So after some issues with my Asus router I took some advice from here and built my own router using pfsense with an old PC (Intel I5-4590, 12GB Ram, Intel I350-T4 Network card) I have a 900Mbs FTTP connection. Great move, so much more control. I notice that, if for example, I download the...

Thanks for all the advice, all up and running, connection much more stable and getting my full bandwidth all the time. Just using the AX88 as a wireless access point for the IOT devices for now. Maybe better getting a lower power, watts wise, PC than the Dell 7020 but so far so good. Had...

Thanks for all the advice so far I've just installed pfSense on the DELL so that should keep me busy for the rest of the evening :) Just using the onBoard GiGe network connection and I found another GiGe Intel pci card.

The issue wasn't the VPN speed, it was the fact that my internet speed on all clients was limited to 500Mbps when the WireGuard VPN server option was enabled. The clients weren't routed through the VPN but connected directly.

Thanks for all the info, looks like a fun project to take on and perfect as we move into the dark winter days :)

No problem, thanks for the advice. I have an old DELL Optiplex 7020, I5-4590, lying about, kept meaning to sell it. What sort of Wireless/network card would be good if I wanted to build my own router?

I take it the CPU status indicators aren't really telling the full story. Even downloading at full speed I rarely see them go above 5%, whether WireGuard is enabled or not.

I have a 900Mbps Fibre connection RT-AX88U with 3.0.0.4.388_20558 firmware I enabled WireGuard VPN but have noticed that it then limits my internet speed to 500Mbps on any client connecting from my local network to the internet. With Wireguard enabled With WireGuard disabled OpenVPN has...

Iv'e had BT FTTP installed for about a week now and have had no issues with the AX88U. I'm on the 500Mbps package and just using the stock firmware 3.0.0.4.388_20499 and the only thing I enabled was IPv6 Speeds seem very consistant and hasn't dropped once.

Yes, sarcasm well deserved :). Jumped the gun a bit, saw a cheap one on eBay and just went for it Currently set to 20/40 will give that a go, thanks.

I had asked for recommendations in another thread and was told the AX88U was the best of the best

I have just bought the AX88U as my old router died, so thought I would just get the best, I was using a borrowed AC87U until it arrived Reading reviews I thought the range would be better than the AC87U but I finding the opposite. I have some 2.4G garage door controllers and with the AC87U...

Thanks, should be here in the next couple of days :)

Thanks, I managed to find a backup I had made of the JFFS partition, I restored that and it had version 4.01 which works for what I need. Looks like I need a new router, any recomendations :D

I have had to revert back to my RT-AC87U as my AX58U has died. I had YazFi running succesfully before including the WebUI can't get it going again as it had been factory reset. I am running Merlin 384.13_10 but tried with the current install script and it does nothing and comes back to the...
