    pfSense computer bulid

    Currently, in 2 minds here go back to my pfsense build or stick with the Asus 86u router, the Asus router is lovely for me, simple and easy to set up and solid since I disabled the AV protection so the ram does not stall it. The Asus router everything can be set up in few minutes (openvpn...

    WireGuard worth the risk ?

    Hi I see many jumping on the new kid of the block WireGuard protocol but came across a good read here: https://restoreprivacy.com/wireguard/ Despite the back and forth debate between many top VPN providers especially Mullvad, Azire, Nordvpn and AirVPN, AirVPN state that they will not use their...

    [Experimental] WireGuard for HND platform (4.1.x kernels)

    Just meant one that's point and click button style, easy to set up and use. Might be a bit too early, maybe Asus will eventually put it in there officially once WG is more stable and fully released.

    Puma 6 Chipped Modems, What issues would I see using one?

    hi yes you could be right, I have yet to double check if VM did fix the line fault in my area but will check with them. I do not do testing or torrenting between 6pm-11pm since that is busy peak times. I have also found torrent settings can effect my torrent speeds for example, TCP protocol is...

    OpenVPN performance of the RT-AC86U

    thanks that is interesting to know, did you by chance notice erratic speeds on your 220+ Mbps with AC86u also ? I hear the reliability of openvpn performance around 250-300Mbps is poor with speeds dipping often then up again, Wiregaurd no such issue. Maybe openvpn is finally showing its age.

    Puma 6 Chipped Modems, What issues would I see using one?

    You isp allows you to install different routers ? Very lucky for us Brits we are stuck with whatever Modem the isp gives and locked to it along with the faults our work around is to set it to modem mode and use a better router to do all the hard work.

    Puma 6 Chipped Modems, What issues would I see using one?

    Seems were Arris owners and Asus 86u owners :) Can I find out what kind of symptoms do you get with that latency spike, for me during speedtest (ookla or any) and especially when torrenting my speed plummets to 1.5Mbps and hovers there, usually it un works itself and goes back to fuller normal...

    Puma 6 Chipped Modems, What issues would I see using one?

    This problem was apparently fixed by Arris, it effected a wide range of Arris modems from Comcast, Hitron and Virgin media Hub 3 Routers and similar. Massive 448+ page thread on the Pumagate scandal here...

    OpenVPN performance of the RT-AC86U

    Having used the ac86u its still a nice powerful router and probably one of the best on the market and easy for anyone to really set up in 10-20 minutes and get on with everything else, but reading back the past 14 pages I can see why some may not advise this router. With broadband speeds...

    Which VPN providers offer Asuswrt-Merlin applet?

    Which VPN providers offer Asuswrt-Merlin applet?

    Cheers guys, yes that was the mistake I was making with router.asus.com ! shows 100% fine direct 192.168.1.1, really wish astrill wikipedia page or the install vid showed that crucial bit of information or at least made a note of it. Sadly I am finding the site filter excluding netflix and bbc...

    RT-AC86U and Virgin SuperHub 3 - Issues with Speed

    oh that is good news with virgin not throttling anymore, I never knew they updated it that is very unlike Virgin, maybe an extra £3.00 price increase on top of the bill ! That is interesting about the hub 3.0, have you got on modem only mode ?

    RT-AC86U and Virgin SuperHub 3 - Issues with Speed

    Got some thoughts here but its not confirmed 100% but SH 3.0s apparently is semi-bridge while in modem only mode, its not a true full bridge/modem only mode, this was mentioned on netgate forums by a another VM customer. Also the super hub 3.0 is using the flakey intel puma chipset which is...
