    Vektor Security/Privacy device thoughts?

    And when I say Vecktor communicates well to questions over FB Messenger (or the Indegogo campaign page), they sure do. Below is more insight into this product, direct copy and paste responces from Vektor: About how their Vulnerability scanner and such works: We apply AI to our firewall bits...

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    I learned that the early release prodctus are half the cost. So, $299 for the device, now, and have to deal with some buggy firmware for a short time, but have the same product in the end...or, wait, and pay $599 for it.

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    Ok. I was wrong. the Dream is very much still a work in progress...mainly firmware and feature wise. Hardware is good though it seems. https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Dream-Machine-Early-Access/Setup-Notes-and-Available-Features-for-Initial-Early-Access/m-p/2717510#M3

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    Actually, difference between Beta, and early Access. EA is past the beta stage of testing. Limited public release, before full release. The Dream Machine is selling out within 1 min of it being stocked, others are telling me...so...yea.

    Yes. It is free and easy to sign up for the beta forums, and access to the Beta store.

    Confirmation who u are and not spoofed to me is part of privacy, but i see your overall point. My isp does not keep logs and does do other things for privacy that Comcast and CL do not do, what exactly that I cant recall atm. While on the topic of security and privacy...this device was...

    In my experience, I failed to find any benefit to me in using 3rd party DNS...with my current ISP anyway, before, when I had CenturyLink DSL, hell yes, 3rd party DNS was needed) Alternate DNS did ad blocking, (I still use that for my grandparents) but it was laggy to load pages at times, and it...

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    I have many posts on various sites from users of the ER-X and ERL who have 1Gig fiber connections and they claim those, older, and less powered products handle their WAN routing fine. The biggest difference I have read, in regards to those models is the X can not do concurrent 1gig routing...

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    QOS is only useful to prioritize traffic on a saturated network with many active users. Or for low bandwidth availability situations. I have only 2 users on my network, less than 20 devices, and hardley ever saturate my 1gig connection. At the most, I would have several torrents running, while...

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    No. the ER-4 and its reviews are not really fair to compare. It does not have a switch chip and thus would be wired and configured different. I have googled things..and reviews/stats etc for the ER-12 is very lacking. Even more so when specifically comparing it to Asus routers and an 1gig WAN...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    I noticed something odd. The Status side bar on the main router GUI page, the realtime cpu stats don't seem to be accurate...UNLESS, i have the phone app open and viewing the System Monitor part. Then the app shows the real cpu usage, and so does the router GUI webpage. When i close out of the...

    Ran some tests with iperf3 and my Asus AC86U. Getting around 954 - 976 Mbits/sec in my tests between the 3 computers I normal send files to and from. Dont see a peep out of the routers CPU. Any ideas how to use iperf to test WAN to LAN?

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    I very much was about to get an AX model, as it has the top cpu (4core 1.8ghz) and a 8 port built in switch...that alone is better than the ER models i was looking at. However, I then read many reviews and the threads of folks using Merlin firmware on the AX models....and...its no where near as...

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    I did look into Pfsence, but that seems far more complicated to setup and get working that what I want to do. Also, their pre-built hardware is incredibly expensive and overpriced. Also, the power cost to run one 24/7 would be higher than a normal router.

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    That is quite interesting...but, outdated hardware now. Dual core ARMv7 1.6Ghz. The AC86U already has that beat with a Dual core ARMv8 1.8Ghz. Also, doesn't seem to be sold on a USA site, and international shipping cost is quite high these days.

    AC86U vs EdgeRouter

    1 network for me. That is all that I need since any and all devices that are network capable need to do so to connect to the Internet for what ever reason. Though, I would not mind splitting up things, having just my primary computers on on network, and the others on a different network, but...
