Fair point, but it's such a weird symptom I don't know how else to describe it. All open TCP connections are closed?! Nothing is logged in /tmp/syslog.log, and I've been trying to grab a netstat immediately before and after to see if it really is dropping all open connections, but inconclusive...

On Thursday my ISP swapped my ancient Zhone ONT/modem/router/AP for a simple GPON ONT/modem. The Zhone was in bridge mode, connected to the WAN port on my AC88U. The new ONT is purely a modem so replicates this setup. Since then everything is good except that every 13 minutes 42 seconds (yes...

Hi folks. I have a DS415Play with 4x6TB WD Red drives in RAID5. A couple of weeks ago my A/C unit tripped my circuit breaker and when I flipped the power back my NAS started beeping. The volume was shown as degraded with disk 2 not initialised. I reinitialised the disk, ran a quick SMART test...

Price difference not withstanding I'd still be more inclined towards the RT-AC3100U / RT-AC88U as I think it's based on better, more future proof technology, for reasons that are explained here...

I had a similar dilemma upgrading my 4 year old RT-N66U and my thought process was as follows, already having decided to stick with Asus: - I considered the AC66U, which would be sufficient for my current needs and is basically the AC version of what I had, but I don't like the idea of paying...

Actually inclined to agree with you both now. My previous experience of AsusWRT was almost four years ago when I bought my RT-N66U, and back then it was sorely lacking. I stuck Tomato on it and never looked back. Now after setting up the RT-AC88U (several times, as my ISP insisted I factory...

Thank you for the reply. Sorry it took me a while to respond - been travelling for work. I picked up the AC88U yesterday - I figured the extra 4 LAN ports would be more useful than an additional 4x4 radio. Overall very impressed. Laptop speed has received a modest bump up to ~200mbps but more...

Hello folks. I'm thinking about replacing my 4 year old Asus RT-N66U with an AC device. My N66U has been very good so I would like to stick with Asus. I wire up everything I can so I don't have a huge number of wireless devices, and nothing that really needs massive throughput. In the house...

Yep, looks like there are a couple of high-end consumer options at the 8 port level, but moving up to 16 puts you firmly in SME territory. Oh well, I found this: http://www.ebuyer.com/407270-tp-link-16-port-gigabit-smart-switch-with-2-sfp-slots-tl-sg2216 Still seems like massive overkill...

Hey all, I'm moving into a new place shortly and I want to finally get a proper NAS [ie. not just a USB hard drive hanging off my router]. I have been looking at the following: Synology DS412+ Thecus n4800 -- I like the built-in mini UPS functionality. QNAP 459 Pro+ We've just got a 10-bay...

I never really got to the bottom of why this happened, but it provided the incentive I needed to finally get round to flashing my Asus RT-N66U with Tomato firmware. WoPM is working fine now.

Hey, a bit of a strange [and long] one that has me at my wits' end. My setup is a bit complicated so I've attached a diagram to make it easier to explain. The Huawei RG256 is supplied by my ISP and I have to keep it in order to use the SIP VOIP service. It's set in DMZ mode to forward almost...
