    Connection drops after new Netgear Switch: how to debug this?

    Hi, I'm having issues where a wired device keeps cutting out every 5 minutes or so. And only for a like.. 5 seconds. Enough to be annoying, and when I turn on a VPN, it keeps telling my I'm not connected to the internet. (After that I auto reconnects after the couple of seconds have passed)...

    AI mesh and Pihole DNS spam: what I found out and where I’m stuck

    Hi, So I’ve done some digging to the best of my abilities, but I can’t fix the problem so here I am. Ever since I hooked up my new router (RT-BE86U running the latest merlin) my previous one (RT-AX86U running the latest merlin) has been placed upstairs as a wired backhaul AI mesh. My router...

    BE88U vs BE86U: is the 88U worth the little but extra money?

    Hi, As I see it, the 88U has more 2.4 GHz throughput and 2 GB RAM instead of 1. I’m just not sure if I will notice that.. The wifi capacity seems plenty high on both models.. and what will more RAM even do on a router? (Planning to use Merlin). Is it worth it paying 40 euros more for the 88...

    So what would be best practice for my specific situation: VPN into home network and DDNS

    Hi, So I’m just looking for what the best option is here. I’ve managed to setup a raspberry pi with pihole (proud of that). I bought a Synology Nas for backup and Plex (got that working as well). I use a Asus RT-AX86U router with the latest version of merlin. So I’m looking for the best wat...
