UPnProxy - the final nail in the coffin for UPnP Posted: 22 Apr 2018 01:31 PM PDT Chances are, if you have UPnP enabled on an Internet facing consumer router, you have been or will be compromised. Akamai, the Internet giant, released a report this month where it revealed that it detected bad actors abusing at least 65,000 routers to create proxy networks. Here is a summary article.

Asus - RT N66U changed it's language to Korean and set a strange DDNS by itself Posted: 22 Apr 2018 08:18 AM PDT Hello all, Today I was using my phone while all of a sudden my WI-FI craps out. I immediately logged in to my router interface on 192.168.1.1 to find out it has changed to this language: https://imgur.com/a/Fwr0DEq the entire interface had this language. I am the only one in my house with the login data to access the configuration and I did not set it up like this. I also noticed that my DDNS was set to this address: 'emkak57039.asuscomm.com' This is what I have done so far:
We are also experiencing slower internet, sometimes lag and unstable connections on WI-FI. We have 400Mbit Down and 40Mbit up via cable but WI-FI is also 50% less of that. On 2.4GHZ it's 25% of that speed. But even now that the router has been completely reset it changes to the Korean language and says my internet config has been updated. Nothing has changed what I can see in the configuration screen. I refresh the page and it's English again. What is happening? EDIT: Thanks guys! I flashed the original firmware (latest one) and reseted my router. Also set HTTPS in the admin area. Got faster internet now! [link] [comments] |
Ubiquiti AP's VS TP-LINK AP's?? Posted: 22 Apr 2018 08:23 PM PDT G'day everyone, Looking at grabbing a few AP's for my place and have noticed a difference in pricing regarding TP-Link and Ubiquiti AP's. Not interested in the controller software, more interested in wall penetration and distance. What would you all recommend? Currently looking at the EAP-110/115 & Ubiquiti AP-LR. The current price of an 110 is about $39 compared to the $129 of the unifiy ap Cheers [link] [comments] |
My router bandwidth usage page doesn't make sense to me. Posted: 22 Apr 2018 01:37 PM PDT https://i.imgur.com/QVvRwKY.jpg I enabled tracking it this morning, then downloaded a few gigs of data. To me, this is only showing 88MB of data downloaded which is obviously way off. Am I reading this wrong? I'm trying to figure out what things in my house are using up all my data, but this makes no sense. Router: AC1750 [link] [comments] |
VLAN's and Layer 3, Mikrotik switch questions Posted: 22 Apr 2018 07:08 PM PDT My current network consists of no VLAN's. However, I might want to change that soon, or in the future. I am also planning a network overhaul to add 10G, so now is a good time to figure out what I want My Current setup goes like this: But, I want to add 10G SFP+ for my ESXi box, and my Synology NAS. So I need to decide on a switch
Assuming my switch config is below, where would my pfSense router connect? Should I just get an SFP+ card in my pfSense box, and connect it to the "Core" CRS317? Or should I just connect to the S1600 "access" switch? [link] [comments] |
Is it possible to setup a WAP to my router-generated Guest Network? Posted: 22 Apr 2018 07:08 PM PDT Hey guys! I hope you are well. I have a Tp-Link AC1350 Archer C60 router connected directly to my modem as my private network. I also make use of their feature to create a subnet Guest Network (isolated from my own LAN). However, the signal for the guest network gets really weak on the other side of the house. With that said, my question is: is it possible to extend my guest network (GN) using a Wireless Access Point since my GN is not generated by a "physical router" (as in: one that I can plug an Ethernet cable on the LAN/WAN port)? Thank you for your time! [link] [comments] |
Issue with dropped connections Posted: 22 Apr 2018 06:12 PM PDT Hello all, I have simple (aka cheap) TP-link N300 router and an Arris CM820a modem (provided by ISP). The router is running its stock firmware. Connected to router are the following: Wired: Xbox360 (Constantly on) LG Bluray Player (internet is almost never used) Wireless: Roku Express Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge running Android 7 HTC One 10 running Android 8 Samsung Tablet (not connected all the time) HP Laptop running Windows 10 (not connected all the time) Amazon Kindle Fire ISP service is 60 mbps down/8 up. I get this speed pretty consistently. The issue is the two phones will randomly disconnect and reconnect while watching streaming services such as Netflix or Hulu. I also find that I have to power-cycle the router every 2-3 days when I find that my connection speeds severely drop. I live in a 1400 sq ft 2-story townhome. The router sits in the middle of the town home on the bottom floor. I'm thinking up upgrading to the TP-Link Archer C9 or the TP-Link C2300 and using the N300 as an extender upstairs. Thoughts? Recommendations? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 22 Apr 2018 06:04 PM PDT I'd like a managed switch with PoE and while I can only think of 5 things I'll be connecting to it, I'd like to get an 8+ port switch just in case. I was looking at the Cisco SG200-08P, the Netgear GS108PEv3, and the TP-Link TL-SG108PE. Which would you folks recommend or if there's something else you'd recommend in the new sub-$100 range I'd appreciate it. If there's something used in that range I'd consider it as well. Bonus points if I can get something suitable in the ~$50 range. Thank you [link] [comments] |
