    In some dire need of assistance (AX86U)

    Did a few of those I wasn't doing, thanks. fwiw a few of my Kasa switches were disconnecting when I was meshing AC86U+AX86U. However running AX86U alone, they've stayed connected about a month so far, have 50 devices online. If we move and I add a few more IoT, I might run a 2nd router with...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U 3.0.0.4.386.41535 30/12/2020

    I have enough coverage right now on its own, expecting to move to a bigger house at some point this year, so I played around meshing my AC86U to my AX86U. I particularly wanted to look at AiMesh 2.0's new AP binding. It seems because I MAC filter around 50 clients, it's too many rules and I...

    Is my 86U dead?

    Yes, read about that when I bought it. Phew, 2y warranty and receipt says Nov2018, except Corona may have me waiting a bit.

    Is my 86U dead?

    Thanks for your help, Nuclear Reset and latest RMerlin as above fixed it (I think). I then uploaded my CFG file I saved yesterday and I couldn't access any bookmarks again. So I started all over, no CFG upload, manually added MAC filters, didn't touch anything else for now. Made a new CFG file...

    Is my 86U dead?

    I could try that but it doesn't make sense it would suddenly give out, update version was Nov/19 when I did it. Thanks for the link, RMerlin didn't have support when I bought (I've used his builds on my previous Asus routers). Looks like it's on the list now, latest release here...

    Is my 86U dead?

    On latest firmware not a fresh update, yesterday lost internet. Connected modem cable to my old 66U (VPN router, VPN turned off) and works, I have a 68U as well I was AImeshing so I can revert to that. Tried factory reset on the 86U, then reloading settings I saved earlier, didn’t work. Does a...

    How to setup SSID for VPN and SSID for Regular ISP using MerlinWRT

    Great work! I could have used this a few months ago before buying a 2nd N66, though it only cost me $140 for 2 of them, I could have used the $100 gift card towards something else. I have since connected servers/drives respectively to each router. Router 2 has a US VPN permanently ON and also...

    qos and voip questions

    Finally got around to doing this yesterday and thanks g_m. Your example made a lot of sense once I looked more closely at the QoS UI. A few things left unanswered. 1. The default does not list this rule: "Create a DNS, Time, NTP and RSVP entry. This is in the drop down as a Service Name, so...

    qos and voip questions

    Thank you gm :) The default list actually looks good for us. I just need to set the Ooma VoIP as the highest priority. On second thought, is there a way to put online video streaming as a higher priority than downloading torrents? Or perhaps put torrents in the lowest category, how...

    qos and voip questions

    Up, anyone? And as moogoo88 says, what do we put in the blank? Thx!

    qos and voip questions

    Which FW are you using? I haven't even started yet as I'm waiting for my Ooma to arrive. It won't let you save an empty entry?
  13. A

    qos and voip questions

    Ok, so enter the QoS settings I posted AND what you said above? This is what's currently set: The selectable "Service Names" are: DNS, Time, NTP, RSVP FaceTime(TCP) FaceTime(UDP) FTP,SFTP,WLM,File/WebCam HTTP, SSL, File transfers Netmeeting(TCP) PPTV SMTP, POP3, IMAP, NNTP Windows Live WWW...

    qos and voip questions

    Correct in my case?... 20/1.5 QoS = ON Upload BW = 1200 Kb/s Download BW = (blank) >User-defined QoS MAC address of my Ooma Telo, Highest Priority (everything else blank?)

    VPN Server vs paid OpenVPN Client

    I'm paying for a VPN, I've setup OpenVPN Client on Merlin's FW and it's working well. However, I haven't setup VPN Server (which I understand when I am outside the house, connects to my home network and tunnels traffic through it, correct?) If I'm out of the country and have no 3G service...
