    RT-AC86U Strange Behavior

    I set my dns filter in the LAN "on" and "router", and since I haven't been able to reboot it. It may be a coincidence, but it is weird. I reboot through the GUI, and it goes through the motions, and the LED's never go off, and they always go off two or three times during the reboot process...

    What’s the best router for VPN speeds?

    RT-AC86U Problems with Smart Connect

    So it seems like there is a problem with my Smart connect feature on my RT-AC86U. Every time I enable it, all of my devices are connected to 2.4GHz. Even if I disable it and try to get into the 5GHz channel, it doesn't let me in. I have found a fix to it by changing the Control Channel from Auto...

    RT-AC86U is cost-effective, low-power OpenVPN, IPSEC appliance?

    An associate just bought two RT-AC86u's for $360 dollars. Merlin firmware makes it pretty easy to use this machine to maintain an OpenVPN encrypted tunnel to a VPN service at over 200 megabits per second. And Merlin reports that the '86u does IPSEC encryption at near 300 megabits per second. It...
