    Multiple VPN Clients

    Hello Alfsu. Thank you for your response but am feeling a bit idiotic. I have done another factory reset and am with asuswrt 386.2_2. I uploaded a UK opvn file to Client 1 - all working well. Tried to upload a Portuguese opvn file to Client 2. No success and again there is no static key and...

    Multiple VPN Clients

    I have an Asus RT-AC2900 and an Asus RT- AC66U B1 as AiMesh both with the latest firmware Asuswrt 386.2_2. I have Nord VPN on the AC2900 under Client 1. I live in Portugal and have a Portuguese VPN server. I sometimes have limited supply so I would like to have a German or English VPN as an...

    Connection of ISP router to Asus RT-AC86U (AC2900)

    Thanks Grisu If I have to ask further I will post as you advise. Just one question here though. If the ISP router allows me to change to bridge mode the Asus router would connect to the ISP but will the VPN I have on the Asus hide the IP on my desktop / IPTV boxes?

    Connection of ISP router to Asus RT-AC86U (AC2900)

    Hello all Thank you. I updated the firmware on the AC86 (Asuswrt-merlin 384.15) updated the AC66U with the same firmware and set it in AiMesh node and added it on the AC86. All up and running. Again many thanks. Being new to the forum and not being too technical I wanted to set the AC86U with...

    Connection of ISP router to Asus RT-AC86U (AC2900)

    Thanks to all RT-AC86U up and running with Merlin and with Nord VPN and I am getting download speed of 130Mbps to the desktop and about 65Mbps to the IPTV boxes so mission accomplished. Tomorrow I want to try and set up AiMesh between the two routers. Presumably Wireless router mode / AiMesh...

    Connection of ISP router to Asus RT-AC86U (AC2900)

    Thank you and sorry for the delay - Covid-19 affecting everything at the moment. I bought the AC86U yesterday. I have (I think) understood all that you say but my situation is simple. The AC66U with VPN restricts download to ±40Mbps and my IPTV set top boxes restrict even further - sometimes...

    Connection of ISP router to Asus RT-AC86U (AC2900)

    Thank you. Does the RT-AC68U restrict download speed to 40Mbps as does the AC66U.B1 or will it allow the speed of the Nord server which is about 120Mbps?

    Connection of ISP router to Asus RT-AC86U (AC2900)

    I was just about to place the order for an AC86U (AC2900) but looking at various items in the forum (and elsewhere) there seems to be numerous problems with this model including firmware issues. I am able to cope with my existing AC66U-B1 setup, firmware updates etc. but what is the overall...

    Connection of ISP router to Asus RT-AC86U (AC2900)

    Again many thanks Colin Taylor. I will not put the GR2421AG in bridge mode. Thank you Captain STX - I will look on the site for the instructions for setting the AC66U.B1 as an access point.

    Connection of ISP router to Asus RT-AC86U (AC2900)

    I am looking for advice in connecting my ISP router (FiberGateway GR241AG on which MEO will not allow a VPN) to an Asus RT-AC86U (AC2900) which I am about to buy and install Nord VPN, and then see if I can use my existing Asus RT-AC66U.B1 as an extender. The reason is that the existing 66U.B1...

    Asus router speeds with VPN

    Many thanks. The VPN server location is in Portugal (Nord have 32 here) but I am not sure how to check their speeds. Often Lisbon which is about 150 kms away. Since I get over 100Mbps on the desktop when it is connected directly to the FiberGateway but with VPN (on the desktop) Could I hope to...

    Asus router speeds with VPN

    My first post so please excuse if anything is not correct. I am in Portugal and I currently have an ASUS RT-AC66U-B1 to which is connected my 2 IPTV MAG boxes and my desktop. All connections are wired. The ASUS, which has Nord VPN is connected (WAN) to the ISP router (FiberGateway GR241AG) as...
