    Problem w/AC-86U Tethering

    I posted this on the Merli board thinking it was a Merlin specific issue. Got no replies, so maybe it's a general issue for the hardware, so moving it here, Anyone experience this issue? I recently upgraded from an AC-68U to an AC-86U (AMAZING upgrade!). However, I'm having an issue with USB...

    What’s the best router for VPN speeds?

    L&LD is right on. Yes, the 86 CAN give you speeds of 200Mb+ with a VPN, but it cannot do speeds faster than your slowest link provides. Do the test on your PC (without router). If you get significantly more than the 50Mbs you are getting now than the 86 WILL do better.

    Merlin/TOR

    Thanks VERY much for responding. :-) Makes sense. I will play with it, iterate and test.

    Merlin/TOR

    @Marin Thanks! Good links! @Swistheater Cute answer, but not helpful. Without knowing what goes on "under the hood" of this specific implementation (TOR without the browser bundle is atypical at best), it is impossible to ascertain it's usability or security. If you have "inside information"...

    Merlin/TOR

    Thanks, guys! I am generally aware of TOR and its use. I'm just a little curious as to why this was added with no documentation at all when much less esoteric features are documented.......

    Problem w/AC-86U Tethering

    I recently upgraded from an AC-68U to an AC-86U (AMAZING upgrade!). However, I'm having an issue with USB Tethering. I am in a remote area and keep an Android Phone "permanently" tethered for data. However, there is a difference in the AC-86U that makes this significantly less "automatic". When...

    Merlin/TOR

    Torguard is a commercial VPN. I don't think (hope) that it involves that.

    how to check cpu size rt-68u

    Weird....my RT-86U has NO entry for clkfreq and shows 100 for bogoMIPS!

    Merlin/TOR

    New Merlin user here (loving it)! A question: In the VPN section, there is a tab for TOR. Googling around, I don't find any instructions or discussion of how this works or is implemented. Is it somewhere I have missed?

    RT-AC68U / RT-AC68P / RT-AC1900 / RT-AC1900P

    He said he bought an RT-AC86U Extreme, which apparently doesn't exist either.

    RT-AC68U / RT-AC68P / RT-AC1900 / RT-AC1900P

    But, not even 1 instance/evidence that it was ever sold.

    RT-AC68U / RT-AC68P / RT-AC1900 / RT-AC1900P

    Yeah. Just to add MORE weirdness.... the AC86U has 2 fewer LEDs than the AC68U. So, the motherboard for the AC86U would not even work in the AC68U case. So, if there IS an RT-AC68U_Extreme that is really an RT-AC86U, it would have to look identical to an RT-AC86U as well (only changing the model...

    RT-AC68U / RT-AC68P / RT-AC1900 / RT-AC1900P

    Great. By the time I get mine, you'll be 2 weeks ahead. I'll hit you up with any questions! :-) Even MORE weirdness: The expert (linked in my previous post) mentions an RT-AC68U EXTREME that HAS the BCM4906 Hardware Encryption. It is not in the original chart of this thread (it also has an entry...

    RT-AC68U / RT-AC68P / RT-AC1900 / RT-AC1900P

    Thanks. Decided to take your sage advice and buy an RT-AC86U. But this "guru" has me confused: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2018/08/hardware-acceleration-is-here-for-routers-using-openvpn/ TDLR, he is claiming that only certain versions of the RT-AC86U have the CPU that does the...

    RT-AC68U / RT-AC68P / RT-AC1900 / RT-AC1900P

    I will check and may go that route. Thanks! Do you have any idea what VPN Speeds the AC86 is capable of? Either way, for the benefit of others looking, if you (or others) know the answers to my questions above on the A68, it would benefit this thread. Thanks again! :-)

    RT-AC68U / RT-AC68P / RT-AC1900 / RT-AC1900P

    I want to buy one of these routers. I am constantly connected to the VPN, so I want to be sure to get a 1.4GHz variant. For various reasons, don't want to get it at Best Buy. Am I correct that in spite of the "screwy" version numbering system that B2 is the latest hardware revision and is...

    DDNS w/RT-AC68U Tethered to Android Phone

    yeah, but running VPN on the phone would have sh*tty performance I think......

    DDNS w/RT-AC68U Tethered to Android Phone

    I have my AC68U Tethered to my Android Phone/USB 2.0. Everything works fine, except I can't reach the router remotely. I've set everything up correctly (I think), but I can't reach the router remotely using either the DDNS name the router generates or the public IP. I read somewhere that this...
