after i set up my router i block all new connections unless device has a pin + right vlan XD. To login router must have a yubikey connects to the usb port XD. Also have geo block so i block 4 countries in case.

Any way that you could show us how to do this on different firmwares like DD-WRT and Tomato? While TP-Link WAS a decent brand, recent scrutiny into their connection to the CCP and potential government back-doors, and banning is concerning.

My network is wired, nothing is wireless, . I use wired phones never a cell phone at home.

TP link is not a secure router.

Why is my pc auto set the limit to 100 Mb/s anyway when there is a 1000 Mb/s option, my upload/download speed went from 90 Mb/s to 350 Mb/s. If anyone know why pls tell me

What if you have a guest that is untrusted on your guest Network? Is there a way to log everything they're doing?

Seems to me that older printers get hooked up with ethernet. I'm trying to hook up a new computer that does not have ethernet but USB and hdmi. My printer only has ethernet. Having trouble figuring this out.

You can also get an outdoor ext antenna, and that might help the most.

I am 100% convinced that his head is superimposed over somebody else's body. You don't even have to look closely to see that it doesn't match

I thought the router was the modem , the incoming house phone line connects to the WAN then the router gives you a wired or wireless option to connect your devices.

A suggestion: I created a QR code for our network with its password. I also have a receptacle with a USB port in each guest bedroom, along with a recharging cable that terminates in USB-C, microUSB, and lightning connectors for their convenience, and left a small slip of paper with that QR code on the bedside table for them to use to access our WiFI.

thanks for the help but BRO! its been five minutes and you're still on the porch

Our router has a built-in automatic reboot setting that can be used to schedule the router for an automatic reboot. I have ours set to reboot every day at 3am - when usually aren't using the network. I have seen a few instances where restarting the router alone doesn't resolve a WiFI problem. Spoke with a service tech from our ISP who said that he had also seen that happen, and suspected that when the router restarted, it failed to connect with the modem. He suggested that restarting both at the same time might get around that issue. So I set up our system with a power strip that serves both the ISPs modem and the router. If restarting the router doesn't resolve the problem, I then flip the switch on the power strip, wait a few moments, and then flip it back to reboot everything.

Sounds good - except what do you do if the performance of the device is less than what the manufacturer's spec calls for? I have a TP-Link Ax3000 router that is supposedly capable of delivering 1gBps. I know that our ISP is delivering 500-600 mBps, but our WiFi maxes out around 90mBps. And when I look at the router settings, I see that the the WAN input is set at 100mBps. The key word here is 'set' because it is supposed to be possible to change the setting, but in fact that isn't possible. I've spoken to TP-Link about this and they are baffled, but because the router is out of warranty, they won't do anything. So the bottom line is the input to the router is arbitrarily throttling the speed the we are getting. The obvious solution is to buy a new router, but I've only had this one for about three years, and frankly, at this point 90mBps is probably good enough.

As a power engineer, I have a problem with your power plant analogy. Power plants always GENERATE only enough power to meet the current demand - and the laws of physics actually limit GENERATION to always exactly demand. CAPACITY must match peak demand. GENERATION and CAPACITY are totally different things. That said, great presentation. I think the key takeaway is that ISP sales people always try to convince consumers that 'more' equates with 'better'. Your message is that there is a third level - 'enough'.

An observation; when I went through the process of scanning for connections, I noted that connections can be dynamic, and at any given time there can be devices that are known to exist but that can be temporarily off-line. For example, my Fire Tablet may be connected, or not, depending on whether it is being used or is in sleep mode. Add to that the fact that some devices have names that aren't sensible, and some are totally anonymous, and the result is that the list of connected devices will change with time.

You can also connect USB 3/4/5G stick to it... Tested and in use.

How about setting mac address filter 😊, that way only the white-listed mac addresses are allowed to join the network

These are pretty basic, and already pretty well known, ideas. If the port is USB 3.0 or above, many support a USB NIC for link aggregation. Also, rather than just "put files on a USB stick" you can connect a large external drive for an easy and cheap NAS. Additionally, you can simply use it as a power source. Maybe you want to run a PiHole on a Pi Zero or something; you can simply power it directly from the router, where you're already connecting it for data, and have the entire thing localized. If you have a supported model, you can use the port to flash to an open source firmware, unlocking many features most consumer routers limit to their "enterprise" models. With said firmware, on some models you can use the USB port as an over the network extension cable.

Best home router i ever had was the WD my net central 900 2TB. Such a shame they discontinued it.

I play my PS2 games from a hard drive connected to my router via SMB.

👍👍👍ur the best

I gave myself £1 for every usb port mention

how can i use my router for file shareing from anywhere (as cloud) thanks!

Very informative!!!

"legally downloaded movies, of course"

I wonder if I can run my magic jack on that usb port. Im tslking about the computer type. Before magic jack computerless kind. just a thought. voip is becoming a come back with security issues with cell phones. 73

How is my husband playing his on voice overs in background of movies and tv shows at the same time as the show background sound? Please can anyone explain this to me.

you cant masturbate into the usb port, the router will stop working (for unknown reasons)

You might want to look into getting rid of that tp-link made in China Just saying

Just trying to be helpful here. It seemed like every sentence you spoke ended with the same voice tone which for me became a distraction and made it difficult to keep listening. It's like a song where every line ends with the same few notes even though the words are different. Your content is great so this one change would make your videos amazing!

I have 1000up/1000down and bought a new ethernet cable and the moment i plug it into the router and to my pc i got the 100mbps cap. I have Auto Negotiation as my Speed & Duplex too.

Some items in my home will only work with 2.4 Wi Fi, can I change my 5 ghz wi Fi to 2.4 through my router by going through the usb. Thanks much

Go to the maker’s channel for a how-to video. YT keeps deleting my comment. FYT!!!

Crazy useful

can you add and delete file via the PC

I used it to power a fan. Most ISP routers overheat.

My router from youfibre has no extra ports on it but it does have lots of flashing lights on it.

My router is correctly pronounced. 😁

My Asus router has a USB3 port. I have connected a Samsung T5 SSD filled with movies and TV shows. I run a NAS on the cheap using Roku media player over my network.

Thank you for showing me how to find the USB port and what it looks like.. 🙏

Could the USB port be used to communicate with the router using SPI or UART? Use of a USB to TTY adapter etc.

This gorgeous and handsome young man can fix my internet needs anytime 😍😍😍😍😍

You're much too animated for me to watch.... arm and hands flailing about with every word and syllable is not fun to watch especially coming from a male.

If your router doesn't have a USB connector, you may be able to connect one internally.

Some necessary additions: to access the folders/files internally/in your LAN only, didn't your Windows OS needs to activate the Samba features?! And, you can also access the folders/files in your LAN, not necessarily typing the TP-Link suffix, but by typing the router's configurations IP, instead. And, since you can individually give access to different folders and files I don't see any reason - which somehow defies the purpose of sharing an external storage attached to the router's USB port - to set access from the Internet, as well, that being doable by activating the remote administration to your router and setting that of accessing it remotely to the "https" feature! Then again some other very important feature that these USB ports provided with is for using them for Internet connection is Tethering a mobile Internet connection being leastwise as important like all other features!

What about adding an external SSD and access it from all permitted users.

Bad actor? Why don’t we leave OJ Simpson out of this, shall we?

Very useful! Would appreciate a video on whether and when a router/modem combo makes sense.
