    Is it possible to completely remove AIProtection and other Asus bloatware?

    Why not spicing things up with a poll? :)

    Is it possible to completely remove AIProtection and other Asus bloatware?

    I'm also concern: can I trust TrendMicro? They've got hacked badly, that doesn't seem good for a security firm! So does TrendMicro knows all the websites I visit, how to prevent that but more importantly... why??? It would be nice to have a pinned discussion with all the facts and explanations...

    Security of AsusWRT/Merlin vs OpenWRT/LEDE

    Does OpenWRT offer IPS/IDS (Asus/Merlin firmware does)? I thought that Linksys could have been an higly popular choice over here by offering/advertising support for opensource firmware like OpenWRT.. I thought was a win-win, but I think people still prefere Asus and I wonder why. Thanks!

    what happens if I disable UPnP?

    thank you all, the discussion got really interesting.. but beyond my basic networking understanding. My home network, as most I guess, has many unknown devices (guests, unsecured computers and so on) and perhaps few gadget/devices that can't be trusted. Would UPnP be a security hazard? All of...

    what are the best/greater routers supported by Merlin firmwares?

    I'm liking the RT-AC86U for the CPU while not seeing the utility for my use case of an 8 ports hub on the router (88U/3100 modells). I'm surprised there's no Asus model with WPA3 or 10G ports there yet, I guess they might show up soon :)

    Bitdefender box 2 with a properly set router: overkill?

    Sorry I should have read what I wrote before posting.. my concern was what happens without the Bitdefender box: how heavy it's AiProtection IPS, your code (if they can run together) on the Asus router CPU/RAM or if it's better to offload with such a device (but I'm tending to prefer a open...

    Bitdefender box 2 with a properly set router: overkill?

    Hi :) would adding a Bitdefender box 2 to the network a bit overkill if running Asus router with Merlin firmware + AiProtection IPS + Diversion + Skynet? (sorry I didn't read the docs yet as I might think some to these may have overlapping functionality). My concern is that all of the above...

    didn't find a review on snb about version 2 which seems a huge improvement!
