    Asus XT8 + XD4

    I do not see any issues with the suggested setup. The XD4 is designed to work well with other AiMesh Routers or Zen Wifi Devices. Since you already have ethernet backhaul in place. They should all work seamlessly. As far as the Tri-Band support remaining intact. I see no reason why it will be...

    Thanks. PureVPn does not provide any settings. These are settings that are already there on Merlin. I just updated username/password fields, CA fields and input servers.

    Upgrading from WRT1900AC. Suggestions to protect from lightning surges.

    Hello everyone, The router (WRT1900AC) in my parent's house recently stopped working because a nearby lightning strike ruined the WAN port. It worked flawlessly for the most part. Range in some places used to keep dropping. I believe its an AC Wave 1 router so it does not have as many bells and...

I wanted to setup a VPN connection to my other router (Asus 86U) in the United States in order to unlock certain content only available in India. Paid VPN subscriptions IP's have been...
