    Using asus router as passthrough vpn gateway

    Ugh. That’s inadequate. Do you know of a machine that will do this better?

    Using asus router as passthrough vpn gateway

    I’ll have to look at the boneyard to see what I have. Either an RT-66 or 68 or maybe a netgear nighthawk. 1000 mbps

    Using asus router as passthrough vpn gateway

    I moved my home networking to a Unifi dream machine with a few access points. I'm trying to configure NordVPN at the router level to cover the whole house. Currently, the Unifi Dream Machine does not have the ability to establish an OpenVPN tunnel to Nord. I was thinking about using an old ASUS...

    Covering a large house with thick walls/floors - price not important

    Here is what I've recently done and I have been well pleased. First let me tell you what I had before. I have a large house with somewhere around 100 networked devices. My sq footage is around 8 - 10,000 sq ft. but I only have 2 floors to my house. I had an ASUS RT-68u router with 2 other access...

    Routing in very large home

    My understanding of the MU-MIMO is that due to the increased capacity, I could use a repeater without speed drop from the repeater setup. Is that not correct? I thought it would dedicate a channel to the repeater and not drop network speed.

    Routing in very large home

    I have some questions about networking my very large home. It is about 10,000 sq feet. I have Cat 6 cabling to every room and currently use an unmanaged gigabit switch. I have 50Mbps cable modem internet service. I have a RT-AC68U router and have 2 other access point, each with their own SSID...

    Is there a way to...

    Okay. I see now. The device name is now listed by the MAC address there in the popup. I didn't know that was available now. Thanks for that. It makes my life much easier. I was just looking for similar functionality in the other place.

    Is there a way to...

    Is there a way to change an assigned DHCP address of a LAN device from the Network Map/Clients popup? If not, I'd like to suggest that as a feature. My kids are bringing in new devices and I hate tracking down their MAC addresses just to have to write them down and go to the LAN/DHCP Server area...

    Need range extender for AC68U

    Do you create another ssid or are there devices out there that will allow seamless transitions from ap to ap?

    Need range extender for AC68U

    I have a large house and I need an extender for one side of the house. I do have gigabit Ethernet throughout the house, so wiring it in wouldn't be a problem. What do y'all recommend? Something like an AC56U?

    AC 68u as proxy server

    would the PPTP VPN work the same way? The reason I ask is that I use an iOS device and PPTP support is built in.

    AC 68u as proxy server

    My router has a static ip on the internet. I want to watch espn3 but I'm often blacked out when I am away from home. Is there a way to set up my home router as a proxy server?
