    How to use Asus USB Network Share for Axis camera network storage

    Fair, thanks. The video is recorded on SD cards in the cameras. I was just goofing around to see if I could get the Axis to trigger a video upload onto a spare USB drive, just in case someone decided to abscond with the camera, but I hear you guys. I'll think about a more thoughtful solution...

    How to use Asus USB Network Share for Axis camera network storage

    I'm clearly on drugs -- but they're good ones -- because I'm sure this is as simple as it gets and I still can't figure it out. I setup a Samba share on my Asus router: Works fine in Windows 11, but I can't figure out how to translate the network share information for the Asus USB share...

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    Hi. I needed to add the last 2 lines into the custom configuration box on the VPN client tab. Has been working flawlessly ever since.

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    HowIFix it...you are on fire!! My Sonos was acting up yesterday, which was PIS&ING me off, as I partly upgraded to this router to deal with that issue, but I was going to leave that for another day. Guess what? As soon as I turned off USB3 on the refurbished router, 100% "uptime" (I didn't run...

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    And here's a PSA for anyone stumbling across this thread in the future (although, now that I know what to look for, I see it's all over the Internet). I was having two issues: (1) I couldn't get a Public IP address using the VPN, and (2) I was having intermittent internet issues even with no...

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    Sorry for flooding the thread, but just wanted to report back that I picked up a new AC86U tonight, but no difference. Last Q re: Routes. Does this give any hints whether something is wrong? Without VPN: With VPN:

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    Firstly, thanks again for all the pointers. Secondly, to clarify, when I say "refurbished", I mean I bought an AC-86U "refurbished" from NewEgg (albeit for $20 more than the current price): https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320351&cm_re=ac86u-_-33-320-351-_-Product. I'm...

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    Thanks guys, that helps with the motivation...my wife is ready to kill me for not "leaving well enough alone"! I've enabled Policy mode and have tried redirecting all traffic, the entire subnet, specific IP addresses (in case, somehow, it was a software firewall), etc., but nothing seems to...

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    FYI, just heard back from ExpressVPN who said they can't guarantee their OpenVPN service will work with Asuswrt-Merlin, but they'd have their development team look into it. I just tried it again and it works fine with the stock firmware, but when I load up Merlin again, it stops working.

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    Hi Merlin! Not trying to be a pest. I literally went through every option one by one trying to figure it out, but I'm totally stumped (as I have no clue what I'm doing). I deleted the "fragment 1300" command. Apparently, provider requires UDP. Now the log files looks as attached, with DNS set...

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    Disabled Router and computer firewalls. No difference. Tried TCP. Fails and doesn't even appear to be working (at least UDP looks like it's connected, although no public IP address given): Aug 29 16:59:01 rc_service: httpd 744:notify_rc start_vpnclient1 Aug 29 16:59:01 ovpn-client1[19489]...

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    Thanks. I'll check again tonight, but I had disabled the router firewall and it still wouldn't work (yet it worked with the stock Asus firmware with the firewall active). The earlier post seemed to talk about an earlier firmware cutting off keysizes, and I notice one of the errors above is...

    Can't get OpenVPN (using ExpressVPN) to run on RT-AC86U

    I've checked the forums, but can't seem to find anything on this, other than this earlier thread, which I didn't think was relevant (given that I'm running the most recent firmware), but maybe it is...
