I believe the most notable one is the OpenVPN server from what I've read on other posts. Also its running an AiMesh setup, wired backhaul for that great node stability. The 5G band...

    Having major difficulties setting up a VLAN ID on DSL-AX82U

    Hello, I am trying my hardest to understand the „ethswctl“ and „vlanctl“ commands, but I am unable to set a single LAN port to VLAN ID 6, since that's all that I need. The problem is that, the GUI doesn't have that option in this specific model, it's only terminal based VLAN configuration if...

    GS-AX5400 WiFi Gradual Slowdown (2.4ghz specifically)

    Apologies if wrong forum category, my issue is specifically with the Wireless on my ASUS router however. Pretty much as the title reads, my GS-AX5400 has a perculier problem where the 2.4GHz band creeps to an eventual crawl and requires a router reboot, which then immediately fixes the speed on...
