RT-AX88U

I have one. It’s fantastic. But I whitelist devices. I don’t want my young kids having VPN access unless I manually turn it on. It was very easy to set up. I have an ASUS RT-AX88U. Just needed to upgrade the firmware to Asuswrt-Merlin. I don’t remember all the steps, but it was one of those things w

I Have BT Full Fibre but did not use their router. I have am Asus AX88U downstairs connected to the ONT over Gigabit. Upstairs I have an Asus AX86U as a Mesh router connected through a couple of devolo powerline units. I have signed up to Plusnet as I was out of contract with BT and plane on using t
