I currently have a RT-AC3200 Running Merlin. I have been thinking about possible upgrades
before I get my fiber internet installed. Does the community have any suggestions? Or is my
current router plenty enough? Thanks in Advance!

Improving ipv6rd performance

$

My ISP hasn't yet implemented full native ipv6 for their customers. They do, however, provide an ipv6rd gateway.

The downside of using it, is that my speed drops from ~700 mbit down to ~120 mbit. I am guessing this has something to do with hardware acceleration not being supported on the router, as both CPU cores on my RT-AC87U go up to 100%.

Is there any way to improve this?

And a related question, what kind of speed can I expect if I'd upgrade to an RT-AX88U?

I am working from home and VPN to my office has been fine until I upgraded to 384.16 on my RT-AC86U router. If I connect and disconnect. The VPN client will not reconnect again until I reboot my router. Is this a known issue or is there something I should check?

100% cpu usage on core 1 of AC88U

Hello,

I've been using the Merlin firmware for my router for quite a while now, and just today I noticed that core 1 on my Asus AC88U is pegged at 100% all of the time, and restarting the router does not solve the issue. This must have started in the last week, because I updated to the newest firmware about a week ago, and the router was not having this issue.

Is there a way to see what is using the processor in the router (similar to task manager)? The only thing I've done recently was...

AC88U with 384.15 fw - alexa issue

Hi,

I have a AC88U and I am using AsusWrt-Merlin for the last 2 years.
My Alexa integration was working fine. But I used it rarely.

Yesterday I realized that it is not working.
I disabled the skill and re-enabled, activating and registering both on router and Alexa skill.

My router is seen on Alexa app as "wireless router" and when I click , it searches for my devices.
Then it gives an error :
"Some Alexa devices are hidden. Alexa can't control Wi-Fi for all Alexa enabled devices."

There...

[DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

Hi there,
This thread is about GNUton's Merlin builds for DSL devices.

* A few words about how this project started:
Some days back I bought a DSL-AC68U. I got a used one for 40 euros. As far as I know, this devices is pretty much as an RT-AC68U but it sells cheaper because... maybe... there is no custom firmware for it, so people think they are worse.
Then I decided to make an experiment, let's see how much the price of these devices will be once people will know that there are Asus...

Concurrent OpenVPN Server alongside OpenVPN Client (Express VPN)

I am hoping that there is a simple answer to this question ….and ideally a simple means of implantation via webui without recourse to complicated scripts. Can an OpenVPN Server run concurrently with an enabled OpenVPN Client allowing secure remote Router/LAN/WAN access whilst that VPN Client is running??

To explain I have a OpenVPN Client (Express VPN) setup on an RT-AX88U which is always active with policy rules enabling specific applications/processes access via WAN. For reasons of...

AC86U Reboot Issue - 384.16

Had significant errors on cable modem so I rebooted it to clear counters and re-sync. When it came back online the AC86U said the WAN was disconnected, system log indicating ISP DHCP issue. No worries, I'll just reboot router from GUI and it went through the motions, came back and said WAN was disconnected. Then I noticed my RAM was almost used up when it should have been about 53%. I rebooted the router again and same symptoms. It was then when I noticed the system uptime was in days when...

Some general questions about QoS

Can anyone advise me how best to set up QoS please? In particular…

Is it better to select manual or automatic setting?

Given that the main bandwidth-sensitive functions in my household are streaming and intermittent gaming (mostly using an xBox), which pre-set should I choose?

Which of the three Queue Discipline methods would be likely to give the best results?

Is the FreshJR variation needed for best results or is it only applicable in specific circumstances?

Is there consistency...

384.15 AC86U 5Ghz Dropping/Disconnecting

Hi, is anybody else experiencing random dropping of their wifi on 384.15 AC86U? I was on 384.12 before and had no issues until I updated last night.

Laptops and phones would have to disconnect and reconnect, or would disconnect on their own. I haven't really tested 2.4ghz since I mainly use 5ghz. Rebooting the router fixed it temporarily last night, and twice today.

I saw a ton of auth and deauth messages in the syslog, but I did find a thread saying that was normal in the later versions....

[Fix] Wifi continually disconnecting and reconnecting with smart connect

Hi all

When running on 384.13 I had great success with my network, everything was nice and stable. Since then, I've had some horrific instability on portable devices and only in some locations - ironically locations with strong signal.

I think I've finally found the cause - the Smart Connect seems to work differently now.

All I've done to fix it is increase the "dwell time" (10 min) and "window time" (2 min) so that my device will get auto-balanced less often when I'm in areas with...
