| How do I reflash an Asus RT-AC68U from Tomato to Merlin? Posted: 03 Mar 2019 06:53 PM PST I've been running an Asus RT-AC68U (originally TM-AC1900) on Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 -3.5-140 K26ARM USB AIO-64K but would like to reflash with the latest Merlin firmware since Tomato hasn't been updated in ages. I did delete the Tmobile partition. I DL's the .trx and tried to use Administration>Upgrade from within tomato to point to the new file, but I got the following error: /tmp/flashHIvsb2: Bad trx header How do I flash merlin?

| AT&T removed delegated IPv6 addresses from RG's and broke self managed IPv6 Posted: 03 Mar 2019 07:52 AM PST Two weeks ago both my home and a friends house lost their delegated IPv6 address on our AT&T Uverse RG. Looks like AT&T pulled the plug on the delegated addresses unless you pay for enterprise. So now I am stuck with a /64 address range that is managed by their RG vs using my router. Most routers support IPv6 passthrough but I don't want AT&T having the abilty to "probe" my network and broadcast their DNS services into my network. I have tried various manual configurations on my Netgear router to "subnet" this block of addresses and still allow routing and nothing. For example I set the wan port of my router to /120 and the internal lan port to subnet to /112 and used IPv6 DHCP to assign addresses vs. SLACC. When doing this everything works great internally for IPv6 but cannot route out to AT&T. Any recommendations that can trick AT&T RG to forward all traffic to my router like they have for DMZPlus mode for IPv4? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2019 06:28 PM PST I just purchased a house and am confused about some of the network wiring. At first look I thought that the house was wired for internet but when I searched for a switch panel I couldn't find one. Are those wires cable and voice lines? How can I determine if the cat5e cables are hooked up somewhere? Should I try pulling one of the panels out of the wall? [link] [comments]  |
| Feeding Ethernet cable from basement to 2nd floor Posted: 03 Mar 2019 02:56 PM PST Looking for some suggestions and help, I know this is hard to ask but I'm going to try anyway. So my basement is unfinished but I live in a 2 story home, I want to run an Ethernet cable from the basement to main floor and another Ethernet from basement to 2nd floor. Getting it to the main floor is easy but it's the 2nd floor I'm stumped how to get a wire up? Anyone have suggestions , I know it's vague and hard to give suggestions when you can't see what I'm working with but it's a new home, Unfinished basement and I have some TV cable lines up on the 2nd floor that go to the basement but no idea if those are clamped anywhere along the way behind the drywall. I figured I have to open drywall a little bit but hoping I can do it with minimal damage. [link] [comments]  |
| How to make all ethernet cables in walls live Posted: 03 Mar 2019 02:38 PM PST Had this post in the wrong section and I was told to move it. Hi, Everyone. Don't know much about home networking besides hooking up a modem and router and expecting it to work good. I have 4 wall ports (marked cat5e) in my house that attach to a channel vision c0214 located in my basement in the metal box. I no longer have a house phone. I've read a little and found out the channel vision c0214 is only for phone. So I know I'd need to switch it out. I've verified the ethernet cables running to the basement are cat5e cables and already have there connectors on the ends. After reading, do I need to switch out the channel vision for an ethernet hub? My main goal is to make all the cat5e ports in the walls live. My computer is upstairs with my modem and router close by. I'd like to move the router downstairs to the main floor since most if the wifi needs are there, while the computer and modem stay on the 2nd floor. Is this possible? Thanks everyone [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2019 07:12 PM PST I am looking for recommendations for a new AP for my home. My home is approximately 2000SF. We do a lot of streaming and some video gaming. Coverage outside the home in our small yard would great as well. Thank You! [link] [comments]  |
| Currently router on a stick want to go smarter Posted: 03 Mar 2019 07:10 PM PST So currently I have a few VLANs configured in PFSense with their own DHCP. For the point of this discussion let's say I have VLAN 20 which is my "trusted" network and "30" which is storage. Right now there is an application on VLAN 20 that dumps to 30 which is absolutely saturating my gig connection, which stalls out my internet. Is it possible to keep the router on a stick configuration and just do a point to point route on the SG300 between 2 IPs? Or will I have to go full L3 routing on the SG300? I like the control of the router on a stick, it's just this one chatty application brings the network to it's knees thanks to snort. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for an upgrade from my old Asus RT-N66U Posted: 03 Mar 2019 06:59 PM PST I've been rocking my Asus RT-N66U for a couple of years now. It's been a great router overall, but my wife and I are planning to give it away to her family, so we're looking for a new router to replace our current one. I'm looking at the Asus RT-AC88U, but I wanted to ask around if it might be too overkill for our use-case. Here's some rough information on our setup:
