How to set up wireless bridging on a Tenda router? Choosing the wrong two modes in universal bridge causes both screen casting and NAS to fail
Tenda's universal bridge offers two modes: WSP and universal repeater. If you choose the wrong one, you won't find the NAS for TV casting. I bridged the old AC10 to the AX12 to supplement the study signal and tested both modes. The entry path, IP changes, and the backend can't access solution are all here....

Is the built-in WiFi on the China Telecom optical modem sufficient? After testing for a month, these four types of people really don't need to buy a router
Broadband installers always say that optical modems with WiFi mean you don't need to buy a router. Is that true? I tested a one-bedroom room in a colleague's house for a month of naked travel: the living room had 295Mbps and 300M broadband, half of the bedroom dropped, and the tenth device started disconnecting when connected. For four types of people, there's really no need to buy it; for the other groups, buy early. I'll clearly explain the three ways to handle the light modem....

What does Router MTU mean? If you can't post WeChat images or some websites won't open no matter what, it's probably because the numbers aren't right
The router MTU is the maximum number of bytes a network packet can hold. Ethernet defaults to 1500, but dial-up internet requires 8 bytes, reducing the overhead to 1492. Typical symptoms of incorrect settings include instant text sending and spinning WeChat text, some websites failing to open, but everything else works fine. Using ping -f -l in three steps, you can measure the numbers you need to fill in at home....

How to choose a Xiaomi router channel? The automatic channel tripped in the middle of the night, and all the cameras on my vacuum cleaner went missing. 2.4G cameras were identified as 1, 6, and 11
The Xiaomi router channel defaults to automatic, but it switches to channel 12 at midnight. The old module of the vacuum camera only recognizes channels 1 to 11, so they all go offline together. 2.4G's thirteen channels only have 1, 6, and 11 channels that do not overlap; 5G avoids mid-segment DFS, and the fixed channel entry point is in the 31.1 web backend, which cannot be found in the Mijia app....

How do you log into the router backend with your phone at 192.168.1.1? No need to turn on the computer, just five steps inside, I'll step into two traps for you
The phone can fully access the 192.168.1.1 router's backend. It comes with a built-in browser and enters the full address in five steps. The first time, I typed the address into a search term, and a row of ad pages popped up, taking over half an hour to circle around me. How to choose between two paths, the difference between address bar and search box, what to do if the phone page is different from the computer—this article covers everything from start to finish....

192.168.0.1 Can't open or enter? Mercury Tengda backend couldn't log in, so I queued them one by one, and 90% of them were stuck in the first three mishaps
If you can't open 192.168.0.1, it's most likely not because the router is broken. I helped my neighbor fix the AX12 backend but couldn't get in, so I checked the bottom shell stickers, checked the real gateway, and listed the 169.254 self-rescue service one by one. Ninety percent of the issues were three blunders: remembering the address wrong, connecting to the wrong WiFi, and browser using the address....

What does the red light keep flashing when the optical modem LOS means? Facing PON lights, you can check in five steps and 90% of the time, without waiting for the technician to arrive
The red light flashing for the optical modem (LOS) is not due to unpaid bills, nor is it the router's fault. The PON and LOS lights are facing each other, and a single table distinguishes whether the registration is normal, the optical path is broken, or the data center side is disconnected. Check for dead bends, reconnect fiber optic plugs, disconnect and restart in three steps—self-check. If you encounter three hard wires, just call 10000. I've written all the repair scripts for you....

Is it worth installing Synology Virtual Machine VMM? I put a Windows machine in the DS920+, and I've counted all the memory and pitfalls for you
Is Synology VMM worth playing? I installed a Windows unit on the DS920+ for testing: only the Plus series supports it, the storage pool must be Btrfs, and memory is statically occupied according to allocated values. When installing the system, you need VirtIO drivers. Snapshots are really great, and hibernation is also real. Three types of people to avoid — this article explains everything clearly....
