    Wireguard VPN Server Halves Download Speeds

    Apologies if this is old news to everyone, but on my RT-AX86U running 388.1 Merlin f/w, it turns out that activating the Wireguard VPN server effectively halves/caps download speeds. By coincidence I had also moved to a bigger tier (1.5G) at my ISP and assumed the problem was with them <insert...

    Any reason not to upgrade from RT-AX86U to RT-AX86U PRO?

    Couple days ago, got a new RT-AX86U PRO router for my parents’ house. Speed-wise is smooth and for home entertaining connections were pretty nice. The latest firmware 3.0.0.4.388.21074 got an upgrade somehow. Netflix streaming seems without congestion compared to my old router back at home...

    Just added an RP-AX56 mesh node with a wireless backhaul to my RT-AX86U network.

    RT-AX86U - a huge speed difference between wifi and cable

    Hi, I have a 1.5 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up fibre internet connection. I used a cat 6 cable to connect my modem (10 Gbps port) to Asus RT-AX86U (2.5 Gbps port); when I tested the internet speed in the router, everything looked great but unfortunately, even with a 160 Mhz (channel 60) connection...

    RT-AX86U Wake On LAN doen't work on 2.5gbe port?

    Well this is a head scratcher. I have a new Asus Z690 TUG Gaming Mobo with 12th Gen intel processor and I cannot do a Wake On LAN when it's connected by the 2.5GBE port. If I connect to the regular ports, it works just fine. Not sure if this is problem with the Intel I-225V adapter on this...

    This firmware is now available on the Asus web pile. Has anyone tested it on an RT-AX router? I am most interested in stability on RT-AX86U. I have two of those.

    Latency on ASUS AC88U? + BQM

    Hi guys! When using my ASUS router with Virgin Media Gig1 (Hub 4) in modem mode I seem to get increased latency. This takes my in-game ping from 10-15ms to 60-120ms. Is there anyway to reduce this other than ditch my ASUS router? Speeds are okay 950-1103Mbps down. Everything is wired CAT 7...

    Hi I've been troubleshooting OpenVPN on my Asus router for a while and finally seem to have pinned down my issue. From my Android OpenVPN client, I'm able to connect to the router, but can't reach anything (not the gateway, no LAN or internet IPs etc.) Now, I found that when I turn off my...
