    Home Network Design

    This is a diagram of my home network, with one connection missing, I currently have the PC connected to the switch but every once in a while I have Internet connection issues, the home network appears rock solid. Should I have the PC connected to the router instead? My home network includes a...

    Wireguard client on Asuswrt-Merlin (RT-AX86U Pro)

    Thank you, very happy with the speeds, had always heard that Wireguard was 'lightweight' and assumed it would be faster. I happen to have bought a chinese branded N100 X86 pc with 2 ethernet ports - the frustrating challenge that I will enjoy is that it is down to me to tinker with!

    Non-existent hostname

    When I look at "DHCP Leases' on my new RT-AX86U Pro, I see an entry for RT-AC66U_B1-A3B8 xx.xx.xx.72 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff 23:59:32 and I guess this relates to an RT-AC66U I used to use, I did notice it a few days ago and I thought it will expire in time but this is several...

    Wireguard client on Asuswrt-Merlin (RT-AX86U Pro)

    Thanks, that was a typo on my part, I am on 388.2_2 What is likely to be causing the reduction in speed, I didn't think that Wireguard was particularly processor intensive and the router doesn't appear to be under any significant load?

    Wireguard client on Asuswrt-Merlin (RT-AX86U Pro)

    I consider myself to generally to be quite technical but realistically I'm not! I have been trying for quite a while to get a Wireguard VPN client running on a router with policy based rules but I couldn't manage it. I recently found out that both Asuswrt and Asuswrt-Merlin had introduced...

    Installing OpenWRT on an old router

    I am planning on installing OpenWRT on an old router and I would believe I have to add that router into my existing (10.x.x.x) network. Can I plug the old router WAN port into an existing network LAN port - if so what settings do I need to set? I know this doesn't work but I think it should and...

    Beta ASUS RT-AX88U Version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 (2022/08/02)

    I have to realise my technical limitations, I would love to try this out and if I can figure a way I will You don't explicitly say to use SSH but in the instructions I see XSHELL or maybe Putty mentioned even then they need configured Version V4.18 of what? I would guess Wireguard Manager but...

    Beta ASUS RT-AX88U Version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 (2022/08/02)

    Whilst I am not an expert in networking, I think you are probably talking about Wiregurd Session Manager and the 'current' thread is currently 47 pages long - that itself would fry my brain!

    Beta ASUS RT-AX88U Version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 (2022/08/02)

    Can you give me some idea of what Merlin supports? I wasn't aware that WireGuard was even available at all?

    Beta ASUS RT-AX88U Version 9.0.0.4.388.20477 (2022/08/02)

    Answering my own question - I found this today - https://routerkb.asuscomm.com/?page_id=9265 - appears to be in association with the 9.0.0.4.388.20477 Beta Version Firmware. Indicates that yes, a WireGuard Client can be setup in VPN Fusion and then that devices can be assigned to it. Amazon...

    Add a Wireguard VPN Client

    I think I have sorted my self out and just wanted to post what I have done in case anyone else would care to replicate it. My ISP is Plusnet (in the UK) and I am now using their supplied modem/router, it doesn't have a modem only mode but I have set it to use the 192.168.0.X network and turned...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.10SF-HW

    Firstly, I am not familiar with the Netgear interface, Netgear are a reputable company so I imagine it has good basic interface but when you try to squeeze something extra out of it, that is when you see how good it really is - that is where an alternative firmware sometimes pays dividends. I...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.10SF-HW

    Can I ask, is there any documentation on Voxel's firmware, I have extensively read these forums and I am still unsure about it. Thanks

    Add a Wireguard VPN Client

    I do appreciate your help - but - I feel this router is not something I want to 'get into', it is what it is, I was hoping to add a VPN option alongside it, maybe I need to look at this a different way. Thank you
