    Best ASUS router for gaming and VPN

    I've read there is a way to get the Wireguard details from NordVPN through Linux and set it up but looks like a process. I reached out to NordVPN support and they say they their developers are working on providing manual connection methods but don't have an ETA.

    Best ASUS router for gaming and VPN

    I was just doing some searching here on the forum and apparently I can get up to 500Mbps using Wireguard which is now supported in the ASUS firmware.

    Best ASUS router for gaming and VPN

    I'm definitely interested in 3.0.0.6 (Asuswrt 5.0) Pro. What is the best ASUS router right now for that upgrade?

    Best ASUS router for gaming and VPN

    I'm having issues with my ISP provided router and looking to purchase a new ASUS one to replace it. My ISP connection is 400Mbps and will be using it with NordVPN. A few models I was looking at were the RT-AX86U Pro, RT-AX88U Pro and the GT-AX6000. What's the best ASUS model right now to keep...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.10 Beta is now available

    Can you look into the USB Android tethering on the RT-AC86U please. I'm using an AT&T Netgear MR1100 hotspot in fail over mode and when the Adroid Tethering is turned on and the hotspot is connected to the RT-AC86U via USB 3.0 for the first time it mounts and works perfectly but if the ASUS...

    Can we get an option to change the MTU for LAN as well

    My ISP uses a non standard MTU setting which I'm able to configure the MTU for the WAN on my ASUS RT-AC86U through the Merlin firmware but I'm running into an issue with my Playstation 4 where it is not then correctly detecting that MTU and is just using the default 1500 MTU. And when I...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    I just flashed back to the latest stock ASUS firmware for the RT-AC86U and did a factory reset to confirm if the WTFast Game Boost service was behaving the same way with CPU usage as with the Merlin firmware and it is. A constant 49-50% CPU load even though the game it's set up for isn't...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    Think of it and other VPN type services as another route you can take to get to the server you're trying to connect to. A VPN or in this case GPN can reduce the number of hops needed, eliminate packet loss if a server on your ISP's route is dropping packets, as well as it can give you a less...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    I logged into the router via SSH and ran the Top command and what is listed as "/jffs/.wtfast/bin/wtfd -d" is using 50% CPU constantly.

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    Can you test the Game Boost WTFast GPN service on the RT-AC86U using the latest beta firmware? I've tried beta 2 and beta 3 for 384.4 and with both my Core 2 CPU utilization is maxed at 100% when I log into and enable this service. I have it set for just 1 game on my PS4 and the PS4 isn't even...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    Anyone use the WTFast game boost service? I've been testing it out the last couple of days running the 384.4 beta firmware and just noticed that my CPU load for the 2nd core on my RT-AC86U is pegged at 100%. I'm using it on my PS4 and not playing the game at the time the 2nd core usage is max...

    AC5300 - GUI turns sluggish with OpenVPN connection issues

    I have a similar issue on the RT-AC86U. Any time a setting is not perfect on the VPN client and I turn it on if it has any connection trouble it completely freezes up the router page and I have to either manually reboot the router or wait 1-2 minutes for the page to finally load again so I can...

    WTFast Game Boost isn't working on 384.3 Merlin

    That's what I did shortly after posting this and the 384.4 beta seems to of fixed WTFast. Problem now though is that my OpenVPN client won't work at all and just hangs when I try to turn it on. I'll post more details in the 384.4 beta firmware thread about that.

    WTFast Game Boost isn't working on 384.3 Merlin

    I decided to test out the WTFast service on my new RT-AC86U since it's free with the router but it's bugged on the Merlin firmware. I was using the latest stable release 384.3 and the issue is the drop-down menus to select Clients, Games, etc doesn't populate with any info and are blank. I...

    RT-AC66U Anyone using a 4G LTE USB modem or phone?

    I spoke with ASUS tech support again and it was recommended that I try turning on the Traffic Manager QoS setting and manually put in the upload and download speeds that I'm able to get with the 4g modem plugged directly into the computer. I did and saved the settings and now I'm getting a...

    ASUS RT-AC66U USB Modem

    Did you make sure Dual WAN was enabled? After that make sure you reboot the router with your USB modem plugged in once you've saved your settings.

    RT-AC66U Anyone using a 4G LTE USB modem or phone?

    I have a Verizon Pantech UML290 4G USB modem connected to the USB 2.0 port on the RT-AC66U and I'm getting pretty good download speeds of around 20 Mbps but the upload speed for whatever reason is really slow and I've tried multiple firmware releases over the last couple of months but I can't...
