What is the down side to using different models? Also, would it matter that one is merlin and the node is stock?

I currently have a RT-AX86U (with merlin) located in my basement and would like add something on the second floor of the house. (would be running ethernet to connect them) Is there any benefits or disadvantages to using a extender like the ASUS RP-AX58 over another AX router? Less range? I'm...

Ah, I didnt know that. I dont know about Traffic Analyzer. I dont know what Im alowing for the Trend Micro agreement. Sure it might be nothing but I dont know.

Replaced my AC68 with an AX86, flashed latest merlin and got everything set up, but there is a chance I may have overlooked something. I noticed under Traffic Monitor there is only a listing for Real-Time, on the 68 I was able to see Per-Device. Is this no longer supported? I like to beable to...

1. At one time? Right now I have 21 things connected, Ranging from PCs, Phones, Cameras, random IoT devices. Probably another 10 things not online right now. I do plan on getting more outdoor camers / NVR and wifi lights this summer. 2. Not anytime soon. 3. VPN on Router, probably QoS I never...

If you could, would you opt for the 86u for more future proofing, would ram be an issue later on? I probably won't upgrade again for a few years (4+)

Why is that? Merlin supports both.

Looking to update my current ac routers (will be useing them as mesh nodes then) and really dont know if I should put down ~$70 more for the u model. Im mostly concerned about the ram difference and dual core vs quad core. I plan on using merlin and running VPN (Wireguard) on the router itself...

Currently PIA is haveing a DNS issue with Amazon and some other sites. Is there a command for the custom configuration field that would let me changed the DNS to w/e I want cloudflare, google? Some googling I came across ( push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8" ) for a config file but putting that in...

Might find something here https://www.snbforums.com/threads/overclocking-rt-ac68u.15235/

Tried another PC on the same network, no issues. Turns out something is up with the USB wireless adapter I was using, hooked up ethernet and no issues. I have no idea why it would work using the PIA app.

Fixed it, the attachment was to big so it was getting resized to 728 pixels

Using a AC68u with Merlin 384.9 connecting to PIA This just recently happened. When I start Diablo 3 with just PIA running on the router (see attached file for settings) it will give me a connection lost error. If I run the PIA app on my PC, it will connect fine. Not sure what to look for/at...

Curious as to what they do On https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/helpdesk/guides/routers/merlin/merlin-firmware-openvpn-setup they only list the first three. Also, since you said things have been changed, is this setup guide outdated?

Great right up, up and running on my AC68U with Merlin. I have a few questions. Redirect Internet traffic - Policy Rules (strict) Block routed clients if tunnel goes down - Yes Rule: Source IP 192.168.1.0/24 Destination IP 0.0.0.0 lface VPN Is this supposed to be like a kill switch? I ask...
