This thread has given me better search terms to use, so I've come across a bunch of threads from 2009 on forward with similar issues, but not much in the way of common solutions. While going through my parts bin, I also found that I had a 2TB external HD that I've never used. So, I thought I...

I've got the same issue, and until I found this thread I had no idea that it was a common problem on Asus routers. I've got the same router and firmware as you. I've had the same thing happen twice now, where I initially setup the drive and am able to read and write from multiple Windows...

I'm trying to setup an OpenVPN server on my RT-AC68U running Merlin. I realize this thread is a number of years old now and somewhat out of date, but I'm running into trouble and not really sure where to start. I've been following the guide from here, which makes it seem like it is a bit more...

I've looked at OwnCloud a little bit, and that was originally the direction I thought we were going to go, but a consultant we spoke with seemed to think it wasn't necessary and that we'd only need that if we wanted CardDAV or CalDAV functionality, which we don't need since we use an Office365...

I work for a small company where everyone works remotely from different parts of the country. I'm looking to create a shared file server using 2 or 3 NASes that would be located in different locations. The original idea was that each NAS would sync bidirectionally with each other, and the...

I appreciate the input. It is good to know that it doesn't support VPN out of the box. I've been looking at so many different routers with different features that I've begun to lose track. Guess I need to create a matrix in Excel. The hard to use came from a wire cutter article, and I...

I did just get a new modem, which according to the manufacturer is capable of 300mbps+ speeds, but Time Warner has only approved it for 100mbps. They only have one dedicated modem that is approved for the 300mbps plan, and it's not widely available to purchase (amazon says it will ship in 1-2...

It is absolutely true that I don't fully understand the how, but I think I understand and support the why. I remember when I moved to NYC a number of years back it took weeks before I could get Verizon out for an internet install, and at the time I was desperately looking for a job and trying...

I hadn't realized I'd take that kind of performance hit running a VPN through a router, I might want to reconsider and continue to run it locally on the PC. I thought doing it via the router would be good, because I've read many people that claim to get better Netflix performance when...

So I'm guessing any router with OpenWRT should be able to create an open guest network and allow for secure management of it (i.e. keeping it isolated from the secured network, limiting bandwidth, etc...)? I don't know very much about alternative firmwares. I do have an old version of Tomato...

I'd like to get a new router to replace my 8 year old Buffalo G router. I'm interested in the EFFs Open Wireless Movement and have been trying to follow the developments of their router firmware (which is based on CeroWRT). I'm not a developer (or even a power user) and I'm not interested in...
