Dayum, also thinking of getting this router to replace my trust 68u, primarily because of AES-NI support. Already running USB cooling fans on my 68u - can those that are still using this router confirm this fixes the intermittent issues?

QUOTE(NoobHacker @ May 18 2019, 09:04 PM) I personally feel 68u software is far stabler than 86u. Not a wise upgrade imo. My friends and I having around 5 units summed up and we all encounter different minor issues. Thanks for the feedback. The only attraction for the 86u is the CPU supports AES-NI which I require, and Merlin support. Maybe I need to look at equivalent routers with the same SOC.I run china unit and did not encounter heating issue. I personally don't believe 80c is high for ARM CPU, unless it already facing dc, slowdown or missing packet. It shows 80c but I still can touch the casing. I used to have routers that started to dc or drop packet, even the plastic cover can burn my finger.  My 68u never misses a beat. Rock solid stable, but to achieve the throughput I need with OpenVPN I have to overclock the CPU. This post has been edited by Diademz: May 19 2019, 02:32 PM |