Posted: 22 Apr 2018 05:47 PM PDT What kinda switch do you guys recommend putting in a 1200 sq ft house with 4 bd a basement and living room. Kids want to be able to hardwire the PS4 and Xbox . And my modem/router 4 ports are being used already. I have 200mbps from cable company [link] [comments] |
Router going down everytime phone rings. Posted: 22 Apr 2018 11:15 AM PDT Hey there, quite a noob when it comes to networking just thought id give this subreddit a shot. I moved by BT Home Hub today from downstairs to upstairs to connect my gaming pc via Ethernet, now every time the house phone rings it disconnects everyone from the wifi very frustrating. Any ideas?

Using Old Telecom System for Ethernet Posted: 22 Apr 2018 04:58 PM PDT Hello, complete noob here. I'm trying to convert my old OnQ 1 x 9x Telecom Module to ethernet. The house was built with Cat5e cables throughout the house, but I cannot figure out how to get the cables running with any internet. I currently have what I believe is an XFINITY xFi Gateway router, but no idea how to set that up with my current system (If that's even possible). Can anyone tell me the best method of action here?

Best router(s) for large family/house? 10-15 users, 20-30 devices. Posted: 22 Apr 2018 11:51 AM PDT Hi all. Recently at my house we've been having some network latency issues, notably jitter but also connectivity / signal noise. This has coincided with the addition of 4 family members to the household making a static 10 residents, with an average of 2 devices connected per person. To compound this, 2 additional family members visit often, and this summer we will have another 5 family members staying on top of that, which I estimate to mean about 30 devices potentially connected at one time. Unfortunately our garbage Virgin Super Hub 3.0 struggles with 10 devices in a reasonable environment (like connecting to the router in the room across the hall). To make things more complicated, our house is 9 bedrooms, and being just 1 room aside from the current router is enough to put the jitter at ~100 ms with just that device connected. With ~15 devices connected around the house we often have dropped connections, though often it holds with just the jitter and unstable speeds. I'm worried with the addition of 10-15 new devices that the internet will be unusable. So as you can see I am looking for a new router or two - something strong and capable of providing a good connection to a large number of devices... wirelessly. I'm not sure if it is a possibility but ideally this router would be considerably more capable at sending a good signal through out troublesome walls floors. Signal noise is often around ~-88dB even with just 1 wall between the device and router - next to the router it is about ~-60dB. Further than 1 room away it varies from -80 to -93dB. To comment on the jitter/latency again, I have been testing with basic speed-tests. I know for Wi-Fi this is not ideal - I have tested hard-wired and these issues do not exist (well, jitter is about 20ms which I understand is not perfect but seems acceptable to me, all things considered). In my room, with my PC ideally positioned for connectivity, I get:
With PC positioned more suitably for general use, I get:
In the room with the most issues (2 rooms and 1 floor from router)
As you can see, average latency can hold steady in most rooms (the router is fairly central in the house). However the jitter is atrocious - up to 3 seconds of delay at times. Hopefully I have provided enough information for what my problems are and thus, what I'm looking for in a router to address them. I have read about the TP-Link Archer C7, which I was looking at buying, but with the number of users we will have staying at the house, I thought I would ask here first to see if a more heavy-duty router may be necessary. I also realize it is very likely we will need a second router/AP also. Unfortunately we have only 2 rooms at opposite ends of the house that are connected with ethernet cable. Whilst I realize that should do, we still had problems with this setup before using 1 Super Hub 3.0 and 1 Coredy RT1200 (of which the 5G no longer seems to be functioning...). I am considering cabling another room if it is advised (for a 3rd router/AP). I just want to reiterate that connecting through walls/floors seems to create considerable, compounding jitter in our house - and I am wondering if this is something that a superior router(s) will make considerably better, or if it is something in the structure of the house that creates this issue, good router or no.

