    How to get (multiplayer) Nintendo Switch to work over IPv6, avoiding CGNAT

    Hi guys and gals, I'm currently with a broadband provider that offers IPv4 via CGNAT. Because of this I can't use port forwarding and have my Asus RT-AX88U (running the latest Merlin) configured to use Native IPv6. This works well for almost all normal daily internet usage and I can externally...

    Support for GS-AX3000?

    Hello, I was looking to buy either an ASUS RT-AX58U (AX3000) or the newer GS-AX3000. The GS version has the same hardware as the RT version, just with a different firmware build, which reviews say is more responsive and includes more features (cite: Dong Knows Tech). However, I do not see...

    Is there a way to get an AC88U to perform "single cable" link aggregation on the WAN?

    Anybody that knows what Link Aggregation (802.3ad) is might be asking why would you want to do that with only 1 cable? Isn't that defeating the purpose? And you'd be right. But I have a unique problem. Here's the issue. I have a Netgear CM1100 cable modem which has 2 Ethernet ports to support...

    Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 and Merlin firmware

    Hi folks, hi Merlin :) I am upgrading to GT-Ax6000 from AX89X for two main reasons: 1) Lack of VPN tunnels per client and 2) No Merlin firmware support because of Qualcomm chipsets. Is it fair to assume that Merlin will be happy to support this router at certain point, like Ax11000 and...
