    Asus RT-AC3200 Router and VPN

    I'm aware of that. That's pretty much why I asked the OP to give thought about which clients actually need access to the VPN. I never said it was all or nothing.

    Asus RT-AC3200 Router and VPN

    You're correct. I did miss that part. I'd urge the OP to really think about whether or not it's important for all systems on the network to go through the VPN. You should also make sure that the trackers you're accessing allow access through VPN. Many private trackers ban VPN access.

    RT-N66U/AC56U/AC66U/AC68U/AC87U/_3.0.0.4_378_6065- Firmwares

    On my AC87R, the 5Ghz band is working better with 6065 than it has with any other version. It's not a small difference either. My speed has doubled in many cases. I still don't know how overall stability on 5Ghz is yet. Haven't had any drops yet, which is nice. It's still too early to call...

    Asus RT-AC3200 Router and VPN

    It's not possible to hide your IP address from your ISP. They assign your IP and they definitely know who they assign what to. What you're trying to do is hide your IP from other sites you visit. For that, you wouldn't host your own VPN. Instead, you need to sign up for a VPN service offered...

    Asus RT-AC3200 Router and VPN

    Having a separate switch simply gives you more ports, nothing more. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "protected by the VPN service". VPN doesn't really provide any type of protection. It's the firewall in the router which provides the protection. VPN allows you to remotely connect to your...

    RT-N66U/AC56U/AC66U/AC68U/AC87U/_3.0.0.4_378_6065- Firmwares

    I just installed this on my router and I notice one immediate difference. Prior to this firmware, I had to put the 5Ghz network in to 40Mhz mode, otherwise my Macbook Pro would great ridiculously slow speeds. At the moment, I've kept it at the default 80Mhz and am getting ~150Mbps to the...

    RT-N66U/AC56U/AC66U/AC68U/AC87U/_3.0.0.4_378_6065- Firmwares

    Thanks for sharing! I'll be loading this once I get home and keep my fingers crossed that 5Ghz issues are better. Hopefully the 'other stuff' you mention is MU-MIMO.

    Unreliable 5Ghz wifi with AC87R

    That's what I figured. I bought the router on May 6th, so I still have a week to return it. I'm honestly considering replacing it with either the Asus AC3200 or Netgear Nighthawk X6. Not really sure what do to.

    Unreliable 5Ghz wifi with AC87R

    So I just got off the phone with Asus support, as I'm still getting disconnects on the 5Ghz network every couple of days. The rep I spoke to said he was certain I just have a bad router and he gave me a case number to exchange it at Best Buy. I highly doubt this will fix this issue, but has...

    RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_6038- Unofficial Beta Firmware

    They must really be trying hard to fix problems. This is a large jump in build number in a relatively short period of time. I really hope they can resolve the 5ghz disconnect issues.

    RT-AC87U Traffic Monitor has weird WAN stats

    I was getting really weird readings, but not because it was adding my local bandwidth to the mix. It just kept showing random incoming data spikes at 2 - 3 Gbps. The problem completely went away after I performed a factory reset on my cable modem. When it came back online, I was getting...

    RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_6038- Unofficial Beta Firmware

    I'm upset it doesn't require a reboot, as that means there's no new drivers on the 5Ghz side. May I ask where you got this? I would have expected the Asus rep to share it on the other forum first.

    [RT-AC87U] New DD-WRT betas

    I'm sticking with the Asus firmwares until they stabilize the 5Ghz wifi. After that, I'll likely use the Merlin builds as I've never been a fan of the DD-WRT interface.

    RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378_5587- Unofficial beta firmware

    I've tried, but they don't seem to send the mobile activation to international phones.

    Is the AC87R/U traffic monitor really this inaccurate?

    Why aren't you putting your modem in to bridge mode and plugging it in to the WAN port?

    Unreliable 5Ghz wifi with AC87R

    After my last reboot, my 5Ghz has been fairly stable. It occasionally start getting some high latency, but it tends to go away. If my problems come back, I'll try dropping the beacon interval to 50. I'm not at all comfortable setting my key rotation to zero, due to the security implications...

    Is the AC87R/U traffic monitor really this inaccurate?

    I was having a problem with my cable modem last night, so I did a full factory reset on it. After reseting the cable modem, I'm not longer getting strange values returned in the traffic monitor. It appears to now be showing real values.

    Is the AC87R/U traffic monitor really this inaccurate?

    I'm running the 5587 beta and did a reset both prior to flashing the beta and after. All settings were manually entered after.

    Is the AC87R/U traffic monitor really this inaccurate?

    I ws checking the Traffic Monitor for the first time today and the readings are absolutely bonkers. I tried disabling NAT acceleration, but it won't let me. If I choose 'disable' from the drop down, it just stays at 'AUTO'. Does anyone else see this behaviour? There's no way I'm...

    Same SSID or Not? ASUS Roaming Assistant work well? ... two AC68R in same home

    You're missing an option ... Using different SSIDs with Roaming Assistant enabled. That way you can always validate you're on the correct access point, which makes troubleshooting easier.
