    It's teaser-time. Because why not.

    Ah, it sure I knew that. But after looking into it, seems it needs to be an SFP WAN port i think.

    Oh snap! Maybe time to finally get Google Fiber 2gig if it works with it.

    Spotty VPN

    Doesn't seem to have done anything. After about 30 disconnects/reconnects, i still see about 50/50 UDPv4 and UDPv6, with the v4s still not working.

    Spotty VPN

    Hi everyone, not sure if the cause of my issues is related to the router/Merlin, but figured i'd start here. Also, to note, my tech level is proficient enough to install Merlin and some scripts, and SSH some very basic stuff (while following guides). The issue I'm having is that i have an...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available

    Just wanted to chime in and say that my upgrade seems to have gone well. Did a full nuclear reset update on my AX88U and 2 AC86U nodes this weekend (was still on 384.19). Setup consists of about 10 reserved addresses, some port forwards, 1 VPN server, Diversion, Skynet, Unbound, and 3 MOCA...

    Discussion about MoCA 2.5 adapter with 2.5GbE Ethernet port

    Does 1) matter much if my house cable is disconnected from the outside world? For 2), any drawbacks or performance impact to switching over to LAN address? Been having some issues with mine, and I figure easy LAN access would simplify troubleshooting.

    Discussion about MoCA 2.5 adapter with 2.5GbE Ethernet port

    Hi there, I have some Translite TL-MC84s, and have a question about IP addresses. What's better practice: 1) Letting the adapters use their default 192.168.144.200 address? 2) Giving them a fixed address within your LAN (ex 192.168.10)? Not sure if there's a drawback to option 2 or some sort...

    Any current known issues on AX models?

    Hi there, was wondering if there were any currently known issues with AX routers? Story: had gotten my parents an AC86U a few years ago, and installed Merlin at the time. Worked great for about a year. Then he got the 5GHZ wifi radio issue. After a lot of back and forth got an Asus replacement...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    Been through 2 faulty 86Us myself, so I think I'm done with that line. Figure the 58 is new enough to be supported for a while, and for now no hiccups have come up. She's on either 100mbit or 200 I think, so that should be enough with a 58.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    Hi there, not to sound ungrateful or like I'm rushing you guys (love you Merlin!), but is there an ETA for the final release? Mother in law has been complaining about internet issues (she has the Spectrum Router... *Shudders*). Thinking of getting her an AX58U with Merlin for Christmas. Can do...

    Major Issues with AX88U

    Hi there, Not really sure what's happening, but just started seeing a major issue on my AX88U running 384.19. My setup is an AX88U as main, and 2 AC86Us running stock as nodes. Was just streaming a video locally from my NAS to my shield, when playback froze. Thought it was the shield, so I...

    Asus RT-AC86U keeps changing 5GHz Channel

    What qualifies as "near" to an airport? Same city, within 5,10,15 miles? Just curious.

    how to maximise OpenVPN connection speed?

    Daily tests give me about 930/930 on GF across several testing sites. Could I maybe get a screenshot of your settings just to confirm I match? I think my only change may have been to disable compression since I saw something about compression being vulnerable to attack?

    how to maximise OpenVPN connection speed?

    May I ask what settings you're using for the AX88u as a server? Created the VPN and connecting successfully, but with VPN off, on LTE at work, I get about 60mbps, but once I connect, it drops to about 20mpbs. I have Google Fiber at home, so I know I have the upload bandwidth. Thanks!

    Unbound unbound_manager (Manager/Installer utility for unbound - Recursive DNS Server)

    Total noob to linux here, so I have to ask, will this break anything else? Also, so I just type this in putty once I login, or do I open amtm->unbound and then type it? Thanks!

    Unbound unbound_manager (Manager/Installer utility for unbound - Recursive DNS Server)

    Thank you.the reading were quite informative. I at least understand a bit more about what it all does now. Also successfully created the VPN server, and that seems to be going well. And to confirm my last bit, I guess I don't need DOT anymore since I expect the bulk of my DNS requests to be...
