This router has an option to become a VPN server, and accept incoming connections. I don't see one for outgoing unless you plan to flash it which may kill a lot of the wireless features which is nice.naanwar wrote:just placed the order.

Not only they ship, they also do it for free.
looking forward to set this up with HideMyAss and watch my PBS and Netflix.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.
I'd top-up for the better model. It's much cheaper than buying it anywhere in Singapore.naanwar wrote:

Thanks.

Ok, I have it for 4 days already so a few words from my a bit geeky/nerdy perspective.x9200 wrote:Probably not, at least not initially unless I have some serious problems with port forwarding or/and routing. The original firmware seems to have pretty good functionality and as far as I know after rather brief reading more safe versions for dd-wrt flashing are only available since May (or so).
I have a lot of experience with openwrt (using it on all my routers since 2006) but I really don't want to brick this one so probably I start more conservatively and if it works I will not try to fix it.
Since I signed up with M1, i got a N56U. My wifi signal is really bad because the ONT is in the back of the condo. Currently in process of moving the router in to the living room with the Ethernet cable snaking through the bomb shelter vents.x9200 wrote:Back to my struggle from one post above, I ended up using Merlin. Basically this is the stock firmware with some options added including ssh access and custom scripts executions. The interface is almost identical.
BTW, if you a bit adventurous or have your guaranty already expired you may want to know that the N66U board contains fully functional uSD card slot that is reported to work also under the stock firmware. If one needs some extra on-router space and have the usb ports already taken this is a convenient solution.
Any update on this? I'm planning on doing the same. So before I go shopping, would like to know your feedback on this process and if possible a guide on what needs to be done.naanwar wrote: Since I signed up with M1, i got a N56U.

I rcvd the N66U last week from Amazon.
i have loaded the latest firmware on both.
Planning to flash the N66U with DD-WRT and install ProVPN (HideMyAss)....anyone in the forum go through this? Looking at the DD-WRT's forum is a bit scary....coz they had all kinds of issues when the N66U came out.....
I know someone who did exactly this and it works fine. He has an Asus N16, which is just the lower end of the same thing.pvisav wrote:Any update on this? I'm planning on doing the same.

Why do you say the RT-AC56U is faster than the RT-AC66U? From the official specs, they're essentially the same thing, only the 66 has a third antenna (and transmitter) for faster 3x wireless. The 56 is 2x wireless.stiwi wrote:If VPN is your concern, best buy now is newest Asus model that is available in SG since few days: RT-AC56U (3x times VPN speeds than AC66U). It has worse WiFi than RTC-AC66U though.
If you want best of both worlds, wait until RT-AC68U comes out which should be later this year.
