    Open VPN Client upload / download swapped AC68U

    When using Open VPN Client on AC68U the upload and download are swapped over. This causes mostly confusion for statistics but can also create mysterious problems. I only discovered this when setting up the VPN and manually set the up/down bandwidth in 'Adaptive Qos / QoS / Bandwidth Setting'. I...

    AC68U LAN to WiFi downlink throughput issue

I normally get (and have been getting for years) downlink and uplink speeds of 40-60MB's as reported...

    RT-AC68U Rev. E1 / Merlin 384.5 / USB3 not Working

    Hello everybody... Even tough it seems to be a known issue without a solution, I report it anyway. I've a RT-AC68U Rev. E1 with latest Merlin 384.5 installed. When I try to plug some USB3 device into the USB3 port, it just doesn't get recognized, no way. Nothing is shown in the log. If I put...

    Increase password length?

    Is it just me, or does 16 characters just not seem long enough? Also, why are we limited to a maximum of only 5 user accounts (6 if you include the administrator)? That's obviously not a limitation of Samba. Such limitations! Is there a workaround which doesn't limit me to SSH only access...

    AC68U on Frontier FIOs Lower UL/DL Speeds than MI424WR?

    I've been running our home network for several years on an AC68U and I've really enjoyed it. I have several wireless devices, but my primary system, and the system I'm doing my investigating with, is wired directly to the router. My service from the ONT is Ethernet. Recently, I had to upgrade...

After that, ac68u can't mount external hdd. (I can see hdd in 192.168.1.1 but it is unmounted) At first I think 8tb...

    Will there be any problems flashing merlin to a Japanese Version of the AC68U?

    Just as the title says, I want to make sure whether or not there would be a problem for this case before I even consider buying it locally instead of ordering through Amazon.

    I've converted some T-Mobiles to 68U's running Advanced Tomato and I would like to move to AIMesh. I was *hoping* I could simply cross-flash from Tomato; no success. I also tried flashing MerlinWRT at the Mini-CFE web server(?), which simply re-initializes my Tomato install. I assume, then, I...

    Reasons to buy the AC68U compared to the AC66U_B1?

    I did try searching but couldn't find a definitive comparison so could someone explain what if any benefits there are to an RT-AC68U over an RT-AC66U_B1? From what I understand they're the same underlying hardware and firmware for the 68 even works on the 66, is that correct? If so, other than...
