  1. How did you configure the ASUS router, as an AP? If so, can you now access the ISP router while being connected to the AP? And where is connected the IPTV cable decoder?
  2. What do you want to achieve exactly? If you're going to use this router as I described it, it will perform only as an access point, another device in your LAN, it won't have direct connection to the Internet and it's gonna use your ISP router as a gateway. If you want this ASUS router to be the central point of your network, you've got to connect the cable from the ISP router into the WAN port and: Disable firewall, DHCP server and WLAN on your ISP router If you have dynamic IP, select IP from the LAN subnet of your ISP router for the ASUS router and enable DMZ for this IP Configure your ASUS router. If you have dynamic IP, for the WAN port set the IP you chose in the previous step. If you have static IP, you should be able to simply configure WAN port with the same settings as the WAN port in your ISP router. In this case scenario, your ISP router will act only as a "modem", and your ASUS router will manage your whole network (including firewall, routing, etc.). If you will use ASUS router as AP, the 1Gbps connection will be only possible between devices connected to the switch of this router (other LAN ports), but the rest of the network will be limited to the 100Mbps link between both of your routers (and WLAN speed is another thing that will also depend on the specific scenario).
  3. You can just simply use this ASUS router (or almost any other so called wireless router) as a wireless access point and configure its WLAN settings separately. To do that, instead of plugging cable from your ISP stock router into WAN port, plug it into one of the LAN ports, set ASUS router IP to free IP address in your local network, disable DHCP server in this device and configure WLAN to your needs. Then you should be able to connect to this AP and have IP address assigned by the DHCP server of your main router.
  4. Hi guys! My name's Mike, I'm 20 and currently I live in Poland. In the daytime I work full time for one of the biggest insurance broking company in Poland as a developer/programmer and a network engineer, but also I've got my own business (at the moment providing small services, but I'm looking forward to grow it in the future). I came here because, huh, I just like LMG content. Even though Linus is not necessarily doing things the proper way, it's fun to watch their videos and relax. Maybe I'll be able to help some users in the forum, or support LMG with small contribution (it's not like it would make big difference for Linus, but hey! Intention is what counts and amount of positive small factors and supporters is what makes things big ). So, once again, hello everybody. It's nice to be there .
  5. Hi, It's true that you can customize it whatever way you want to do so, just like almost any other Linux distribution. But answer to your question isn't simple. Generally it depends on your specific configuration, and I assume that you want to craft the look of the GUI to your liking. It's not easy to create your very own styling of your GUI, because there are many items to be made for that. If you use some kind of WM, each one of them has its own way to configure it and change its look and behavior. If you use a DE like KDE or GNOME, you need to check out how to create a theme for one of them. In both cases there are different elements to be created or set. I'm talking for example about WM/DE theme, Qt/GTK+ theme, icons, cursors, etc. There are also a lot of ready to be used themes, icon packages and so on. You can find them on websites like DeviantArt or on one of those sites: https://www.gnome-look.org/ https://store.kde.org/ They contain free elements to customize appearance of the two leading desktop environments (though some of them are suitable for other DEs or WMs, like icons for example). I hope that I helped you at least a little bit
