QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Jun 23 2019, 01:09 AM) Tried playing around, same result, can't detect any WAN. In Dual WAN, set the Primary WAN to Ethernet LAN then Secondary WAN to WAN as per the screenshot belowDidn't expect my ws880 to die in less than 3 years.   Then in IPTV, you need to configure the VLAN 500 to Ethernet Port 1. Sorry I can't share screenshot in here because I don't want to submit the change to my router |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jun 24 2019, 06:50 PM) Yeap, saw that too Ya, and BCM4709A cpu is kinda out dated, struggles while running 800mbps download, MT7621 perform better in handling gigabit speedAnd with that kind of design, it's hard to mount a fan as the exhaust holes is at the top I ran speedtest and pingportal at the same time, monitor ping while downloading and uploading speed test CPU Ping(+download)(+upload) MT7621 3ms(9ms) (15ms) BCM4708 3ms(14ms) (24ms) Also, MT7621 can hit max download speed within a second, 0% CPU usage. 4708 can only hit max speed after 3 seconds, like climbing hill, slowly increase speed, 100% CPU usage 4708/4709 was once a high-end CPU, but now MT7621 is newer and cooler, with many accelerators, better for handling gigabit speed This post has been edited by heidarren: Jun 24 2019, 07:13 PM |

QUOTE(alfiejr @ Jan 14 2020, 10:45 AM) sHawTY Sell your WS880 for cheap then get a used RT-AC68U/RT-AC87U/RT-AC88U from Taobao insteadIf anyone can reupload the bin file and the Cfeedit file would be greatly appreciated XWRT-VORTEX no longer supports WS880. You will be stuck with an outdated firmware with bugs & security hole You may say "it's fine even if I use outdated firmware" now but if one day someone managed to hack into your network & siphon your data then that will be the day you regret the bad decision you make today |