High ping when hardwired into router (1,200ms), but low ping (3ms) when plugged into modem Posted: 22 Apr 2018 02:13 AM PDT Hi, On my PlayStation, I was/am currently having an issue with immense lag, and 1,200+ms ping while playing Fortnite. I disconnected my router, and hardwired my PS4 directly to my modem. My ping then changed to 4ms. I don't really mind having my router disconnected and not having WiFi while I'm gaming (I have good cell service here), but once in awhile is quite inconvenient. Nobody else uses my WiFi, and it is password protected. I live in the barracks, and I'm not sure if that could/would be the cause of this issue. I would really appreciate help/advice! Router: R6300v2 Average speeds on laptop (using WiFi): Download: 106.4 Upload: 11.2 Ping: 128ms ———————— Average speeds on laptop (while hardwired to router) Download: 92.1 Upload: 10.00 Ping: 70ms ———————— [link] [comments] |
ASUS RT-AC88U Losing 400 mbps in LAN...solutions?? Posted: 22 Apr 2018 02:06 PM PDT Gigabit internet through xfinity, speedtests 985mbps directly from modem but tops around 600 through the switch in the router...i'm curious if anyone has this router and is able to get more out of it, i still have time to return it and go for something else, but i'm shocked to find out that i'm losing so much through the router's switch.

Do stickers affect router performance? Posted: 22 Apr 2018 01:24 PM PDT I just recently bought the T-Mobile branded ASUS AC-1900 and was looking to cover those T-Mobile and "CellSpot" decals on it with stickers around my apartment, but was curious if adding stickers will affect performance at all? I'm sure it doesn't, just looking for a second head to verify. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
Need assistance with third party router Posted: 22 Apr 2018 01:11 PM PDT Long story short, my current service provider is Hyperoptic (UK) - I'm meant to be getting 150 mb broadband, however, the router we have been provided with is awful. Speeds with an Ethernet are reliable and fairly close to the advertised speeds, however, wireless we get around 10 mb on average and at peak times it becomes unusable. With this in mind, I'm looking into getting a third party router as from research it seems to fix the issue, however, I have very little knowledge on what will work and what won't. So far I've narrowed down to two options: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-Wireless-Router-Button-TL-WR940N/dp/B003Y5RYNY/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00XUDWDZE/ref=psdc_430579031_t3_B003Y5RYNY Hyperoptic's guidelines are as follows (https://www.hyperoptic.com/faq/posts/connecting-a-non-hyperoptic-router/) "If you would like to use a third party router, please ensure that it accepts an Ethernet connection, as ADSL routers are not compatible with Hyperoptic's service. If you are a 1Gb customer, no specific configuration is required. If you are a 30Mb or 150Mb customer, your router needs to support /31 (255.255.255.254) subnet mask on its WAN port in order for the router to work with Hyperoptic's service. Hyperoptic DNS servers are 141.0.144.2 and 188.172.144.204, although you can use your own DNS settings if required." Is anyone able to advise if the routers I have linked are suitable and what I will ultimately have to do setup? I am not too concerned on getting the fastest possible speeds, just a reliable wifi connection. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
As a layman, can I (or can you?) tell me what kind of CAT-Cable this is? (pictures included) Posted: 22 Apr 2018 12:51 PM PDT Hello again. A few weeks ago I posted a few question about Powerline and in the end it turned out that Powerline is not what I need. Since then I've been searching for a good solution. Now... today I found a little treasure. I removed a plastic panel at the wall and found 3 yellow cables. Now I have no clue about networking but I am pretty sure these are networking cables. If my guess is correct that would solve all of my issues. All I'd have to do is mount some RJ45 plugs onto the cables and they should work. BUT... now I learned there are several CAT-Types (Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6,...). Now I'm not sure which RJ45-Plugs I should buy because on Amazon there are a few for each. The house was built in 2005 if that is of any help. I already checked if there is something written on the cables but it only says the name of the manufacturer, and a lot number, but I doubt that calling the manufacturer and asking what cable was used in lot number xxx 13 years ago would do much. So I'm hoping you guys can maybe help me? Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
