    Openvpn speeds, second core openvpn code on RT-AC87U ?

    Actually wondering now if that was a fluke. I opened the box a few days ago and just setup the VPN and got almost 70, 5 times within an hour. Now made it the main router with all the config from scratch and cannot get past 50. I will keep experimenting over the weekend. It's above my budget too...

    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    Don't rely on that, check the linksys website. I would do a factory reset first within your firmware, then manually download/upload the latest firmware from the website, flash, and do factory reset again. Then configure. If that does not work, it might be the unit.

    RT-AC88U

    Wow, just fired mine up and configured the VPN client and get amazing speed, much better than the R7000 OC'd. I put Merlin on it. Need to test the USB 3 speed and a few other things but looks like a keeper even at stock speed. This thing runs at 1400,800 stock, when I tried to give it 1500 or...

    Couple of questions regarding overclocking the RT-AC88U...

    Cannot seem to get this one to overclock on a quick try. 'nvram get clkfreq' tells me 1400,800 which was to be expected, but when I change the cpu speed I cannot seem to get it to boot properly. Tried 1600 and 1500. CPU temp is 66C idling.

    Openvpn speeds, second core openvpn code on RT-AC87U ?

    I think I read in Merlin's changelog that when you set the VPN clients 1-5 on Merlin that the uneven numbers 1,3,5 use CPU core 1 and the even ones (2,4) use core 2 for the VPN. I switched my config to client 4 (core 2) and it got a nice boost. There is also the issue of which encryption to...

    Couple of questions regarding overclocking the RT-AC88U...

    Hi there, have one as well now and would like to try. Are you sure the memory is running at 800 mhz? There used to be a command to check the mem speed but I forgot to write it down. You would probably need to commit and reboot. If it does not restart, reset. The ASUS routers used to be virtually...

    Linksys WRT1900AC V2 Firmware Ver. 2.0.6.166464

    I used these guys on the Asus 68U and they help with the reception on the roof where it was not possible to bring the AP closer to the client... ;-) Not sure about a 4-pck for $99, a bit steep. On the plus side, I just got a refurb version 1 for $125 from NCIXUS but they are back up to $170...

    RT-AC 87 U wall mountable?

    Those holes don't look that different from the r7000. Anyway, 2 mounting holes for sure. If there is a will there is a way. Sent using Tapatalk

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.54_2 is now available

    I have an AC68R with 378.54_2 and an AC87U w/ 55 alpha 1. The site survey on the AC87U sees only about half the networks the AC68U sees. I tried this a few times now. Both routers sit next to each other right now while I am playing with them. The radios work fine on both, I get about close to...

    Using a 2nd router for VPN traffic?

    I think this might have to do with the IP address setup. I tried a few times to make this all work with a third router and sunbathing and it was a pain, never got to work. If network 1 and network 2 are completely unrelated I think they might be separated. If the IP address in network 2 are...

    Selective VPN routing based on IP address on R7000?

    And the selective routing seems to work fine then on the R7000. I only tested for 10 min earlier though.

    PIA VPN service (Private Internet Access) on Asus RT-AC87 woes

    If you run Merlin you can just upload the OVPN config file, add your user/pw and you are almost good to go. Use this setup for Tomato/OpenVPN, it will work with MerlinWRT as well...

    oVPN real throughput

    I don't know the exact encryption cyphers I used as I went with Tomato on the router and the "use default" setting for the cypher. I contacted PIA and they said it's then set by the firmware, but I haven't found an answer what the default cypher is. I believe it's more the 128 bit version. I...
