To the moderators...I see my account has been placed in Moderator approval. My questions have nothing to do with DIY or Electrical, nor do any of my posts ask how to do the job. Degrub made an incorrect assumption.

Aluminum wiring is against code here. My electrician proposal states 2.0/copper. Thanks for your comments. I think that tells me what I need to know...they can run it through attic shouldn't be an issue for my network. Thanks.

I wasn't aware that this forum dealt with electrical? The electrician is coming next week to do the Job. My only concern is deciding where to have my him route the new main in relation to my network setup, as illustrated by the red texted question in the OP.

Thanks for your comments. I'm not too concerned about the wifi...only use that for devices when in office. My concern was the routers and the (CAT 5) cabling (of which there are several running up the attic rafters grouped or in PVC conduit). Am I interpreting correctly that this shouldn't be a...

I'm about to upgrade my main panel to 200 amps. Since code requires that the meter and mast be located at the front of the house, the main feed will have to be routed to the main at the back of the house. Wire size is 2 aught (2.0). I have a few options for routing the main wire, one of which...

@OzarkEdge, @Tech9 Thanks for the info. Decided to go with another AX86U. Apologies for the unintentional hijack.

Sure enough. My apologies and my mistake. My post regarded the AX86U. Regarding the AX86S, it seems to be coupled with the RT-AX86U (RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) here, and shows specs for the respective models...

Hello again, Tech9. I bought the 86U about 1 1/2 yrs ago, and have had none of the issues mentioned here (hardware failure or otherwise). In fact, I've been very happy with it. Performance and range have been excellent. Perhaps the luck of the draw? At any rate, I've been looking at buying...

As a followup, are there any further I should look at to fully secure the router, vpn and otherwise? I'd like to beef up security in whatever way I can, including on my other routers/network. Long ago, (the SMB site software was a lot different then) there was a fairly prolific guy here who...

I did get the BI app working. In 'Server Settings', I saw that I forgot to put the port number in the LAN. All is well. Thanks, Colin and Threska49. I appreciate your patience and willingness to stick it out. I learned a lot through this process.

Odd for me, anyway, being a novice and gaining an education.

Oddly, I can connect to the BI web interface via a browser, but: I had to add the openvpn virtual address as an exception in Windows Firewall. Under the VPN Server tab, I had to change the option under 'Client will use VPN to access' from 'Lan Only' to 'Both' (interent access and LAN). I...

Progress report. opvn file added and my router shows the ipad is connected to the vpn server. Now I'm working on getting BI on the device to work via the server.

Just saw the post. Makes sense. I doubt I'll use another vpn server on this machine, but good to know for future reference.

Could be a bug. At present, I'm attempting to open the file in the openvpn app on my iphone. I placed the file on my phone, went to the openvpn app, and am in the 'Import Profile', but there's no apparent way to import it. No buttons, and the 2 options aren't links. See screenshot.
