AC86U stable firmware 8/11/2019 after downloading files for a few minutes it will say no internet in windows and the only resolution is to disconnect and reconnect the wifi at which it will magically work fine again. How to begin diagnosing the issue?

Does it work with your version?

Not sure why but a guest network with intranet access enabled is still preventing guest devices from accessing apple tv. Works fine on all other bands as long as they are not guest networks, I thought enabling intranet access should allow it to see other devices? 384.12 86u

Why not put the router and cables in a custom wooden box to make it look like a piece of furniture?

Except two AC86U will get you the same ram and processing power but double the range :)

Too bad a lot of VPN providers have removed PPTP support. https://nordvpn.com/blog/l2tp-pptp-protocol-update/ "On December 1st [2018], NordVPN’s servers will stop supporting L2TP/IPsec and PPTP connections." "PPTP protocols are largely obsolete. Because they are so insecure, they have become...

I think in terms of Asus the 86U is the no brainer because of the 1.8ghz dual core. I would think placing it against the wall would actually save more space, but why not just lay it on the front side if you insist on not having it vertical? In my experience out of the box 2.4/5 the AX88U had...

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Policy-based-routing What is the effect of making an exception for the router? I thought everything would be going through the VPN anyway even with making such an exception?

I think adding the word Force makes a lot of sense. Makes me wonder, theoretically could a VPN provider selectively not encrypt certain traffic? New Question #1 Online somewhere they recommended routing the default gateway/router IP to WAN for better performance... but I don't really understand...

From what I understand the RT-AC86U and RT-AX88U (both Merlin compatible) should have the best OpenVPN throughput (for Asus routers). From my quick basic tests there is really no AC performance differences between the two models and simply moving the router 1 foot higher or moving the antenna...

I have all VPNs connected but Redirect Internet traffic to "No" on all of them. I just disconnected and reconnected them all and all traffic goes strait out the WAN until I hit apply on one of the VPN configs so it seems like the behavior is the last VPN config you hit apply on? Does this mean...

When I have client 1-5 all connected to 5 different VPN servers with the default settings on a fresh install, what exactly is the behavior? For me it appears to randomly direct all my devices to one of the VPN servers at random.
