    Does security matter on dumb access points?

    Thanks. Any input as to what - if anything - could cause them to be exposed externally while just being used as access points?

    Does security matter on dumb access points?

    I have an Asus AC-68U router that is connected to the internet. I keep it updated at all times. But I also have some older routers connected to my router as dumb access points. They're running OpenWrt 19.07.10 which is now outdated. But does that even matter when they are just providing wi-fi to...

    Can I surf through my router when abroad (VPN)?

    I had no idea about that - thanks. My goal isn't security, just streaming (and therefore speed). Is there any way to not encrypt and basically just have the connection wide open? Or is that asking for trouble - because it also potentially opens up my LAN for hacking attempts more than it is now...

    Can I surf through my router when abroad (VPN)?

    I have 100/100, which is why I was hoping that it would work. I'll play around with it some more now that I know it can work. Thanks. Can I also access my LAN this way? I have an old NAS that isn't supported anymore so for safety reasons I have turned off all WAN connections, but I can still...

    Can I surf through my router when abroad (VPN)?

    When I'm on vacation, I can't watch some of my streaming services because of geoblocking. If I set up a VPN on my 68U, can I then connect through that and access my services that way when I'm in another country? I toyed around with it a bit but didn't get it working which is why I'm asking. I...

    How to access media server from WAN?

    I'm running the latest Rmerlin with the media server working perfectly on my home network. But how do I access it from outside my LAN so that I can stream video while on vacation? If somebody could list the necessary steps, that would be much appreciated. I'm running an RT-68U that is directly...

    Websites won't load

    Thanks. Resetting solved it. I misunderstood the readme about not needing to reset - that must have referrede to when upgrading from a previous Merlin version. Thanks again.

    I did not, seeing as the instructions says that that is unnecessary (I was coming from the latest official FW and could do without setting everything up again and being unsure if I could restore original settings into new merlin fw). But I'll give it a shot.

    Websites won't load

    In order to take advantage of SMB2, I upgraded to the latest version of Merlin (380.68_4) on my AC-68U. However, after upgrading I couldn't access some of my regular websites while I could access others just fine. I wasn't able to troubleshoot it, so I flashed back to the original FW with...
