Mine takes a little more than that, measuring the consumption directly, between the power supply and the router, I saw 0.95 amps which, at 12 volts, makes 11.4 watts. That makes my RT-BE92U the biggest load of the ones required to keep my internet connection working. Even my desktop computer...

I've tried asking Asus support but just got the "use our power supply or else" type response. All I asked was what are the **actual** power supply requirements for their routers. I.e. what are the maximum and minimum voltages for the router to operate. I want to run from batteries if I can so...

I'm running asuswrt-merlin on an RT-BE92U and an RT-AC86U. I'm looking at providing power using a UPS as we do have the occasional power cut here. The RT-BE92U in particular is quite a power hungry beast. Are there any things (processes, unnecessary hardware, etc.) that one can turn off to...

OK, thanks, that was it. For some reason it was enabled, I'm pretty sure I didn't enable it. (I do have a USB drive as I use entware and opkg).

I am trying to get a new (to me) RT-BE92U configured. I ran nmap on the WAN side and it shows that minidlna is running with port 8200 open. Is minidlana installed automatically with 3006.102.5? What's the easiest way of uninstalling it? Can I just use opkg to remove it?

I'm in the UK, I don't think there's any UK ISPs listed. Yes, but installing the latest asuswrt-merlin makes that disappear, that's the problem that made me ask the question! :)

OK, thanks, that's brilliant. There's currently a problem with the connection so I can't try it out yet, I'll report if it works when I'm able.

OK, thanks, what should the other parameter be set to? Leave it at 0?

I have a new (to me) RT-BE92U that I'm aiming to use with my new fibre broadband connection. The ONT box uses PPOE to connect and it requires a VLAN ID in addition to the user name and password. Installing the Asuswrt-Merlin software (version 3006.102.53) means that the VLAN ID setting in the...

Nothing really, that's why I asked the question! :-) I just didn't have any idea of throughput. I doubt if I'll be pushing its limits especially as much of what's connected to it is hard-wired rather than WiFi.

Brilliant! Thank you for such a quick reply. That means I can continue using the RT-AC86U. Well, it will have to change roles, I currently have a DSL-AC68U running the Gnuton variant handling my VDSL. Not having to deal with a new router as well as a new connection will simplify the...

I am shortly going to get fibre broadband connected to my home. I'll probably go for a 900Mb/s connection though faster and slower ones are available and router performance may affect my choice. Which asuswrt-merlin routers will comfortably manage 900Mb/s throughput? I currently have an...

Can someone clarify/extend this a little please. I assume that "The RT-AX59U is a MediaTek device." means that the RT-AX59U uses Mediatek hardware. Is a consequence of this that asuswrt-merlin simply can't support it? I am just about to get a fibre connection to my house and one of the ISPs...

What I do with my router (and Raspberry Pi) behind a CGNAT (4G mobile) connection is to get the Raspberry Pi to set up an ssh reverse tunnel to a system where I have access and then I can ssh into the Raspberry Pi from outside.

Did you (OP) ever get any farther with this? I.e. did you manage to get past the stage where everything you try just returns "operation failed: Permission denied"? I am at the same place, the only command that works is 'ls' which shows the sort of expected things in / on a Linux system. Even...
