    Open ports query on AX88U

    Hi all. Running Merlin 3004.388.04 on my Asus AX88 and just did an external port scan using the old Shields up service and am seeing that it is stating that Ports 88 (Kerberos) and 89 (SU/MIT Telnet Gateway???) are open, which is odd as I've not necessarily changed anything recently. Was...

    Sorry for the delay in response, but just wanted to thank you all for your help. Your combined advice worked a treat and I now have it all working as I want. Thanks again.

    VPN Director on ASUS AX88-U

    Hello everyone. I hope I have posted this in the right section rather than the ASUSWRT specific section. I have just upgrade to Merlin 386.3 and am liking the VPN director functionality. On the previous versions however, every device behind my router used to be forced to go through a VPN...

    AX88 upgrade query

    Thanks everyone the responses. Just for clarity, I've tried updating drivers for both WiFi adapters and they are according to the manufacturers on the latest versions. The issue occurs on both 2.4 and 5Ghz channels that I have active. Happy to accept that the AX may be misconfigured - but I...

    AX88 upgrade query

    Hi, I've just upgraded my Asus AX88 to 384.17_0 and am seeing an odd issue where my Windows 7 Workstation PC using a TP-Link wifi adapter, and a Windows 10 laptop using its own internal wifi adapter are now seemingly unable to even see my home wifi networks - but can still see a lot of other...

    AX88 OpenVPN hardware assist.

    So just a quick update in terms of VPN performance and I guess to ultimately answer the question I posed originally - yes, when using the baked in Openvpn client there is a definite performance improvement using the AX88 over the AC88. I am using the same set of .OVPN config files from AirVPN...

    AX88 OpenVPN hardware assist.

    Thanks for this. I'll have a look at getting an .ovpn config file to test that, but overall using my existing UDP443 profile, performance with the new AX88 router looks markedly improved already. I'll post some details later today. Thanks again.

    AX88 OpenVPN hardware assist.

    Thanks very much L&LD, and again, thanks for those links - they were/are immensely helpful. I hope you don't mind me asking, but on the AirVPN front - I had been using .ovpn config files based on TCP/80 rather than UDP. I know you said you seem to get excellent AirVPN performance so was...

    Dell Wireless 1830 woes...

    Hi all. I was hoping someone may be able to shed some light, or provide me with a starting point for solving a problem. I have a Dell XPS15 i7 with built in Dell Wireless 1830 802.11ac. I have no problem activating or disabling the adapter, or getting that adapter to connect to my router. I...

    AX88 OpenVPN hardware assist.

    So first off, thanks for the guides and config steps and help so far. They were really invaluable in being able to start from a known "good" build. I tried to follow them to the letter, but there were a couple of steps that I don't think are relevant for the AX88 such as turning off FTP and...

    AX88 OpenVPN hardware assist.

    That's great. Thanks so much. I'll try to work through all of that over the next day or so and update appropriately.

    AX88 OpenVPN hardware assist.

    So I have the AX88 turning up today. Obvs the first thing i'll be doing is an install of the Merlin firmware. I'm not expert level like some of you fine folks, so I was hoping if anyone has any advice on the most relevant settings to make maximise both wifi and OpenVPN performance I'd be happy...

    AX88 OpenVPN hardware assist.

    Thanks for this. Yes I'm with VM also but on the 100 package. I guess I'll get the old card out and get one bought then. Cheers.

    AX88 OpenVPN hardware assist.

    Thanks for the response Mr M. So over my 100MBps line, with my AC88 I generally tend to get between 10-40 of throughput with the VPN enabled (I use AirVPN) depending on local contention and other factors. In your experience, and I'm obviously not asking for a definite, but I would expect to see...

    AX88 OpenVPN hardware assist.

    Hi, I currently have an AC88 that I run with Merlin firmware and a VPN client connection to my provider. Whist this is perfectly functional, unfortunately it is not great in terms of the impact on overall internet speed when taking into account the VPN encryption / decryption overhead. So...

    VM hub vs ASUS AC88U

    I know. That's why I described it as "odd". I'm going to keep playing with the configuration permutations, and with some different DNS providers over the weekend just to be sure.

    VM hub vs ASUS AC88U

    Thanks everyone for the replies but the actual answer for this is a bit more simple than I had thought, but odd in that I'm still not sure I understand either why or how this has suddenly started happening. I did try another cable, but that wasn't it. So I kept the VM hub in router mode and...

    VM hub vs ASUS AC88U

    Hi, thanks. But it is reporting no issue, and also see point 1 of my initial diagnosis steps in the OP.

    VM hub vs ASUS AC88U

    Hi everyone. I was hoping to benefit from the combined wisdom of the forum on a weird issue I have recently started having. I thought I'd describe my current setup first... I have a VM broadband connection, the hub itself has been set in modem mode for the last couple of years (i.e. since I've...
