    amtm amtm step-by-step install guide - L&LD

    Someday when I have some time and wife isn't using the WiFi I will try a reset on the AC1900P and see if I can get Entware to install. Really no need to double up as all the scripts I use are running on my AX86S. Having scMerlin though is useful as it allows a quick method to restore...

    amtm amtm step-by-step install guide - L&LD

    I have an AC1900P (386.11) which I am using as an AP. AMTM runs, I was able to format an USB drive, create a swap file, get scMerlin working including showing up on the addons tab, however I am unable to get Entware to install and without Entware most other scripts can not be added. I suppose...

    Will a high-end consumer router have enough processing power to function as 1000 Mbps+ Wireguard VPN client?

    I'm not sure how much is processor and how much is the commercial VPN provider's server. Also your distance from the server is a contributing factor.

    Will a high-end consumer router have enough processing power to function as 1000 Mbps+ Wireguard VPN client?

    I have a 1.2 gig connection and I run a Wireguard VPN client on my VPN appliance which has an I7 processor, and my download speeds are normally around 650 - 750 Mbps with an occasional peak speed up to 850 Mbps. While commercial VPN providers seemed to have increased their bandwidth in recent...

    Router VPN / Streaming / Daisy Chain Routers / Security

    Bank of America blocks VPNs also my bill paying service. Banks want to know their customers so they think someone using a VPN is hiding.

    Router VPN / Streaming / Daisy Chain Routers / Security

    The more correct description of how your routers is set up is in a double NAT. Normally when you do that each router has its own sub-net for the LAN and the WAN port on the second router is connected to a LAN port on router one.You have the setup as mentioned so that devices on router two are...

    Home network, how to « isolate » subnets on a budget.

    It offers both port based VLANs as well as 802.1Q VLAN which makes it possible to run multiple VLANs across a single cable if you have a pair switches. Very reliable.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    Upgrade to 388.2 went fine. I have noticed that traffic analyzer isn't working on my AX86S. Trend Micro is activated, switch on QOS tab is also on but I'm not using QOS. I don't remember checking its functionality in any prior versions when using LAG. I am using LAG and I think the...

    AX86u vs AX86s usage questions.

    It depends on your use case and budget. I bought it from Amazon in December when they had it on sale for for $179 but they also included a $150 gift card. I bought it because I have never had confidence in my AC86 after having to RMA a number of the problematic ones from 2018. With LAG the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    Interesting. I got the blinking bell and I couldn't figure out why because I had upgraded my AX86S to Beta 2. Trend Micro signature is also current. I have an AC1900P which is being used as an AP on another network in my home double NATed behind the AX86S. It is connected using an...

    AX86u vs AX86s usage questions.

    I run Merlin plus a number of scripts on my AX86S and have no issues with memory. The router uses link aggregation on the WAN and I have no issues with getting full bandwidth from the WAN on my 1.2 Gig connection. Since VPN is a single core process having 2 vs 4 cores doesn't give you...

    passthru one LAN port to ISP Router

    As Colin said double NAT isn't a problem for most people and the latency it introduces into your network is nano seconds at the most. The biggest issue with being double NATed is that if you have issues with your network tech support will try to blame it on the double NAT since it seems to be...

    Ac86u vs ax86u vs ax86u pro

    The same can be said if your modem doesn't have a 2.5 Gbps port you can't get 2.5 Gbps on the router. Both ends need to support the speed for either type of connection. The same issue of use per client. If a device doesn't support more than I gig than that is the maximum it will get...

    Ac86u vs ax86u vs ax86u pro

    While it does lack the 2.5 Gbps port, it does support link aggregation which on the WAN does allow a 2 Gbps Internet connection.

    VN-Stat - WAN Link Aggregation

    I will give that a try and see what I can do. Thanks. UPDATE: Changed eth0 to bond1. Will see what my data useage looks like after it has had a chance to monitor bond1. The interface update to monitor did carry over into the addon screen for VN-Stat. Thanks again solution was so...

    VN-Stat - WAN Link Aggregation

    According to what is showing on the VN-stat data screen it is monitoring eth0 which I believe is the 1Gig WAN port. LAN port 4 is used for the second WAN connection. No idea if the script could be to modified to monitor two ports and then combine the data used into a single total. Here...
