    Looking for Dual WAN Router with Load Balancing

    I currently run Untangle with a $150 annual subscription "Home Protect Plus" for the very useful extra "apps" which are just plugins to do extra things. One of them is the load balancer. It works excellently and is pretty easy to configure. I run this on a protectli appliance and it is very low...

    AdGuardHome [RELEASE] Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI)

    Cloudflare had issues this am. Your router is telling you that since its one of your up stream dns sources. To avoid whole home outages its good to have at least two seperate upstream providers like cloudflare and google. Its not as likely both with have an issue at the same time.

    Isolate IP cameras

    The guys are right. A 2nd nic in your HTPC connected to a dumb (or smart) POE switch where all the cameras home is the simplest solution. Things to consider: * Static IPs for the cameras or dhcp? If dhcp then the htpc or a smart switch would have to act as the dhcp server. * Use a different ip...

    ASUS firmware qos not working

    L&LD is correct, traditional QoS is broke and has been for a long time. Not likely to be fixed either. At least in the near term. Adaptive QoS should work but it needs more user intervention to get the desired results. Check out Flex QoS for Adaptive QoS...

    Honeywell T10 Doesn't See WiFi Network

    I had a similar issue with a T8 thermostat. Worked fine on merlin code up till 2 revs ago. Jumped through all the hoops (factory reset, manually configured etc..) to no avail. Went back n forth from last working merlin to next two revs and everu time the T8 would never see either radio ssd no...

    Google Ads

    I am not aware of a way to block all ads completely on a global scale. Some ads just cannot be blocked with the typical DNS based filtering since the ads are hosted on the domain being used (think youtube).

    Accessing different subnets (from 192.168.0.x to 192.168.100.1 and 192.168.1.x).

    It might be possible yes. You would have to setup static routes in each of the 2 down stream routers and possibly even the ONT. A better solution would be to Have one router and then everything behind that is switched on the same network. What you are describing is a router behind a router...

    Yaz Guest wifi

    Probably need to replace the 2nd dns server ip with one of those used by your vpn provider. Check the two boxes force dns and force all traffic out vpn.

    Cannot flash Merlin on RT-AX56U V2

    I would not count on it. Only Merlin knows what his plans are but I don't recall hearing him post that he would be adding that model. Good luck!

    Cannot flash Merlin on RT-AX56U V2

    Look at the posts above yours. The v2 appears to be different (a China specific variant) so it does not work with the fork. The post directly above yours gives a possible work around but it wont be a Merlin supported fork from what I can see.

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    I can second Daves suggestion if you want Cake / piece of cake while getting more throughput then you need different hardware. Ive got OpenWRT running on a protectli fw appliance. Both AsusMerlin and OpenWRT are great operating systems. OpenWRT might take a little more understanding and...

    LAN LACP/LAGG (802.3ad) Throughput & Balancing Issue

    Have you checked the cpu and system usage from cli both with and without lagg configured on the router? If the drivers are decent the overhead should be small for lagg. Another thing to consider (Merlin is more likely to know the specifics) is when comparing OEM firmware and Merlins fork, they...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.2.5 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

    Glad you got the outcome you were looking for. For clarity, amtm is a shell or menu that allows you to just click a few buttons to seamlessly download/install any of the various scripts supported. amtm is in the firmware now but that does not mean the applications come installed and ready to...
