If you have a nighthawk X6 from Netgear and think that you have a great router… boy are you right! Until you turned on all the features and run a speed test. To your horror, you realise that you just can’t hit the maximum bandwidth your ISP has provided. Perhaps getting stuck at about ~350Mbps to ~400Mbps.
Word of advice. Turn OFF the traffic meter, and life would be great again. Something around ~800+ Mbps type of great.
This post comes a couple of days after riding the Shimanami Kaido. It’s took a while to convince myself that it was worth writing this but I guess it serves as a way of concluding my first ever long distance ride overseas. The best part of which was it was done with a loved one.
The worst part? Was that my Garmin hung midway through the ride and I lost a days worth of ride track. Looking at the bright side, was that I didn’t lose everything, thanks to Strava on my iPhone…Â Continue reading Riding the Shimanami Kaido
Got a LRT224 for its OpenVPN capabilities but ended up struggling with stability issues. Here are the symptoms.
The router would work fine for an undetermined amount of time and would then dynamically freeze. the Logs might or might not show any information except something that says
upnpd[438]: UPNP Rule is not FULL!!!
Not much information other than that. Rebooting the router seems to work for a while, but the router might freeze again after an undetermined amount of time. This can be extremely painful if you have services that you need to connect to behind the router. After lots of testing and trying, it seems that the LRT224 might have issues with uPNP. No one seems to be able to pinpoint the exact problem but there has been some reports of users facing issues. Continue reading Some notes on LRT224. Freezing and Hangs
Garmin Express sucks. While it works most of the time for its normal software functions, the really critical stuff such as firmware updates don’t work well.
I had to hunt for the GUPDATE file for my Garmin Edge 810 and install it manually.
I finally managed to find the file located at Garmin firmware files.
Just download the appropriate file and copy the GUPDATE into the /GARMIN directory of your device’s main memory. Unmount and Reboot the Garmin and you should see the file getting picked up and installed. The device might reboot a couple of times and finally, it should settle on the normal use screen.
I had to re-pair my iPhone in order to use the Garmin Mobile Connect app again. Language and certain metrics had to be re-set up too. But once its done, everything works fine.
