  1. Am I stupid, or does the ZTE MC888 5G router really not offer any way to set up a simple firewall rule to "block all incoming, allow all outgoing" for IPv6?

    It seems it can either "block all" or "allow all" (no matter the direction), and individual rules seem to also be limited to single addresses (no ranges/subnets) and severely limited in number...

    Does anyone know what I am doing wrong (or if I'm not doing anything wrong: How to work around this?)

  3. Asking the Fediverse mavens:
    Anyone know how to bypass the TP-Link App's setup procedure and get to the diagnostic and firmware updating portions of their router app?
    I made the mistake of setting up their BE11000 mesh system with my cell phone -- which had previously been used to set up an earlier mesh system at another location.
    Now I'm shut out of my current hardware by their app which is trying to find mesh units that no longer exist.
    I'm highly energy efficient, i.e., lazy, so pleez don't tell me that I need to factory reset my current equipment, delete the app from my phone and dump the app's cache and data, and start all over again.
    In other words, don't tell me the truth.
    Do tell me something I want to hear.

  5. Apparently a tp-link archer router will refuse to boot if there's another newer router nearby with the same SSID. It looks like it's starting up and then powers itself off again.

    I had to stuff it into a Christmas cookie tin with a wired connection out one corner to check my old settings.
