    You are spot on. You cannot change the laws of physics.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    I found a short explanation for CPU wait states and why they are used. I thought I would share: Wait state - Energy conservation. By removing wait states (idle states) the device (router), has less latency for the CPU receiving/sending data between itself and peripherals at the expense of...

    How about a USB cooling fan with a USB connector? Already wired and ready to go. Here is an example: 2-Pack 40 x 40mm USB Cooling Fan Just watch the current draw (this one is 200mA). There are limits to the current draw on USB ports: USB Power Note a fan speed switch will not reduce the...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    Conspiracy theory :cool: Perhaps Asuswrt-Merlin is the beta test/release candidate. Just because ASUS drops an SDK or source tarball does not mean they have released it for their own product. But Asuswrt-Merlin does. Just kidding. I have no idea how the ASUS release process works. And I am...

    You should check the router System Log for the error (assuming it is a configuration related). Also setting to VPN Client setting "Log verbosity" to, say, "4" will give you more information in the system log. Separately, I found devices using the Guest WiFi would not work with the VPN client...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    I tried looking up the data sheet for the Broadcom BCM4906 and BCM4908 CPUs used in the RT-AC86U and RT-AX86U routers. I could not find them. However, I thought common IC operating temperature ranges were (though it varies between manufacturers): - Commercial: 0 ° to 70 °C - Industrial...

    From what I have read, ChaCha20 is designed ground up for software efficiency on general purpose CPUs and is faster than AES where the CPU does not have inbult CPU instructions for AES calculations. So speeds will depend on your router hardware and CPU it uses. Personally, I am using 386.1...

    Beta iOS 14.3 not working with VPN client on router

    How are defects reported? Is this post sufficient or is there a bug report to be raised?

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    Found the problem. Guest WiFi does not route correctly through router VPN client. I went back to the beginning to think of what testing I could do and I realised all the IOS devices were connected to the Guest WiFi network. The devices always register successfully connected to the Wireless...

    Beta iOS 14.3 not working with VPN client on router

    Flashed 386.1 beta 2 and did factory reset. Configured manually. But still a problem for IOS devices. All Windows and Android devices working fine.

    Beta iOS 14.3 not working with VPN client on router

    I did a IOS "Reset Network Settings" on two of the IOS devices and configured the Wireless access. I tried with the IOS 14.3 feature "Private Address" both on and off. Nothing worked. I do not use mac/ip rules and the only router feature I am using is the VPN client. Interesting I cannot...

    Beta iOS 14.3 not working with VPN client on router

    I had no problem with IOS 14.2 and 384.19 using router VPN client. I was running that configuration for some time (from when 384.19 was released until 386.1 beta 1 and I upgraded). I have now tried an iPad some years old, iPhone 11 and iPhone 7. Unfortunately, I updated all at the same time...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    I posted in separate thread but received no responses. Sorry for the cross-post but I now believe it to be an issue in the RT-AC86U beta firmware. In summary, I cannot access the Internet from iOS phone and iPad devices running 14.3 when running the router RT-AC86U VPN client. The iOS devices...
