    Streaming TV app is location based

    Asus RT 5300 AC Router w/Merlin and Express VPN installed, PSVue will not accept the network connection due to being “location based” Connected to the Chicago server as that is closest. Contacted ExpressVPN with no success. Am willing to invest in another device as my wireless speed is also...

    Asus RT-5300 w/ Merlin and ExpressVPN

    Installed and working. Without VPN, around 300 MBpS, VPN enabled, around 60MBpS. Express VPN states that this is what I will get (tried numerous servers). Have thought about a Server with Untangle and VPN Tunnel, but not sure that it would greatly increase speed. Realize there will be some...

    Overall happiness with Orbi

    I have had for 4 months and use in AP mode with ASUS RS AC 5300. House is three floor 4K + and we have great coverage with no issues. (Comcast 150). I really like (1) SSID and network stays up and running very consistently. The 5300 was good, Orbi is better. Better coverage.

    Strange RT-AC-5300 questions :)

    I have had 5300 for several months after a 68U for several years and it is bug free and has much better coverage in my large home. I do not need a Repeater as I did with the 68U, I surely assumed I would. I am extremely satisfied.

    Will A New AC Router Bring You Wi-Fi Joy?

    My network is all wi-fi. "Take the antennas off the 5300 and put them on the AC68U and you will see better coverage", just out of curiousity, how practical is that? I cannot just "add" 4 more antennas to the existing antennas on the Ac68U! I would also venture that better CPU and design have...

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    Great, I ordered and should have Monday, to replace an 86U that has been in service fro several years. I did not need the 8 port 88U, so I thought I would take a chance as I can send it back.
