    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.11SF-HW

    Also. Is it possible to separate all 3 bands (SSIDs) or at least 2 bands on Voxels`s FW? I have tried config set wla_ssid="NAME YOUR 5GHZ NETWORK" config commit but it will be back to original only 1 SSID after reboot. nvram commit Also doesnt help (back to original after reboot).

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.11SF-HW

    I am trying to setup WG client on my RBR50 and newest Voxel FW, but unfortunately Voxels instructions are not very noob or non-linux users friendly. Is there anyone kind enough to get me through the process step by step? I would kindly ask for all needed terminal commands for identifying newly...

    New wireless setup

    That fact alone opens plenty of possibilities and means that I don't have to stick with a handful machines just because they're equipped with SOC supporting HW Acc Cypher much required for barely acceptable OVPN speeds. I do apologize if I kept my posts in rather sour tone and against OVPN, but...

    New wireless setup

    In other words, I don't want to spend hundreds of $$$ for new hardware just to get decent results with VPN, when better alternative is available. That being said, I'll have to wait with final conclusion untill I'll get to setting up WG on my rock solid DDWRT machine and testing it for myself.

    New wireless setup

    I've got familiar with WireGuard documentation, benchmarks and realised quickly it's the future of the virtual private networking. VPN providers recognized it as a valid option for a good reason and adapted very quickly by adding it's support to their offer (my provider including). When it comes...

    New wireless setup

    Events, tests and experiments from this week brought me to one conclusion. It was very silly of me to get so tangled with OVPN, it wasn't worth the hassle at all. OVPN protocol was, is and will be nothing but the bottleneck in most systems and I should probably go with different solution from...

    New wireless setup

    AX92U meant to be equipped with Broadcom BCM4906 @ 1.8 GHz quad core, capable of HW Accelerated Crypto, but I am not convinced now if that functionality is fully supported in bare AsusWRT or does it need Merlin's magic to fly.. So far I wasn't able to squeeze speeds I was having with AC86U on...

    New wireless setup

    Forgot about them so fast. Not necessarily because they were so bad, but simply because they were not fit for my purpose. Tested both R7800 and WRT3200 with stock and 3rd party FWs (DDWRT, OpenWRT, Voxel) and they never exceeded 20Mbit Down and few Mbit Up. I am sorry for lack of detailed...

    New wireless setup

    On a good days, when AC86U worked I had full 200 Down and 20 Up speeds with decent ping as well. My already returned 86U was dropping WLAN on both bands way to often. Spotty coverage and random failed reboots became it's nail to the coffin. However I've learned more about my requirements in...

    New wireless setup

    After first day of testing both units, I have to say just one thing. Both going back to shop. In fact they were both doomed regardless of great WLAN coverage, stability and good CPUs, as they lacking very needed HW Acceleration to deal with AES-256-GCM. AC86U is the only budget option for now...

    New wireless setup

    Had my eyes on some pfSence appliances (SG3100, SG1100 and a few no names) and some decent WLAN APs, but decided against it. For the future reference, would you be so kind and suggest a good and reliable combination of both for a beginner's home OVPN/WLAN needs? I would treat it with great...

    New wireless setup

    You're all very kind with all your comments on my humble query. I love to learn and experiment with my networking needs, however at this moment I only need a simple remedy and substitute for somewhat buggy/faulty AC86U. Thank you for suggesting Nightawk X4S and Armor Z2. Hence both are nearly...

    New wireless setup

    Kind members. With all due respect I have given my AC86U last chance today and it failed even beyond my expectations. Loaded official, latest FW. Done proper reset. Went through initial setup and few minutes later router died. I won't be touching it again, it deserves its faith. In regards to...

    New wireless setup

    Good evening kind members. If you don't mind, I would like to anask you for an advice on a new wireless setup. Untill now I have been using N66U for years, recently upgraded to AC86U with mixed experiences. I have been patient with it, but regardless if it's on new or old versions of FW or CFW...
