    Looking for feedback from anyone that has gone from Merlin + Scripts to pfSense

    My thoughts exactly! I purchased a Qotom device with 8g ram, 64g SSD, 4 core @ 2Ghz for testing. It runs OPNSense with Suricata, VPN, etc with ease. Also have two TP Link AP's, one up upstairs, one down. Personally, I'm not a fan of PFSense current business model and future plans, doesn't make...

    Is there a script for configuring VLANs?

    Thanks for the technical clarification, the greater issue remains branding. Broadcom isnt catching heat for the current code gremlins, Asus is surely feeling the effects in lost revenue though. As always, thanks for your herculean efforts! Regards

    Is there a script for configuring VLANs?

    This is what I did after months of researching Vlan options, some worked but non provided a stably environment. After an IT audit flagged the 86U as non compliant, my choice was easy. Asus refuses to release complete documentation for VLAN commands on the new chip sets. Personally, I think Asus...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    I have tried every method offered here to revive the wireless functionality on the 86U's. No wireless internet access. Thank you @Merlin for your herculean efforts to maintain this Asus code alignment. Until Asus releases 386 AND our beta testers can validate its functionality, the Asus...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    Either works, I prefer 2.0 for scripts and 3.0 for external USB drive. Scripts are very easy to follow. I use 16g only because there cheap with plenty of room. Amtm will walk you thru each step for each script. You need putty or whatever SSH tool you prefer. To load 5 scripts takes maybe 10 minutes?

    How do you max out a Gigabit internet connection

    Greetings @thiggins- We have used the ATT 1G Fiber for 3+ years, when installed it was ~960m both ways. Our home business with me hosting video learning / conf calls, multiple VPNs , 2 severs with several VM’s, etc have never pushed the 1G circuit. The closest was during our new house move-in...

    Thanks @skeal ! I glazed passed that part. I need to update YazFi and think about the layout. Should I allocate a small IP range or config a VLAN for guest? Not clear how to create a VLAN within YazFi? Did I miss something in the 60+ posts pages? I'm a strong swimmer but admittedly treading...
