Hi, I'm trying to set up "Wake on WAN" on my local dekstop PC. I've enabled the related settings both in the BIOS and in the ethernet network adapter's advanced settings, and the system works when I send the "magic packets" from a PC inside the network (wake on LAN). However, when I try to send...

So, I am looking for advice on a new network setup I am contemplating: I have relatively fast internet (1000/100) and I right now use my ISP Modem as router. I have connected a LinkSys Velop WiFi Mesh system to it (in Bridge), as well as a few LAN switches, to connect my QNAP NAS, my ReadyNAS...

Hardware wise it looks almost perfect. Software is based on OpenWRT . I'll use it at home where like 10-15 devices can connect at the same time. Wireless performance and QoS capability is important. I don't know how often it gets firmware updates and the stability of the software. This device...

Hello, I have Edimax BR-6428 nS wireless router. I was thinking of upgrading to TP-LINK Archer C80 because it's 802.11ac and has 4 antennas. Then I found Xiaomi Redmi AC2100 which seems to be a lot better than Edimax that I have and cheaper twice as much. Then I discovered Huawei AX3 with...

I have a Trendnet TEW-723BRM ADSL router/modem. It works well in all respects other than the fact that I can't get the router to forward/open ports. The setup is a little different than other Trendnet routers, but fairly straightforward. Here is a link to the emulator for the port...

I'm searching for a solution which provides QoS (bandwidth guarantees and latency protection) to public subnets I connect to for audio/video conferencing (think Skype, Slack, Google Hangouts, etc.). Literally the only thing I have found is this post/screenshot of a USR router QoS config (first...

I have fios and feel like a noob, I’ve been paying for my router for a year without realizing. The lease has increased to $12 per month that’s how I spotted it. I have 100/100mb service I’m mostly fiber except to the router that is still coax, I’m pretty confident I can run a Ethernet line from...

Hi, I have Verizon FiOS service which uses a Verizon ActionTec router. Yesterday the 4 LAN ports of the router broke. When Verizon tests the router it responds properly and WiFi access works, but my home wired LAN is broken. The Verizon ONT is ok, so phone and cable are fine. Verizon is...

I have CenturyLink fiber optics with a Zyxel C1100Z modem/router. I want to set it up as standalone modem and connect that to the ASUS RT-N56U router. I've read that I can go to the Zyxel and turn on Transparent Bridging and turn off Wi-Fi. My question is how do I connect the router to the...

In my office I have a wireless Cisco Linksys EA4500 router, it has 4x wired ports (which are all in-use right now). Now across the house I have setup some HW that requires 4x wired RJ-45 connections (the hardware is not WIFI ready) so I see 2 simple solutions: 1- Buy 2x switches one to...

I recently purchased the Asus RT-AC68U to replace my old Verizon Fios Actiontec M1424. I turned my Actiontec into a modem bridge but unfortunately there is bottleneck and a few issues. Whenever I'm downloading games on my PC, which uses Ethernet. All the WiFi clients are slowed down by a...

I recently decided i wanted to use the existing ethernet connections in my home to connect some devices (Laptop, PS4, etc.) with faster speed, but one look at the cabinet with all of the Cat5e and Coax cables and I was lost. I have an Xfinity Gateway (Arris TG1682G). All the rooms I want the...

Evening everybody, I have been looking through the internet but I got even more confused and haven't seen an answer I liked. My dilemma is that I have a router/modem combo but I already ate up my 4 slots and while I like wifi, I want to be able to plug in more items to it around 6-8. I have...

I am unsure of the correct terminology to describe the feature I am looking for. I would like to get a router that connects to my regular DSL modem. I would also like to occasionally hook my network to the internet via the " wifi hotspot" feature of my phone. I heard the term WiFi on WAN or...

In need of moving to an AC router (most of my stuff is on GbE). Looking for something mature, stable, relatively cheap at ~$50 or so, 3rd party firmware support, will be used as a AP but figure may as well get a full router to have a backup if the main one goes down. Really just need A,G,N & AC...

I recently bought a new router (Tenda F300), because the old one started failing. I set it up as usual, PPPoE and everything. Everything was working great until I turned on my wired PC and noticed that the WiFi speed drops down to around 1mbit/s. I tried absolutely everything from restarting the...

My FiOS contract is up, and although the service is good, I hate the fact that you're stuck with their router. So I'm thinking of switching to Cox. The FiOS Quantum router is mediocre at best and not compatible with MESH networking. I can't access the ONT to change routers so can't go...

I'm looking for troubleshooting ideas. The setup is a cable modem connected to a Cisco RV180 router. There is a switch connected to one router port and two PLCs connected to the switch. Each PLC has an embedded web server. I can connect a laptop to the switch, or to a router port, and call up...

I'm still quite the beginner when it comes to networking and i faced a problem to which i wasn't able to figure out the right answer. The hubs are of type Ethernet. The routers have ethernet interfaces. Router 3 has an additional interface of another type that allows it to connect to the...

this is something i run into at least a few times per year... i have a private game server configured and running but whenever I test my router ports everything is reported closed; even if I enable DMZ on the server's IP. doesn't make any sense unless it's just my ISP blocking all of the ports...

Greetings! I have a Tp-Link Archer C7 router and I was interested in blocking an ip-camera from accessing the internet for security reasons but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I believe the option that I want is "access control" but when it comes to setting up the "target", the only...

I am a newbie in networking and router configuration. I tried forwarding ports and it didnt work. Not sure if I did it right. I have a modem which connects to a router which is connected to my system. I reset both the modem and router to its default settings to make sure i didnt mess with any...

Hi, I am looking to buy a 3G/4G router to use in a place with limited coverage. Therefore I would like it to be able to receive an antenna for better reception. Would you have any recommendations? Thanks

I am living in a rv park, with free WiFi. However i am only allowed to connect one device for the duration of my stay. To first connect to the WiFi I must enter my access code and agree to terms on a browser (like a hotel). Once that code is used only the device that entered it will be allowed...

So I don't know how to word the question or I'm sure I could find specifics elsewhere but I'm stuck on this one. My parents had a house built 8 or so years ago, they had Cat5 wiring setup through the entire house with the phone lines and coax cables. They live in the middle of no where so for...

I've been trying to set up my router so that the HD Homerun (a network TV tuner) traffic is prioritized over all else. It's very annoying to have recorded a show, but have it glitched out, because a file was being transferred somewhere on the network. I've been unsuccessful when trying to...

Hi, I live in a 4 bed house and our bt homehub is currently positioned under the floor in the bedroom at the front of the house. We experience issues when watching Netflix and when online gaming. I am convinced that our issues are because the router is under the floorboards at the front of...

Okay so to make a long story short I have 100 mbps Internet, and for whatever reason have trouble streaming 4K content. I had an older ISP provided modem/router combo... I've since replaced it with an Arris SBG6700-AC. I have a Sony Bravia X810C which is obviously a 4k TV which supports 2160p...
