I've been on several help forums trying to solve this frustrating issue. Hope someone here can help. Here's the story:

I was using a self-built Windows 7 machine for 2 years. Suddenly, about 3 months ago, a specific random sound started occurring (sometimes 3x in a row, other times not for several hours) - I disabled all system sounds and it still continued, even though I didn't notice any USB hardware blips). Two months ago, I bought the new Intel NUC7i7BNH, installed Windows 10, and...

Hello all,

I'm wondering if someone can sanity check what I'm doing and even let me know if this is not possible on the AC-68U.

A little background, AT&T U-verse uses 802.1x certificate based authentication between the ONT and their provided gateway, so there's no way to pull that certificate and use it on your own personal router. So, people have found creative ways around this, a la: http://blog.0xpebbles.org/Bypassing-At-t-U-verse-hardware-NAT-table-limits

I just recently upgraded my internet from Extreme 250 to the gigabit network with Comcast xfinity. Problem is my Asus 5300 is having speed issues. Without router I am downloading in the upper 700's and with my router my speeds are in the low 200's. Tech support recommended I switch to the new Nighthawk router since they are not having issues with the speed. Anyone on a gigabit network having good speeds?

When I switched to the Asus RT-AC5300, the printer can associate to the router, and I can ping it, but windows will not find the printer, even if manually enter the IP information. I switch back to my old router, everything is fine.

Hi
How can I get rid of 3 files in my hard drive that look like this:

I used to be able to this many years ago using ssh or Telnet, I just don’t remember the steps or commands, “getting old is not for sissies”.

One more question: is there a way to rename my drive from Asus-Merlin firmware, I am running 380.66.6?
Thank you

I'm pretty new to VPNs and how to use one and have a question regarding using OpenVPN on a router with AsusWRT Merlin (AC-87u, 380.66_6)

Can i setup the OpenVPN in a way, that only specific clients in my LAN use it as WAN connection ? For example only selected static IPs in my Lan ?

I learned that on DD-WRT it's possible using iptables, so i guess that might be possible on AsusWRT Merlin, too ? But is there maybe a gui for this ?

Thanks for your answers!

As above - there is no way of setting a value for ntp_server1 via the UI. The default value is time.nist.gov. At one point this didn't matter as this field was never needed (the only reference to this setting I can find states that it isn't used - but that's from back in 2014). However, as of a couple of years back, this field is used:
