Yeah, trying to take short cuts backfired. I reset the 86 to default using the UI, updated the firmware, and all was fine. Then I just hard wired the 86 to an old desktop I had laying around while I connected to the 68 with a laptop and copied settings page by page, setting by setting. Never...

Hi all, Long time ASUS router user, have the RT-N66U, RT-AC68P, and now just got the RT-AC86U. The 86U whenever I install the latest ASUSWRT firmware ceases to function and I have to use the firmware restore utility to go back 1 version and I can revive it. Trying to reset the unit via the...

I have a case number opened up with Asus right now to look into this. I spent an hour on the phone with them going through everything that I already tried. I suspect that it is an issue with the firmware. Attached is the log from the router when it was running Merlin's version of the .178...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am using IE9. Maybe I should be using Firefox instead and it would work better! ;)

Thanks for the reply, I was starting to compile all the information I had after trying to get this working for a good portion of the day yesterday. I'm going to get the logs from the router today after I try a couple things. Currently I'm running 3.0.0.3.178.15 (Merlins firmware). I tried...

Hello, Hoping someone can help get me pointed in the right direction. I have the RT-N66U at home and love it. For a project at work I purchased another one with the idea that I would be able to connect my AT&T LG AD600 (USBConnect Adrenaline) 3G/4G data card to it. I see on the Asus web...

Sorry, meant I don't believe PPTP is encrypted. Not sure that it necessarily that secure either if I remember correctly. Again, will do some more looking again when I have a little time. Been a whole since I really dug into the nuances of PPTP.

If I understand your question properly, yes, it probably could do as you suggest. I use the VPN for the obvious purpose of accessing my network while traveling, but I also do it to circumvent our IT staff at work to access sites that are restricted, yet still have relevant content for work. In...

That could be. I hadn't considered that. I have a machine setup on DMZ as well so that provides further support to your theory. I'm not curious enough to start reconfiguring my router though. It works, so I'm not gonna mess with it! :D

Glad my findings a couple weeks ago helped! I know I was beating my head against the wall for a bit trying to figure it out myself. Watched a lot of videos, searched forums, etc. and never found anyone suggesting forwarding port 1723 to the internal IP. Hopefully others find this bit of...

Mine the VPN did not work out of the box after enabling and I don't have any "odd" configurations at home as mentioned. I HAD to forward port 1723 to 192.168.1.1 before it would work. nothing else I did would work. Appreciate the heads up on the USB storage. I don't need it since I have a...

I appologize if this has been covered before, but when I was initially doing searches I could not find anything on the subject of getting PPTP VPN working on the RT-N66U and thought I would share my solution. I saw that on SNB and maybe a few other sites they dinged the RT-N66U and ASUS for the...
