Situation dependent... I for one never believe spin down should cause an issue on almost any modern system, and myself do have a mechanical drive that I have a fairly what one would consider on the router an 'aggressive' spin down time, and never has any stability issue caused by spin up/down...

The fact that even the official readme installation instruction point to a CDN path despite he already host on Git is mind boggling for me...

If there ain't any important data, just reformat/partition the problem flash drive in Windows, than swap both the flash drive/port. Run it a for awhile to observe. 1. If the problem persist on the USB3 port, than you know, you may have a faulty USB 3.0 port; 2. If the initial flash drive fail...

If you have unlocked your bootloader, auto update will stop function regardless what you set. Not sure on the newer phones, but at Zenfone 3, some of the update is incremental, which means you have to have specific version before updating to the latest (yes, I know, huge Gigs of incremental...

I don't think it necessary, as even cheap UPS now days does Voltage regulation. Even if there is a power spike, your UPS will be the first one to go down. In the event where if your property got stuck by direct lightning without a proper good earthing of electrical wiring, no amount of...

Had Zenfone3 Zoom (ZE553KL), Miracast works fine, never test the android auto though. And due to software limitation of 2.4GHz Wifi band only, Miracast some times lag if you cast and stream at the same time. Asus phone tend to find some nice niche and value in the market, however being a non...

You can leave the Queue Discipline at fq_codel, it the bread and butter for lazy man's QoS for now. ATM is mostly only apply to DSL type of broadband, since you have fibre, you should un-tick the box. As for packet overhead, to really simply, you need to first understand how a ISP/carrier...

While it seems a good initiative, it riddles too many question if privacy is the main focus concern. Admittedly it a hard thing to do and very difficult to strike a balance and in no way I'm targeting anyone/anything in personal way, but here're my two cents: 1. Like any privacy centric...

Well, I would say your experience was certainly better than mine. I no longer use the ER-X/Lite, but hex's if I were to aiming for that range. I still deploy the ER-4 now and then if the scenario fit, but typically I restrict myself to bandwidth less than 300Mbs 1:1 services. Either than the...

Yes, provide the firmware you're on doesn't break the hardward offload. ER-X had a shaky history on breaking the NAT hardware offload (not sure now, hasn't used on in 2 years)... And to look at the fancy feature and knowing most will break the hardware offload is, well..... I'm listing a...

Ha ha ha, joke of the day for me :D Pretty sums it up... You can't have everything... RMerlin supported router is probably the best you can get without overly exceeding your budget within the class range... But surely this goes above your budget? Bare in mind even try to squeeze within budget...

@ColinTaylor already answered your question, if you want to isolate the guest Wifi to the rest of the client, you must not enable 'Access Intranet'. And you guest client will have internet access even with intranet disabled. As for the switch, if you didn't configure anything and just plugin...

None really, latency caused hardware routers generally are lies within the hardware design itself, very little you can do to drastically improve the latency even by 1/2ms. QoS on the other hand may have adversary effect on latency that may increase or decrease the latency by a small margin...

Well, you caught me.. I will only consider Cisco on the Enterprise products where the scenario fits, and it also where most of my Cisco experience lies. As for no.1, I only consider them no1. base on their history, and because of their head start and survived throughout the years the impact...

Setup your PC connect directly to the DrayTek modem and do a continuous ping to both the public IP (ie. 8.8.8.8 Google DNS) and Draytek LAN interface IP. If the Google DNS failed to ping while Draytek is fine, it means your ISP or connection between your FTTC / Draytek has issue. If it fails on...
