Sep 2025 NBN speed update

This is already an issue, just because a router is 1Gbit, doesnt mean its processor can handle that throughput, case in point my old Asus RT-AC68U. It is a gigabit router, but throughput with features turned on max out the CPU and you only get about 700mbit from the WAN. Lots of people with old jank

Why is my ASUS RT-AC68U capping 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi speed?

"My ASUS RT-AC68U seems to be limiting the speed on 2.4 GHz — I can’t even get close to 100 Mbps"- Thats about right. Practical speeds on 2.4GHz are about 50ish Mbps using default settings. Want higher speeds? Use 5GHz.

Help with my home network remake after 10 yrs

That's pretty much what I'm currently experiencing with AC68U. I could swear it used to download at 500-600 in our previous apartment, and now it's down to just 200-300 on a 1 gbps WAN as well - same ISP, same plan. No changes to settings.

WOL stopped after migrating from TP-Link to ASUS router

Thank you for continuing to offer suggestions! Turns out, breaking WOL is something ASUS routers are known to do. (conversely, TP-LINK routers are really good for WOL users) I was unable to find this information before, because the threads talk about WOL over the WAN - and I was searching for WOL ov

Tailscale Exit node not effective

Thanks I'll review this, however the issue is on the Asus AC68U end. Brume 2 exit node is working fine, as I have tested my PC, iPhone and android show the exit node IP when using the brume 2 exit node. However your plug-in looks promising for an Older Brume 1 I may want to test. Is that compatible

Bygga egen VPN för att dela konton för streaming - är det tekniskt möjligt?

Beror lite på hur kraftfull routern är, det tar ju lite datakraft att driva VPN. Har märkt att jag fick mycket bättre prestanda på min nya routers (AX86U) VPN-server än på min gamla router (AC68U). Vill man ha max prestanda så ska man nog köra VPN-servern på en separat dator, men grundläggande behov

RT-AC68U Replacement

That particular router is came out in 2012. Any reasonably current Asus router will be substantially better. If you can, I would get a WiFi 7 model. The RT-BE50 is one of the cheaper models, but it only has 3 ports, as the 4th is a 2.5Gb WAN port. If you don't need the 4 LAN ports that will work fin
