    Buying new router

    Hi, First of all, thank you so much for your reply, greatly appreciated! So that's why I see my 5GHz and even though it looks like I have full signal on my main floor and the basement, it's probably slower than dialup, at least 10 times :) 2.4GHz still works but as I mentioned earlier...

    Buying new router

    My old Asus RT-AC68U is slowly dying. It's the 800 MHz CPU version, H/W: A2 With MerlinWRT, this router served me well, although I've had some problems lately with WiFi sporadically disconnecting from my smartphones and the laptop at the main floor (two floors below the room with my router). I...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66 is now available

    Not sure why all the hostility towards your posts... but IMHO, if one has a problem, these are the forums to report it and see if some kind of solution can be found. It is very much possible you indeed have a defective unit, but not you, nor anybody else will ever know if we don't try to help...

    Am I being hacked?

    Thank you so much!! I went through whole thread, all pages. I love yorgi's explanation of each option. Some of them I totally don't understand, but it's really nice to have everything explained in such an easy way to follow. I've also found a lot of your posts there, with examples and I have to...

    Am I being hacked?

    I took a screenshot, easier than trying to write down everything :) Screenshot attached. I might not be able to respond back immediately, I am on my way out to do some weekend chores, but will be back home this afternoon. Thank you once again for your precious time and trying to help me here...

    Am I being hacked?

    Hi, Yes, we have that one too. For some reason, when I click CONNECT, that yellow progress bar goes to about the middle of the way towards the end, and I get OpenVPN: Waiting for server... after some time, OpenVPN Connection Timeout. Yes, I have imported Profile from my phone's SD card that I...

    Am I being hacked?

    Thank you both for your assistance, greatly appreciated. @Twiglets - sure, I will check that link as soon as I am done with this reply. Thank you once again! @RMerlin - Thank you so much. It's a lot easier to breathe when I get input from professionals and people who possess all that...

    Am I being hacked?

    Hi, I'm sorry if I sound paranoid or stupid (or both)... My router/networking knowledge is rather limited. I've checked my router logs, and among usual things, I found couple of lines that I did not see before. I am from Canada, and these "Client" IPs (139.162.102.46 and 80.82.77.139) are not...

    Idiot needs help with setting up VPN

    Thank you so much, I am incredibly grateful for all your advices and for trying to help me here. Yes, I just switched to TCP and set it to 443. Will see if that works tomorrow. This is for OpenVPN, but when I was at work the other day and managed to connect I wasn't using OpenVPN, didn't even...

    Idiot needs help with setting up VPN

    Hi, Thanks for your reply, greatly appreciated. I was connecting using DDNS since my IP is dynamic so I never know when it's going to change. @Fitz Mutch - Thank you too. To comment on this part: Yes, I am regular there, and just like in McDonalds or Tim Hortons, we always have to accept...

    Idiot needs help with setting up VPN

    Hi, I hope someone could help this idiot with setting up VPN connection. I believe I did everything as suggested in another forum, but still something is off. I am sure it's my error, but I can't figure out where I'm doing wrong. I have enabled VPN Server - PPTP and it's running. I've set my...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.60 Beta is now available

    I don't have a single problem with this beta release. It's as stable as it gets. So, at least we know the problem you're experiencing is not wide spread. I tried exactly what you suggested in couple of last lines of your post, and everything works perfectly fine on my end. Maybe some other...

    378.55 Logon Screen RT-AC66R

    And even if he goes back to official ASUS WRT, he'll realize login screen is changed to this new token based scheme. It's not like Merlin is forcing you to use that screen, it's what it's meant to be - more secure = better.

    Requesting a change of leadership

    You have a choice you idiot! No one is forcing you to use Merlin's builds, go back to official ASUS one if you want, no one is stopping you, you internet, keyboard warrior, lol!

    Requesting a change of leadership

    And this is your first post in this forum? Smells like jealousy to me... What in the world are you blabbing about? It's not Merlin who introduced those security measures, do your research before stating things like that. Second of all... we all want tight security, and if it makes you mad...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    Not sure if I had this before the latest Merlin firmware update, but I'll post here anyway... Is there any specific reason as to why I'm unable to turn "Apps Analysis" on (inside Adaptive QoS - WAN/LAN Bandwidth Monitor settings). I turn it on, click Apply, and once router is done doing whatever...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    I just finished downloading third firmware file (just for testing purposes), and not a single time I was asked by Softpedia my router's login credentials. If you meant you're being asked your login name and password by your router... well, isn't that how it's supposed to be? Of course you have...
