    Setting VPN Routing by MAC address?

    I'm having trouble with setting up VPN on my Asus RT-AC86U. I'm trying to set it up to use VPN as default and I've found setting IP 192.168.1.0/24 to VPN routes everything to VPN (albeit it disables the router.asus.com and I have to use the IP address directly to get to the settings menu) and...

    Setting up NordVPN on RT-AC86U

    Thanks I looked through that and some other threads and it seems to be working now. The DNS issue seems to have resolved itself, not sure why it wasn't working yesterday. I wanted to have everything go through VPN apart from two devices that won't function through VPN. I've set DNS to exclusive...

    Setting up NordVPN on RT-AC86U

    So thanks to this forum I've swapped my router RT-AC3200 for a RT-AC86U in order to have better performance using VPN on the Router. However I've run into an issue that I didn't experience with the 3200 which setup fine, it was just the lack of hardware acceleration that was the problem. So I...

    NordVPN issue on Asus RT-AC3200 (OpenVPN)

    Thanks all - I'm going to buy the AC86 instead, annoyingly I very nearly bought this to start with but decided to go with the AC3200 because I stupidly thought the higher model number and tri-band and more antenna etc made it the better choice. It never even occurred to me there had to be...

    NordVPN issue on Asus RT-AC3200 (OpenVPN)

    Ok final question - I can get the AC86 for ~£135, or the AX88 for ~£270 - is the AX88 really worth paying double for?

    NordVPN issue on Asus RT-AC3200 (OpenVPN)

    Thanks - are there any 'downsides' of going to the AC86U? I'm guessing it's a newer version of a lower spec model, so does the newer hardware outstrip any losses in other features of the AC3200 - e.g. tri-band, wi-fi range, wi-fi speed etc? Really wish I would have known this before buying the...

    NordVPN issue on Asus RT-AC3200 (OpenVPN)

    Thanks both, that is disappointing, I didn't read anything about that when I was researching what model to get :( The AX88U is very expensive and out of my budget range, what about the AC86U? Would that be any better or would that be about the same as the AC3200?

    NordVPN issue on Asus RT-AC3200 (OpenVPN)

    Hi, not sure if you guys can help me but I found this site after lot's of Googling and hopefully I've ended up in the right place! Basically I've just purchased a Asus RT-AC3200 router and configured it with the latest Asus-Merlin firmware. I've also just bought a NordVPN subscription with the...
