    Using a 2nd router purely for VPN traffic?

    Is this possible? For example, connect the second router dedicated for VPN to my main router, then config the VPN router to connect directly to a service like PIA, going through my main router? Could this work? For example: Device >> ethernet cable >> Router A (VPN setup using PIA) >>...

    N56U - only channel certain IPs through a remote VPN?

    Hi all. Is it possible to select certain IPs on router 1 (a N56U) and channel them through a VPN tunnel to router 2 (another n56u), while leaving all other IPs on router 1 alone? For example, if I have a device on router 1's network with IP 192.168.1.15, how do I channel that specific...

    What type of real world speeds can I hope for on the RT-N66U?

    If my link speed is 450mbps, would a transfer rate of ~7-8MB/s be a good target? Thanks.

    What's the best firmware for the RT-N56U

    I'm using this router only for routing LAN and internet traffic. My main focus would be file transfers from a PC to a NAS over Gigabit LAN, HD recording over LAN to my PC, and internet and file transfers/LAN traffic coming from a gigabit connected N66U being used as a wireless access point...

    BTW - The RT-N56U does NOT have HTTPS admin log in, go figure...

    I confirmed this BTW. I know it came up in another post. You cannot access the RT-N56U remotely over the net with HTTPS. WTF @ Asus........

    Something is seriously wrong, please help

    Guys, so I downloaded inSSIDer to try and figure out WTF is wrong with my home network. I ran the scan. My 2.4ghz signal was pretty congested but I chose the best channel there was. Speeds at all points in my home are pretty good now at 2.4ghz, maxing out my internet plan, both up and down...

    Does changing a Wifi channel affect the noise level?

    I understand that the higher the SNR, the better. But I am using inSSIDer, and it only reports signal strength in DBM. So my plan is to use inSSIDER to work through all 11 channels at 2.4ghz to try and find the channel with the best DBM reading. But, does changing the channel affect the...

    How do I check my RT-N66U's login attempts etc, getting hacked

    I've had some issues with bots trying to hack my NAS. Where can I find a log of all IPs that have remotely tried to, or successfully accessed, my router, or any devices on my home network. Is there a log somewhere of failed connections, or a log of successful connections, that I can review...

    Trying to extend my RT-N66U wireless range, ideas?

    Hi all - I have an area in my home that gets a weak wireless signal which results in poor transfer rates from the Net (Netflix streaming hangs, web browser takes forever to load etc). I would like to find a way to extend my router's wireless signal to that area. Every room is wired with Cat5e...
