    VPN on Router Failing when Connecting to Disney Plus

    If after trying Colin's suggestion you can connect then contact NordVPN and ask them if they have a server that hasn't been blocked by Disney.

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.6.2 -Aug 24, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

    I can't get the code you imbeded in Post #13 to execute. I upgraded to Beta 3 yesterday using the code in post 11 however when I tried to execute it again today is also failed. Beta 3 seemed to be working fine for me. Set the refresh interval to 90 seconds and the threshold to 600 ms...

    OpenVPN vs Wireguard

    WG seems to be more stable on my router than OpenVPN. Speed is always better using WG . With WG clients I often get download speeds of 500 - 600 Mbps. A Open VPN client typically is in the range of 150 - 180 Mbps. In your case TVs connecting probably have just 100 Mbps Ethernet ports...

    Couldn't get RT BE92U to link to CODA56

    Did you register the new modem with Comcast using the phone App? If yes then reboot modem and when it is fully on line power cycle your router and see if you get on line.

    Good to know thanks. In the interim while you see if additional features are needed, I have increased the Ping maximum to 999.

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.5.0 -Aug 3, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Thread locked/closed)

    Trying to isolate a potential issue with WG clients. Currently using VPMON v1.50 I am getting several notification emails daily that my WG clients are reconnecting. Prior to having notifications setup for WG clients it appeared that my WG clients were rock solid and never restarted. I am...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 is now available

    The one thing I have notice that started with Beta 3 and is continuing into latest release version is that WG VPN clients seem to drop and reconnect daily or multiple times daily while previously it seemed WG VPN clients could go for weeks. This is happening with various servers in several...

    Need Advice - 140m Ethernet Run Between Buildings

    Certainly, there is the potential for problems. Many people have detached garages and other out buildings all powered through the main building and manage to get by. In most cases if the power feed was done according to code and if there are problems they will be hard to diagnose but...

    Need Advice - 140m Ethernet Run Between Buildings

    Lots of paths for lightning to follow into a building besides a copper Ethernet cable between buildings. First, most people probably don't have a fiber optic Ethernet drop. Most people probably have metallic coaxial cable running from the pedestal to the demarc on their home. Some people...

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.5.0 -Aug 3, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Thread locked/closed)

    Came to same solution independently. I resolved by whitelisting just a single IP 208.95.112.1 which had been blocked multiple times from the router and also was causing a problem with Skynet and generating an error message Over_Query_Limit. Will upgrade VPMON and if necessary further...

    Very nice thank you. I owe you a piece of cake and a round of drinks. One thing I noticed after going to the latest Beta as the exit city for both Open & WG clients are now all displayed as undetermined. Tried starting and stopping one WG client both in VPMON and router, monitoring slot and...

    Need Advice - 140m Ethernet Run Between Buildings

    The distance is outside specs but possibly close enough to work. Buy quality cable with solid copper conductors in the length you need and test data rate. If good enough bury/install the cable between buildings. Install Ethernet surge protectors at both ends of the cable, If possible and...
