    Wireguard client on Asuswrt-Merlin (RT-AX86U Pro)

    Thank you, very happy with the speeds, had always heard that Wireguard was 'lightweight' and assumed it would be faster. I happen to have bought a chinese branded N100 X86 pc with 2 ethernet ports - the frustrating challenge that I will enjoy is that it is down to me to tinker with!

    Non-existent hostname

    When I look at "DHCP Leases' on my new RT-AX86U Pro, I see an entry for RT-AC66U_B1-A3B8 xx.xx.xx.72 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff 23:59:32 and I guess this relates to an RT-AC66U I used to use, I did notice it a few days ago and I thought it will expire in time but this is several...

    Wireguard client on Asuswrt-Merlin (RT-AX86U Pro)

    Thanks, that was a typo on my part, I am on 388.2_2 What is likely to be causing the reduction in speed, I didn't think that Wireguard was particularly processor intensive and the router doesn't appear to be under any significant load?

    Wireguard client on Asuswrt-Merlin (RT-AX86U Pro)

    I consider myself to generally to be quite technical but realistically I'm not! I have been trying for quite a while to get a Wireguard VPN client running on a router with policy based rules but I couldn't manage it. I recently found out that both Asuswrt and Asuswrt-Merlin had introduced...

    Installing OpenWRT on an old router

    I am planning on installing OpenWRT on an old router and I would believe I have to add that router into my existing (10.x.x.x) network. Can I plug the old router WAN port into an existing network LAN port - if so what settings do I need to set? I know this doesn't work but I think it should and...

    Beta ASUS RT-AX88U Version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 (2022/08/02)

    I have to realise my technical limitations, I would love to try this out and if I can figure a way I will You don't explicitly say to use SSH but in the instructions I see XSHELL or maybe Putty mentioned even then they need configured Version V4.18 of what? I would guess Wireguard Manager but...

    Beta ASUS RT-AX88U Version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 (2022/08/02)

    Whilst I am not an expert in networking, I think you are probably talking about Wiregurd Session Manager and the 'current' thread is currently 47 pages long - that itself would fry my brain!

    Beta ASUS RT-AX88U Version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 (2022/08/02)

    Can you give me some idea of what Merlin supports? I wasn't aware that WireGuard was even available at all?

    Beta ASUS RT-AX88U Version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 (2022/08/02)

    Answering my own question - I found this today - https://routerkb.asuscomm.com/?page_id=9265 - appears to be in association with the 9.0.0.4.388.20477 Beta Version Firmware. Indicates that yes, a WireGuard Client can be setup in VPN Fusion and then that devices can be assigned to it. Amazon...

    Beta ASUS RT-AX88U Version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 (2022/08/02)

    Can you do Policy Based Routing with a Wireguard VPN on this firmware?

    Add a Wireguard VPN Client

    I think I have sorted my self out and just wanted to post what I have done in case anyone else would care to replicate it. My ISP is Plusnet (in the UK) and I am now using their supplied modem/router, it doesn't have a modem only mode but I have set it to use the 192.168.0.X network and turned...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.10SF-HW

    Firstly, I am not familiar with the Netgear interface, Netgear are a reputable company so I imagine it has good basic interface but when you try to squeeze something extra out of it, that is when you see how good it really is - that is where an alternative firmware sometimes pays dividends. I...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.10SF-HW

    Can I ask, is there any documentation on Voxel's firmware, I have extensively read these forums and I am still unsure about it. Thanks

    Add a Wireguard VPN Client

    I do appreciate your help - but - I feel this router is not something I want to 'get into', it is what it is, I was hoping to add a VPN option alongside it, maybe I need to look at this a different way. Thank you

    Add a Wireguard VPN Client

    Whilst it is not 100% accurate, it is safe to say this router is not configurable, the UI is an Android app. I have asked the manufacturer for help with the 'virtual server' option in the app and the response was "As for the instructions for using the virtual server, we do not have a special...

    Add a Wireguard VPN Client

    Thanks There is no real defined goal for this just something I am interested in. I guess I have a goal of being able to be on the internet and for Google to not know where I am, even using a VPN they know where I am and I would like to explore that further, really to just understand what is...

    Add a Wireguard VPN Client

    I previously had an Asus DSL68U which ran an OpenVPN client using policy rules, it worked flawlessly for a few years but it started acting up. I have gone through various setups since some good and some not so good, I am now using (I even hate to say this) a Taotronics (2 node) Mesh setup which...

    Whole Network VPN

    I have been running a VPN on my router for probably a couple of years now and something has happened to my router. I suspect I am trying to get too much out of the router and whilst I am up and running again it is temporarily without the VPN. I can't see any way of getting a similar router setup...

    Asus router running (wireguard) VPN with policy rules

    Thanks for that, I have been doing some research today into this (and this is entirely TIC), one avenue I tried was asking a Tech Support line (I'll let them remain nameless for now) and their response was "there is a Merlin beta out just now that does support WG if your willing to install that"!

    Asus router running (wireguard) VPN with policy rules

    I have been using a Torguard VPN on my gnuton1 Asus DSL-AC68U (I use the firmware for the RT-AC68U) for a while now, the VPN is configured via OpenVPN. I use 'policy rules' to specify which internal IP's route via the VPN and this works well. If I wasn't able to follow guides I could never have...
