router

Hello. I am new to networking, and i am getting assigned an ASN. I've also ordered a business router that supports BGP, and renting couple IPv4's. I am wondering how the BGP routers are connected to the "world" so that i can peer with other AS networks and internet exchanges. So in theory what i...

Hi I’m looking to replace my sky router as it is shocking for signal and I would also like to prioritise bandwidth to certain devices. I am aware that swapping a sky router is a pain because I need a router that supports option 60/61. I know next to nothing about router and google searches have...

Some ISPs in Japan use a convoluted solution to deliver IPv4 over IPv6 called V6Plus. I have the RT-AX56U which has an option for V6 but when this is selected you get a MAP-E port mismatch error or a Map server did not reply response. So I'm stuck on the much slower PPPoE connection. Is there...

I am from India and had got a new ASUS RT-AX92U router a week back. Opened it and tried to configure. To my surprise, the router was just in a loop boot mode. Tried reset using Reset button, hard reset using WPS button as well as rescue mode. Nothing worked and hence had to return and seek a...

My Asus RT-AX89X seems to be stuck in rescue mode, I’ve been trying everything I Can but it doesn’t turn on fully, the power light just blinks slowly. I tried uploading firmware and even hard factory reset it still won’t turn on

I have a 68U that's great but starting to show it's age. I'm thinking about buying a more state of the art router and would love references from those with lots of experience/expertise in the area. Does anyone have any knowledge on the best one to get that still uses the Merlin firmware that...

Hey all, I tried my best to search this but didn’t have any luck finding answers. I don’t even know if the title is correct… Does anyone know why they both have different ‘Firmware version’ numbers, first router 16_0 and the second 384_82072? Is it just like serial numbers but for firmware...

I am a new user of At&t. I am struggling to configure it in my VPN router (https://www.allhdd.com/cisco-rv082-vpn-router/) Can I use it with a VPN or I will have to remove VPN settings from the router?

I am dipping my toe into home networking and wish to upgrade the router my ISP gave me. As I understand it, I can put my router into modem-only mode and connect a third-part router to do everything else. The advantages being that, unlike ISP-provided routers, these third-party routers have far...
