    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    Hmm... Are you positive a single VPN client is getting double the speed connected to the Asuswrt? Unless Asuswrt has introduced true Link Aggregation within a recent firmware update, I don't see how it's possible for a single VPN client to get double the speed. Two separate VPN clients could...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    Asuswrt uses Weighted, Round-Robin Loadbalancing (not Per-Packet). What do you mean by, "It max out over both connections?" Are you suggesting you are loadbalancing on both the OpenWRT and Asuswrt? Please be a bit more descriptive.

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    This is by design, using Round-Robin (Per-Flow) Loadbalancing, so packets arrive in the order they were transmitted and the preferred method for use with virtual circuits. If Per-Packet Link Aggregation were used, there is a good chance packets would arrive, from the separate paths, out of order...

    Correct... Per the Mwan3 Manual. It should work. I'm not sure why you would be running into VPN issues.

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    Is the OpenWRT performing Round-Robin Loadbalancing (like the Asus) or Link Aggregation? Per-Packet Link Aggregation can cause issues with a VPN depending on the latency with each path taken. Per-Flow Link Aggregation is more suitable for a VPN. If you're OpenWRT is configured to perform Link...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    You'll be surprised how you might be able to contribute to the Asuswrt-Merlin community; after, learning about Asuswrt Dual-WAN Loadbalancing. That is exactly how Asuswrt Dual-WAN Loadbalancing works. A connection traverses either one or the other links, but not both at the same time. There's...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    If the price-point between the multi-port 2.5GE & 5GE NIC's are relatively that close in price, I would definitely go with the 5GE NIC. What AP/s would you recommend? R7800? Agreed. I haven't cut the cord, but I find I augment my satellite tv with a great deal of online content. For me, it's...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    Building your own SFF PC, which I've done, is definitely a viable Mikrotik alternative. Being able to incorporate a 2/4-Port x 2.5/5Gbps NIC would be a great expansion option, but we'd need to compare it with comparable switch options available in the market. I believe $150 is for a low-end SFF...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    Glad to be of service. Perhaps, you'll be able to pay it forward, someday.;) After 2020 & 2021, I believe I finally have my home entertainment dialed-in. Anything. Anywhere. Anytime. "It's Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong." Often premises equipment is too locked down to take advantage. Asuswrt is...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    From the photo it looks like 1Gbps Fiber + 1Gbps WAN, but only a single LAN output? What's the link speed for the LAN output (i.e., 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps)?

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    I think we all agree with you on this point. I'm not sure I understand your suggested topology with the old Asus "modem." You still need devices/network interfaces that support 2Gbps links and Link Aggregation. The Asuswrt does not support true Link Aggregation. Correct... You'd need...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    First, the Asuswrt Dual-WAN Load Balance Feature only works in a Weighted, Round-Robin fashion (not Aggregation). Second, your client computers, on your network, will have to be connected with at least 2Gbps links in order to take advantage of 2Gbps Link Aggregation. Third, purchase a Mikrotik...

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    Pretty good for not speaking Greek, but apparently fluent in Sarcasm. ;) It looks like I'm good to continue my search for an HND router. Thank you for confirming!

    Entware [SOLUTION] Cross-Compile xxHash Entware Package via Debian Live DVD

    NOTE: After finally being convinced by the Entware & OpenWRT Developers that neither Build Environment was meant to be Compiled Natively on a Router (Neutered C Libraries), I decided to pursue this Cross-Compile xxHash Entware Package via Debian Live DVD solution; which, is presumably a bit...

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    It appears that the xt_socket and xt_TPROXY modules are still included in the Linux 4.1.x kernel source. I suppose the next logical question is whether they're compiled and available under the Asuswrt-Merlin 4.1.x kernel? Will you run the following modprobe commands on one of your HND routers...

    @Tech9 Which kernel are the HND routers running? I should be able to find an answer to my module question with the kernel version information. Thanks, again! Respectfully, Gary

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    Originally, @RMerlin sorted me out with this question in the armv7 architecture. Are you counting computer languages? ;) Must be a blessing and a curse. :)

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    I totally understand. It was just a cursory do you happen to know type of question. Sounds like we'll have to facilitate the meeting of Tech3 and Tech9. We'll just have to keep the wife clear of the blaster. :) Nice! You'll have to let us know how it goes if/when it happens. I get it. That's...

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    I've noticed. You've been a difficult read from the start. You're just all sorts of an interesting enigma.
