    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    What's a simple and effective reflector? Sounds pretty obvious now you mention it.

    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    Yes I never said the Belkin/Linksys is perfect. I'm happy with AC speeds when I'm 3 feet away and in that regard, not seen many complaints about it. Probably great for many people's home wifi. Not great for anyone relying on AX WiFi.

    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    When I replied "true" to @Tech9 I was specifically referring to his comment about Broadcom and obviously when I refer to Asus I refer to Broadcom models not being popular with OpenWRT Because of closed driver as he wrote

    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    The Belkin / Linksys is the most recommended at the moment on OpenWRT I have one. Works great with AC WiFi Only issue is AX WiFi No other issues - what are you referring to?

    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    True, probably why Asus routers are not popular in OpenWRT The Belkin RT3200 (same as LinkSys E8450) + MediaTek drivers, I have running is popular in OpenWRT and is more flexible

    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    Thanks I had tried this before I was able to get perfect with OpenWrt , setting 1mV output was great. Small range just for this small room. I don't need beyond this room OpenWrt allows this via the web UI Would be great if this level of Tx power adjustment could be added to Merlins GUI... not...

    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    I've been using the slider for a decade already in stock Asus firmware I want to try Merlin to reduce to lower than the minimum slider (see the code above which i found on this forum but it is from a long time ago) But don't know if this method is supported anymore Hence my query to @RMerlin

    RT-AC86U Merlin Tx Power

    Hi @RMerlin Can we still adjust Tx Power via SSH using: nvram set wl_txpower=1 nvram set wl0_txpower=1 nvram set wl1_txpower=1 nvram commit Values on a scale of 1 to 100 ? I want to reduce my Tx power because I sit 5 feet from it and only need WiFi in this room. Thanks!

    "Redirect Internet traffic" setting in OpenVPN Client configuration

    Many thanks again. But with these 3 OpenVPN clients I have setup, I only have one 'activated' at any one time. So if I want to change OpenVPN server, I just de-activate one and activate the server I want. Do you mean this is not a common way to use different OpenVPN clients?

    "Redirect Internet traffic" setting in OpenVPN Client configuration

    I seem to be having some issues with internet not working at all with OpenVPN connected. So I have 3 x OpenVPN clients setup (3 server locations each with separate .ovpn files uploaded). And for each of these clients I have followed your instruction, adding LAN_IPs 192.168.1.0/24 0.0.0.0 VPN...

    "Redirect Internet traffic" setting in OpenVPN Client configuration

    Brilliant, this is all crystal clear now. I can't thank you enough. Thanks to your help , it wasn't as daunting as I first though. I think I may 'up'-grade my RT-AC88U to an RT-AC86U at some point, as I read it features AES-NI, for better OpenVPN performance?

    "Redirect Internet traffic" setting in OpenVPN Client configuration

    Thanks so much again. Final question after reading your advice here and the links you shared: Will "LAN_IPs 192.168.1.0/24 0.0.0.0 VPN" also mean the router itself will only access internet through OpenVPN? Or does the router itself need a separate entry in that table?

    "Redirect Internet traffic" setting in OpenVPN Client configuration

    Thank you kindly. If I select "Policy Rules (Strict)" and I enable “Block routed clients if tunnel goes down” , do I need to add IP addresses in the table below? As mentioned earlier, I don't want any devices on my network to have internet access when OpenVPN goes down.

    "Redirect Internet traffic" setting in OpenVPN Client configuration

    Hi @RMerlin I've just joined the forum, after installing the latest firmware 384.10_2 on my RT-AC88U. My OpenVPN is setup and working (yay). I had a similar question about "redirect internet traffic" in OpenVPN Client. If the VPN goes down: I would like all internet for all devices on my...
