    trouble registering at Asus

    Thanks that seems to be the summation of it. I love the way the router operates, twice the speed of my old router both on ethernet and WiFi. And the interface is much more diverse. I love the guest accts for visitors wanting to log on for their smartphones whereas you can set the access to the...

    Thanks for that!

    Thank you for the complete breakdown.

    Merlin Vulnerabilities?

    I noticed on my router even though remote web access is set to OFF, from a computer within my local LAN in a Browser with my PUBLIC (not local) IP, I could bring up my router's interface, and with the password could log in to the router's setup. I surmise if I were outside my local LAN this...

    DNS Choice?

    Oh sorry for the ambiguity. From what I read some (like Quad 9) offer more malicious domain threat intelligence and block access if your system attempts to contact them. Of course it appears some security apps running on a pc can do the same. I surmise all DNS (ISP and Public) sell some of your...

    Merlin Vulnerabilities?

    Oh you mean by setting the router to "Remote Access" or "Enable Web Access from WAN" etc. Thanks, at first it went right over my head. On the other CSFR is it any real deterrent to change a router's default IP?

    DNS Choice?

    I realize this may be a loaded question depending on the ISP thereof. But generally speaking does a free public DNS like Google (8.8.8.8) or Quad 9 (9.9.9.9) offer better protection than most large ISP DNS?

    Merlin Vulnerabilities?

    (Coming from green novice) How exactly does one expose their webui to internet? Also is it of any real value to change your router's default IP to try and prevent Cross Site Request forgery? Some say it takes time to script this others say not so much to stop the attack. I also read that DHCP...

    Asus RT-AC68P setup questions

    (-- Got in late yesterday and then let windows do 1809 amd64 update which took awhile. I should have probably waited for the bug dust to settle awhile before letting this update in. It did another patch install this morning. But other than time involved no real issues so far other than desktop...

    Asus RT-AC68P setup questions

    Thanks for the answers Colin. If you would be so kind I have a bit more curiosity on the USB printer option. Also just to be clear so far I've been configuring the Asus RT-AC68P router setup with it wired (ethernet) to a lone laptop, it's not on my LAN yet. My old Linksys router is still...

    Asus RT-AC68P setup questions

    Also if OzarkEdge or Anyone would give any input on the following settings. Same router in the USB Application section (the router has USB ports that can be used for various items) The first selection category is Media Services and Servers -- Tab 1 is Itunes Server, set to OFF, I left it OFF...

    Thanks OzarkEdge, I'm copying this now to my router folder.

    Asus RT-AC68P setup questions

    I can't get much from Asus so I'd really appreciate any input this forum has on the below questions for my Asus RT-AC68P router setup. I've run an old Linksys router for the past decade so I'm not that up on Asus setups. (1) The Router had it's own Firewall enabled by default but when I look at...

    Where does Save Settings save to?

    Thanks to all replies I solved the location of the Settings save. I should have checked this but yesterday was chaotic and I didn't. My downloads folder had defaulted it's sort order back and it was no longer showing the most recent date modified file at the top. When I checked the Restore Save...

    trouble registering at Asus

    Thanks for the reply, I'm kinda in hurry to get out the door but maybe later I will attach an image of the SN on the box which matches the router. I've got it just like it reads. Of course to me it's rather counter productive to have a 1 and an l or a O and 0 zero in the same SN. But whatever...

    Where does Save Settings save to?

    Thanks Colin, I was using Firefox, I will try to log in on a different browser and laptop after I eat supper. Thanks for the help.

    trouble registering at Asus

    Wow thanks you know more than Asus's chat people. I found the router under wireless and typed in all the data but it won't accept my serial number. Which I triple checked right off the router and box sitting right beside me. It's correct the site is dysfunctional. It gives me a message about 1...

    Where does Save Settings save to?

    Well it's not in the download folder as that would be where that should be. But File Locator Pro found nothing on the entire C drive. What a strange thing, usually it gives you a browse clue as to where it might have been saved. But more pertinently it doesn't seemed to have saved at all. I...

    trouble registering at Asus

    Tried to register my Asus RT-AC68P router today at the Asus register site ( I bought it last year). I was logged in as I also had an Asus computer previously registered there. Under the Product Type drop down I saw no listing for Routers so I chose the listing of 'Networking' but there no...

    Where does Save Settings save to?

    I saved my settings on my RT-AC68P and it showed the name of the cfg file when it saved it. But it did not say or give me a browse chose where. So I clicked on restore and it gives no clue either. So did search of the entire C drive for the file and found nothing. Anyone know where it saves this...
