    RT-AC86U new firmware 3.0.0.4.386_44470-g53bccb8

    My router prompted me to install the firmware update in the title. Not ready to take a gamble, as the current firmware has been solid. Also, I can't see it on the support web site to learn what is in included in the update. Anyone give it a whirl yet?

    Using OpenVPN on RT-AC86u, how to disconnect after 30 minutes inactivity

    I am successfully using the OpenVPN service, works great with excellent performance. I want to disconnect clients after 30 minutes of inactivity, and tried manually entering "inactive 1800" (no quotes) into the client.ovpn file on my remote desktop, but OpenVPN doesn't like it. Has anyone made...

    How to block IP cameras from Internet access

    I have a dozen IP cameras and I recently upgraded to an ASUS RT-AC86u as firewall. I setup a time server on a my security cam server and the cameras sync time there. I use OpenVPN to access my camera system when I'm not home (so no open port). Now I want to block those cameras from using the...

    R7000, question moving over to XWRT-VORTEX

    I started using my R7000 as my router with wifi off. Its OK, but it has some oddness with DHCP reservations and its OpenVPN tends to crash Windows clients (ASUS OpenVPN implementation didn't cause issues on the same desktops). I believe that all I have to is download [download link removed...

    R7000 as my router (not wifi)

    I am replacing my trusty old Asus RTN-66U with a Netgear R7000 that I just took out of service as an access point (I got poor wifi performance and gave up on it). Primary role will be as firewall, plus 1 OPENVPN user (into my home network). I see so many threads about using alternative...

    Home router recommendation (no wifi)

    I've been relying on an ASUS RTN66U with its wifi turned off as my router. But I'm going to start using a VPN and I'm told that it will be under-powered for that. I have 9 wired devices and probably 25 wireless (3 AP's in the house). I have one open port now that is used to access camera...

    Replacing my router (ASUS RTN66U), need faster but no wifi

    I've been using an old Asus RTN66U as my wired router, but I now need to support a personal VPN and I think this old router will not handle the load. I have 3 Netgear routers as access points in the house (R7000, R6400, anda WNDR3700). Can someone recommend a router that would be fast enough...

    Using ASUS RT-N66U as wired router

    I retired my RT-N66U from wireless access role and have been using it for a few years as my wired router (Comcast Gateway feeding its 250mb internet connection). It works fine, but I'm aware that this is still old technology. We have a total of 3 access points supporting 2 wired desktops...

    Favorite: Netgear ReadyNAS Duo

    I've been using this for six months at home, ever since my single drive NAS bit the dust. Its a great unit, although I only make use of a fraction of it's capabilities, primarily as networked file service used for automated backup and shared files (mixed MAC OS and Windows XP users). Pros...

    DIR-655 as access point, can't ping a site

    I setup my new DIR-655 as an access point today and it works great. However, I noticed that it does not properly connect to a time server tosync time, and that I cannot execute a ping to a domain name. I'm thinking this is becuase it does not know the route to get outside the LAN. Is there a...

    Should I be using RIP

    I have a home network with an FVS318 router and two wireless access points (DIR-655 and a Netgear wnr834M). Should I have RIP turned on in thiese devices?

    Home network, replacing Netgear WNR834M

    I have a home network that is a combination of wired (desktop computers, printers, and NAS) and wireless (Macbooks, Powerbooks, and iPod Touchs). The wireless has been supported by a Netgear WNR834M but we've had a problem where we lose wireless after the Powerbook (old g capability) sleeps. I...

    Replacing FVS318 (v3)

    I need to replace the firewall I have at home (Netgear FVS318). Its been flaky lately, and I'd benefit from LAN gigabit (I have 3 wired computers, a wii, 1 NAS, and two wireless access points suppoting macs and ipods, Internet is Comcast at 8mb). I'm not sure if I really need a firewall or...
