@L&LD Thanks again. 4) Fair enough. We only use VPN for certain devices/services and want to get as much speed out of it. 8) Ok. I guess trial an error than. Hopefully we won't have to ask too many questions. @Adamm Thank you for Skynet and thanks for the answer. Do you recommend any...

@Tech9 Hey thanks for reply. Yes, I have an idea what Skynet is. I assumed Adamm is the author and I did find his lengthy post on Skynet. "Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements .. Skynet is the first comprehensive IP banning and security tool exclusively for Asus Devices.... etc."...

Hello, Looking to possibly replace a GT-AC5300 with either the GT-AXE11000 or GT-AXE16000. I'm thankful Merlin supports these two routers and plan to use it along with Skynet instead of Asus AIProtection. Some questions I have: 1) Is Skynet currently being updated and compatible with either...

Lucky my still works and its usually firmware problems with me. They would fix a problem and then introduce a new one with the next release. A solution is usually slow and I’d be forced to use a year-old firmware in between their yearly release cycle at times. Makes me worried to stay with Asus...

@Tundy Mundy It’s so shining… is that with or without the plastic still on? That’s supposed to light up there, right? Anyways, thank you! Looks like it’s maybe a tad wider & deeper but may work... I just cannot justify the cost of $700 though. I’ll wait a couple months for the firmware to...

Those that have upgraded from a GT-AXE11000 to the newer GT-ACE16000... are both units the same size or is the newer unit larger? I have the much older GT-AC5300 (about a foot wide) on a top shelf of a cabinet that’s over a foot and a half wide and two feet tall. It doesn’t have a door nor the...

Using NordVPN. I always reset to factory after every upgrade and reconfigure manually. There's something in the new firmware that isn't playing nicely with NordVPN. No matter how I setup the router, as soon as I configure a working VPN connection, should the router be rebooted, the VPN...

Thanks, but already found it and yes, I know it's old, been running a much older firmware. As you stated, my setup is part of that "small overall % of users" and latest stable won't work with my local dns but this beta does. Now just today, I've tried the newest release. What a mistake. Now my...

How did you manage to get that beta version? Asus's site and router ui shows only: 3.0.0.4.386_42643-g16dc577

@ASUSWRT_2020 Sorry if this has been brought up in this thread but it's quite long and I apologize should I have missed it. I have a situation where the setup consists of two Asus routers: GT-AC5300 & RT-AC68U. The GT is the main router and RT is setup as an access point. The setup is NOT using...

I was originally worried about that when I had my GT that's why I decided on selling it and replacing it with pfSense last fall. Besides, my GT had been RMA'ed and still same problem and still random reboots with the NEW replacement. Modifying the ovpn and adding "dhcp-option DNS x.x.x.x" didn't...

Hey Toad004. I had a similar problem with my GT as well when using NordVPN (on all devices), which NordVPN has acknowledge the problem but has yet to release a fix other than recommending the use of their VPN software. Amazon would load very slowly or constantly time out with some error about...

Liked your original reply with example of your config file you originally posted yesterday. Think that could be helpful to others. Any ways, fixed my problem. Apparently it was server maintenance. I'm able to reconnect to original server without issue. And yes, no VPN is 100% up. Last fall, or...

I'm curious. I have NordVPN as well. Connection has been solid for months but as of late, have lost connection a few times and forced to seek out and different servers. May I see your setup? I've never really had the need to modify their ovpn file in a while. Thanks.

Yes, the Nuc8 is overkill and a waste of its GPU/thunderbolt 3 ports (etc) in such an environment but the Protectli i5 I had originally purchased cost about the same but had an older CPU. Amazon had the Nuc8 (BOXNUC8i7HNK1) at $679.99 with an additional discount of $30 a while back; the...
