    Advice needed - VPN speed slows down, have to turn on off once a day

    try another outlet ;) (and/or outlet country) that's what i do when my vpn client grows sluggish. (i may notice this happening every 3-4 months) it's a good idea to give your vpn support feedback on exactly when and which outlet got "tired" on you. they'll say everything fine, but if enough...

    can i program one router while the other is working?

    :rolleyes: i'm planning logistics for this transition within a narrow time window, so i need to know ahead of time that i can do the configuration work on the replacement router without the wifi radios actually being on as not to interfere with the router still active and about to be replaced.

    can i program one router while the other is working?

    so just to clarify, even though the radios are disabled, i can still logically refer to them in various firmware settings and those settings will work once the radios are enabled again. or will re-configuring error out as if to say "device not available" because the radios are off. i just find...

    thanks, but i have no idea how to do it... i used that command in the router console and a win10 cmd line, and nothing happens. anyway, the fact that i get a (?) and my router is my dns now is enough of a change to indicate that something is working :D

    How to set up DNS over TLS 384.13?

    thanks, i did, rebooted everything, dns still works, now i see the cloudflare url test link results says; (?) Secure DNS, You may not be using secure DNS. so that's the proof, going from no to maybe? ;) i also noticed DNSBench shows my router is my DNS not 1.1.1.1 or 9.9.9.9 - i guess that...

    How to set up DNS over TLS 384.13?

    sorry if this was discussed by now, but i figured this is a good thread to ask. i just went from 384.8 to 384.13 on my ac3100 and noticed this dns over tsl. so i follow everything on this thread, and do see that 1.1.1.1 is my dns in use but i don't understand how i'm able to confirm that my dns...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    since you may be shutting down this thread soon in preperation for 384.14 i have a simple question; does this merlin 384.13 include everything from asus v3.0.0.4.384.45717 from 2019/05/13 for my ac3100 ? i ask because I'm about a year behind on firmware and want to set aside a weekend to...

    Questions About SkyNet and Blocking

    well, i was less concerned about the update, i'm simply pointing out the seconds as a common "banmalware" benchmark to compare my router to others. i'm more concerned with diversion+skynet's dependence on my usb drive to perform normally, not just during initial loading and updates - or is it...

    Asus AX88U on sale

    i would argue it did because merlin users are more of the power users of asus routers, due to our reliance on so many third party scripts that in essence make these routers work harder than their factory firmware had intended. https://i.imgur.com/Pjo4kFC.jpg regarding router design, i do...

    Asus AX88U on sale

    just to put my cost considerations in further perspective. i enjoy being frugal not because $200 will break me, but because i enjoy spending that $200 more when i know i'm getting better value for my money in ways that i need, and i simply don't need any of the better or faster abilities of a...

    Poor VPN speed when using Asus OpenVPN Client

    i ran into the same problem with my older asus (no specific openvpn support in the cpu) by disabling encryption (if your vpn outlet support that) you should get another 50% mbps. since i only use the vpn thru the router vlan for SD pirate streams, the 30mbps i get is more than enough.
