Get one that gives you the option of Wireguard Client (even if you choose OpenVpn) plus a feature that Asus calls Fusion. I was recently looking to buy one and researched about 20 Asus models. 10 have both Wireguard Client mode and Fusion. Fusion allows you to set up to 4 separate tunnels...

That is correct. Routers can easily be changed and probably will be. As distances running cable inside the house are relatively short, I'd go for cat8. Might as well future proof as much as possible. 20 years ago cat5 was the fastest and more than sufficient for speeds at the time, but not...

Sounds interesting and like you know your way around. I can't help but would like to know what your "guess" is.

Hi. I just bought a TUF-AX5400 because my existing Linksys MX5300 (main node of a 5 node network) can't be set up as a VPN client - now set to bridge mode, but still handling the other 4 nodes). Plus researching I decided i wanted wireguard and also like the asus FUSION (multiple VPN tunnels)...

Thanks. I have two other direct wires into the AX5400. One to netgear switch to which are connected: TV/SKY-Q box, a couple of other media devices. And the other to my Linksys MX5300 (in bridge mode), which has 4 other linksys nodes connected to it, 2 x wired and 2 x wireless. These don't...

I just bought a TUF-AX5400 and have had it up for 8 days. Have similar issue. My son's gaming pc is wired cat7 50m flat cable direct to LAN1 (game port) goes great for a while, slows to a trickle or cuts out. I tried moving to LAN2 and immediately goes great, then same thing. Have not...

Thank you Glens. I've just checked on the Linksys router settings app and it can be set to what linksys calls bridge mode and some of their documentation says is the saame as ap mode. I'll try it out tomorrow when I get my asus router and try setting it all up. I don't know if that would...

I've bought an Asus Tuf AX5400 because my existing Linksys router MX5300 doesn't allow setting up a vpn on it. I have 3 MX5300 and two other Linksys mesh routers that came from my ISP when they installed fibre to my house 2 years ago (went from 10MBS with BT copper to 600MBS). The modem...

Hi. If that is the case, it would seem that companies like NordVPN, Surfshark, etc., have a very lucrative business model, snake oil so to speak. Do you have any links to corroborating evidence? I do understand that it doesn't make you anonymous connecting to a website where you have to give...

I have a 600mbs fibre connection to my modem. Have opted to get an Asus router as they support wireguard on some models. I don't really need the wifi as I have a Linksys MX5300 mesh system set up (total of 5 nodes, of the 4 remote nodes, 3 are wired: CAT 5e,7,and 8). I need a new router as I...

I am setting up a VPN for first time. Registered with NordVPN, but have 25 days left on trial. Bought a tp-link ER605 VPN router as i can't run the VPN on my wireless mesh router. VPN router will go between modem and wireless mesh router. I have fibre and 600 mbs connection. So want a...

I have the following set up: fibre - modem - tp-link er605 router - linksys mx5300 wireless mesh router (with 4 nodes of which 3 are wired). I haven't had a vpn and just subscribed to mordvpn. I had to get the er605 as the mx5300 doesn't support vpn on the router. I want vpn on the router in...
