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...

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!

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...

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, it is client 1. I am currently out of town but will try this and let you know.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Forgot to mention, qos is turned off. Also attaching config

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...

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...

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...

Ok, thank you Colin. I will try these things. Appreciate all your help and extremely quick responses!

Sorry, was out of town again. Full signal, 72mbps.
