Anybody has had any experience with running OPNSense as a firewall and dealing with bufferbloat issues, especially when it comes to IPTV. I have tried looking some more info related to Cake QoS within OPNSense but couldn't get much info really. This used to be less of a problem when I was running an Asus router on Asuswrt-Merlin which is a bummer as I much prefer a stronger firewall/router.]]> 0 Wifi extending Sun, 15 Oct 2023 12:49:39 +0000 https://www.techkings.org/threads/wifi-extending.170930/ 170930 invalid@example.com (liphook) liphook Hi, advice will be appreciated.

I live in a two storey house with solid brick walls, WiFi signal is good downstairs but is hit and miss upstairs.

I tried tp link WiFi extenders, but discovered that upstairs is on a different mains ring to downstairs, so they were no use.

Been with sky fttp now for about a year. Sky's router does a okay ISH job. But I've never had the actual 1gb speeds they always falling around 500mb or 600mb.

So I've decided to buy another router first I tried a Asus ac86u all okay got a bit more speed but still not quite what I was expecting.

I read that a WiFi 6 router may improve this and went looking for a second hand one as they seemed dear new.

Finally won a Netgear rax80 for £80 quid all set up really easy...

As you know I have your older Asus model no problem even connecting it to virmin hub 5 but still aint managed to get it going with my deco m4 mesh as access point. Problem will be on my side so woody and any other members any info help.
Basicly it was just to add vpn to router as not really possible on Deco M4 you can add L2TP on the deco but not ideal.]]> 19 Router Compatibility Wed, 26 Oct 2022 23:54:07 +0000 https://www.techkings.org/threads/router-compatibility.169097/ 169097 invalid@example.com (Kaspas4450) Kaspas4450 Hi Tekkers,

Basically my broadband is with Vermin, and I've been with them for a few years now. I used to have my router on the floor under a table, this has recently been placed behind my TV after getting a media wall, this tidys up all my cabling which is great.

Currently on VM broadband with hub 3. Medium sized hse, old school with brick walls.

Got issue with wifi not reaching the furthest away rooms from the router, or very poor wifi.

I have found the below two options, what do people think? The netgear one I think is the better as just uses the same wifi details as your router so you...
