    VPN router with Wifi to internet router

    Gl-net routers can achieve what you want using a WiFi wan connection. They will handle both WireGuard and Open VPN. They are available in travel and normal SOHO configurations. Most people, myself included have been very pleased with their features and performance.

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.8.20 -Oct 12, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! CIFS/SMB/NFS! (Now available in AMTM!)

    I currently have a MB8600. When Xfinity upgraded my 1 gig service to 1.2 gig and after I purchased an AX86S I implemented LAG. To be honest didn't really see any difference since there are only two people in my home and I don't have any hardware with 2.5 gig or better LAN connections...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.8.20 -Oct 12, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! CIFS/SMB/NFS! (Now available in AMTM!)

    LAG is a solution to a technical issue that is being phased out as the newest routers are coming with multi-gig WAN ports. Similar to what happened when manufacturers eliminated the need for crossover cables to connect a modem to a router.

    vlan hardware

    The equipment you have proposed using should enable you to accomplish what you want. The smart switch you have will let you create port based VLANs. Multiple ports should be able to be assigned to the same VLAN. You have correctly disabled Wi-Fi on the primary network facing router. All...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.8.20 -Oct 12, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! CIFS/SMB/NFS! (Now available in AMTM!)

    Did have one small issue after recovery. I had to manually go into the configuration file for vnSTAT and change the interface from Bond1 to eth0. Minor issue so thanks again.

    XT12 WiFI band assignment to specific device(s)

    Set up a guest SSID just for use by these two devices on 2.4 ghz and see if you can get them to connect. You can use a single SSID and or smart connect for the rest of your devices.

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.8.20 -Oct 12, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! CIFS/SMB/NFS! (Now available in AMTM!)

    Works like a charm. Xfinity did some network updates earlier this week and it resulted in not being able to connect to the Internet as Xfinity apparently disabled the ability of my modem to connect using LAG. Turning of LAG off on both the modem and router didn't seem to restore...

    amtm amtm 4.9 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, June 30, 2024 (locked thread)

    It has been working for me both on an AC1900P and a AX86S.

    Which VPN Providers provide Wireguard config files

    Strong VPN has downloadable Wireguard configuration files that can be run on ASUS routers. There have been issues in the past (not sure about currently) where running Wireguard clients disabled hardware acceleration which becomes important if your ISP download speed approaches a gig. This...

    VPN site access more and more blocked

    Bank of America blocks my connection if I use a VPN even if it is a USA server. It is the IP range that is blocked. There is probably a database somewhere that lists IPs of most VPN servers which financial institutions, Netflix, Amazon utilize.

    For Sale - two RT-AC86 used routers

    With this particular router the year of manufacture and where it was manufactured make a big difference in how reliable this generally perceived as unreliable router might be.

    WRT1900AC handshake issues?

    Try changing the control channel to 36 or some other non DFS channel. Also if you have the option set bandwidth to 20/40/80 and see if that makes any difference and your wireless mode auto versus your current A/N setting.

    Hotel Internet slow, very slow

    The GL-Inet travel routers use the hotel's wiFi signal as its WAN's source for Internet. It then broadcasts the connection using your own WiFi SSIDs. You can also connect to the GL-Inet using an Ethernet cable. Depending on the room's configuration you can put the GL-INET near the doorway...

    Added an AP, now entire network speed is very slow

    The OP is having issues so I'm recommending fixes since AP mode isn't working. Leave the router in router mode and turn off DHCP server and radios to trouble shoot. Turning off DHCP is a method to make a router function as an AP. ASUS has added confusion to the process by mingling mesh and...

    Added an AP, now entire network speed is very slow

    Try disabling DHCP on the AP, then turn the radios off, then plug the cable from the main router into a LAN port on your AP, power cycle the AP and it should now be working as a switch. Check your speed and see what happens. This is the old fashioned way to convert a router into either an AP...

    Hotel Internet slow, very slow

    Your chart is showing 2,4 Ghz channels. You might want to consider using a 2.4 channel but they aren't great. If this is the best you are getting for 2.4 Ghz likely the 5 Ghz is even worse. Using a travel router sometimes can help. You can set it in a location where the best signal from...

    Added an AP, now entire network speed is very slow

    As part of your diagnostic procedure. Temporarily disable the radios on your AP and then using a device connected to a LAN port on the AP test your speed just to be sure than the AP isn't using WiFi for its backhaul. Also if you have the cable from the router running from a LAN port to the...

    Can this desired Network configuration be achieved?

    Thanks. Useful information if I ever need it for a future setup.

    Can this desired Network configuration be achieved?

    Will this work or will the OP need a pair of managed switches, one at each end of the cable, so they can run a 802.1Q VLAN(s) since he wants to use a single cable run for both the WAN and LAN? I have never tried to run both a WAN and LAN over the same cable using a 802.1Q VLAN. My setup uses...
