    pfSense/Sophos vs ASUSWRT/RMerlin - Is there any reason to change?

    Dude pfSense is a better choice overall, but 99.9% of the times Merlin's firmware is just fine for most users. Unless you have extreme broadband speeds or need OpenVPN at more than 50mbps just stick with Asus, way easier, reliable, and Merlin's/hggomes/any other fork make it even better and more...

    Please tell me you are being sarcastic.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.62_1 is now available

    Merlin is your firmware keeping overclock values after a reboot? Many thanks for all your work.

    AdvancedTomato - Optimized 136 build for 56U and 68U and r7000

    Easiest way is to enter the recovery mode in the Asus and flash the Tomato firmware from the app or the recovery webpage. After that, wait a couple of minutes, turn the router off, press WPS and turn the router on keeping WPS pressed, release it after about 30sec (the power led will start...

    AdvancedTomato - Optimized 136 build for 56U and 68U and r7000

    Guys AndreDVJ has built a modified 136 build specifically for 56U and 68U users, with some more commits and updates (including new bcm eth drivers). I've been testing it the last few days and all I can say is that it's exceptional, incredibly stable (with voip too) and gained between 5-10% more...

    Asus AC68U vs Asus AC88U range, temperature and stability

    Living in the Middle East?? If you're planning to use OpenVPN I suggest Tomato, way more stable. 35-40C won't be a big problem, router will most likely hit 85/90C. It's fine, but a small usb fan connected to it will lower the temperature by about 10C making it more stable. (56U here...

    Intel 7260 AC Bluetooth dual band

    Uninstall the card from your system, remove the drivers as well. Reboot the computer, install the latest drivers (18.40.0.3) and do not touch any settings from device manager. It works flawlessy at full speed.

    [Test builds] 380.58 alpha builds are now available

    AC56U. Should look for a country list, wonder which one is better for wifi.

    [Test builds] 380.58 alpha builds are now available

    What is this??? It happens after a factory reset (using asus restoration tool) whenever I go on the 2,4ghz wireless settings.

    OpenVPN performance

    Yes, client here not server. Why don't you try dslreport's speedtest? They use Amazon AWS servers, in my case they work way better than speedtest dot net.

    OpenVPN performance

    Not for everybody. With or without markings doesn't make a difference here, CTF enabled. 24mbps connection, server 3500 miles away (to avoid censorship), I get steady 20/21mbps. P.S.: forgot to mention the AC56U is overclocked: 1000,800.

    [Test builds] 380.58 alpha builds are now available

    It's only the LEDs in a particular situation. Moving to 380.58 a factory reset is almost necessary. After that everything is fine.

    OpenVPN performance

    @MoBlues use UDP protocol not TCP. Way faster.

    Unofficial Build 380.58

    Only two issues with AC56U: 1. LEDs are not working, only the power led is on. 2. Overclocking via nvram command still doesn't work. hggomes has managed to fix it, with his fork nvram commands stay after a reboot @RMerlin I've seen Asus is using build .1574 in their AC5300 emulator, have they...

    OpenVPN performance

    Will switch to a Netgate rackmount appliance soon. Asus is playing foolish now, charging 300$ for new routers with crappy cpus and made of plastic, considering you can buy a T100Chi with that money. They're using outdated version of the linux kernel, same GUI since 2011 (I think), and thanks to...

    Thanks guys, another reason to go pfsense..

    Fork 380.57 HGG-FINAL

    Leave it man. Better ask them to go back to a RT-N16 and put AC wifi on a 600mhz processor. Would they still be happy? Personally moving to a netgate pfsense hardware. Definitely need some more cpu here.

    Fork 380.57 HGG-FINAL

    In a simple scenario yes (even though depends by the transfer protocol used). If NAT rules are implemented the traffic gets handled by the main CPU.

    Fork 380.57 HGG-FINAL

    Again, NOT. TCP/IP is used for internal LAN to LAN transfer as well. You might hit the max load of the CPU quite easily if doing large transfers to a NAS for example. Using a higher clock CPU will ease those transfers too.
