    RAM usage 86u vs 68u

    I realize they don't have the same cpu or exactly the same hardware. I was talking about what is using the extra ram. And on reboot the AC86u still uses much more. Not 10 percent more, not 50 percent more but 3.3 times more. I just wanted to know what was using it. Is most of it reserved...

    RAM usage 86u vs 68u

    Yes RT-AC86u vs RT-AC68u Did not know the 68u was 32 bit. Its probably dynamic memory allocation.

    RAM usage 86u vs 68u

    Just curious on why the 68u uses very little ram vs the 86u. With same number of connections my 68u will use only 89MB of ram/256 while the 86u will use 280MB/512. Both using the same version of Merlin. No issues with either router just wondering why the 86u uses so much more ram.

    Which current Asus routers run cool out of the box?

    hehe LOL, the scary thing is you probably are not joking.

    Which current Asus routers run cool out of the box?

    I've owned quite a few asus routers over the years and they are all working (ones power button does not stay pushed in) My newer 86u while working well, appears to need active cooling or I feel the longevity will suffer. Its heat-sink cpu configuration is less than optimal vs say the old...

    Dump nand content on working ac86u

    Nice job Tech9! That is a pretty huge gap. Wish they would have done it right from the factory. 40c it might catch a cold at that temp might want to turn off a fan :) Where did you get the copper shim? Might save me some time in case I want to tear mine apart for the fix. For now my twin...

    Updated RT-AC68U to Merlin 386.5 and lost USB drive support

    My RT-AC68u runs at 76c. No fans or any active cooling. The cpu can take it but the surround chips and solder points might not. I like all cpus to be under 80c if possible. 90c will shorten the life no question. I know the cpu can take higher temps but other things on the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    You can backup settings but the best way to do it clean. Is after a update do a factory reset. Prior to that take a screen shot of you router settigns and put them in a word document. Manually put them back in, yes its slower but only way to be clean. And use a vpn to get on the network...

    86u openVpn server speeds not 200 Mbit

    Agree none of them are using VPN in the way I am. Using Torgaurd would do me no good even if I got 200Mbit. I'm thinking maybe 100Mbit is all it can do in my situation which seems to be rare. For Torgaurd I just use a simple windows app, don't see the point of involving the router at all...

    86u openVpn server speeds not 200 Mbit

    Yes I don't use any of that. It might be they never used it like I am. Most seem to pay a provider and rather than using the providers windows app (like I do for torgaurd) they use the router. I'm not doing that, I'm just using the router as a VPN server and connecting from Office to Home...

    86u openVpn server speeds not 200 Mbit

    Both the Server using a xeon cpu single thread. And not sure if its cpu limited or where the bottle neck is. Encryption does slow it down. The 86u is said to be able to hit 200Mbits but its no faster than the Turnkey VPN. I can send to google drive at 500-600Mbit and to home FTP and...

    86u openVpn server speeds not 200 Mbit

    Im trying to max out my VPN speed from office to home. I read the 86u can do 200 Mbit but I seem to be hitting a 100-110 Mbit wall. Maybe I need to see someone elses configs for tuning. The connection speeds - Work 1000/1000 Fiber - Home 500/30 xfninity/comcast I run Turnkey VPN on the...

    Upgrade a RT-n66u ?

    yes there is a reason in this particular situation for not running it on x86 I could have but that is another story. Have lots of VM servers running on the Dell Server rack. I got the 86u yesterday and testing it out. So far it seems to run cooler than both my 68u. During VPN, FTP speed...

    AC-86U reliabily how long has yours run without a reboot

    Ahh wrong router and wrong place to ask for such a thing. That is probably a difficult statistic to come by but had to try sorry. I suppose maybe asking if they had experienced freezes lockups in-between doing standard updates. I don't think I have ever had to reboot any of my 4 asus...

    Upgrade a RT-n66u ?

    Really appreciate the help. Thanks! I only have experience with the N66u and 68u (my home router) Both EZ. I will run what ever I got at home lab for sure till I get a feel for the new feature set. I like EZ if possible, I mean I can learn any of them but I think I can do a swap using a...