I'm open to buying other brands, but I've always had the best experience with Asus routers. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2019 02:02 PM PST I want to put wired ports in my home. I will put the router and a switch in the downstairs closet and run 4 lines each to 2 downstairs rooms. I also want to run lines upstairs, but that requires going through the garage and up into the attic (about 50 feet of cable). 5 rooms upstairs, each to get at least 2 lines. Is there a difference between these two options:
Option 1 saves me about 500 feet of cable (one line splitting into many in the attic versus a whole bunch of separate lines). Seems like it shouldn't make a difference, because either way, the lines from the router get split by a switch, the only question is how far away that switch is and whether I buy one big switch or two medium ones. Thinking of using cat6, if that makes any difference. Downstairs has tv and pc, upstairs has tv, pc, and gaming consoles. I will have to add a power outlet near the attic switch if I go option 1. I can make the second switch slightly more accessible by putting it in the garage instead of the attic. Now that I write this all out it seems like a dumb question and option 1 is the way to go, but is there anything I'm missing since I've never done this before? [link] [comments]  |
| Files Not Downloading Completely Posted: 03 Mar 2019 04:28 PM PST Hey guys, first time posting here. So I have an interesting issue and I'm not sure if it's on my end or somewhere else. I am using a Netgear R6400 router with an external hard drive connected directly to it. I went through the steps of setting up a No-Ip hostname to trace directly to my external drive. I can access the drive just fine over https and browse my files. I have no problem downloading smaller files completely, but for some reason my larger files will stop downloading early. For example, I have a season of Shameless stored on my hard drive. When I try to download any of the episodes, it will end at a seemingly random file size and my computer will say that the file is done downloading. I've seen it stop at anywhere between ~50MB and ~200MB. At first, I thought that this could possibly be a Google Chrome issue so I then tried using Safari instead and the same thing continues to happen. I have no idea how to go about even troubleshooting this so I was hoping that maybe somebody here could point me in the right direction. I am on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3, although I don't think that this matters. Anybody have any idea what could be happening here? Please let me know if I should include more details or info. Thanks!

| Posted: 03 Mar 2019 08:06 PM PST Hey everyone, I'm looking to speed up access to my home server and need a bit of help. I have 4 ethernet ports (100mb) I'm looking to bond together and connect to a single ethernet port (1gb) on my router. My server is running ubuntu but I'm mostly confused by the hardware side. Do I need a switch that supports link aggregation? If so, any recommendations? If anyone knows of some reading material related to this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2019 03:47 PM PST Recently I came across Xwrt-Vortex the ASUS port. I am very familiar with DDWRT and wondered it compares? Does anyone have any thoughts? Is it worth building? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2019 07:07 PM PST A little background: my house came with the network "built in" from when I bought it. It's the Lennar Connected home. This means that Amazon came out and installed a Brocade switch and hooked it all up for me, with two access points. I just built a media server, it's just an Ubuntu box, for streaming Plex to my televisions around the house. I wanted to start diving deeper into this, installing other services and I'm trying to create a reverse proxy. Step one here is I need to get NGINX working. I've been trying like hell, and no matter what, I can't seem to access my server. I've tried from within the network just using my public ip:80, I've tried my domain which is pointed to my IP:80 and I've tried using my no-ip.com domain name as well. All of these time out. I'm using a Centurylink Zyxel C3000Z. I've port forwarded TCP 443 and TCP 80 to the IP of my media server. I can't tell if the Brocade switch is messing anything up, but I've looked through every single setting and it doesn't look like there's any port forwarding set up in there at all (I really don't know much about this switch nor the access points). Would love any help. [link] [comments]  |

| Google WiFi with a Huawei B525 4G router Posted: 03 Mar 2019 06:25 PM PST Trying to figure out my setup when we move to the UK. Where we're going has lousy broadband so I'm think a 4g router would be better. Can you pair these two? Or maybe it doesn't make any sense but I hear good things about Google WiFi. The house is about 1100 sq ft on two floors. [link] [comments]  |
| Phone Recognizes a Roku device that I do not own. Posted: 03 Mar 2019 04:13 PM PST Hey all, I'm not sure if this is even the right sub to post on so just point me in the right direction if it isn't. I was about to stream a video from the Youtube app on my S9 when I saw a Roku TV option. I don't own a Roku device and neither does anyone in my family. Is there a way I can find out if someone has connected their device to my network? [link] [comments]  |
