    AC3200 bad purchase?

    Thank you all for your comments. I'd rather go with the AC86U because I'd like to be in the main stream in terms of firmwares, updates, etc. Now I need to figure out the return procedure

    AC3200 bad purchase?

    I need a quick answer please because I might be able to cancel the purchase. I’ve just bought an ASUS RT-AC3200 that was at the same price than the RT-AC86U AC2900 and than a pack of 2 RT-AC66U B1. I have an RT-AC56 that has passed to EOL by Asus (although it´s still advertised in their USA...

    Just got an AC68U. Which merlin build to use?

    camilaacolide, are you sure that it does not change power? I've found this http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showpost.php?p=135846&postcount=136 It may be on a differente FW, but it looks like the antenna power has different settings according to the country.

    instead of the sticky, see the changes here (first page) http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=22627. Much easier to read. You also have the experimental builds (which I did't try yet).

    Just got an AC68U. Which merlin build to use?

    This is going beyond my limited knowledge. As far as I understood, if you change the "bios" files (I guess they are called CFE) you'd get both the channels and the ability to increase power. May be you are seeing the 0% to 100% slide. But it would be on a higher power (100% of whatever, I...

    Just got an AC68U. Which merlin build to use?

    You'd better go with Merlin's latest one, unless you want to "play" with the channels options and/or the antennas power (do not confuse with overclocking that is related to the CPU and memory speed) which cannot be done with the latest one due to a change in the way Assus handles some FCC...

    SSH or OpenVPN

    I need some guidance, please.:confused: There are several pieces of information going around, but finally I can’t understand the difference between SSH or OpenVPN in easy terms. The pages that I’ve found about the differences are either too technical or unclear. I’m using an Asus AC56U...

    Setting Up And Using OpenVPN On ASUS Routers

    A message to Tim Tim, I have no idea if it is a mistake in the article or something else.:confused: At the bottom of page 2, the picture above "OpenVPN client - connecting" has a "WARNING" message saying this configuration may cache passwords in memory - use the autho.... If I were...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    Sure, txt is bullet proof in this case. Noric, I'm not a newbie in general, but in terms of routers, linux, etc. I'm totally a newbie. So with that in mind, I'd have to start looking for notepad++, etc. And it would have been highly likely that I'd have save something by mistake...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    Probably it is already done and I didn't see it. What if you add to the script a command so as to get a txt with the settings, just in case? At http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=22822 it is mentioned: nvram show | sort > /mnt/sda1/settings.txt I'd assume that inside...

    AC56U or AC86U (or P)?

    Thank you all for your help and quick responses. I guess that I'll do the following. I'll wait some days hoping that the AC68 price decreases. Hopefully they release a new AC5000 (LOL) and its price drops. If not, it's highly likely that I'd go for the AC56, with almost no technical...

    AC56U or AC86U (or P)?

    huotg01, the reproach was to myself. It was very clear that it was not your intention. It turned out that I had looked at your first link, but I didn't come to a conclusion with that one. If price difference was lower than 100 (or put differently if AC68 was not the double than AC56)...

    AC56U or AC86U (or P)?

    Houtg01 I sware I did the "AC56" search in this forum! I took a look at 3 pages of threads... entering in each one that looked like this one. I might have done it only in this sub-forum. For sure I passed the one with "what is dual core?" title. I'll take a look at the links provided...

    AC56U or AC86U (or P)?

    I’m about to start a trip to USA and I like to purchase a Wireless router. I was thinking about the AC68U (may be the “P” but I need to use an Amazon gift card and it is not there yet) or the AC56U. I’m replacing my ISP g wireless modem, so clearly I’m not a high end user, but I’d like to...
