    ASUS RT-AX88U wifi vs LAN

    Am I not correct that once I enable DNS on the router every device behind it uses that DNS? Either way, in PC settings, they are both set to obtain DNS automatically. Is there a way to flush the DNS on the router? I only know the cmd for on the PC.

    ASUS RT-AX88U wifi vs LAN

    I am using the ASUS factory firmware and not routing anything specific via the VPN. I am using VPN client on the router so that my entire network is using it. Could this somehow be a DNS issue?

    Browse different region

    amazon.com>prime video>acorn network will not load locally or with a Canadian VPN. However, I figured out if I set up a second VPN client connection with a US server it works as required.

    Asus RT-AX88U router and VPN

    It appears I was on the wrong path as the instructions I was fed were not for what I was trying to accomplish. I found the correct install procedure on the NordVPN site. Please disregard this thread.
