    ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 9.0.0.6.102.4856

    RT-AX86U / RT-AC86U AiMesh

    Recently I have been trying out new Asus AX solutions. Not that I really need AX wifi, I just wanted to try something new. I had been running my RT-AC86U (wifi off) with 3 eero Pro units in bridge mode. This provided a very reliable mesh system for my home with around 36 or so devices connected...

    New XT8 setup

    I finally ditched my AC86U/eero pro 3 unit setup and went with a AC86U/2-XT8 setup. The eero setup worked well enough, especially in bridge mode off of my RT-AC86U. I am just too dependent on Merlin‘s firmware to give it up and the AC86U has been rock solid. My main gripe on the eero units is no...

    Use vpn for dns only

    How would I use a vpn to route ONLY DNS traffic and to bypass the vpn for all other traffic? I have a neighbor I am trying to setup because his isp intercepts and redirects dns traffic. He has a rt-ac86u and tor vpn setup already. The reason for directing only dns traffic is his FuboTV service...

    Copy USB data to new USB device

    I recently setup my new RT-AC86U. It’s working great so far with one exception. sometimes on a reboot the 16G USB drive will not be recognized. I think the drive may be flaky. The usb stick was formatted ext4 using the amtm utility. How can I copy my data from the old usb stick to a new one? Am...
