    what are my best options for an router upgrade?

    Currently using a RT-AC68U. Wanting to improve blind spots by adding a 2nd router as a repeater &/or upgrading my router to a newer model. What are the differences between 68U and 86U for example other than transmit speeds?

    Help improving wifi reliability & strength

    How does connectivity work? It is suggested they need to be connected on same circuit? I don't think that would be my case here.

    Help improving wifi reliability & strength

    My wifi signal is ok for devices on same floor as router. The main issue is keeping the mini pc connected on the floor below router. I am guessing that structural interference is the root problem there. How well do powerline adapters work? I have seen mixed reviews. It seems to be a more...

    Vpn server respond to a specific DNS

    Sorry didn't catch that. I guess it would come down to the configuration of the vpn server. Openvpn server settings within the router look basic. That is where a dedicated vpn server would offer more flexibility. I see an entry Respond to DNS under advanced settings. Not sure what that does...

    Subnet of ISP modem/router and merlin router AC68u must be the same

    Ditto on the bridge mode. Security is going to be better with a router/ device you have access & control over vs the internet provider's option. For me I like the option of the Malware filter provided by Trend Micro included in the Asus routers. It has saved my bacon on several occasions in...

    Vpn server respond to a specific DNS

    I use Nordvpn which gives me the option of using their dedicated DNS which prevents data leaks ( so they say). I just go to WAN - Internet Connection where it says Connect to DNS Server automatically. I choose no & input the ip addresses supplied by Nordvpn in the 2 boxes provided. You can...

    Security of Guest network

    How is guest network isolated from main network? As far as I could tell devices are still assigned an ip within same range as main network. It seems the only barrier is the individual keys assigned to each network. I decided to activate my guest network as temp measure to isolate roku devices...

    have I been hacked?

    Argh Turns out it was related to a file sharing program I downloaded to update my phone. Program turfed so hopefully back to normal. Lesson learned to be careful what I add to my system. It was the only way I could access needed update for my defunct bb10 phone.

    Future proofing which model to focus on?

    Thanx for all the input. I was thinking of future support by merlin on various models for starters as well as security features. I use Nordvpn. I want to have other options besides openvpn possibly the ipsec & let's encrypt? I run the ipsec on mobile phone now. I may selfhost website & or...

    Future proofing which model to focus on?

    I currently have an AC68U. Does this model still have lots of life left in it now with switch to 382 & 384 code series? I am looking forward to the added ipsec & let's encrypt capabilities coming down the pike. Can I continue to milk lots of life out of this model yet or should I prepare for a...

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    Has anyone found a solution to our connection issues with Nordvpn other than changing vpn provider? This is annoying having to reboot router to get connection back. I have my network set to disconnect if i lose vpn. Havent heard anything back from nordvpn tech support. The silence is deafening.

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    I'm hitting the wall on sustained connection issues in rt-AC 68U with nordvpn. What tweaks can i do to fix this problem? It is very frustrating almost rendering vpn not doable with them other than my ikev2 mobile link. It seems like they have everyone on a timer so connection breaks at a...

    OVPN connection loss after TLS re-key

    if you have disabled the cypher detection etc haven't you turned off the security features of the vpn? I want to find a better vpn myself since nordvpn seems to be playing games. constant disconnects defeats the role of vpn & opens up leaking your real contact info i want to be able to maintain...
