    Gigabit PPPoE on Merlin

    Thanks for the confirmation. It’s great to hear it on Bell and my specific router from you and to get the nod from Merlin too! Btw I originally upgraded to the AX86U (from an AC87U if I recall) for the VPN throughput too. Knowing it will work with Bell makes me happier with my choice. Just wish...

    Gigabit PPPoE on Merlin

    Thanks so much! I had read so many places that the majority of consumer routers couldn’t handle the PPPoE at that speed and many people were using ADMZ pass through which seems messy. I looked up your router and that thing is a BEAST!!! Its processor is 2GHz and mine is 1.8GHz so no big...

    RT-AX86U AES OpenVPN

    Hello, long time reader, first time poster and a Merlin user for years on my AC87U. I’ve just gotten Internet faster than 1Gbps and the old router is showing it’s age. So I’ve decided to get the RT-AX86U, as it seems to have everything I’m looking for: 2.5Gbps WAN, WiFi 6, gaming port, and as I...
