    Which VPN providers offer Asuswrt-Merlin applet?

    Yes, but it works per IP address list, not per domain. If you want to exclude Netflix, it's best to exclude the whole device used for Netflix.

    Which VPN providers offer Asuswrt-Merlin applet?

    @JoeBee it all works rock solid with 384.13 (didn't try 384.14 yet), you must be doing something wrong. Make sure that you follow the installation guidelines properly. I remember also you had to enable and format JFFS partition on Merlin FW and reboot the router twice after doing so. Also don't...

    AC86U 5G SSID occasionally disappears

    From the moment I set a fixed channel for 5Ghz, I have not seen this issue, so I doubt it is HW related.

    AC86U 5G SSID occasionally disappears

    As mentioned before, this bug seems quite common. Just Google: "acsd: selected channel spec: 0xe06a", this is associated with disappearing 5Ghz. When it disappears, the LED light for 5Ghz WiFi on the router is OFF, like someone would have disabled it, however in the router admin settings it is...

    AC86U 5G SSID occasionally disappears

    This is a common problem I think. I am sure most users resolve it through rebooting the router, without bothering of writing here or complain, but there must be an underlying cause of this. I have this quite often with AC86U but frankly speaking never with AC68U. I can have AC86U uptime for 60...

    Why Asus can't get the basics right like PPPoE

    What matters here is not the numbers of routers, but the experience in multiple countries handling such setup. In another country I have PPPoE fiber connection, it was initially running on RT-AC68U but it has sometimes dropped PPPoE session without any reason. It was switching to 2nd WAN but...

    Why Asus can't get the basics right like PPPoE

    Yes, I completely understand you. My previous provider was using PPPoE with VLAN ID and it worked well on Asus routers (I have two RT-AC56U & RT-AC86U). I find it interesting too but there is a reason for it: Asus has many many things screwed up, like dual wan for years, PPPoE is another one and...

    Why Asus can't get the basics right like PPPoE

    Here is the update, yes, it is still happening. What I tried so far: RT-AC56 running OpenWRT - guess what? It just works, every, single, time, on reboot, on demand, on request. No issues. R9000 running stock - your pick? It works, every, single, time. RT-AC86? Guess? Asus has screwed PPPoE...

    Why Asus can't get the basics right like PPPoE

    There is a possibility that the PPPoE implementation itself may vary slightly depending on the country / ISP etc. It just works for some and doesn't work well for others. I would never make it up if things were stable. There must be a reason, why other brands e.g. Netgear or Synology in my...

    Why Asus can't get the basics right like PPPoE

    I am only on Merlin FW on all of my Asus routers. But Merlin doesn't touch WAN as I remember, so it is not up to him or his FW.

    Why Asus can't get the basics right like PPPoE

    I really don't understand. First they screwed up dual wan for years and I am not sure if they ever fixed it, I gave up and bought Synology AC2600 for this purpose which works rock solid. PPPoE on AC68U was also hit and miss and as I can see from Synology AC2600 it was definitely not down to my...

    RT-AC86U hangs on reboot

    Same issue here on AC86U since flashing from 384.9 to 384.10. When initiating reboot from the GUI, the router goes OFF, I have to manually press the button on the back to actually switch it off and then turn it on...

    Custom firmware build for R9000

    @Voxel, in OpenWRT there is a VPN package / client for Cisco AnyConnect. Any chance to have it added to your custom FW?

    RT-AC68U Dual wan question

    I read somewhere that they promised to fix dual related WAN issues this fall. After switching to Synology RT2600AC I forgot what dual-wan problems are about, since everything works as it should. My RT-AC68U serves as AP now.

    Load RT-AC68U firmware on model DSL-AC68U?

    Thanks. Yes, I understand you can flash firmware over WiFi, the problem is if you want to flash DSL-AC68U with Merlin. It is not possible over GUI, you have to do it through recovery and through recovery there is no WiFi, while I have all my ports fried. So I can either throw the DSL-AC68U away...

    Load RT-AC68U firmware on model DSL-AC68U?

    All ethernet ports and DSL port appears to be fried / dead. Is there any way to flash Merlin over WiFi which still works on my DSL-AC68U? If I could manage to use AP/repeater mode, I could perhaps still make some use of it... Also, before I trash DSL-AC68U, I noticed the support for AiMesh has...

    86U, 7800, or RT2600AC

    For the reference I have AC56U, AC68U, AC86U and R7000, R9000 and RT2600AC. AC86U is great overall but their FW is very buggy, lots of things are broken which Merlin tries to patch better or worse. He does excellent job and his support is the main reason of getting Asus in my opinion. Problem is...

    RT-AC86U vs RT2600AC vs ubiquiti ERlite 3 for dual Wan and VPN

    Nothing to worry about. I have this router running for few days already in dual wan failover setup and it works excellent. Much better than buggy Asus, where failover is broken for years. Also much better than Asus running Tomato (there is no Tomato on AC86U anyway), where multiwan also fails in...

    WebUI unresponsive and 100% CPU

    Do you have the remote access to router's GUI enabled? Enabling this on my RT-AC86U running 384.5 makes the GUI unresponsive. SSH also stops working. Just a thought.
