Hi guys, I've got what seems to be an odd issue. I'm running both Openvpn Client and Openvpn Server on the single router. An Ac86 running the latest stable Merlin firmware. To get this done, I followed a guide on this forum, where I setup a selective routing rule and installed a simple...

I recently found my way to this forum while researching which router to buy for a new apartment, and I'd like some guidance. I seem to have narrowed my router options down to the AX58u or the AC86u. They both cost $160-170, and I'd like to avoid paying too much more, but if you all think it's...

I noticed that the memory information shown at the router's web GUI ("Network Map > System Status") is different from the one shown by "/proc/meminfo". I read somewhere that the web GUI used information from "free" command, but the amounts are different as well. GUI # free total...

This started happening as soon as I upgrade from 384.17 to 384.19. About 10 minutes after a reboot the log is filling with this message for every WiFi device every ~30s or so: Dec 13 10:38:28 wlceventd: WLCEVENTD wlceventd_proc_event(481): eth5: Disassoc [redacted], status: 0, reason...

Situation: I have an old ASUS RT-N66U for my home network. I want to upgrade due to working from home, probably to the AC86U, or AX86U. For future-proofing purposes, I think the AX86U is probably better, even though I have zero WiFi-6 devices right now. Questions: Is the AX86U actually mature...

Hi, why, if my router (AC86U) have assigned a public ip, vpn server is telling me my ip is private (see photos attached)? Thanks in advance for any help

Hello. I have a RT-AC86U that I recently discovered that the 2nd LAN port is not working. Unfortunaly, my warranty expired 10 days ago so it seens I will have to (eventually) fix it myself. Everything else that I've tested for now has worked. The other LAN ports are okay, as well as the wifi...

My 86U was delivered 10 days ago. In that time I've spent a lot of time on these terrific forums and gotten a lot of great info. Now my head is spinning as I confront the various DNS settings spread across several pages in the GUI. Situation: one-person household. LAN devices are a Mac desktop...

I recently installed an RT-AC86U (following recommendations in another thread) and it has been working great. Except... a few times in the last couple of weeks my internet has gone down in the middle of the night. I know this because my burglar alarm (which is reliant on a wifi connection) has...

Hi all, I'm running the latest standard merlin on my AC86U alongside my older dsl-N55U which I managed to bridge a few months back. For a long long time I have always got a rather poor 10/11Mb/s down and 1mb roughly up speeds. This has been true of when I didn't have the AC86U and since I have...

I'm using the following method to check my AC86U router temperature from the command line. CPU, 2.4GHz radio and 5GHz radio: # cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp 73364 # wl -i eth5 phy_tempsense | awk '{ print $1/2+20 }' 55.5 # wl -i eth6 phy_tempsense | awk '{ print $1/2+20...
