    Fastest Asus Router with AES-NI for ExpressVPN

    I used the stock OVPN config and ExpressVPNs installation instructions and do feel your pain with Lightway. There are instructions online to manually extract the private and public keys and generate the WireGuard config for NordVPN and their NordLynx protocol seems to be compatible with...

    Fastest Asus Router with AES-NI for ExpressVPN

    I went through almost the exact same scenario you describe. I bought a R7000P, flashed it with ExpressVPNs software and was disappointed by the throughput, around 60Mbps. I exchanged it for an AX86U and have been getting around 200Mbps throughput on ExpressVPN and a little less on NordVPN. The...

    AX88U Static IP devices can't connect to router?

    Instead of using static IP config on the client, try moving to assigning static leases via DHCP. As stated above your issue is most likely layer 2 (ARP) related. You can check your ARP table on the clients and that will tell you if they can "see" the routers MAC address by having a complete...

    Asus Zenwifi XT8 set up

    Don’t you just love it when you ask a question and someone responds with RTFM? The answer to your question is that at least one WiFi 6 (5ghz) band will be available to clients and your clients that are wifi6 (802.11ax) capable will be able to use this band. The XT8 has two WiFi 6 bands namely...