Question/Help Connecting Nighthawk Router To Spectrum Router Posted: 22 Apr 2018 08:35 AM PDT So a bit of background. I have a Netgear Nighthawk AC3200, and I've had it connected to my basic Spectrum cable modem for the last couple of years. The signal on the router doesn't reach to the other side of the house where the bedrooms are. Hasn't ever really been an issue until recently because I ran a 50' ethernet cable, through the attic, to my bedroom. So, I called up Spectrum and they sent me their newest router (Sagemcom) for free. So I figured, I can use the Spectrum router on one side of the house, and the Nighthawk on the other side of the house, by connecting the Nighthawk to the Sagemcom via the 50' ethernet cable. I went ahead and did it, but when you connect to the Nighthawk, the speeds are really low. The systems are only about 8-10' away from the Nighthawk, but the speeds are not high enough to game online or even stream on Netflix via the PS4's. Should I be doing something else to the Nighthawk in the settings to make the speeds faster? The Sagemcom router they gave me is working great, but the Nighthawk is seriously lacking now. I have the Sagemcom on channel 6 and the Nighthawk on channel 11 so they don't interfere with each other. I have a 300Mbps service with Spectrum. Could it be the fact that I'm using a 50' ethernet cable to connect the Nighthawk to the Sagemcom? I'm not too tech savvy when it comes to networking. So any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments] |
Can someone please help me understand why an external HD is mounting as a USB modem?? Posted: 21 Apr 2018 11:23 PM PDT Like the title says... Connected to my ISP provided Hitron modem I have an ASUS RT-AC1900 as my main router. I have two g technology drives that I am trying to use as NAS. One of the drives mounts as it should and accessible from web. The other when connected to the ASUS is mounted as a USB modem (no other options) and actually works as a failover for dual WAN. Again this is just an external drive... it has no onboard networking capabilities that I'm aware of yet it mounts and operates as such. Why? Here is a pic of my Asus ip config page showing the usb 2.0 external and the USB modem. Thank for the help! [link] [comments] |

Wired 100 mbit/s or Wireless 150 mbit/s Posted: 22 Apr 2018 12:22 AM PDT So the other day I got a new internet plan which includes 150 mbit/s down. I decided I would wire some devices in my home. All ethernets in my walls running into ethernet ports are cat 5e except the one in my room, it is cat 5. This means I can only achieve a wired speed of 100 mbit/s, while a speed of roughly 150 mbit/s (inconsistent) can be reached through a wireless connection. My wireless signal strength is 90-95%. For my Xbox which is used for gaming and downloading updates: Would it be better to get a consistent 100 mbit/s and low latency of around 30ms or 150 mbit/s (can dip to as low as 50 sometimes) and a decent latency of sub 50ms? Thanks for any suggestions EDIT: From your suggestions, it seems I may have made a mistake somewhere when crimping the wire and/or connecting the line to the keystone jack in the wall. If it doesn't get fixed, I suppose I'll go wired anyways. SOLUTION: Using my cable tester if I only plug the cable into the tester on both ends, all 8 lights come up (8 wires). If I plug one end into the modem, something I never did before, and one end into the tester, the first light does not light up (1 wire is not running a signal). This makes me believe it was a bad termination as suggested by some of you. I am now getting 150 down and 15 up with about 25 ping. I redid the key stone jack in the wall. [link] [comments] |
LF a router for my 400sq ft apartment Posted: 22 Apr 2018 07:23 AM PDT Hello everyone. I live in a small 400 sq ft apartment and my current router's speed way below my internet plan's. I am paying for 1000MB/s and I usually use it for gaming. My biggest issue is that having wires around my tiny apartment is impossible to manage so I use wifi on all my devices. Please recommend me some routers that can suit my needs. If possible please recommend me a couple of good wifi range extenders as well that has LAN ports. Thanks and sorry if this post was not too clear. [link] [comments] |
