So far it's been working great. All I changed from the default settings was VLAN tagging on the WAN port, and some kid control to set windows of time for allowed use of the Internet. It's able to keep up with the 1gbps fiber connection. RouterOS is ok. The UI works for most things but...

I ended up buying a Mikrotik hex to handle VLAN tagging, NAT, firewall, etc, and put the nighthawk into AP mode. Netgear formally confirmed they don't support VLAN tagging on the WAN port. I didn't want to use the existing device as a router because it lacks family controls. I decided to not...

Looking at the tech specs and user manual for Asus' main wifi6E router (GT-AXE16000) and there is no mention of VLAN support at all. *Edit* I see they released a beta firmware in March that supports VLANs, but that's not enough to justify a $250 jump in price over what I have now. I'm looking...

Hello, I'm trying to upgrade my local network to wifi6e and to do that bought a Nighthawk RAXE300. While setting it up, to my surprise, the ISP here (Quantum, formerly CenturyLink) required VLAN tagging to connect to their fiber device. The RAXE300 does support VLAN tagging, but it seems to...

What are you all doing to keep your system safe? My employer loads Microsoft Defender onto MacOS but I'm curious what y'all are using.

For me it’s the touch pad. Until 2010 I wouldn’t use a laptop without a mouse because the touch pads were trash. The IBM nub wasn’t terrible, but only Mac had a decent way to control your UI with a touch pad. The multi finger gestures in combination with keyboard shortcuts are great. Plus I...

Been away for a long time and thinking about building a new PC in a few months. What are your trusted sources for reviews now that HardOCP is no more?

It looks like that card has two DVI ports, an HDMI, and a displayport. As I recall, for 2560x1600 you need to use both DVI ports, right? Isn't HDMI limited to 1080p resolution as in won't support 1920x1200? Can displayport support two monitors at 1900x1200? Also - the 680 is a bit steep. I...

Hey guys been a while since I've posted on these forums and I've been out of the system building practice for a while so I don't know what's possible these days with modern hardware. Anyway - what I'm interested in setting up is a 3 display workstation connected to a SFF case. One 30" in the...

You can still get it here for $250: http://www.techtoysshop.com/product_info.php?product_id=4282 Interestingly they have a link to buy from Amazon for $229 but when you click it, it shows as $299.

Showing as $299 for me. Am I missing something?

It's a good thing this forum has the ability to search: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1035569644&postcount=1147 No need to read the whole thing. It sounds like you can hook up an xbox 360 but it will not display 1:1 and will stretch the screen a bit. Sucks imo. But I do love my ZR24w!

BTW the media server is a CM404, so no way you can install anything like orb on it. From what I can tell it's just SMB and NFS.

Yeah I hate the idea of opening up SMB to the Internet. VPN sounds like a good idea. My only concern with that is ease of use. To clarify, this isn't really for me. This is for a friend, who is somewhat tech savvy, but not nearly as much as me. And I think his friends are probably even less...

It's been a while since I've looked into this but I'd like to share my media (music/movies/etc) with friends/family over the Internet. As I recall most of the solutions that do this, such as Orb, do so via streaming. I'm not really interested in streaming technologies but more something like...
