Hi, first post from a lockdown 'that's-a-good-project' router newbie.
I'm in France using an SFR box. Got as far as cascading the Asus as a VPN Client. My wifi signal fluctuates and I think causes my VPN (usually good, VPNUK) to drop. Restarting today kicked it back into life. I read the kill switch in Merlin (not installed yet) is for stopping traffic being routed if the VPN drops. However, I'd like (wish?) that the box could restart if that occurs. My end goal is to use the Asus with a Smart TV to access UK channels, and it'd be a pain to keep turning the router on and off.
2nd query, I am thinking of changing from Smart Connect to separate 2.5 and 5Ghz channels to use wifi with an iMac in same room on 5Ghz (for speed) and TV with VPN on ethernet. Guess I need to dive in to Policy posts on here to do that? Rather than the VPN Client menu I've used to far?
If that gets complicated would sacrifice 2 channels for having the box reboot automatically!
Thanks, and hope you can point me in the right direction...
