    Can Merlin be setup to use a VPN on only one AC5300 channel?

    Update and thanks; did the switch to Merlin and added YaziFi last night, took about an hour to install and configure, couldn't be happier! Thanks @eibgrad and @Tech9 So this isn't a thank you post - Anyone hesitant thinking firmware switching is out of their realm, it's super simple and...

    Can Merlin be setup to use a VPN on only one AC5300 channel?

    I think this is going to be exactly what I need! Just have to read up on whats involved in the addon install process. Is converting to Merlin as simple as flashing the .trx from within admin or do you need to use the recovery tool like you do for DDWRT? A yes no answer is fine, I realize the...

    Can Merlin be setup to use a VPN on only one AC5300 channel?

    Hi, I have the AC5300 and what I want to do is have one 5ghz channel access the internet reporting my actual IP and the other 5ghz channel use a NordVPN connection.

    Disapointed with RT-AC5300 CPU - Where to go from here?

    Yes? This is the setup that Synology Quickconnect uses, (I believe). I didn't want to use Quickconnect becasue I wanted to control my own security and instead set up a VPN on the router to tunnel the traffic from the laptop via OpenVPN (to access while not on the LAN) but this was brutally slow...

    Disapointed with RT-AC5300 CPU - Where to go from here?

    Thanks for the reply. Did not know that about QoS, I thought you could throttle any traffic connected to the router. Shows I never used it!. Regarding spreading devices over the 2 channels, thats the thing, only one wireless device and one wired device is active and the NAS takes complete...

    Disapointed with RT-AC5300 CPU - Where to go from here?

    Hi. I upgraded from my AC68U last year and have been pretty happy with my AC5300 until this past week when I got my Synology NAS. During data transfers, albeit huge transfers, CPU 1 runs at near 100% (while CPU 2 runs at 2%) subsequently halting all other activity wireless and wired on the...
