    Slow wifi 5ghz through vpn, ethernet fast through vpn

    Ok, thanks. I don't have my work laptop with me tonight. But, I did forget to test what I was getting on that over WiFi and VPN on on the laptop. (My personal laptop only has 2.4ghz- I don't care about that though, I am trying to get better speeds before I get a new device otherwise buying it...

    Slow wifi 5ghz through vpn, ethernet fast through vpn

    I configured client 2. It does seem to have helped. Thanks very much for letting me know about this. But, I still feel the results should be a bit better. Of course there will be a loss due to VPN. But these still don't make sense to me: Laptop, Ethernet, no VPN: 50 down Laptop Ethernet, VPN...

    Oh! Sorry, I didn't realize that. Thought anything other than 1 would be good enough. I will put it on 2!

    Slow wifi 5ghz through vpn, ethernet fast through vpn

    Hi, Sorry, I was out of town for a few days longer than expected. I tried to configure it on client 3. Unfortunately, there is no difference in speed. I tested Ethernet routed through vpn and that was very fast as it was before. I then tested over 5ghz wifi and that was really slow like it was...

    Slow wifi 5ghz through vpn, ethernet fast through vpn

    Ok, I will try that over the weekend. But, from the links you sent, I think I can only upgrade to 380.70. I think ac1750 b1 translates to ac66u. Am I reading this correctly? " 380.70 (8-Apr-2018) - NOTE: This will be the final 380.xx release for all models. The RT-N66U and...

    Slow wifi 5ghz through vpn, ethernet fast through vpn

    I run Merlin 380.68. do you guys know of upgrading will help? Are there any changes improvements in this regard in higher versions? The reason I ask is that I found some comments somewhere online while googling this that suggested that it may have been improved. I didn't properly read it though...

    Slow wifi 5ghz through vpn, ethernet fast through vpn

    Writing to confirm: ai protection is not enabled (none of the options). I installed the pia android app on my phone and I am getting around 35 with router VPN off. I am not sure if this tells us anything other than kinda suggesting that my theory that the combination of VPN on router and 5ghz...

    Slow wifi 5ghz through vpn, ethernet fast through vpn

    I don't think so. If the default is not to use it, I didn't enable ai protection. But, I will double check when home after work to be absolutely certain. I thought about the phone being a bottleneck but it is happening on a nice powerful i7 laptop as well. I think the VPN service has an...

    Slow wifi 5ghz through vpn, ethernet fast through vpn

    Hi, Due to some changes in my set up, I now need faster wifi 5ghz with my vpn (PIA). I don't think it's unreasonable based on some tests.. I am getting fast wifi with no vpn and fast vpn through Ethernet, the problem is when I use wifi and VPN, the speeds are dramatically slower. Router...

    OpenVPN DNS leaking

    I had tried this yesterday before I posted and the leak test failed. I tried the steps I posted again today and it worked (no dns leak, tested with the same site both days). The only conclusion I can come to with my highly limited knowledge of this stuff is that I must have inadvertently done...

    OpenVPN DNS leaking

    Hello, sorry to reactivate something from 2 years ago, but I'm a bit of a noob and I want to confirm these are the correct steps: Click "AiProtection" on the left menu DNSFilter tab set it to "ON" put in the vpn's DNS servers here as custom (user defined) DNS 1 and custom (user defined) DNS 2...
