    AC68 with multiple bridge devices kills wifi

    Part of the problem with the wifi was that spanning tree was enabled on the N66 router the AC68 access point talks to. Once I turned that off it behaves much more deterministicly. The bridge devices seem to function as expected on the N66. When I use only vlan8 on the AC68 the DHCP request goes...

    AC68 with multiple bridge devices kills wifi

    I was able to segment my wired network into vlans with no problem. When I bring up the vlan interface with an address it works fine. If I create an new bridge device, add the vlan to it and bring up the bridge with the same address, the wifi connection gets weird. 50% loos of pings, not really...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    I'm using LastPass as well. I've also found that while they've disabled cut and paste they have not disabled drag and drop so if you look at the plaintext password you can select it and drag it to the password field and that works also, at least on FireFox. I'm not really sure how disabling cut...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 is out

    Come to that what does Traffic Analyzer even do on something that's acting as a switch?

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 is out

    Is there a reason USB Applications disappeared in Access Point mode? I was using the upstairs AC68 as a small media server and the one in my office for a printer while the actual WAN entry is down in the garage. It was working fine in 50. FWIW I couldn't upgrade the firmware until I turned it...

    SSH or OpenVPN

    You want a VPN of some kind. For what you are describing you would need to set your home router to be a VPN server and the notebooks to be clients when not at home. OpenVPN is best if you can get client software on your notebooks. PPTP should not be used, the crypto can be easily broken...

    Cannot connect OpenVPN on Asuswrt-Merlin

    Don't know then, working for me. This 2015-02-22 21:00:34 VERIFY FAIL -- bad ns-cert-type in leaf certificate makes me suspect that the server cert is a client one or vice versa. You have to explicitly make a server certificate in easy-rsa.

    Cannot connect OpenVPN on Asuswrt-Merlin

    It's unclear from what you've said but if you've used easy-rsa to make the client cert, then you need to use it to make a server certificate as well and then copy that, it's key, the certificate authority you generated and the Diffie-Hellman parameters and paste them into the GUI and then export...

    Cant access DDNS name inside LAN

    Simply that you can achieve the same effect using the web interface without needing to mess with SSH and the config files, if you're not comfortable with that. Doing that did something else I didn't like but it was awhile ago and I don't remember exactly what. It wasn't that it didn't work just...

    Cant access DDNS name inside LAN

    I solved my problem with this using hosts.postconf by adding a line like echo "192.168.1.1 ddns-name.asuscomm.com ddns-name" >> /etc/hosts If dhcp points your clients back to the router for DNS resolution than when on your LAN you will get the local address. I think you can do this...

    IPv6 with SLAAC

    Do you find that better than Hurricane Electric? I played with one there for awhile that mostly seemed to work but occasionally seemed to boggle some of my devices. Haven't tried it on 50_0 though. They did have a scriptable method for updating the IPv4 address though, which it looks like Sixxs...

    IPv6 with SLAAC

    Yes I do get a global scope address on eth0 that is close to the MonkeyBrains DNS servers, so I assume I'm OK there. I'm not at home at the moment so I can't get the specific numbers but that all looked good to me. Clearly some of it is working, I get the global address myself and a default...

    IPv6 with SLAAC

    I can ping the link local address of the default route gateway on the WAN port just nothing beyond that. That's different from the link local address on my end so I assume it's really going out and coming in. I've tried flushing ip6tables and the default is ACCEPT but that doesn't help. Is there...
