Will the RT-AC3200 suffice, or do I need a better one? What VPN Service with good speed do you recommend? I only have 50 Mbit internet.

So it is probably better to install the VPN client on separate devices? BTW I have an Asus RT-AC3200 router.

What router is powerfull enough to be configured as a VPN client through NordVPN, so all my traffic runs through a VPN? Traffic also included downloading with torrents and SANBZB.

OMG, what a stupid mistake on my account. I've been running around in circles and keep coming to the same point again and again. The price for moron of the day goes to me! Thanks a lot for putting me on the right track again!

I upgraded to the 4180 firmware a while ago and the last couple of days my router kept dropping internet connection. This morning I decided to do a factory reset and I am now configuring my router. I always set my DHCP pool to 192.168.10.xxx, but the router refuses any change of the DHCP address...

I have my RT-AC3200 for a couple of weeks now and I experienced a lockup or crash twice now. Firtst on the fw it came with and later after updating to the latest 9529. What happens is that one moment everything is fine and then all of a sudden all connection, either wired or wireless, is lost...

Even less reason to "upgrade" from a RT-AC3200 to RT-AC88. Don't have MU-MIMO clients anyway.

Why is the the RT-AC3200 doing so "bad? Is it doing things differently, is it hardware, antennae?

Gonna stay with the stock fw for a while, it is doing pretty well at the moment. Just need a better AC adapter in my laptop. Any suggestions to replace Intel?

Seems to be true in Europe. I am in the Netherlands.

Looks like there is something wrong with those AC 3160s. I have also a laptop with this adapter and have all kinds of issues with it. It connects to a RT-AC3200 router but sometimes it looses internet connection and I get lower downloadspeeds than usual. I only have 40/4 from my ISP and a much...

Just have this router a couple of days and made the observation that 5GHz-1 is much weaker than 5 GHz 2. The Windows 10 icon shows viewer bars an ViStumbler and Xirrus WiFi analyzer show also a weaker signal. Is this because it uses a different channel? Is it currently advisable to use Smart...

So far it is running very good and stable. All wired and wireless clients seem to like this router much better than the RT-AC87 it replaced. Not a single wireless drop.

Didn't have a disconnect so far, but has been on only for a couple of hours. Smart connect is disabled and key rotation is at the default 3600.

Thanks. I've been reading too much the last couple of days. And been trying way too many firmwares and resetting to factory defaults and clearing nvram on my old RT-AC87 that I grew a little afraid to try any firmware on the new RT-AC3200. I followed your advice, didn't do any special tricks...
