I haven't invested in the usb fan yet, temp is fairly steady at 88 deg C. (which I find insanely high for such a product anyway). What bothers me though that VPN speeds (even though better than without hw acceleration) are still at around 160 Mbits max. According to this thread I should expect...

My issue got resolved ;-) Problem was an overheating of the CPU, when temperature exceeds 100 deg C, temp protection activates and one of the cores shuts down. With both cores running, I am getting consistent 160 Mbits so AESNI is working. And I am on 386.2_6. What speeds are you getting on 384.19?

Thanks so much for the hint. Running like a charm now. I "refurbished" the place where I keep my router and temp is now steady at 89 deg C. Not really sure what the optimum temp is. I will invest in the usb fan though ;-) Thanks! And BTW, I am getting a steady 160 Mbits through the VPN. Cool!

Indeed, one core seems to be disabled! I cannot find anything in the log but in the System Status I see only one core. Also, the CPU temp is 97 deg C. It seems that 86 runs MUCH hotter that 87.

Strange, with firmware 386.2_6 I get max 75 Mbs with AES_256_GCM and 100 with AES_128_GCM. To me this indicates that AESNI is not working. Also, I setup a private OpenVPN server, forcing AES 265 GCM and the speed will not exceed 100Mbs either. I was expecting anything between 150 and 200 Mbs...

Ufff, similar story with OpenVPN server, Server 1 Failed to start, Server 2 up and running. BOTH servers configured in exactly the same way (except for the port of course) Bizarre ???????

I am configuring my RT-AC86U OpenVPN clients (I use ExpressVPN). Bizarre thing is that only slots/clients 2 & 4 work, when I try to configure clients 1, 3 and 5, I get an error, nothing verbose in the log, just this: Jul 7 14:06:17 rc_service: httpd 1713:notify_rc start_vpnclient1 Jul 7...

Yeap, that fixed it! Thanks! It was an apostrophe in one of the hostnames. Exported the nvram variable, fixed it and re-imported. All working now. Once again, thanks!

I don't thinks so but I am not 100% sure. What I remember doing is modifying one of the existing manual assignments and modifying one of the radio button settings (can't remember which one exactly). I added a new manual entry (filled in text boxes) but such an entry already existed in the table...

Hi, I have a Merlin 384.5 installed. All working like a charm. Recently I changed some settings in DHCP server menu, added some manually assigned IPs etc. After applying the changes, the DHCP server settings tab seems to be broken, when clicking on the DHCP server menu, I get only that frame...
