I'm not sure why I accessed a random site posted by someone on a forum... I should probably be in bed... Anyway, I only got the spinning graphic, until I disabled UBlock Origin. Maybe you have some sort of blocker too. (Maybe more sophisticated ones, like PiHole or something.) Best regards

Thank you RMerlin for the continued support, and to the more adventurous testers who went first. Dirty upgrade to 386.14_beta2. Running since 6 hours and nothing to report. (Asus asked me to accept a few things. I accepted everything.) Very simple setup (AC86U, no plugins, (1 AiMesh node that...

It's funny how communication can go sometimes. I just wanted to say "thank you" and show my appreciation for a simple tip from Tech9 that saved me some time and some sanity. (I also appreciated that the tip was straightfoward and didn't require unexpected settings, multiple reboots etc.) I'm...

Thank you. I had the expectation that it would be possible to "pair" over wifi; and even that it would be required to do so... Connecting through Ethernet first was "first time right". Thanks again. (2 x AC86U: 1 Merlin and 1 Asus Official)

And yet, I hope they will offer a vertical router, like the 86 type, for wifi7 at some point.

In the end, I plugged the TV cable directly in the router, not in the switch. By the way, my TV always had connectivity, no stuttering, generally all OK, in all setups (with or without switch). But it was reporting lower speeds when connected through the switch. And it felt like it was...

I never found an explanation (my solution was to bypass the switch...). But my problem was similar in my eyes. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/mystery-of-connection-speed-in-netflix-app-in-tv-with-or-without-network-switch.87778/#post-878374

Parental control is the same, same user interface. Merlin also allows scripts. Scripts can do anything, for instance parental control. A few years ago, I could write a script that was closer to my needs. It took significant learning though. And the context was different. For instance, there was...

Hello Snipzy, I have nowhere near the knowledge of dthat and most around here. But let me suggest a cheap and easy experiment. You report that it worked really good with docsis, at a lower "speed" (throughput). So, setup Cake on your router. As speeds for download/upload, choose the speeds of...

If they were dead, I wouldn't observe this (from original post): If cable_3 is plugged in the usual port in the switch, and the other end is disconnected from the TV and connected to a laptop instead of the TV, the laptop sees approx. 360 - 400 Mbps (not 30), so my full ISP connection speed. So...

Hello, 1. labelled as CAT5 (router to switch) and labelled as CAT5E (switch to TV). Both tested recently at 1Gbps with iperf3 (and also seemingly with Etherate a couple years back based on my notes, although I don't remember much of this). 2. No 3. Between 1,5m and 2,1m 4. No, still the...

Hello, Thank you follower for the input. I also came to the conclusion that my network is OK. About throttling and Netflix plan, I think they would apply equally when the TV is plugged in the switch or plugged in the router. And yet, I got very different results. So, I don't think throttling...

Hello again, I think this is spot on. It must be a buffer/bufferbloat issue in the switch. The switch is sized for gigabit, and probably not super smart. So it might have buffers that are somewhat big for 100Mbps, and that negatively impact the functioning in specific circumstances. And the...

Processor speed is definitely a factor in speedtests. Like when my AC86U couldn't reach gigabit in speed tests when I had gigabit conection a few weeks back. But in this case, the processor in my TV is able to "speedtest" 90 Mbps when connected to the router. So, processor is probably not the...

I had no idea this could be a thing. But that sounds very interesting, I'll definitely look into that. Thank you for your interest. The clients that seem to work fine with the Netgear switch are gigabit (2 laptops, and PS4). The client that seems to not work fine has only a 100 Mbps port (and...
