    RT-AX86U Pro personalize 2.5 port

    OK - one of my 5 year upgrades.... I am getting a RT-AX86U Pro. Ports seem to be ID'd as 2.5, WAN, 4xLAN (1st 'Game') I'm reading on the 2.5 port, to some confusion. My usage is: Not a gamer, buy cheap Fios (300M), an elder couple that ONLY ever watches a single stream together (I've seen...

    Wifi security ?s

    All interesting stuff, however... 1 If I have a changed SSID, can't someone go home and generate the table and come back. ( I understand they may have bought/created the easy ones, but can't a unique one still be rainbow'ed with very little effort?) 2 I have tried using 2nd RT as...

    2 X RT-N56U - want safe guest ssid

    To try to resolve Double NAT, I tried making the second RT a peer - DCHP off, cable to LAN instead of WAN port. Isolate AP, reboot all. When I attached to the 1st, unsecure guest SSID, with Isolate on - I can see network, attached storage and homegroup through either RT. I can see network...

    Wifi security ?s

    Hey! 1 I see articles they say to hide SSID, and then others say that hiding is silly - just change the SSID from default. However, if I can form a competent question... couldn't someone drive by, see my new SSID, go home, and overnight generate the table with my odd, but seen SSID and come...

    RT-N56U: Updating to 3.x firmware from 1.x; Anything special to be aware of?

    Somewhere along the way, they decided updating to Radio OFF was smart - made no sense to me! May be better now, or storing settings during upgrade. Radio ON/OFF is on Professional tab.

    VPN connection failed

    Things I've learned getting mine up... The cell phone internal page does NOT change to indicate VPN success... I figure the first link (to the tower) never really changes. Search my ip or such to find ip view at other end - it will change. Router VPN page will show when connected. Mine...

    2 X RT-N56U - want safe guest ssid

    Yeah, the 56 doesn't have a guest setting. I thought I would accomplish that with 2nd RT. Anyway, doing some more testing... I have a Surface and an Android phone, both wireless to 2nd RT - supposed to be isolated. The Surface can dos ping the Android - exactly NOT what I thought minimum...

    2 X RT-N56U - want safe guest ssid

    Hi all. I bought a second RT on egghead sale day. I thought I would plug in second RT (downstream) and set AP Isolated for safe guest account... didn't work. I would like to really understand AP isolated - does it even work, what exactly does it do, does that change when NOT the modem-attached...
