Adam Networks - AsusWrt Merlin

[BadWolfe]

I'm confused about "Adam Network" tool. It claims to be built into the ASUS router but I can't find it.
Configuration: AX86U Pro, AsusWRT Merlin Firmware: 3004.388.8_4

Goal: Set up OpenVPN. Instructions say to log into Adam Networks and copy my "Dynamic DNS URL", then inside the client configuration file replace "remote IP address" with the dyndns name.

I created an Adam Network account but cannot find the "Box ID" of my Asus Router. This lead me down a path where they state that ADAM is built into ASUS routers, but I can't find anything about that inside of the Router UI.

Am I headed down the wrong path?

Never heard of this before, but this is the closest thing I could find. Requires USB installation. What are you reading?

Here is where I read that AdamOne comes pre-installed on ASUS routers. (due to your response, I am sure that I am misinterpreting it though).

I will look into the USB installation process. Thank you!
Note: I am struggling to get OpenVPN set up and working.

Yeah, this is like what some other companies do. They're saying that if you buy an Asus router from them they will preinstall Merlin's firmware and their software on it for you. So this is their addition and not something that is endorsed by Asus/Merlin or part of the normal Asus/Merlin firmware.

So the question is, have you actually purchased some device or service from this company? If so, what exactly?

What kind of a shady website is this Adam thing... jeez. Stay away.
