    Should I be paying for VPN service ?

    I do know what it is, I moved on to the minor details now. I do wish I would have worded my topic question differently though and my router having VPN options kind of threw me off.

    Should I be paying for VPN service ?

    Say all I wanted to run through the VPN was wireless media streaming box and a wired PC would I just configure the router to only make that box/PC go through the VPN only ? and would I still take a hit in the Mbps department for both devices ? would the NT-N66U handle the load just fine for two...

    Should I be paying for VPN service ?

    Okay I think I understand now. Well for me it would be the privacy and visit websites streaming. So do I just pay the for the service and basically the way it works I go through them first before I connect to any websites of any kind ? If I were to just use my PC I wouldn't need to fiddle with...

    Should I be paying for VPN service ?

    I have Asus NT-N66U and I noticed that in the routers webpage there is a VPN options like PPTP and OpenVPN. I'm interested in getting a VPN and I understand what it is but not sure what way is the best. So I have a few questions. 1. I've noticed that you can pay a small fee every month to a VPN...

    I got the NT-N66U and only the PS3 don't seem to like it.

    I've got the latest non beta firmware by the way. Not sure if I should upgrade to the beta firmware though it does seem to have a lot of fixes in it.

    I got the NT-N66U and only the PS3 don't seem to like it.

    I'm getting errors like the "Media Server Error – "Protocol Error DLNA 2104" and also the PS3 seems to disconnect itself from PSN kinda often. Also it seems like it takes twice as long to sign in PSN network and sometimes I get the network time out error. PS3 never had these problems before...

    So is the Asus RT-N66U still a good buy in this day and age ?

    Well I got it for $90 actually and dam it works great. I've screwed around so much and wasted much time on this matter I'm not taking it down and sending other router back, it will do for a good while.

    So is the Asus RT-N66U still a good buy in this day and age ?

    There's so much market hype to get to get people to buy these new AC router, and mostly all BS for most of the population. I bought a TP-LINK AC1200 it speed vs. the RT-N66U was the same cause guess what I'm not pushing anything close too or passed the 150Mbps marker, plus actually the range was...

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    OK, by the way range did not really change at all according to like 2-3 articles I red. Yes on speed if you actually need it and currently have internet speeds in the neighborhood of 150Mbps.

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    I ended up getting the Asus RT-N66U wow this thing is great, got it for $90. AC just not worth it in my opinion. By the time I could actually need AC router something else possibly better will be out.

    I OC'ed my Sandy bridge 2500K 3.3GHz to a stable 4.5GHz with aftermarket cooling solution.

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    I know those are available for reading and a good starting point, but those articles are not the be all end all on the matter, and it's not always agreed upon. Just providing someone with links and say read this ! then what's the point of a forum, I still want people opinions and discuss it...

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    I don't remember which router it is but there was one I was looking at and I remember it said not WiFi certified yet, I was wondering if that matters when deciding to buy a new router ? Thanks

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    Would a Archer C9 or a Netgear R6400 Suffice ? What one you get and why ? Also is it a big deal if the Router is not WIFI certified, it only has a AC draft in place ? May not be saying that last part right but you know what I mean.

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    It's a stretch but I see your points. But according to some stuff I read a solid N900 router and speeds under 150Mbps it's a tough sell to a non enthusiast with negiable pluses. I have to upgrade I dont have a choice, but if I had a solid N900 router no way I would upgrade yet.

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    I've decided that I'm either going to get the Archer C9 $120 or the Netgear R6400 $130. I definitely need an upgrade so why not upgrade to the latest standard and it would be only $20 or $30 more anyway depending on which I use. Even though I know I don't have the speed to take advantage of the...

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    If I get the RT-N66U should I put little blocks under the feet so there more air flow underneath ? Cuz I'm don't want to use the stand that comes with it and I'm not propping it on the wall.

    If you don't have speeds in access of 150Mbps whats the point of a AC router ?

    My phone is a AC capable too, but who cares I'm not push any speed close to or past 150Mbps and won't anytime soon. So it comes back to my orginal topic question. Like I said before wireless N is plenty fine for the majority of people out there now and years to come. Look I understand this...
