    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.8.2 -Nov 23, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

    One feature of VPMON I am finding very useful is restarting my WG clients in the middle of the night. My experience with StrongVPN WG clients is after a few days the download speeds would drop from 600+Mbps to as low as 150 Mbps. This was consistent for three clients connecting to servers...

    Skynet My internet speed dropped with Skynet on

    Depends on how many custom lists you are loading as well as your router's processor. Running the basic defaults on my AX88 Pro I don't notice any slowdown. On my previous AX86S with a list of 26 banned countries the slowdown was very noticeable, so I went back to defaults only.

    YazDHCP YazDHCP v1.2.4 [2025-Nov-21] - Feature expansion of DHCP assignments (increasing limit on the number of DHCP reservations)

    While you are working on your rules you can accomplish temporarily most of what you want to do by setting your DHCP pool to just one or two addresses maybe even none then assign every device you want to allow to connect to your network a sticky/static IP. It can be circumvented but as...

    AX88U and improvements for Wireguard VPN.....

    I have an AX88Pro on which I run WG clients. Download speed from ISP tests at 2.1 Gig when running speed test on router. Often when testing speed of WG clients on router download speed tests in excess of 600 Mbps to both close and intermediate distant servers .

    Skynet Skynet v8 - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I currently have no problems on my AX88Pro with defaults only, however previously when running my AX86 and a list of 26 banned countries my throughput was noticeably reduced. Removed the country bans and went with default lists and throughput issue eliminated. Is it possible that one of the...

    Best firmware for AC68U/TM-Ac1900

    They were designed to run on their own special branch of ASUS firmware. While they could be hacked to run on other firmware discussion of how to do so was banned on this site. These routers haven't had a software update for many years but running them as APs on your network is probably OK...

    Running a TP-Link TL-SG105E Switch off USB Power?

    Are you sure the power supply is 6V? I have the same series switch except it has 8 ports and it requires 9V. Also the same voltage requirement for an 8 port unmanaged TP-Link switch. My switches are 7-8 years old so it is quite possible the power requirements have changed. If the...

    using end of life wi-fi access points behind router

    Newer routers can run better WiFi security such as WPA3. WPA/WPA2 is a potential issue only if you think that your neighbor or someone else within radio range is going to hack into your network. With a secure paraphrase this isn't something that is likely to happen so use the strongest...

    IoT Guest network issue (anyway script to create guest network?)

    Some very old IoT devices seem to only able to connect or maintain connections if in addition to WPA you enable TKIP-AES encryption which unfortunately doesn't seem to be supported anymore on ASUS routers running Merlin but I'm not sure about stock firmware. While you can select TKIP the...
