    OpenWRT is available for N56U (full support, including both wireless radios)

    Thank you and to the others as well. I did have a play with it and turns out I liked the modular setup however OpenVPN never went well. I have since moved onto making my own pfSense firewall box and am humming along nicely.

    OpenWRT is available for N56U (full support, including both wireless radios)

    With the GUI, can I at least get all LAN/WAN settings going and internet running without needing to drop into command/console mode? And have you used Open VPN on it?

    OpenWRT is available for N56U (full support, including both wireless radios)

    Hello I am using Padavan on n56u at the moment, however setting up OpenVPN at the router level has proven to be going nowhere fast. I am considering moving to OpenWRT as I can at least get proper instructions for that from most VPN providers. With that said, I am concerned about some of the...

    Asus RT-N56U 5GHz network disappeared (FW bug?)

    To the first part, yes I have seen this as well. It doesn't happen too often. I am trying to remember if it was on Asus firmware only, or if I also experienced it on Padavan. Unfortunately I do not know a work around.

    N56U - Padavan Firmware - PIA - VPN Client Setup Help please

    After all this time it's still wonky. First, nearly all VPN providers that support DD-WRT/Tamato, have you use a preconfigured script file. But on this firmware, there is no command line section where you can input this. The OpenVPN Extended Configuration looks like it's meant to do the trick...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    Can anyone recommend a good VPNservice that works properly with the OpenVPN client? A lot of them only support proper DD-WRT setups using a script which you place in WRT firmware command section. This Padavan firmware does not have the same thing(or that I can see), so you have to do it...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    So, very close to getting OpenVPN to run on the latest firmware(RT-N56U_3.4.3.9-095 trmd) for a N56U, however something isn't right. I think there might be an issue with the certificate that I've got from my VPN provider. Then I read this on a blog entry : "Padavan has just made available new...

    Network storage device, have to replug network cable to get back lost transfer speeds

    I didn't have to wait long. About fifteen minutes later from that last connection, the same tests yielded speeds of 35mb/s and 85mb/s respectively. Nothing changed about the NAS setup...

    Network storage device, have to replug network cable to get back lost transfer speeds

    Hi there, I use an Asus RTN56U serving as DHCP with: Port 1 Computer A Port 2 Empty Port 3 ReadyNAS Duo V2[static IP] Port 4 Gigabit Powerline adapter On average for a single large file, my write to the NAS is 40mb/s and my read from the NAS is 100mb/s with 60 and 160mb/s bursts...

    NAS differences and transfer speed via different generations of products

    Thank you for the detailed and specific answers. I went with a duo V2 and so far it's doing well. I think the bottleneck in my setup is actually the router - to be replaced soon!

    NAS differences and transfer speed via different generations of products

    I appreciate that speed isn't everything and I've definitely looked for some that have features I required. The main use is to be a media vault for films/music as well as back up installation files for multiple computers around the home. Most files will be downloaded straight to the drives...

    NAS differences and transfer speed via different generations of products

    I appreciate there's lots of variables to these products and what they offer. Though as a general rule of thumb, how much better or faster(network transfer) are current and even last generation NAS versus some of the grandfather products? I've read here at SNB that some newer NAS, no...
