    [Solved] AC5300 completely ghosting me after firmware update - bricked?

    My AC5300 has been a delicate flower ever since it "lost" one of its 5 GHz bands some years back. I accepted it and thought let's not mess with it (after reading about similar experiences online). It's been doing its job well enough since then, as long as I didn't try to log into it. Today I...

    IKEv2 using own VPN client RT-AC5300

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if it was somehow possible, using SSH to configure it, to use IKEv2 instead of OpenVPN. OpenVPN takes my speed from 30 MB/s to 5MB/s at best.
