    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Is there a wireless client LAN survey feature in Padavan's FW? If yes, how to access it? I need to visually monitor periodically, what wireless clients are active in accessible by the router range including those not connected to the router. If no such feature - why? And what Windows software...

    Fastest Gigabit Card?

    I was able to have one of adapters run at 670Mbps wired to modem eventually by various optimizations, but that seems to be the max for now. I guess some hidden CPU or Mobo structure cause the limitation. Possibly, some unidentified extra driver layers still exist from long time installed and...

    Subscribed topics list

    Would be nice to add to Search shortcuts "Your subscribed topics list". Currently the closest option is "Your content", but it shows the topics were I posted with each topic showing my last post time, when in fact I'm looking for any updates in these topics. So instead of showing my old posts...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Is there a WebUI login timeout setting in this FW? If not - why? It seems to be a standard feature on any router or modem. Any other ways to set the timeout to 10 min?

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    Not really, the developer may not know that with regards to all board chipsets and the default bootloader, even less about existing vulnerabilities. Did you read my entire above post, or only half? I don't suspect RMerlin in anything along these lines for sure, and greatly appreciate his...

    If that gives you piece of mind - I'm happy for you. ;)

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    You marked UK as your location, but claim to know a lot about US laws and "debates", while they are not the same thing. All info is on the web, a few random links for your further research: Act (more), CMTS, Arris, How to, Data, go on... As reported in media, the problems arise...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    @joegreat The reason I posted the question here was explained in it: to find out if Merlin FW (including this version) is different from factory firmware when it comes to "back doors" mandated by US legislation for network devices approved for sale in the US. Do you know the answer? If "yes"...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Main releases by Padavan are called "milestones". Nightly releases are done by robots, and marked by their milestone number and diff upon install, like the last one: 3.0.3.9-099_dff9a34. They incorporate all merged till that date changes. Next milestone release will hopefully be done by Padavan...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    Security related question. As known, all routers out of the box with factory firmware come with default login & password to Web UI (like admin & admin or such), and also factory login & password (for law enforcement, service, or provider login, at times stored on a separate chip) for UI, Telnet...

    Fastest Gigabit Card?

    The 2-port card is hooked to PCI-e 8x Mobo port that should have sufficient bandwidth even for 10 G card. The card spec says its 2Gbps per port in duplex mode with BCM5715 chipsets. I suspect that Traffic Meter, Firewall, and similar programs install extra layer of drivers that slow down network...

    Fastest Gigabit Card?

    What do you guys suggest to find out what is slowing down the cards? You may be right, but I need a solution. ;)

    Fastest Gigabit Card?

    I test speed using various methods, such as LAN Speed Test between 2 PCs on LAN (that test has server and client packages), by watching the file copy speed on LAN in Windows Explorer, by doing a speed test with my internet provider's Speed Test server. The max speed through this card is 450 Mbps...

    Fastest Gigabit Card?

    Is there a trustworthy comparison test or forum thread comparing measured speed output of various Gigabit Ethernet PCI-E cards on this forum or elsewhere? Can't find it on Google. What low cost Gigabit Ethernet PCI-E cards you guys can recommend to ensure real gigabit speeds on lan and Gigabit...

    Why internet speeds differ by PCs?

    @TonyH No, laptop is older with weaker CPU, and the provider's and DSLR tests show about the same wired speed test result for it: 150 & 30 with A/V switched off. Nonetheless it shows 600 Mbps download speed at copying files to its internal Sata 1 disk over LAN. Why is that? @jec6613 I measured...
