    Import config settings from rt-ac68u onto a rt-ac86u?

    Hi I have an old Asus rt-ac68u wireless router, and want to upgrade to the newer Asus rt-ac86u. Does anyone in this forum know if I can just export the settings from the rt-ac68u and then import them to the rt-ac86u? Or do I have to manually redo the whole configuration on the new rt-ac86u?

    L2TP/IPSEC VPN client on RT-AC86U - is this possible?

    I'm curious about whether one could get an L2TP/IPSEC VPN client running on the RT-AC86U. The Merlin firmware doesn't support that - it offers an L2TP/IPSEC server, but only unencrypted L2TP as a client. (Standard Asuswrt is the same). But is there some kind of installable extension that could...

    RT-AC86U Asuswrt-Merlin OpenVPN torrent makes internet crash

    I need some help with a quite annoying problem I have using VPN on my Merlin flashed router. When I start torrenting over VPN, my whole internet connection crashes (not just the VPN tunnel) and my modem needs to recycle and re-acquire an IP from my ISP every couple of minutes. The crash varies...

    Hi, I use a certain VPN service for watching US services from Australia on my Apple TV 4K, one streaming service in particular has always worked on a particular server but suddenly that has changed (The app now asks for location services permission). I wouldn't have a clue, however, if I...

    /opt folder on stock RT-AC86U Firmware

    I just started investigating my new router and wanted to install Entware and other stuff. However, I faced with a problem that /opt folder is not a sym link to /tmp/opt how it is supposed to be but it is just a read-only folder. As a result almost, all installation scripts fail since they want...

    OpenVPN DNS issue

    After rebooting my router, and without changing any settings, all the routed Devices going through the VPN keep showing the DNS that is in the LAN>DHCP SERVER>DNS SERVER 1 and not the VPN's DNS, that is even though I've set "Accept DNS Configuration" to "Exclusive". Has anyone else experienced...

    RT-AC86U vs 2X RT-AC1900P

    I'll shortly be moving into a smallish two-storey townhouse, approx. 630 sq. ft. per floor, and I need a new router. Ideally, I'd like to buy one that will either be able to serve the larger house I'm hoping to be able to afford in a few years, or be fairly easily extensible. I'm intrigued by...

    RT-AC86U WRT-Merlin, Ad Blocking Options

    From others experience which option is best for blocking Ads from all clients from within the router? I only ask as I've noticed there appears to be a few versions of Ad blocking for the router. I've never done this before, I've only ever used Little Snitch, and Browser Ad Blockers etc.

    ASUS RT-AC86U (Merlin) does not connect to OpenVPN (NordVPN)

    Hi, I have recently bought Asus RT-AC86U as I was very impressed with its hardware specs. My main aim is to set this up as a dedicated VPN router (connect to NordVPN using OpenVPN client). I previously had N66U working for this purpose but due to hardware limitation the speed just isn't there...

    RT-AC86U. L2TP and Wireless problems

    Hello, I am owner of AC86U for almost year now. And I am forced to use it as wireless repeater. Pretty pricey repeater, I'd say. The problem is that whenever you use L2TP protocol to connect internet via WAN port you'll face random wireless drops. Wired connection have no problems at that time...
