    VPN on RT-N66U in Bridge Mode

    Thank you. I have internet access via the second router when I let the wizard set it up. Under "LAN DHCP Server" the wizard leaves the default Gateway blank and also DNS servers blank. Should I leave these blank? Next is to set up VPN with merlin!

    No FW Upgrade for 11 months

    So I clear the NVRAM BOTH before and after loading new FW (which must be unzipped)? To Clear NVRAM Hold WPS button, power down, power up, wait 10-15 seconds and release WPS button Can't restore the settings so make notes or screenshots and manually reset them all.

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    I had the reboots and disconnects as soon as I loaded 96. I was not using the USB ports but did have manually configured port forwarding through to a windows server. The problems occurred without me trying to access the server. Back to 90 and now rock solid. Emailed ASUS and they promptly...
