    RT-AC87 - Has anyone gotten OpenVPN running?

    Finally got this working. Thanks, everyone! EDIT: I have to add, performance with OpenVPN set up is significantly faster with the RT-AC87R than it was with the RT-AC66R. I am seeing little to no loss of speed, indicating to me that the AC66R was definitely having issues with its CPU handling...

    RT-AC87 - Has anyone gotten OpenVPN running?

    Thanks, hack, I will try this tonight. Would much rather connect off the router than use PIA's client, and I'd like to compare to my AC66, which really slowed down when enabled.

    ASUS RT-AC87 Firmware - Official Releases

    Whose router is that, and where's the 2216 FW from?

    Asus RT-AC87R/U - FACTORY F/W Bug Thread

    Yes, I started experiencing issues in the last 24 hours with 5GHz as well, similar to yours. Wireless doesn't drop, but LAN/WAN access stop responding unless one disconnects and reconnects to the WLAN.

    AC87RT - 5G Not working!

    I am now experiencing halts of internet access from my laptop (ThinkPad T420, Intel Ultimate 6300N) to my RT-87R. So is my SO's laptop (Intel Advanced 6205N). The connection doesn't disconnect, but one cannot resolve any Internet access. Disconnecting and reconnecting to the 5GHz network...

    RT-AC87 - Has anyone gotten OpenVPN running?

    Can one of you copy/paste the text of your .ovpn file here, minus any relevant security information? I am still trying different .ovpn files, without success. I have been using Google DNS servers all along (no automatic), and have tried uploading my ca.crt and pasting it in as text...

    RT-AC87 - Has anyone gotten OpenVPN running?

    Nish, I am also using PIA. I tried multiple different ways of doing it, but without success. However, on the Advanced mode that was available on the RT-AC66R, it worked without issue. The RT-AC87R does not have the Advanced mode available; I think like Merlin said, that ASUS hid it from...

    Downgrade from AC87R to AC68U?

    Odd. What channel bandwidth are you set to for 2.4GHz? My router was set to channel 1 (auto) on 20Mhz/40MHz, but when I locked it at 40MHz, it went to 6+10 automatically. Of course, I prefer to have most of my devices on 5GHz anyway; an InSSIDer scan of my neighborhood shows that the...

    New Asus RT-87U

    Twofold. - OpenVPN client performance (which cuts speeds by 2/3 on my RT-AC66R, it has been indicated that going from a single-core MIPS processor to a much faster-clocked dual-core ARM processor) should provide noticeable performance improvements. I've already found Internet speed is...

    RT-AC87 - Has anyone gotten OpenVPN running?

    Merlin, Is your beta firmware's OpenVPN inferface more similar to that of the RT-AC66? I got things to work fine there through all of the manual input settings, which I don't have with the RT-AC87. My only option with the 87 seems to be to import an .ovpn file.

    AC87RT - 5G Not working!

    After waiting for Cisco routers to boot up, I don't find this a huge deal. Though I'll say the Watchguard firewalls at work boot faster than the AC87. I'm sure with subsequent code releases, ASUS and Quantenna will get at least a little more efficient.

    ASUS RT-AC87U / R Price and Availability

    R for return. As in easy to return to your retail store in 15 days if you find it doesn't work out. When I buy something this expensive, it's one of the few times I actually buy local. If the firmware is extremely buggy or the unit is unstable, if I have the box and receipt, it's easy...

    RT-AC87 - Has anyone gotten OpenVPN running?

    I'm trying to set up OpenVPN on my RT-AC87. Currently, I'm using ASUS firmware 2044. I've used my provider's .ovpn file, as well as a custom one, along with my username and password. I've imported their provided ca.crt file, but also copied and pasted manually. In both cases, I can't...

    AC87RT - 5G Not working!

    I am going through the steps of configuring my RT-AC87R. I have not had 5GHz not show up. However, the 5GHz radio takes noticeably longer (say, 20-30seconds) to boot than the 2GHz radio. I have upgraded to the 2044 firmware.

    How many of those who finally have stable AC68s are going to the 87?

    Okay. Someone grill up a heaping plate of crow, because I'm about to eat it. :o After finding out that OpenVPN was seriously taxing my RT-AC66R, I had to think about this some more. After looking at the 68 and the 87, I grabbed an 87R for testing purposes. I have a 15 day window to find...

    Question regarding OpenVPN client performance on ASUS AC routers

    Hi all, I've been playing around connecting to my VPN service with OpenVPN. Doing it with a Windows client on my server has excellent speeds. Doing it on my ASUS RT-AC66R brings speeds to a crawl. I don't have that many clients, and the CPU usage on the router doesn't break 66%. I...

    How many of those who finally have stable AC68s are going to the 87?

    Routers are like software. Don't trust the .0 release. Or in the case of routers, don't trust one until the vendor has had six months to generate good firmware, and then read the reports of the community that decided to beta-test for you. I love the interface and features of my RT-AC66R...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.44 Beta 1 is out

    No problems downloading here. Been running the beta for about 90 minutes now. I like the new CPU/RAM usage graphs. No issues with the migration at this point, and my OpenVPN client connection works fine. I am hoping wireless is better in this build than that past few; I don't attribute...

    Rmerlin GUI faster on IE 8 than on IE 11!?

    Just remember that IE8 is considered far less secure, and is becoming far less compatible with web sites than IE9 or later. I found IE10 to be an abomination in the corporate environment. I keep IE9 on most of our gear, and IE11 is a better choice if it is compatible with your websites, but...
