I understand many people's views about DOH, but I am still an advocate of it depending on how it's implemented. https://terminaladdict.com/networking/linux/2019/09/13/DoH.html

Since we are extending our work from home until the end of 2021 we have been allocated up to $300 USD to purchase any home networking equipment needed. My networking setup at home is currently decent, no issues really to report, but I figured since my current router, an Asus RT-87U is EOL/EOS...

Currently using Merlin software with version 384.13_5 and I dont see a way to configure DOH. Is it possible? I know the firmware supports DOT but I really prefer DOH if possible.

I recently had to reset my router and didn't have a backup of the config stored. I noticed recently that my network, specifically the wireless, has been a bit slow. I still show I am connecting on AC with speeds over 800+Mbps with solid RSSI and Noise values. Not sure if anyone can make some...

Is it possible to disable all unused or unnecessary router services? For example, disable the USB ports and any service configured to use the USB ports? I am trying to lock down the surface area and harden the router. This would be specifically for an ASUS RT-87u router.

I recently removed the CenturyLink provided router as it was pure garbage and replaced it with an ASUS RT-AC87U. I have the VLAN tagging and everything working properly but my gigabit speeds are good but not as high as I expect. MacBook-Pro:~$ speedtest Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...

Your 87U will be able to handle DNS but not static routes if it is in AP mode. Your setup is very confusing. Why are you having router 1 serve wifi and the 87U server as a plain switch? Why not buy something like an Edge Router Lite and have it be your router. You could then use it for static...

Yeah, I am noticing that. Probably have to wait a year or so for new wireless cards and such to come out and things become more mainstream.

I'll give it a test this weekend. I figured Merlin of all people might know.

I disabled MU-MIMO and everything seems good to go.

You can turn it into an AP only as well. Yur router will then handle everything.

I upgraded my firmware today on the 87u and it seems ASUS has locked down the firmware per FCC regulations. I thought this was discussed but was not approved. Does anyone have any information on this?

Is this not old firmware, like VERY old?

That's weird. I have the same phone , router, and firmware and if I am in the same room I get full speed. Can you post your full settings under wireless advanced?

No one knows?
