I might, but then I'll be bugging you with random questions. I have almost no unix experience and using a lot of this to start labbing and know more. I have an att RG that im trying to learn more about, and circumvent, so about to start trying out pfsense as well, waiting for a spare m900 tiny...

Ahh ok. I remember using tomato and ddwrt over 10 years ago and must be where I saw vlan type options. I'm rather partial to merlin, so I'll take a look and see if i have other options.

I have a RT-AC68U and wanted to start playing around with vlans on the lan ports. Am I missing something, but I dont see a menu to alter this. I see the Tools/Sysinfo section shows the ports and indicates they are all on Vlan1, but how can I modify that? I have a cisco sg300-10p that I wanted to...

As Gar mentioned this model isnt mainstream really. It appears to be some budget model, rebranded for different stores. As is stock it might be fine, but Ive had asus routers with merlin specifically for the last 6+ years and have had no performance issues. No need to reboot the router offhand...

So I've noticed. I returned it and ordered an asus rt-ac68u for a few bucks more. I'd rather something popular and has support than something I cant even google with consistently results.

Ehh I cant seem to find any info about this, meanwhile the Asus RT-AC68U is only $10-20 more currently, so I'll be returning this.

Slightly confused with these. So what 3rd party software options would be available as I just got the walmart one? And which model should i be researching? I see r7000 mentioned all over but then it seams this isn't in that range.

I needed to upgrade from an Asus RTn66u and saw this at Walmart and picked one up. What recommendations are there? I was using Asus-Merlin on my last 2 Asus routers, but I have used DDWRT in the past. Is there a specific one for netgear? I saw something I might be able to get asusmerlin on it...

Yes, I prefer 5GHz when available, and that wasnt as saturated. However I have some devices that, god knows why, do not have 5Ghz. like Nintendo 3ds, Nintendo Wii, my kids "new" budget samsung droid phones that are less than a month old. Meanwhile I'm throwing out mini pci AC wifi cards from...

See, in a case like this I have no idea how to proceed. Go with something like Channel 8 or get on 11? and this is only a few. One of the list views I counted 51 SSIDs and I dont think that includes any hidden ones. Optimum gives everyone a free router, but it also adds an SSID under 2.4 and...

Ill have to double check, but last time there were over 40 ssid's picked up in my area. I dont think it's possible to not experience any absurd overlapping. But that could be it. One of the cats jacked it up and I had to do a factory reset. I tried putting back settings I was aware of like...

My older Nexus 2013 kept losing connection and I chalked it up to the fact this thing is beat to hell and why not add bad wifi to the list. However my newer Galaxy S7 phone is also constantly showing disconnects so now I'm starting to wonder. I upgraded the firmware and it appears to still be...

No, I had all wan access disabled. If I'd ever need to connect I go in through teamviewer, then it becomes local. I never liked vnc always being exposed. I used to get random port scans all the time back in the day. I like teamviewer keeps me a bit more anonymous. I also recalled I had a Linksys...

Hence I'm a little baffled. I recall a few years ago I used to leave winvnc up and my wife called asking if I was remoted in. I said no because someone had just gotten on. So I closed it and forgot it was in startup. Windows updated did a reboot over night or something. I wake up and see IE...

Im fairly certain WebUI was disabled, only interal. The admin pass was part of the WPA key so I can only guess someone bruteforced or something the key and got on the network and took a guess at the admin credentials and got lucky. Im just a little surprised they only changed the the SSID and...
