    Which mesh device to purchase for 4500sq ft house?

    Yea. I just looked up the RT-AX88U and apparently because I'm using AT&T and have a garbage Pace router it doesn't work well autonegotiating with 2.5gb ports. Maybe I'll just wait for an issue and then just convert everything over to google fiber which seems to allow 3rd party routers better.

    Which mesh device to purchase for 4500sq ft house?

    Thanks I'll look at that too. I'm not limited by budget, but I don't want to spend unnecessarily if I don't need to. I can probably get away with even keeping the ct8 for a long time (since it's actually behind the AT&T router), but my tech itch doesn't like having "older" hardware, and I have...

    Great! Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at this. Good idea about using the ct8's as mesh nodes.

    Which mesh device to purchase for 4500sq ft house?

    Yea, but that's $270 for just one.. Is that what I should expect for a 2-node mesh network? Around $500 to match a CT8

    Greetings, I just noticed that my Zenwifi CT8 model is EOL with Asus. I thought about replacing it with an XT8 or something, but I don't feel great about the zenwifi series itself. I love the Asus interface (and love if it supported merlin). I don't actually need the Wifi backhaul because...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.17 (and 384.13_8) are now available

    Strange, I came here because of the exact same issues after the last release, on my RT-AC3200. The 2.4ghz wifi seems to be crapping out from time to time now. My clients can't connect, sometimes it says invalid password, etc. I even factory reset and inputed all the settings by hand. Still...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Can someone tell me exactly what this option does in the openvpn client? Restrict Access from VPN Server Site: No - site to site access Yes - (this is a foreign site) I have my clients tunneling through my router to my vpn provider, and I want to make sure I understand what this is. I...

    Quick question concerning Padavan FW and openvpn client

    Did this as well for the ports I needed to forward, and all seems well. https://airvpn.org/topic/9270-how-to-forward-ports-in-dd-wrt-tomato-with-iptables/?hl=%2Biptables+%2Bprerouting+%2Btun11+--dpor

    Quick question concerning Padavan FW and openvpn client

    Ok.. for what it's worth, taking this line out causes it to work. iptables -I INPUT -i tun1 -j REJECT However, I believe this line is designed to block clients from being able to access the internet if the VPN is down.

    Quick question concerning Padavan FW and openvpn client

    Sorry not exactly. Still digging. I think one of those iptables is blocking DNS lookups now.

    Quick question concerning Padavan FW and openvpn client

    I'm closer.. added this to run after firewall rules restart and i can intermittently get to the internet with a different IP iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o tun1 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -i tun1 -o br0 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -i tun1 -j REJECT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o tun1 -j...

    Quick question concerning Padavan FW and openvpn client

    Honestly, after I enabled the VPN tunnel, I was running the iptables commands by hand on the commandline in the router, while doing port tests from my client linux machine. Seems strange all the articles I read on tomato/dd-wrt/merlin as openvpn "clients" never mention anything about having...

    Quick question concerning Padavan FW and openvpn client

    Greetings all.. I have been scouring Google for the last 2 hrs to no avail, so I am posting at your mercy. I have updated my Asus rt-n56u to the latest Padavan firmware, so that I may create an "always on" vpn connection from my router to my vpn service (airvpn). I have all the configuration...
