    Help to configure QOS

    This test will give you more information: https://www.megapath.com/speedtestplus/ However, it's unlikely you'll get this to work correctly. The theory is to limit your upload stream to something below your actual max... lets be safe and say 20%. So if 14.63 is your max, you'd set the qos...

    Asus users, anyone else close to saying "screw it" and moving to Ubiquiti?

    But that's just it .. even ASUS isn't fully open source. We've got that trend micro stuff calling home even when it's fully disabled, and then there's the binary blobs for the wireless hardware. Huh? The product is marketed (and priced) as a feature rich solution without any asterisks...

    Asus users, anyone else close to saying "screw it" and moving to Ubiquiti?

    These all-in-one routers reminds me of all-in-one printers ---Lots of promises, but way too many gotchas and headaches. I'm moving to pfSense. Just built a mini-pc for it. ASUS will be turned into a dumb access point.

    UPNP devices not connecting to internet when IP Traffic enabled

    What do you mean "IP Traffic"? What happens if you ssh into your router and type this: iptables -L FUPNP ?

    ipv6 delegated lan prefix issue...native ipv6

    For whatever reason, DHCP-PD isn't working. Since it isn't I've changed this setting to "Disabled." This opens up the ability for me to hand edit the lan ipv6 settings, however, I'm not able to specify the /61 prefix. The web gui is choosing /64 for me, and that field isn't editable. Is...

    [New home] Reliable wifi

    giopas, This was just mentioned on Engadget today: http://www.engadget.com/2016/02/23/eero-is-the-home-wifi-solution-ive-been-waiting-for/ Apparently they create a mesh wireless network for the entire house.

    ATT Uverse

    If they're using U-Verse for their broadband service, that cable modem can be disconnected and put away. ATT doesn't do cable. U-Verse requires using ATT's equipment. This is because of their proprietary 802.1x authentication, but they also state this is necessary for remote troubleshooting...

    Use Merlin for WiFiPresence

    I have to wonder though -- with cell phones reserving power n all, will it always be in the arp table? I can see situations where it might be "asleep" or in low power mode long enough to suggest that the unit is no longer present. Oh, and I'm not familiar with ifttt... I wrote that code as if...

    Use Merlin for WiFiPresence

    That seems way more complex then it needs to be? #!/bin/sh wl -i eth1 assoclist | while read macaddress; do case "$macaddress" in *AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF*) /usr/sbin/curl -X POST "https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/AlHome/with/key/API-KEY" ...

    Want to use MRTG to monitor per user usage

    Nullity, What is generating that data? Such as the first hop ping? How is rrdtool retrieving this info to create the graph?

    Router for ATT

    I would love to hear if there is an after market modem for ATT u-verse, but I'm pretty sure it's their equipment or bust. The two modems I had an option of choosing were the PACE 5268AC, and the ARRIS NVG589. I chose the PACE because it was similar to the older router they provided. It...

    Best router for hardcore wired gamer

    If you want zero latency, plug your gaming rig directly into the modem. Get a second nic or wifi adapter, and share the internet with your other devices through that. :)

    Best router for hardcore wired gamer

    Has anyone looked at the router comparison benchmark charts here? http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/charts/router/view ASUS's numbers aren't that great, and oddly older models are shown to have better throughput than newer (At least in the WAN<->LAN categories)

    Best router for hardcore wired gamer

    Since x86 has been brought up -- If you (anyone here who wants to respond) were ASUS and got to choose all the hardware into their next router directed towards gamers, what would you choose? What would be a good cpu/mb combo for mini-itx these days? Preferably something that didn't munch down...

    SOLVED - CPU Utilization gui seems faulty

    Okay, I think I've answered my own question... When I issued this command to force the process to stick to a single core: taskset -c 0 dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M of=/dev/null The utilization looked like it should have: Apparently the OS was doing some type of core to core swapping with my...
