    RT-AX86U Stock Or Merlins?

    As I use an OPNsense PC as my firewall/router and the RT-AX86U is now just an dual band AP connected using the 2.5G NIC, thought I'd ask for members thoughts and maybe why?

    Ubiquiti Dream 7 + Promox Adguardhome Setup...

    My Choice .. 1. Install OPNsense bare metal on Topton, to turn it in to a firewall/router. 2. Within OPNsense, add the Unbound and either PiHole or Adblock plugin. 3. Dream7, configure as an AP and connect directly to Toptun.

    AdGuardHome AdGuardHome Blocklists

    My Adguard plugin filter lists working inside OPNsense+Unbound and I work 100% from home over Cisco Anyconnect using a dual pipe for non-VPN and VPN traffic to Zscaler and never had a site misbehave, important in the financial industry I work in. Probably some duplication, but Adguard takes care...

    Anyone Getting over 2G on the 2.5G WAN port of RT-AX86U?

    My AX86U is now an AP, I went bare metal mini desktop with OPNsense and now max out my connection that the router just couldn't do. I'm not going to replace the router until it dies as my wi-fi cards matches it's capabilities, then I will buy a real AP, will not get another router, as consumer...

    Pfsense/opnsense box with AX88U Merlin firmware

    Doing the same thing, replacing my Asus router with a Dell T3420, using either Proxmox or XCP-ng (+ Orchestra) hypervisor on bare metal, OPNsense, Pihole and Unbound in VMs or containers, the existing router will become a switch/AP. As a bonus, if your happy with wifi capabilities/performance...

    Possibly in the market for a new router

    Personally, starting to seriously think about dumping boxed routers and going micropc route with 2.5G or better LANs and access points front and back of house, costs coming down to those of a top end router and even more flexible and longer life.

    Truenas or Unraid

    Got the servers dirt cheap, yes one big full fat would have been nice.

    Truenas or Unraid

    Currently running a Windows Server providing torrent downloads and Plex content and works fine, now starting to think Windows is a unjustified overhead, so here is the plan as I have second box ready for service. Plex TV Box - Dell T610 12C+HT 32GB 24TB NIC1/2 2x1Gbps Team...

    Solved LAN client running qBittorrent crashes gt-ax6000 (running Merlin 3004.388.4)

    I had same issue until I switched off uTP, seemed to be flooding router until WAN dies.

    Asus updates its EOL list, adds RT-AC1750, AC1900P, AC88U, AC5300

    Maybe time to take a closer look at pfSense and OPNsense.

    How accurate are the automatic speed/quality tests?

    My AX86U with QOS off, seems to give pretty accurate results from Virgin Media 1Gig connection.
  15. Wolfclaw

    Should I use QOS on a 500mbps connection?

    now have 1Gig/105mbps from Virgin Media and I switched off QOS and let the family have a free for all and not noticed any problems with streaming, torrents, work, gaming, all about trusting family to not be greedy.
