    RT-AC3200 Upgrade needed?

    Well my ISP speeds aren't great. It's only 24/8 and I'm currently using ExpressVPN as the VPN provider. My main concern is actually the speed of the internal network and how fast devices can talk to either other and transfer speeds. I think my baby internet speeds is easy for the router to...

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    Why is it that the AX88u is still $50-100 more? Is the popularity related to it being compatible with merlin?

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    Reason I went with the 88u was because I saw reviews saying it had better range.

    Merlin firmware for the new RT-AX86U?

    Wondering now if I should get this device or the AX88U. I have a lot of wifi devices connected in my home and currently have the RT3200 which freezes up sometimes not allowing me to connect. Which would be the more sensible upgrade the AX88U or the AX86U because its newer?

    ASUS RT AC88U with Merlin and VPN Bypassing

    I am having the same issue with expressVPN as well. The thing is when I use the VPN service using the L2TP protocol I have no issues with netflix and prime but the problem I now have with this is my speed is cut in half. When I use the Openvpn protocol Netflix tells me that I'm behind a proxy...
