    OpenVPN question

    I have a similar problem- using my iOS device I can connect to my asus vpn server using OpenVPN, but I cannot access the LAN. The iOS device is issued an IP address 10.8.0.x which is different from the LAN 192.168.y.z, so I dug around and someone on another board someone mentioned needing to add...

    VPN client setup on RT-N66U using asuswrt-Merlin

    I am using the most current version of merlin wrt on my RT-N66U dark knight. I need to configure it to connect to a VPN service such as Hide.me I was looking at the instructions for OpenVPN here but 1) they seem a bit esoteric, and 2) not sure they would translate exactly when using merlin...

    Strange issue connecting wifi printer to router

    Thanks. I had the n66u set to N only tx and changed it auto, which then worked, even thought the printer claims to work in 802.11n ... Maybe defective network card? This printer is taking more time than it's worth lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Strange issue connecting wifi printer to router

    I just picked up a Samsung wifi laser printer and have trouble connecting it to my LAN (N66u), but the funny thing is it connects to the guest SSID fine....any reason why that might be?? The guest network does not have access to the LAN , so it's not a viable solution. Would appreciate any...

    ASUS N66U and AC56U

    I appreciate all the discussion around this. There seems to be varying opinions on the subject of range. Would there be more of a consensus on which router I should get? I don't have 802.1ac devices, only N. With prices being equal, would the dark knight be the right one? I have 2 NAS, 2 media...

    ASUS N66U and AC56U

    I realized that this should have been posted in the wireless buying advice forum and not this one, rookie mistake. (Moderator: can you move this?) Thanks for the suggestion. Will the external antenna have more bearing on range regardless of N vs AC? Is range the issue when a wall cuts down on...
