    Asus RT-AX86U PRO w/ Merlin - Entire Router Reboots when one user connects to the VPN, but only when 2.4GHz WiFi is turned on

    If anyone finds this thread in the future (like I did), I finally found someone else having the same issue on the same model. There is updated info in this thread https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ax86u-pro-vpn-reboot.90641/

    AX86U PRO -- VPN Reboot

    Hi @Engineer530 I'm the one that posted the previous thread from a year ago with the same exact issue. This is the link to the thread https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-ax86u-pro-w-merlin-entire-router-reboots-when-one-user-connects-to-the-vpn-but-only-when-2-4ghz-wifi-is-turned-on.86432/...

    Starting OpenVPN with TAP Client seems to crash RT-AX86U

    @AndrewL733 Dang, I was really hoping you'd be able to duplicate the problem going away when the 2.4GHz radio was disabled - I figured that would help Merlin or someone at Asus fix the problem with that correlation. It is so strange that it works just fine for me when the 2.4 Radio is disabled...

    Asus RT-AX86U PRO w/ Merlin - Entire Router Reboots when one user connects to the VPN, but only when 2.4GHz WiFi is turned on

    @RMerlin I appreciate the response! But would that explain why 3 external computers can connect to the OpenVPN server in the router with no issue (and at the same time), but the second the problem client connects, the router reboots? They're all using the same version of OpenVPN client, and all...

    Starting OpenVPN with TAP Client seems to crash RT-AX86U

    @AndrewL733 thank you so much for the reply and for all of the info! I'll look into the Beelink systems, but I'm doing a user-to-router VPN with a few users that just connect to the OpenVPN in the Asus Router. There were no problems when we were using the RT-AC86U, but we just upgraded to the...

    Asus RT-AX86U PRO w/ Merlin - Entire Router Reboots when one user connects to the VPN, but only when 2.4GHz WiFi is turned on

    @MXThaurus thank you for the reply. I was actually using 388.2_2 until yesterday when we tried to start using the VPN. After I setup the VPN, exported the client config file, and copied it to the client that was already using OpenVPN 2.5.6, that's when we discovered the problem. I updated the...

    Starting OpenVPN with TAP Client seems to crash RT-AX86U

    Hey guys, I know it's been a couple months since the last message here, but I have some information that might be related to the issue you 2 are both seeing. I'm not using a Router to router bridge, but a laptop to router bridge using the OpenVPN Windows client on the user's computer and the...

    Asus RT-AX86U PRO w/ Merlin - Entire Router Reboots when one user connects to the VPN, but only when 2.4GHz WiFi is turned on

    This is the weirdest issue I've ever seen with a router. When only one client connects to our Asus RT-AX86U Router with the newest Merlin firmware (and the 2nd to newest) using the OpenVPN client, the entire router reboots like someone turned it off and back on again. But it only does this to...

    OpenVPN TAP Client Causes AX88U Server Reboot

    Did anyone else ever have or fix this issue? I have a brand new Asus RT-AX86U PRO with the newest Merlin firmware on it (until 30 minutes ago it had 388.2_2 on it, but no difference), and I have one client that every time she connects to the TAP VPN server in this router, the entire router...
