    ASUS AX68U 5GHz Band Dropping / Disappearing

    after updating to 386.7, i couldn't see the 5ghz ssid on my asus pce-ax58bt until i found this thread. changed it from auto to 161 and disabled 160ghz. (well, it smells like a channel availability check )

    migrating from asus ac68u to 88u

    thanks. the nvram save/restore utility did the job. i ran it in migration mode. the only thing it didn't copy was the ca cert for the vpn client. rest was normal/expected (changing ssid name after the migration)

    migrating from asus ac68u to 88u

    is there a simple way? can i restore the saved config from ac68u to 88u if both are tunning latest merlin firmware? my custom changes are dhcp reservations , port forwarding , openvpn client with custom policy routing (like more than 50lines) so its gonna be annoying doing it manually

    some noob questions (openvpn/winmtr displays)

    hi, when openvpn is turned on. even though the destination ip to test (eg: bliz servers) are policy set to use WAN, the winmtr/pathping/tracert display basically returns no host name and no packets (using ipvanish). it only works as normal when i turn off openvpn how can I get around this?

    Will ASUS next High End router RT-AC5300 be supported by Merlin ?

    I was thinking of getting this router but holding off until its supported by merlin. seems the wtfast gpn vpn is free for life (of router?) (meaning I can cancel my ipvanish subscription?? hmm)...