| Home network IP changed from 192.168.0.xxx to 192.168.68.xxx? Posted: 03 Mar 2019 03:56 AM PST Hi Guys! Admittedly I'm fairly tech savvy only I'm not really into the whole networking of things. My main problem is that I have NAS with various services (like transmission, kodi etc.) Running that depend on each other through ip addresses in communication. Also I am reaching the web interfaces of all these services through 192.168.0.xxx. So yesterday my TPlink Deco m9 prompted me with an update, which I accepted, and now all my networkdecices are changed to 192.168.68.xxx instead if 0.xxx. How and why did this happen? I have a lot of devices I'd need do redirect, which is tedious but not the end of the world, but I'd rather somebody could explain what and why this happened so I can avoid this in te future. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Firewall broke my net connection Posted: 03 Mar 2019 03:51 PM PST I was using a program called PrivWin 10 or something like that. Its a private Windows 10 firewall. It worked great for a while, but suddenly stopped opening up. It works when it isn't open. Problem is there isn't an uninstall option and I had it set to whitelist.. so no new connections have been able to get through. I've tried troubleshooting why it suddenly quit working. I guess I did something to my PC, I'm not sure. I tried going into the registry and deleting entries, restoring windows firewall to default. All this did was break my connection to where I can't even connect to the internet now. Learned my lesson on using a program that doesn't properly "install", but can anyone help me completely remove it so my net can function again? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2019 09:31 PM PST Hi, I have a 4Mbps ADSL2+ line in my home (which is a big deal depending on where I live), a 300Mbps D-link Router and a 60 Meters (65 yards) cable from the phone cabin to where the router is, so up until 2 weeks ago, everything was OK, Attenuation Down Stream was 30 and up stream was 25, SNR margin for downstream was 17 when the electric power was off and 10 when it was on (we are used to getting more noise when power is on, it's everywhere), but recently, the line is kinda having some issues, The router connects as usual, and then after a couple of hours, SNR margin starts to drop till it gets to 6 or 5 and then it disconnects, and when it reconnects it gives me 3Mbps (which is still OK), but it keeps disconnecting and giving me slower speeds until it becomes somewhat stable somewhere around 1.5Mbps (sometimes less than 1Mbps), with SNR margin of 6 for both up and down. when I pick up the phone (which is connected through a filter) I hear so much noise when the speed is at it's worse, and I get Attenuation Down Stream around 40 and upstream around 32 then. keep in mind that I have an aluminum wire that connects the cabin to the router, and it is now a year old, and we kinda have a rainy weather in these days, but the noise isn't related to the rain or the wind, sometimes I get a noisy line without rain or wind. here is what I have tried so far: 1- examined the wire where I can examine it, and removed some of it's damage that has happened because of the friction against some walls over the past year. 2- connected the line to the router directly without any filters or phones. 3- tried different routers. if the problem is from the wire, then why does it give me good speeds sometimes all of a sudden? and since I can replace the wire with a proper copper one (but it does cost me some money), should I consider that? or should I try something else? any help is appreciated, this thing has been driving me crazy, By the way I am a medical doctor so I don't really know if any of the above makes sense :D, but here is why I am here asking you guys what I should do. and sorry for my English, it is my second language. Thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Comcast says my modem needs updating Posted: 03 Mar 2019 03:06 PM PST Hi, my dad is having trouble with his download speed. Recently he upgraded the internet service from 60mps to 150mps. He did a speed test and is only getting 70mps. He called Comcast and said he needs to contact Motorola to update his modem software? He's had this modem for 5 years (model motorola sb 6121) why isn't he getting the 150mps? [link] [comments]  |
| Internet through home telephone lines? Posted: 03 Mar 2019 02:46 PM PST I'm trying to get internet to a garage behind our house. The router is about 60ft away and the garage is about 30ft away from the edge of the home. Originally I was thinking of a bridge with the TP-Link cpe210, but I realized we have a phone line ran to the back. Is it possible to get internet through phone lines, similar to power line Ethernet? Edit: just want to acknowledge that I know this could be a stupid question. [link] [comments]  |
| TPL-408e Powerline not remaining synced Posted: 03 Mar 2019 02:38 PM PST I have been using the TPL-408e Powerline for years and never had any trouble. I live on the top floor of my house at uni so wifi signal is incredibly weak hence the need for the power line. I went home for the weekend and wet I came back the power lines were no longer synced. I tried syncing them and had no luck, I unplugged one and plugged it in near the other power line and tried again. Success, they synced just fine. So I unplugged it and plugged it back in near my device upstair and it was no longer synced. I have tried this multiple times, factory reset, every reset the manual suggests and nothing is keeping them synced. There is a utility program but it is windows only so I cannot open it on my macbook and my PC can't connect to the internet to download it and check it out. Any suggestions or anyone experienced a similar issue with power lines? [link] [comments]  |
