New post since I think I used an old thread. Can't find an easy answer after searching. I have an AC68U which is set up as a VPN client for TV purposes in primary room, connected to a 5G box by ethernet. The WiFi signal in a second room is poor, and it's where I want to run a second TV off...

That's what I'm wondering. Also whether the standard French box (4G Bouygues Telecom) can act as part of the media bridge to begin with. I had a go setting the Asus into Bridge mode. It didn't produce a wifi signal or work with ethernet cable to TV, and can't access asus.router.com after it's...

Hi, I'm non-techie on routers (!) – currently just using an AC1900 in VPN mode with ethernet cable to a French router and another ethernet cable to a UK TV – so I can run catchup apps (iPlayer etc) I've now changed my French router to a 4G SIM router for better speed, and that box runs way...

OK Colin, yes 'just' down wasn't accurate! I think I'll try them in order 3, 1 then 2 – since I'm not sure on how to change ports. Will let you know the outcome in several days once I choose a VPN trial and see. Many thanks, Charlie

Hi, so I haven't touched the power button at all, and not between 16:00 and 18:00 yesterday (also no power cut). I knew VPN wasn't working this morning because I have my phone wifi set to the Asus 5G VPN network, quickest way to check what the router is doing i.e. is the wifi/VPN network live...

Here it is minus the password, not a lot to see. And a new syslog, will show me deactivating VPN etc, I also turned port forward on and off, just for a look...

Hi again Colin, there's definitely no advanced setting in my control panel for VPN, all you can do is edit the VPN profile etc. This is falls all under 'Advanced settings'. I've done some grabs of other settings – bear in mind I just let the wizard set this up (which took several go's). So the...

Hi Colin, thought I'd wait and see if issues repeats – and yes, this morning, same deal. Somewhere in the last XX hours it bombed again. Firmware is 3.0.0.4.385_20630 And not sure where to find Advanced Settings? Under the menu, I only see attached: the profile I've set up using the VPN...

That's very odd, I was nowhere near the router at that time. So it suggests if the VPN were to disconnect the Asus would attempt to reconnect automatically? If that's the case, it's doing what I want. Another theory could be that the entire ISP connection drops (it can do in France) and while...

OK, strange isn't it? Maybe the log simply shows the wifi signal as functioning, despite the fact that a device can't connect. And there's no way to tell from the log if the VPN profile I added was Active and then non-Active? In any case, I'll try another VPN provider – shame if it is, since...

OK sorry to clarify. Maybe reboot is the wrong term: I just switched the router and on off and lunchtime today! (After I hooked up to it and downloaded the syslog as you suggested before – so you're right, it wasn't rebooted until after the syslog was downloaded). In terms of connecting, when...

Hi again Colin, so the 11:55am time would be when I finally got the router configured. I connected to the Smart TV by ethernet cable – I won't really be using wifi frequently, since I have a standard French ISP box for that. So using a catch up app on the TV (iPlayer say) or accessing the wifi...

Hi Colin (if you're around), and all. My radio silence is due to returning the AC86U to Amazon...it died completely. Perhaps on a stormy night (though had surge protection) or just failed. Have bought an AC68U instead. And finally have a VPN router connected to a new Smart TV, working fine...

So far the router has been very stable Colin, your tip seems to have done the trick. I'll do a log file if it crashes. Thanks!

Changes made, will see if the VPN remains steady. Otherwise, being non-technical I could schedule a restart daily (not fixing the underlying issue I know). I had a d'oh! moment: I've be been looking at wifi when the Asus with VPN will plug into a Smart TV with an ethernet cable. At which point...
