    ASUS ac68 lan ports not working

    Just wanted to report back about the issue. In the end I identified the issue to the switch. It was not working properly. I replaced it and now everything is working nicely.

    ASUS ac68 lan ports not working

    No. Devices connected to the switch directly don't work. Only devices connected directly to the router work. I don't think the switch is the issue because when I put my old router back everything works as normal.

    ASUS ac68 lan ports not working

    I've loaded the Merlin onto my Asus ac86 router. The wifi is working great but for some reason I can't get the ethernet ports to work. I've connected my laptop via cable directly to one of the ports and that works fine. I've then connected an unmanaged switch to another port on the router...

    Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router (R9000)

    I would assume that this router would be great with dd-wrt for VPN purposes. I want to connect it as a client and if I have understood correctly VPN needs a powerful processor to handle the traffic.

    Best Router for VPN client

    So if I have understood from a VPN point of view, I should get a router with the best cpu possible e.g. quad-core. Or is the speed of the core more important? Is it better to have a dual core with 1.7Ghz or a quad-core with 1 Ghz?

    Best Router for VPN client

    The max I can achieve at the moment is 50Mbps. I'd be happy with approx. 30Mbps.

    Best Router for VPN client

    I am looking for a new WiFi Router. My main criteria is that it should be able to run as a VPN Client (I currently use NordVPN). What are the main specs I should look out for? Do I need a powerful CPU in the router to be able to handle the VPN encryption? Any recommendations? This are my main...
