    RT-AC66U WPN server in access point mode?

    Thanks for that now Iam wondering if I would run into any security issues with using WAN as the DMZ host? Would it be better for me to forward the relevant ports of the VPN server address on the ISP router/modem? Another question do you know what router would best suit my needs for a high...

    RT-AC66U WPN server in access point mode?

    I'm drawing near and nearer to texting him for his router user and pass tomorrow lol I know how to find the WAN and place it into the DMZ i believe i did this once for my xbox 360 way back in the day. When it comes to ip addresses I can always learn more! To be honest I have dealt a lot with...

    RT-AC66U WPN server in access point mode?

    Cheers that gives me peace of mind. Could I set my VPN server to use a port that would be open by default from the ISP router/modem? Edit - Its only going to be turned on maybe once a month for 30 minutes which should prevent any hacks etc. its for my VOIP calling from abroad.

    RT-AC66U WPN server in access point mode?

    Yes all AP's are directly connected to the ISP router. The ISP router is being used as a modem and a router including wifi and unfortunately I have no access to it. I wanna set up one of my AP's the RT-AC66U as a router mode instead of AP mode so that I can utilise the VPN server tool. I'm...

    RT-AC66U WPN server in access point mode?

    So is there any rules of thumb when setting up a router within an already routed network? my RT-AC66U is connected to the internet with a wan connection from the ISP router. when i put it like that the whole story of the IR is irrelevant lol im a noob sorry. Edit- the ISP router is the DHCP...

    RT-AC66U no power

    Your probably right, I wish i looked into upgrading the firmware of it sooner as I noticed my other one was having power issues with too many devices connected via wifi shutting it down so i upgraded to the latest firmware just released in 2021 and it fixed everything. they are the hardware...

    RT-AC66U WPN server in access point mode?

    Cheers for prompt reply. I'm ready to press buy on a rasp pi. So I have to use router mode instead of AP or repeater mode, what are the downsides of having the router on router mode and just using it as an access point?

    RT-AC66U WPN server in access point mode?

    Can i setup my RT-AC66U as a VPN server while it is in access point mode. so I just use my Asus as a repeater as my internet is essentially IR beamed to my house and the modem router is in another house inaccessible. I was wondering could I set up my Asus to work as an access point while also...
