Thank you very much

Port forward not recommended? So it is not safe to perform port forward to allow my friends to join my server in online game (eg. Team Fortress 2) even if I do it with my router? Anyway, I already ordered the switch. Thank you for your recommendation

Recommend a virtual lan software call "Zerotier".
Every player pc install zerotier and join the same network,and might need to set the metric value as "1".
And all player in the network will be able to access your server without expose to public network. (Either by ip or browse Lan network browser)
But this will not works for public access,as it will only show as Lan network,but public server list will not as no port forward set up.

I use this for my personal access to all device that didn't have public ip access.
And i also used it to play warcraft 3 with my cousin. (Old version that support LAN access,similar to Garena Lan)

To be clear,this software have very strong method for go through nat network,so normally 95% of device will establish direct connectivity to other device on the same network without going through their relay server. (normally no addition latency if direct connect)
I not sure if go through their relay server will get what quality of connectivity.But i think just add some latency only,since they might have singapore or tokyo server as relay.

Port forwarding is done at the main router. The switch doesn't have to worry about it. Latency will increase since the traffic has to physically travel further but it'll be in the hundreds or thousands of a millisecond.

Thank you so much!! Learnt a lot of things these 2 days

lol, TM keep denying they offer this deal for customers.
I'm negotiating with TM right now.

You ordered the TL-SG108E? Have you confirmed that the Asus is able to do the VLAN trunk?

what is their term and condition?

this promo really good deal by paying for rm79 for 100mbps

I'm not sure what is their TnC, but they secretly offer this kind of deal for the selected customers is indeed an unfair practice.
If they are secretly offering this kind deal, I want the same, if not will move forward to file another report.
They are checking with the manager, will get back to me on Monday.

Very likely the promo price is valid for a limited time. Maybe 1 or 2 years?

Based on my limited knowledge on networking, I supposed my Asus router can't according to this post?
I better cancel my order now. Thanks for the reminder. It seems like vlan trunking is proprietary to cisco according to my research 🤔

If I remember correctly, Asus' stock firmware doesn't allow for scripts. With a 3rd party firmware you can run scripts and enable multiple custom VLANs and much more

I am still too noob for custom firmware. I will use stock firmware for a few month first before venture into this. Thanks for the info nonetheless =)

The price is very okay.. maintain it
Now no more 500mbps plan been offered, max now is only 300.

Hi guys got a question about netflix,

since i disabled ipv6 my netflix has been lagging after 8PM

Is this normal? does ipv6 actually affect netflix speeds? fast.com shows 500mbps and youtube 4k loads no problem

Hi, I forgot whether Huawei onu Auth led should light on or not. Mine is not lighting up. The internet is disconnecting every one-two hours and I wonder it’s related to this Auth led light.

Thanks

IPv4 and IPv6 using different routing.Seems like your area network overloaded.Netflix got cache server in malaysia,so normal situation will not having any problem.Unless their global server down.
Try reboot router.

Just re enable your IPv6 back.

I can't help much with Asus but VLAN trunking is just another aspect of networking. Not proprietary to Cisco. Any router can do it. However consumer models may not have that feature implemented and/or exposed to the user in the web config. Understandable since few people would need such a feature.

Is there really a point of getting 500mbps a month? Since download speed can only reach 10mpb/s

For heavy downloader, more speed will be happy and easy to save more time.
But of course harddisk also need to big enough for storing data.

For me i have 800mbps plan but usually use on sunday night to download running man,and most usage for research network and speed test to worldwide server for seeing which server is better for unifi for future use.
