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

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.

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

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?

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

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...

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

Hello? ANyone can help with above? Please

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!

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?

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...

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?

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?

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.

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...
