    What would be considered more optimal - AX88U / AC68U mesh or Deco M9 Plus

    My take on what I have gleaned from the replies is that they would work together but it's not the best mesh setup you could have.

    What would be considered more optimal - AX88U / AC68U mesh or Deco M9 Plus

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know about Media Bridge mode. I do have some devices upstairs but have them patched downstairs via ethernet with an existing switch already connected. I am not sure that using the old router would benefit me a great deal given I am already cabled up with those...

    What would be considered more optimal - AX88U / AC68U mesh or Deco M9 Plus

    Thanks for the reply. With a wife and two streaming (sometimes screaming) kids I'm not sure I want to embark on experimenting. My days of being able to spend heaps of time on that sort of stuff has since passed me by. I say that as if I start playing around then I won't stop until I get a more...

    What would be considered more optimal - AX88U / AC68U mesh or Deco M9 Plus

    Hi I have a pair of Deco M9 Plus mesh devices that I have deployed at the moment. I have just purchased and switched over to an AX88U router to replace my old but still fully functional AC68U device. The Deco's are running in AP mode with the AX88U doing the rest of the heavy lifting in terms...

    amtm How should I configure an external SSD for amtm

    Hi all I have an AX88U router that I have recently purchased and am going to be installing Diversion as a first script and then likely Skynet / Unbound. I have a 64GB SSD in a USB 3 enclosure and that has been connected to the router. Is there a best practice way that this drive should be...

    Any tutorials or guidance to configure reverse proxy on an AC68U?

    I did think about that but wasn't sure whether that was easier, simpler etc than possibly getting a reverse proxy up and running. If I ran a server then would there be any issue running clients as well with Selective Routing?

    Any tutorials or guidance to configure reverse proxy on an AC68U?

    Hi all Pretty much as the title of the thread says. I am looking to setup a reverse proxy so that I can access my Xpenology NAS that sits behind my AC68U. I have looked at it on the NAS but thought that maybe I would be better to perform this at the router itself instead. A bit more info...

    Need help setting up 2x Asus 86u's in AP mode

    Could you provide some additional detail regarding the shrinking of the IP pool? Did you do this on one or both of your devices and by how much? I am looking to do something similar with a spare AC66U that I have. Cheers

    Access Home Network Remotely Having Recently Purchased a VPN

    I am not fussed either way how to achieve switching between servers, I wasn't sure exactly how the best way to do it was. Is there a benefit of doing 2 VPN clients over just changing the server via the GUI? Thanks for the link as well, I will have a look at that and try to get my head around it.

    Access Home Network Remotely Having Recently Purchased a VPN

    Thanks for the reply. Point 3 refers to the VPN provider having a large number of servers deployed across the globe. Some servers are not configured to allow for P2P while a number are (typically those located in countries that still allow for P2P). So on a day to day basis I would look to...

    Access Home Network Remotely Having Recently Purchased a VPN

    A touch confused by the response, you mention Tor. Are you talking the Tor network there? Or Torguard as a VPN provider? I chose Torguard as my VPN provider as they do not keep logs of users or their activity. That was backed up by various reviews by Torrentfreak over the last 2 - 3 years.

    Access Home Network Remotely Having Recently Purchased a VPN

    I am hoping someone can help answer a query I have having just purchased Torguard as a VPN provider (probably simple questions being asked but this is the first time with a VPN from a provider). I have an AC66U router that is running Merlin's firmware and at the moment I have not set up...

    Merlin 374.43 AC66u OpenVpn help

    Thanks Merlin. I have 2 external people who are family and friends who hook into my network from their home pc's so they can then access my NAS for grabbing family photos so I think that using the self generated cert would probably work fine. At the end of the day it is more secure than...

    Merlin 374.43 AC66u OpenVpn help

    If you do it the way you mentioned and allow the router to create the ovpn file and therefore have an all in one solution in one file, how secure is this in comparison to going through the whole process of making your own ca, server and client cert(s)?
