    Upgraded Ac86u to 386.13_2 and cannot find wireguard

    I appreciate the update. I just learned today that the ac86u is EOL. At some point, I'll upgrade to the AX86u pro as it has a 2.0 GHz processor which will work slightly better than the 1.8 that exists in the AC86u today. The router is rock solid with the 86u acting as a primary and a mesh

    Upgraded Ac86u to 386.13_2 and cannot find wireguard

    Hi all, I've upgraded to the latest merlin 386.13_2 on the AC86u and cannot find the wireguard on the VPN server. I have been using the 386 firmware for a long time due to the VPN applet from the provider which still works perfectly fine. Am I missing something? Appreciate your help

    AC86U router temperature

    Thanks. At some point, I'll give it another try. I don't really mind if the router runs hotter. how does it matter? However, I don't like the reduced speeds. If the router gets spoilt spponer, that is ok as this router has gone down in price as well. One of my ac86u just died. This was the...

    AC86U router temperature

    Years ago, I noticed that the CPU Temps were high. Ever since, I've reverted all my current and new installs to RT-AC86U_384.19_0 firmware. Temps are back to normal, and I get speeds of over 250 mbps over vpn. When on the later merlin firmware's, I get about 160 mbps over vpn and the temps were...

    Hi All, I'm a bit confused. Did wireguard get ported to the latest merlin firmware for the AC86u? I had tested it on the AX88U and it worked well. but I want to use it on the 86u

    Wireguard on AC86U

    I've seen this. I was hoping if the part of the code for Wireguard that works on the AX Routers will be ported by merlin on the AC86U's. Not sure how complex that would be. I had tried using the session manager and was unsuccessful. I guess I'll have to give it another go at some point. I also...

    VPN Speed and Temp Difference between 384.x and 386.x

    These are my speed tests on astrill with 384.19. The first is over VPN and the second is with VPN disconnected. With 386.x firmware the 209 will drop down to 120-135 Mbps. Even if I try the factory reset or any kind of hard-wired setup. As per astrill, there has been no changes to the...

    I believe so and the warranty justification in this country is useless.

    VPN Speed and Temp Difference between 384.x and 386.x

    In my tests with the AX, I can achieve over 200 Mbps on the speed tests. That is correct. However, with the AX88u I do have packet drops on the voice calls constantly.

    VPN Speed and Temp Difference between 384.x and 386.x

    I am using UDP Pro on the Astrill Applet. If I revert back to plain UDP, the speed reduces to 50Mbps. If I use TCP, the speed does go down to about 40 Mbps. It's a clean Factory Reset and the firmware install. There are no setting modifications that are done. I have downgraded both the primary...

    VPN Speed and Temp Difference between 384.x and 386.x

    This is specific to the AC86U. I have tried this with the AX88U and the speed remains at 200+Mbps. The reduction occurs with the AC86U in my setup. Now I've since the beginning I have found the AX88U to be an unstable router. I probably may have received a defective unit as I can't believe Asus...

    VPN Speed and Temp Difference between 384.x and 386.x

    During Speedtest, the CPU temps don't go higher but the speed is stuck at the slower speeds. It may be the case, though I'm unsure but wanted to report this finding specifically

    VPN Speed and Temp Difference between 384.x and 386.x

    The router is just fine with the higher CPU. Except for the VPN Speeds. Reverting back to 384, brings back the temps and increases the VPN by 60 Mbps which is a good difference

    VPN Speed and Temp Difference between 384.x and 386.x

    Hi Everyone; Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to figure out the reason for my VPN Connection speed drop and have been working with my provider to get to the root cause of it. Problem Statement: My VPN used to clock over 220 Mbps over VPN while I was on 384.x and recently, I couldn't...
