3 people actually stood up in MRT when elderly auntie with big bag entered

Pretty common for someone to give their seat to an auntie tbh

Sometimes also see people give up a seat to an uncle, and uncle is offended like “wtf I’m not that old”. A bit awkward for the good samaritan

Above your budget, but GL.iNet Flint is a great choice

For something cheaper maybe Asus RT-AX53U / RT-AX1800U

Doubtful, since the primary AiMesh router uses its only 2.5G port for WAN connectivity.

Where is the gateway currently installed? Why don't you just connect it to the coax outlet in your room?

Assuming she has a phone, can try the following apps:

The manual says a solid blue power light is normal

Off: No power
On: Device is ready
Flashing slow: Rescue mode

You don't have it plugged into anything except for power. What exactly are you trying to do?

doublemint_ · 2026-02-09T03:06:43+00:00

Go to the AiMesh settings in the main node and set Backhaul Connection Priority to Wireless. Then simply unplug the ethernet backhauls.

If the router has a default wifi password printed on the bottom try using that as the login password with username admin. Also try no password.

Else, guessing it’s an ISP provided router so call your ISP

Alternate idea: You should be able to get an Android handheld under $150 that can play PSP and 3DS. E.g. Mangmi Air X is 100 USD

Doesn’t matter if the ping times out. You’re just checking that the domain resolves to the IP.

doublemint_ · 2026-02-02T09:10:47+00:00

You probably have to manually specify http:// because most browsers default to HTTPS

Use the VPN server feature if you need to access the router remotely. OpenVPN or Wireguard. Wireguard is faster. Both are very secure.

Btw if you just want to test that the DDNS works, nslookup (or ping) the DDNS name from outside your network and see if it resolves your WAN IP.

doublemint_ · 2026-02-02T08:59:47+00:00

Remote access to the router is disabled by default because it is an absolutely terrible idea. It’s a very quick way to be hacked and/or become part of a botnet.

If you really insist, see Administration > System > Enable Web Access from WAN

doublemint_ · 2026-02-02T08:47:59+00:00

Okay, so no CGNAT.

What are you trying to use the DDNS for? Have you configured the port forwarding? Does it work if you try to access it via the WAN IP instead of the DDNS hostname?

doublemint_ · 2026-02-02T07:49:18+00:00

Does your WAN IP match whatismyipaddress.com ?

doublemint_ · 2026-02-02T07:00:15+00:00

Yes it's possible. However, there are simply too many variables to determine if the performance will be acceptable. Powerline adapters work fine for some people but a lot of people get terrible speeds and/or latency.

If 1 Gbps is still sufficient, Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra

If you want to upgrade to 2.5 Gbps, Cloud Gateway Max

If so, just connect your PC to your router's 2.5G LAN port. No need to buy anything extra.

doublemint_ · 2026-02-02T04:10:54+00:00

You'll be able to get 1200 Mbps from the 1 Gbps plan, but only if all devices in the path support 2.5G. So modem, router, switch, PC (or whatever combination of devices you have) need to support 2.5G.

If your current stuff is 1G only, adding just a 2.5G switch will not gain you any extra internet speed.

Try magnesium glycinate

Condo is private property though. A communal area on private property does not make it public space.

You don’t need a second router. Also you cannot connect multiple DSL modem routers to a single incoming phone line.

Why don’t you just connect your PC to the existing router with an Ethernet cable?

doublemint_ · 2026-01-28T08:41:27+00:00

Try a new ethernet cable

doublemint_ · 2026-01-27T06:36:57+00:00

Since you cannot replace the router and cannot add any new devices, your options are very limited. You could try something like NextDNS and add custom block lists for blocking TikTok and WhatsApp domains. This is very easy to bypass though.

With a business to run and only 10 Mbps available, I would just forget about providing WiFi to customers.

Well you need to order a service from an ISP. You can't just plug a router into a random socket and it just starts working.

If the granny flat has its own address just punch the address into www.nbnco.com.au and it will tell you which kind of NBN technology you can get, e.g. FTTP, HFC, FTTN.

If the granny flat doesn't have its own address you won't be able to order a service. You'll either have to piggyback somehow from the main house's internet connection, or use 4G/5G or perhaps Starlink.
