    GL.iNet worth a try? Any advantage over ASUS?

    I recently got a gl.inet router as a travel router. It is a low end device - the Opal SFT1200 ($39 at Amazon). Yes it is OpenWRT which can be technically rich but challenging, but they have their own front end to it that is relatively easy and straight forward. Very easy to setup Wireguard...

    setup ac68U as bridge to eero network for vpn support

    I'm surprised that Netflix took so long to crack down on me. But then curiously, at least as of today, while they block my app on the TV, I can set do Netflix on the web.

    setup ac68U as bridge to eero network for vpn support

    Had a feeling we were moving in this direction. Before I knew details of her system - seemed relatively straight forward. Now it's turning into a science project. My ISP does not support IPv6, which I was (am) fine with. Great service over fiber. Just thought it would be "easy" to get VPN on...

    setup ac68U as bridge to eero network for vpn support

    Ok - so here's the use case for what I am (will be) trying to accomplish. My daughter and I have shared passwords for some streaming services. She has Netflix. It was actually only this past week that my access to her Netflix was turned off. So, the thought was, to setup an OpenVPN service on...

    setup ac68U as bridge to eero network for vpn support

    So just found out something interesting. My daughters setup is consists of a T-Mobile Home Internet (TMHI) gateway front ending her Eero network. TMHI's use CG-NAT (this cannot be disabled) so I guess my question is in part how is this Eero network (which uses NAT) working at all for her? In...

    setup ac68U as bridge to eero network for vpn support

    Ok - so I am guessing her Eero LAN is on subnet 192.168.1.x. I would setup the Asus to broadcast on 192.168.50.x as a regular router. I'm with you so far. Then I connect via cable from her LAN port to the ASUS WAN port. So, now the ASUS is on network with a base network address of (let's...

    setup ac68U as bridge to eero network for vpn support

    My daughter has a network using Eero mesh router system. For a variety of reasons, I would like to be able to vpn into her system for remote access as well use it as vpn node to the internet. Eero does not support being configured as a vpn. I have an unused AC68U that I can bring to her home...

    AiMesh Node fails to install

    Well, I tried it one more time. This time, left ac86u (aimesh node) in back room of house with connection from LAN node on main router to WAN node on mesh node. Reset the ac86u and then added mesh node. This time it was successful. Then curiously, as I check some critical devices that should...

    AiMesh Node fails to install

    AiMesh Node fails to install

    Would it help if I coonrcted the node to the main router via a wire? If so, connect it to lan or wan port?

    AiMesh Node fails to install

    Got no inherent problem leaving it as AP. Have same SSIDs setup on both. Concern is, phone in rear of the house takes a call (on wifi calling), and while on the call walks to the front of the house. All might go well, but 2 other possibilities are phone might stubbornly stick to original router...

    AiMesh Node fails to install

    Possibly, but article said what wouldn't work was asuswrt primary and melin node. Only downside to using both primary and secondary as melin was lack of auto update. Prior to ac68u biting the dust, both nodes were on Merlin

    AiMesh Node fails to install

    I have rt-ax86u as my primary router. Was trying to setup an rt-ac86u as an aimesh node. Primary has Merlin 300.388.4 installed and the node has Merlin 386.12 installed. I factory reset the ac86u and powered it on - placing it within 8 feet of ax86u. There were no cables (other than power)...

    Reconfiguring system - which approach?

    Currently have an AI Mesh system - AC86U is primary and AC68U is mesh node. Long story short, AC68U has bit the dust. I have ordered an AX86U as my new system. Regardless of following alternatives (which I will explain), I presume my first step is from the Web interface of the AC86U, remove...

    DNS Services

    And why not Cloudfare? I've heard mostly good about them.
