    RT-AC87U & OpenVPN: Using insecure hash algorithm in CA Sig

    Personally I think the RT-AC87U was a lame duck from the outset, it had major issues with the 5G band due to a new chip they were using and they probably couldn't wait to make it obsolete. I bought a new one, it had stability issues, I think heat related, on the 5G band so I sent it back for...

    RT-AC87U & OpenVPN: Using insecure hash algorithm in CA Sig

    Right, renewing the cert would work IF my router had a Renew button but it does not and ASUS said my router is no longer supported and will not be getting any further updates and suggested I buy a new one :-(

    RT-AC87U & OpenVPN: Using insecure hash algorithm in CA Sig

    I'm ok with that, I'd rather error on the safer side. Choosing the Insecure option doesn't mean it's a giant risk, it's just the least secure of all their protocols. Their latest client version is pretty recent, that is when they upped their game and my old connection no longer worked. I...

    RT-AC87U & OpenVPN: Using insecure hash algorithm in CA Sig

    I worked with both ASUS and OpenVPN. ASUS said my router was too old and to buy a new one! OpenVPN said that as time goes on, they continue to upgrade their security protocols. So, all I could do was to downgrade the security option in OpenVPN on my phone and laptop, see attached screenshot...

    RT-AC87U & OpenVPN: Using insecure hash algorithm in CA Sig

    Intro: I know now that this is not a new issue but I just ran into it and I don't think ASUS is going to resolve it so thought I post here in case someone found a solution. I know the work around is just to use a lower security level in the OpenVPN phone app, I'll default to that for now if I...

    ASUS AC87U

    I have the same router, your symptoms indicate that something is wrong with it. Back in its day it was a pretty nice router but it's pretty much history now, return it and stop spending any more time on it. Get something new so you get the latest security protocols.

    OpenVPN configuration not compatible with OpenVPN Connect 3.4.0

    Yowza, after reading your note I did find where I happened upon the Merlin forum. I got to this forum via an internet search of my error msg. I should really go to the ASUS wireless forum and post there. Thanks for telling me that. Well I'm about to head out of town, no time to mess around...

    OpenVPN configuration not compatible with OpenVPN Connect 3.4.0

    🤣🤣 Tell me about it, I know it's old, in tech years probably like 200! Ok, here they are.. ..

    OpenVPN configuration not compatible with OpenVPN Connect 3.4.0

    Hmmm, well, I just looked at both the General and Advanced Settings screen for the built in OpenVPN on my router and I don't have a Reset button. Just like I don't have a Renew Cert button.

    OpenVPN configuration not compatible with OpenVPN Connect 3.4.0

    Thanks for the reply! Do you mean a factory reset on the router?

    OpenVPN configuration not compatible with OpenVPN Connect 3.4.0

    Ok, back to the OP's quest for a solution....I have just run across this same issue after updating the OpenVPN app on my phone to 3.4.1. I have spent time discussing this with OpenVPN, who were very helpful and ASUS who were not helpful. I have the ASUS RT-AC87U and am running the latest...

    RT-AC87U vs RT-AC88U vs Ubiquiti

    We wish we did live in the EU, we love Europe...used to live in the UK for a few years, loved that too! That's where we developed our love for diesel cars. Came back to the US, bought a Golf diesel, absolutely love it and now...dieselgate :-( I've done the research between ASUS and Ubiquiti...

    RT-AC87U vs RT-AC88U vs Ubiquiti

    Hi Trentors, I'd prefer to stay with ASUS. I like their interface, I'm used to it and "when" my 87U was up, it worked well. Just heard back from ASUS that they will not take my 87U in on trade so I'm sending it to their west coast repair center and upon its return, will try and sell it...

    RT-AC87U vs RT-AC88U vs Ubiquiti

    In April 2016 I bought a RT-AC87U with a 2 yr warranty. In July I sent it out for repair to the west coast ASUS repair center, at my cost!. It was disconnecting from the internet, losing the 5 Ghz signal, losing the internet connection when I would try to upload medium size files and other...
