    OpenVPN and access to LAN from outside

    When you say decrease encryption you mean simply turn it off? I already use 128-cbc and sha1, the only lower setting would surely be turning off encryption? yeah I use ac86u so that wouldn’t be the bottleneck on my 100mbps line. cheers for all the help again!

    OpenVPN and access to LAN from outside

    You sir, are a beautiful man. All working now and can access the modem when vpn is on. Quick question as you are very knowledgeable on this subject: How does my vpn settings look, all works good currently but is there anything more I can do to speed up the VPN apart from removing encryption...

    OpenVPN and access to LAN from outside

    it doesn’t for me. I have exclusive set for dns. Policy rules strict and with all ips with vpn, and the router ip and modem ip set up to wan (I added the modem up per your instruction) and it won’t allow me access to my modem if policy rules are set to strict not just policy rules?

    Solved Wifi Upload not limited by QoS on RT-AC86U

    Best solution i've seen so far in this thread - whether they monitor email is another matter.

    Solved Wifi Upload not limited by QoS on RT-AC86U

    Education and approaching logical reasoning with an ounce of critical thought will really help. Or you can continue as you are. Please yourself. :)

    OpenVPN and access to LAN from outside

    What do I do if i have a modem behind the router? Currently only to access modem behind router when vpn is on with the common config you are referring to is to swap from policy rules strict to policy rules?

    Solved Wifi Upload not limited by QoS on RT-AC86U

    1. ) So did I, what is your point? Your point does not detract from the fact they were using Merlin. 2. ) So what, he wasn't advised to by RMerlin, your point being exactly? 3. ) I reopened an entirely relevant thread, instead of carrying on another thread that is essentially covering the...

    New wireless router for under £150 ($180)

    I’m inclined to believe they did do something as issues were showing up left right and centre straight after being bought at retail. mid I remember correctly there was no year gap between complaints about issues it all started pretty immediately. But yeah, if def is one the best routers on the...

    Solved Wifi Upload not limited by QoS on RT-AC86U

    Our entire conversation is housed within a thread about a user having an issue while using Merlin, albeit the issue actually stems from asus source code. I am not incorrect to assume any advice given here within would be regarding fixing that problem with the variables the original poster had -...

    Solved Wifi Upload not limited by QoS on RT-AC86U

    That's because the misunderstanding does not stem from my end based on this thread we are actually conversing in. It's quite simple, the person who made this thread was referring to Merlin firmware not stock. Therefore, quite clearly the misunderstanding is not on my part. I don't know why...

    New wireless router for under £150 ($180)

    I have two used ac86u's bought second hand by people that had opened but couldn't return and no issues after two months. Made sure to get receipts and MFG 2019 models. I'd heard most of the issues were with 2018 models.

    OpenVPN and access to LAN from outside

    Yeah I have those set up in kill switch: 192.168.1.0/24 , VPN 192.168.1.1 WAN However, when VPN is enabled I can't access my 4g modem (192.168.5.1) that is connected to the wan port of the asus router (192.168.1.1). Only way I've found to remedy this issue is by chaning policy rules from...

    Happy birthday to us

    Few questions @RMerlin: 1. Why you never moved to a subscription model? 2. Why ASUS doesn't contract you directly? 3. What do you love about creating Merlin firmware? 4. How many hours a week do you think you spend on this firmware/forum? 5. Do you have any expansion plans for the future? As...

    New wireless router for under £150 ($180)

    I'm from the UK and run 2x ac86u's and 1x ac68u (big house). You can pick em up second hand for around 100 on eBay (make sure mfg year 2019 onwards) or amazon for 150gbp. Check my signature for settings and do not use smart connect, causes way more problems than it solves. Chuck your slower...
