    PPPoE connection on ASUS RT-AX88U

    Good. I'm glad that helped. Is your BB connection now up and running through your Asus router?

    GT-AX11000 speedtest difference laptop vs integrated on asuswrt/merlin (QOS issue?)

    Depends on your priorities. If you are speed freak, like me, and just have to see >900Mb in my test results then QoS isn't for you. If you are happy to have the load split but never seeing your full speed in tests, then keep your QoS on. Another thing is to consider is how much each device...

    PPPoE connection on ASUS RT-AX88U

    Have you changed the settings in IPTV? This is the workaround in most ASUS routers for PPPOE, including mine. So I have gone for manual settings in LAN port, using 911 for my ISP profile number (Vodafone) . http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_IPTV_Content.asp I've attached a screenshot that might...

    Issues with Dual Wan Failback

    I run a G-AX11000 with a PPPoE connection to Vodafone/CityFibre Gigafast 900. I therefore connect directly to Vodafone's ONT box. Vodafone supply a sim card USB stick as backup if the main connection fails. Naturally, I have set my router to Dual Wan with USB as the fallback. This worked fine...

    GT-AX11000 speedtest difference laptop vs integrated on asuswrt/merlin (QOS issue?)

    You don't really need QoS with your broadband width. QoS is designed to fairly spread limited bandwidth around devices in your property. Given that you have a gigabit connection with >900Mb downstream you have ample bandwidth for all your devices unless you have a very large family of gaming and...

    WAN to LAN throughput test results

    Thanks for the explanation. Yes, it is a lot of effort for what appears to be little take-up. We are are at an interesting time regarding the working capacity of third-party routers. I wonder, for example, how many people have bought ostensibly powerful routers, guided by the limited provided...

    WAN to LAN throughput test results

    No I wasn't aware of that. (I'm not a frequent visitor.) Thanks. I often see folk linking to the reviews on SNB from other forums. It seems that kind of interest still did not generate enough traffic to sustain the income Tim needed. There really is nowhere else that does in-depth reviews...

    Dual Wan-1 ISP, 2 Lan lines into Wan & Wan/Lan

    I already had the RT-AC88U when I upgraded to Virgin Media's 1Gb service. (Not a dual WAN version) Even using Ethernet, it could not deliver, having a WAN to LAN throughput barely over 800Mb. It delivered downstream speeds of <700Mb. On recommendation, I switched to an RT-AX11000. This has...

    WAN to LAN throughput test results

    I often refer folk to the resources to be found in SNB. Recently, with 1Gb internet connections becoming increasingly available I have referred associates to the test results for router WAN to LAN throughput. Naturally, a connection up to 1Gb requires a router with a WAN to LAN throughput close...

    Asus GT-AX11000 Not Achieving Full WAN Throughput

    I spotted this thread when looking for something else. I note your frustration. I had a similar problem until I was told that the problem was with QoS. QoS is only of any use if your ISP connection is less than 600Mb for sharing out bandwidth fairly between all your devices. QoS pegged my...

    GT-AX11000: What are the default LAN IP addresses for this router?

    I was surprised, after configuring my new GT-AX11000 to see that its LAN IP address, the IPv4 gateway, is 192.168.50.1. It allocates 192.168.50.** to all LAN devices. All previous routers, by default, have used 192.168.1.1. Why is the GT-AX11000 different? Secondly, does this have...

    Having Speed issues with Asus gt-ax11000

    Yes, I get that. I did some research too, a couple of days ago, and came to the same conclusion. My purpose for making the observation was really to suggest that as a factor for the OP. BTW, the second bit of your post regarding multiple cores:- Does that just apply when trying to use QoS, or...

    Having Speed issues with Asus gt-ax11000

    I bought GT-AX11000 recently to do justice to my new 1 Gig Virgin Media connection and to serve my two son's gaming needs. Initially I got the speeds I expected across my Cat5e ethernet network - 950Mb/50Mb. However, when I tried to configure QoS to prioritize gaming generally, and the two...

    ASUS RT-AC88U providing incomplete and unstable service

    I'm going to stick with ports 1-4 even if I expand the network. The general advice is to build networks like a pyramid rather than a daisy chain, but I shall have to live with that.

    Asus rt-ac66u and vpn client

    The lack of replies suggests that you are asking too much of your kit. I have set up a VPN server and client on my AC88U and there are no options of the sort you require. I'm wondering why you need that specification. If you need VPN on just your wifi clients, then why not set up a server for...
