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...

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!

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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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!

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

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...

Can you do Policy Based Routing with a Wireguard VPN on this firmware?

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...

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...

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

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
