I just purchased this router. Got it up and running yesterday. Thank goodness it was pretty easy even for a dummy like me. But I do not know how use any of the bonus features of this router. I can see all my devices when connected....that is great. And I found a traffic analyzer was included. Beyond that I am pretty clueless. Thank goodness it seems to work well without any input from me. LOL I am wondering do I need to install any software to expand the abilities of this router?
I like that. All I need do is get one of the Asus models with the Traffic Analyzer feature and I would have everything I would ever want without the need to check the "Merlin List". I had a couple of them in my hands today but lacked the time for study.
I posted my all devices list before instead of the active list. Heck, these routers have so much info I still get confused where things are at even though had mine for quite awhile. Like Gwalk says, I'm old.
ok BirdDog. Got the lan set up...yes manual was enabled. Is there any advantage in assigning an IP address to a device? Will go look at my devices now to see if they are 5GHZ capable. Thank much. There is so much to learn!
GW, that makes sense. I'm having issues with my wireless security camera. It was set up with a wired connection. Then moved to remote location. Wonder if that is why the IP address was static? Slowly I'm learning. I've had routers for years...but never have looked into WHY they work. LOL
BirdDog, Now that makes a lot of sense to me. The ip address is always changing on the cameras for some reason. Maybe I will just let it choose an address them assign that number to it manually. Sorry about the static thing....let me know what you find out. LOL
This what mine looks like right now. Though all the gobbldegook has a funny way of saying it, the thing is a laser printer connected by ethernet. The address of 192.168.1.102 is set inside the printer and locked in.
