  1. I really enjoyed the Roast but again a lot of drop outs. Worst thing was I was using a chrome cast and it kept kinda like repeating itself then catching up once it got going again missing about 2 ~ 3 seconds at a time. Live in Aus with there awsome 100/50 NBN plan.

    Hi LMG forum buddies,

    I have a QNAP TS-212 NAS and I’m trying to figure out what architecture the cpu is so I can install a version of Twonky that’s not supported factory anymore.

    So far I’ve found out it’s a Marvell 6282 series but can’t find any more info

    I need to know where it fits in this list

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Also, have this issue of needing an external WAN IP (See Pic)

    I have set up a few networks with the ISP modem router used as just the modem and a nice Wifi router for the main network.

     

    To give me an idea of how much you know about networking (so that I can give advice at the correct technical level) can you answer the following questions.

    • Do you know what IPv4 addresses are and the basics of using them?  
    • Do you know what a sub net is? (sub net mask)
    • Do you know what a router is? yes
    • Do you know what a modem is?
    • Do you know what a DHCP server is?
    • Do you know what a DNS server is?
    • Do you know what a gateway is?

    If you answered no to most of the above or you just want better Wifi coverage/speed you probably want to just set up the modem the way the ISP tells you to and the connect the  Asus RT-AC5300 as just a wifi AP (Access Point Mode page 89 of the manual). If you answered yes to most of the above or if you want to use some of the fancy functions of the Asus RT-AC53000 then I can try and talk you through configuring a more complicated setup.

     

    IPv4 address: very basic knowledge. Is assisned to each individual device connected to your network? not too sure?

    Sub Net: very basic knowledge. for routing traffic? again not sure 

    Router: Yes. Device for connecting your devices to either by wi-fi or ethernet

    Modem: Yes. Connects to isp for internet access

    DHCP server: kinda creates/ assigns the ip address for each device

    DNS: I know what it is but thats about it

    Gateway: not really

     

    Im willing to learn if your willing to teach.

  6. Hi LTT lads & Ladies,

     

    First post long time viewer.

     

    I've been having issues with my network setup for some time now and it just got to the point I just don't have a clue what to do next.

     

    When we moved into our house (Renting) we had to get NBN installed due to the copper lines being cut. The ISP sent us one of their provided routers (AudioCodes MP264) which worked fine but had a poor signal when outside (not even 50ft from the router).

     

    I looked around and decided on the Asus RT-AC5300 as a replacement as I thought it was NBN ready? 

    Upon setting it up I would only get about at best half the bandwidth available (100/50 connection) and could not for the life of me figure out the VOIP.

    After a quite a few calls to the ISP, they pretty much gave me little to no help in regards to setting it up due to it not being their own router. So after a few days of mucking around, I decided to use the ISP router as a modem and connect my Asus router as an access point. (ISP router Wi-Fi turned off). This worked well for a few months then all of a sudden my connected devices on the 2.4 GHz band just started disappearing from the devices menu on the Asus router (would show on initial login then just disappear off the device list) but still showing on the ISP router.

     

    What I mean about them disappearing is they were connected to the Wi-FI but not discoverable i.e. smart TVs, Wi-Fi printer, Raspberry pi. They still had working internet connection on their end.

     

    So to combat this I ended up having to disable the 2.4 GHz band on the Asus router and run them back off the ISP router. I spoke to quite a few techies in the local area and none of them had an Idea what was happening. I ended up taking the Asus router back to the place of purchase to have it checked and to also have the antennas looked at as there were a few looses ones. They couldn’t find an issue but replaced it as the loose antennas were an issue from the factory.

    Still, had the same issue.

     

    Last weekend I decided to turn off the Asus router as I only had 1 device attached (this laptop I’m currently using).

    So now I can't access the ISP router settings through its own Wi-Fi unless I connect up the Ethernet cable or log into it via the Asus router (See pic attached)

    I also have a NAS attached to the ISP router and can access it through windows but can't log into the Web browser unless I do the same above.

     

    I am at a loss as to what to do now as this is driving me up the wall.

     

    Side note: I purchased a CISCO SPA112 ATA for the VOIP setup to the Asus router.

                     ISP router has been reset to factory

                     current laptop has just had a clean install of windows 10.
