    Per device VPN on ASUS RT-AC86U

    Hi there! Is there any way to not route the traffic of some devices through Asus merlin? I have a couple of IoT devices that I don't want to be routed via my VPN. If this is possible, how can it be done?

    GT AC5300 - Splash screen ??

    I had the same problem that you are having right now. I could not get it fixed even with a hard reset using the asus utility. Furthermore, the wifi itself stopped working soon after. I'd suggest that you send back the router as soon as possible to ASUS or wherever you bought it from.

    RT-AC86U Pricing??

    It depends on your needs whether you need to get an ASUS RT-AC86U. In case you need a simple wireless router with a lot of bandwidth, then I don't think the 86U is something that you need, but something that you might want. However, the main feature of the 86U is its hardware accelerated crypto...

    Maximising OpenVPN speeds with Dual WAN on ASUS RT-AC86U

    Hi there! I have an ASUS RT-AC86U. Currently, when I am using Dual WAN, I get speeds of about 120 Mbps, with just a single WAN, my speed is limited to 60 Mbps. However, when I turn on OpenVPN (single client connected to a VPN server) with dual WAN enabled the speed does not exceed 60 Mbps when...

    ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

    Yes, I did. The restore utility was successful, but nothing was fixed. I had the same issue which was that the router was not even booting up. I returned it yesterday, and got a RT-AC86U, which works fine for my current purposes.

    More Problems with Asus GT 5300

    I think the ASUS interface on the other routers are fine. The issue is that the interface on the GT AC-5300 is just unreliable.

    Did exactly that. The power LED starts flashing slowly, and then you have to use the software utility to do the reset. It did not work, still cannot get WiFi to work; doesn’t even turn on.

    Hey guys, today my router just stopped working. I tried doing a hard reset with the software on windows, however, that did not fix the issue either. The router just died, the WiFi won’t start up, so hard to do the hard reset via Ethernet; no dice. This has to be the buggiest router I’ve ever...

    Connection dropping issue with L2TP on Asus RT-87U

    Hi guys! I have an issue with my router with L2TP enabled, and that is the connection keeps dropping after a certain amount of time. I do not face the same issue with OpenVPN (using merlin). L2TP gives me great speed, and that is the reason I want to keep using it, but this connection dropping...

    Maximum OpenVPN throughout

    Hi there guys! I have always found this forum to be supremely useful when it came to finding a router. I've read a lot of posts routers that have good support for VPN, especially about the Asus RT-86U. However, I wanted to gain a better understanding of what routers had fast and reliable...

    Quick question, @tazbytes, what is the max throughput that you get when connected via OpenVPN? Also, what are the configurations?
