    Asus router not reconnecting automatically after connection outage.

    Thank you. I did wonder why we have the option for both methods. It seemed like a belt and braces approach, but I suppose it could be a case of overkill.

    Asus router not reconnecting automatically after connection outage.

    Here's my current settings for failover.

    Asus router not reconnecting automatically after connection outage.

    Thank you. I will attempt to apply that when I figure how to edit firmware script. I have never attempted that sort of thing before. If there are no future problems I will keep dual WAN. Having said that, when in Spain for two weeks, just to be sure, I will disable it.

    Asus router not reconnecting automatically after connection outage.

    Thanks. I will disable dual WAN for now, to see what happens. I may have to wait a while, periodically check my TBB graph to see if there have been any outages. Meanwhile, are there optimal settings that reduce the likelihood of 'failover' not operating properly?

    Asus router not reconnecting automatically after connection outage.

    Sorry, I should have said. I have do have a dual WAN and am using a USB connection backup dongle with a mobile broadband SIM. Do you think this may be the problem? I have left it at the default setting.

    Asus router not reconnecting automatically after connection outage.

    For my main router I use a GT-AX11000 running Asuswrt - Merlin. Generally, everything works fine, including my 1Gb, symmetrical Fusion Fibre connection. However, within the last two months I have experienced two small-hours outages, presumably to do with ISP or network provider maintenance or...

    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...
