I'm not savvy enough to know what "bufferbloat" is
I'm not savvy enough to know what "bufferbloat" is, but I have been having a HORRIBLE time gaming with this router. I have Frontier Fiber FiOS at 2 gigabit speed, and have to literally reboot the router mid-sessions almost EVERY time I play an online game like ARC Raiders, Fortnite, Helldivers 2 or other multiplayer online game. I'm using a PS5 Pro plugged directly into an ethernet port on the router (no wireless ever) using a top-end 3ft cable from Infinite Cable, have set up on the PS5 Pro to use the CloudFlare DNS on the PS5's advanced network settings, assigned the PS5 a pre-set IP address and put that IP address in for the DMZ, turned off QoS, IPv6, and still am having network-wide crashes where every device - including things like family iOS devices - losing access to things like Facebook and YouTube which - again - requires a full router restart. I have the latest publicly available version of the firmware as well and it has not helped any. This is insane that a $600 router is this unreliable.Having Problems with OpenVPN for Mac
I recently upgraded my ASUS router to a Netgear RS700. I configured the OpenVPN service to TUN mode on UDP port 12973 and TAP mode on 12974. Clients will use VPN to connect to the internet and the home network. I also configured a DDNS service with no IP. My Mac's IP address is static. I tried TunnelBlick, and it seems to connect. I've never used Tunnelblick before, but I see a pop-up showing some sort of communication between the server and the client. When I use OpenVPN, it just refuses to connect. I downloaded the smartphone configuration file, and it still doesn't connect. Did I miss anything? Any ports that need to be forwarded that I missed? I desperately need help because I help my wife with her college courses remotely. Now that I have a new router, I need OpenVPN to work. She is out of state and not very computer-savvy, and can't get her to install Tunnelblick or add the configuration file. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
