    TV with OpenVPN client

    Thank you all - particularly Juanantonio!! However I will stop trying - it is obviously done on purpose by Google! I asked Google support and got this answer from their help desk: "We have received an update. I strongly recommend not using VPN. Don't try to change countries with a VPN. Google...

    TV with OpenVPN client

    Thanks all for your answers! My main purpose is to get rid of the PC we currently use. You have inducated several possible solutions which I will definitely try.

    TV with OpenVPN client

    We need a new TV in our apartment in Spain. I would like to connect it to my OpenVPN server in Sweden. Is there any TV brand that has an OpenVPN client app??

    Found a way to make AImesh nodes to have different channels!

    I nteresting idea - but isn't this like "going around the barn to get to the house"? Wouldn't it be much easier to just run the nodes in AP mode instead? Why do you need to use aimesh at all if you need to SSH into the nodes? AP mode would, as far as I understand, be better for you.

    Wireguard - two issues

    I have a ZenWifi Pro XT12 router with Merlin FW on the latest release. For a couple of years, I have used OpenVPN to connect to my home network. This works fine from both PC and Android clients. When I try Wireguard, the PC connection works very well from outside of our home. The Wireguard...

    HW issue on RT-AX58U

    Thank you! I will keep an eye on this and hope it doesn't occur again.

    HW issue on RT-AX58U

    I have a RT-AX58U configured as an AP with ethernet backhaul to my Zenwifi XT12 Pro router. It is located in a remote spot with very poor coverage. Power setting is on min to avoid too much overlap. There are different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz. The AP is running on the latest stock FW. This has...

    RP-AX58: Poor speeds using AiMesh but ok in Access Point mode

    Correct! Thank you Tech9!! I was too quick there. Protected Management Framework should be set to Capable, not Enable as above. So, to have it in one place: All nodes should support 802.11k and 802.11v (which RT-AX58U does). If not, the roaming will be somewhat slower, but it works. Switch...

    XT12 + RP-AX58 band usage question

    If you use an RP-AX58U as an AImesh node it will use the 5 GHz band for backhaul as well as for client connections. The available wifi speed will be half of what you will get if you use it with an ethernet cable as backhaul.

    RP-AX58: Poor speeds using AiMesh but ok in Access Point mode

    It does NOT make sense. AImesh is just a marketing gimmick. The only advantage you get is that you can configure all nodes from the router. Using APs, they need to be configured separately. By using APs instead of AImesh you get the advantages that you can use different Wifi bands for the...

    Mastiff: Init every 30 seconds?

    I browsed through both links you sent. Lots of stuff..... I may have misunderstood something, but it was written that performance MAY be reduced with 20 % in some cases. Is that what you mean?

    Mastiff: Init every 30 seconds?

    Thanks MDM - tried search but probably not in all threads..... mea culpa!! So my conclusions are: it is a known issue and can be ignored since it doesn't do any harm if I want to get rid of the message, I can set the "Disable Asusnat tunnel" to Yes which MAY affect performance

    Mastiff: Init every 30 seconds?

    I changed the "Log only messages more urgent than" from Notice to Warning a few days ago. This looked fine for a while. However after an automatic restart tonight around 03:30, I have started to get the message "Mastiff: init" about every 30 seconds or so. When I browse the log file, I can see...
