    Is there good VPN tunnel plain DNS filtering software for Windows?

    Windows 10/11 has native support for encrypted DNS (DNS over HTTPS). There are many free filtering DNS services out there which do not require an account (Adguard, Cleanbrowsing, Quad9....)

    BE98 Pro: RMerlin or Asus f/w?

    How long are you waiting between hard reboots ?. Sounds like it is just waiting to receive an IP assignment from your ISP or maybe a bad cable between your router and Modem/ONT. You could try playing with the "DHCP query frequency" setting under WAN Advanced Settings page. Just curious..what...

    BE98 Pro: RMerlin or Asus f/w?

    I have been playing with a BE98 Pro for the past week using both Stock and Asuswrt-Merlin firmware. You shouldn't lose any features by making the switch but as many others have reported this does seem to be a very unstable and buggy router in it's current state, regardless of which f/w you run...

    Looking for a router that runs off 5V and has openvpn client support

    Check out the GL.iNet travel routers. I have the older (Beryl) GL-MT1300 which I have used for the very same purpose for a couple of years and works great. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt3000/

    Asus AC86U VS AX86U Pro Range

    One trick I have seen work very well on a trusty RT-AC68 is just remove one of the 3 router mounted antennas and replace with a cable running to externally mounted antenna located where you need the improved coverage.

    Arris S33 on Comcast Business

    Unless you plan on upgrading to a tier greater than 1Gbps I would recommend going with the SB8200. It is approved for Comcast and considered by some to have better quality hardware than the S33. It has been a rock solid modem for me.

    Channel recommendations?

    Also remember that interference can come from many sources other than nearby AP's. So even you don't see any other AP's using a specific channel that doesn't necessarily mean it's free of interference and will provide the best results. Best to play around and see what works best in your environment.

    Any reason not to upgrade from RT-AX86U to RT-AX86U PRO?

    The RT-AX86U already has a proven track record of being a pretty good router. The RT-AX86U PRO is new and may have issues we are not aware of yet.
