    What VPN Setting for PIA

    I have the AC87. while it has slightly better CPU, when first tried using PIA OpenVPN I couldn't go past 38 in best cases. So I opened a thread here in snbforums to seek more knowledge and assistance in order to increase the speeds. And with other issues that arose (5ghz drops) I was on the...

    Asus RT-AC87U OpenVPN speeds

    Well, mysteriously after re-updating to Merlin's 380.57_0 and activating MU-MIMO (My LG G's support it) the wireless started to working fine. And I even overclocked the CPU to just 1200mhz and seen a huge difference in OpenVPN speeds from ~36 mbps to a whopping 68mbps! from the nearest PIA...

    Asus RT-AC87U OpenVPN speeds

    Here I am again. This router can't stop giving me headaches. The 5ghz is dropping constantly. I had to downgrade back to Merlin 378.56_2 but to no avail. I just couldn't continue with this router anymore and withstand the complains from everyone at home about the wifi dropping. I've just...

    Asus RT-AC87U OpenVPN speeds

    I just wanted to add that when I bought my 87u I wasn't expecting it to do magic.

Well, unless some genius figures how we could...

The offloaded 5ghz gave me the impression that the main processor might be freed from a heavy task, and as I was planing to turn off 2.4ghz from the beginning so I could have it...

    Asus RT-AC87U OpenVPN speeds

    NAT acceleration hugely affects the speed. When ON the max I get is about 16 mbps from the same server. I started to think about returning this piece of junk. As other problems started to arise, specially the 5ghz is now dropping periodically. This router has been a big failure by Asus. Petty...

    Asus RT-AC87U OpenVPN speeds

    Hi everybody! I have an Asus RT-AC87U. While I got everything up and running just fine specially using Merlin's FWs (no hiccups no drop outs). I'm wondering if I could squeeze the most of it, that's why I payed that much in first place. The question here about OpenVPN speeds (by PIA). Many...
