    RT-AX86S vs RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro

    I used to have two identical RT-AX86U routers. I used the second one as a backup, and successfully deployed it by restoring a settings backup from the first one, to the second one when the first one died. Despite not checking if the (OEM) firmware versions were identical, the restore worked...

    URL Filter not working on RT-AX86U

    I see. I was wondering if something like HTTPS:\\ was the culpret. I am not familiar with DNSMasq or other techniques. I would rather not go down the Merlin route. I did try OpenDNS for a while, but I had other weird issues with them when my WAN ip changed and their updater did not pickup the...

    URL Filter not working on RT-AX86U

    Hello, Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am trying to block facebook. I have entered all forms of facebook and fbcdn, com&net into the URL Filter page Deny List, on my RT-AX86U, to no avail. It is as if the page does nothing. What am I missing?

    New to ASUS routers, freaked out by Trend Micro

    Thanks Paul, I do use a different DNS (OpenDNS) as well. I will try AiProtection. Another concern is alerts requiring my email account password, not good and not necessary. Curious, you are using Merlin? Which I assume is a 3rd party open source firmware like DD-WRT? What benefits does it...

    New to ASUS routers, freaked out by Trend Micro

    Should I be concerned about this router's propensity to send data to Trend Micro? Couple Questions regarding Trend Micro and their EULA (which I have not read): 1. Is Trend Micro just another AV outfit like Kaspersky? 2. How is Trend Micro affiliated with ASUS? 3. Why do so many features like...
