    Troubleshooting 2.5 Gbps Network Speed Issue with NAS and RT-AX86U Router

    It's not just the CPU. Wireguard handling is different between older AX platforms and the newer ones, due to differences in Broadcom's SDK.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.6 Beta is now available

    No wireless changes in either of the beta. Give it time, could be just DFS scanning that means your 5 GHz network can take a few minutes to become available.

    Outside of my control.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.6 Beta is now available

    Since I also updated OpenVPN, I'd like some quick test feedback that everything is still fine with OpenVPN - I didn't have time to test it myself following the merge.

    VPNMON Please VOTE for continued Proton VPN/VPNMON-R3 functionality!

    Unless I'm missing something, you can still use an API to retrieve a server list. Gluetun uses it. https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/pull/2878

    How Can Wifi Devices Connect to a Router NOT Broadcasting SSID?

    "Hide SSID" in a router setting does not prevent broadcasting. It simply makes the broadcast packet contain an empty SSID value. That's why for instance a wireless scanning application will list all these "hidden" networks. It's also why it's being mentionned that that setting does nothing to...

    dnsmasq.conf.add not working on Guest Network Pro clients

    Because it was never intended to be used by end-users. This is for their own internal use. The new Network implementation has to be flexible enough to handle any kind of variation: main, guest, VLAN, not VLAN, etc... VLANs are defined separately from networks. You need some way to associate...

    (Rumor has it starting 11/20) Asus RT-BE96U $310

    Traffic Analyzer's application identification has been replaced by a new Asus implementation based on DNS identification a couple of months ago. Malicious website blocking still works. No idea about the rest, I don't use them.

    (Rumor has it starting 11/20) Asus RT-BE96U $310

    Again it's a matter of needs and budget. I've been using an RT-BE96U as my main router for over a year now, and for me it's fine, as I don't need Adaptive QoS.

    dnsmasq.conf.add not working on Guest Network Pro clients

    You should be fine just restarting dnsmasq, over SSH: service restart_dnsmasq

    dnsmasq.conf.add not working on Guest Network Pro clients

    That value is an internal index. You need to match it with the corresponding network to know which is which - @dave14305 's command will do that.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.6 Beta is now available

    The newer GPL code I use hides the MU-MIMO setting whenever the device supports OFDMA, in favor of the MU-MIMO setting present in the OFDMA/MU-MIMO dropdown. The latest published firmware is older and does not do that yet. I can only assume that this is by design. if(ofdma_support){...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin v4.4.16 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Speedtest and Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    I've done some thread cleanup. Having technical disagrement can happen, but they should not spiral into personal attacks. Please keep it civil folks.

    What monitoring events to check on system?

    If the Internet goes down or I experience random connection failures, then I investigate. Otherwise, I just let mine do its job.
