    OpenVPN host resolution, bi-directional routing, and more

    I got the VPN connection to work bi-directional. I can reach any machine from other side using it's IP Address. What I did. 1) While troubleshooting, I toggled and every option back and forth on the Client Side to see if that would expose any hidden options that might lend a clue. Firewall...

    OpenVPN host resolution, bi-directional routing, and more

    Still researching my issues on google. Nothing I found earlier worked. Today, I found another article that so clearly describes how to do what I want to do, but it doesn't work either. Does anyone know if I'm missing something, or if it's broken in 378.55? This is the first time I've tried...

    OpenVPN host resolution, bi-directional routing, and more

    My apologies in advance if there is a clear guide somewhere but google search has turned up many posts, and I've spent 2 long days trying various combinations, none of which seemed to work for me. I have set up OpenVPN between two Asus RT-AC68 routers. The AC68U is Server, and the AC68P is...

    Does AC68U and AC68P hang for anyone else?

    So far, over 3 days, 22 hours of up time with no hangs since flashing and re-configuring under 378.55. Other changes besides upgrading to new firmware is that I left more settings at stock. Primarily, 1) In wireless, didn't change anything on the Professional Tab this time, even though I...

    Does AC68U and AC68P hang for anyone else?

    I too am soooo torn. On the one hand, the ASUS Routers provide a set of features in a single device than can't be beat. But I agree that in the end it's only worth it if it works. For me, I don't need many of the features, Cloud / USB/NAS/Media Sharing, etc, so I have those all turned off. I...

    Does AC68U and AC68P hang for anyone else?

    OK, upgraded my home router to Merlin's 378.55 today with full reset. Won't have a good feel if it's significantly better for a few days. The nvram save of the dhcp_staticlist saved a lot of time!. Thanks. Is there something similar for port forwarding settings? Still had to enter all of...

    Does AC68U and AC68P hang for anyone else?

    Thanks to everyone participating on this issue. Appreciate all the advice and the nvram save info. Sorry that I myself have been out of the loop for a while until again just now, but I have been busy on so many other things and I have just gotten so used to just reaching oven and hitting the...

    Does AC68U and AC68P hang for anyone else?

    Excellent recommendation on the NVRAM save utility - I'll definitely look into that. I have spent too many weeks of my life entering and re-entering dozens of MAC Address / IP Reservations into router configuration pages. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Does AC68U and AC68P hang for anyone else?

    Thank you for the replies. I have indeed performed several full resets and full reflashes with latest firmware with Merlin's 378.53, but neither the hardware swaps, or full resets solved the issue while still on 378.53. I did upgrade to 378.54 in-place without a reset when it became...

    Does AC68U and AC68P hang for anyone else?

    I have an AC68U and an AC68P. I used the AC68U since September 2014 on Merlin's 376.47 and things worked great! The router was ultra reliable and stable. Uptime seemed unlimited. The router may only have been rebooted a few times in several months and that probably to dust or re-arrange...

    N66U -> AC87U or AC68U

    I have similar question. I currently have a mix of N-66U and AC68U/P at a few locations I am responsible for (office, remote offices, home, vacation home, parent's, sister's, cousins', friends', etc -- unpaid tech support). My N-66U routers run Tomato and are great, but they aren't able to...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.53 is now available

    Had to thank RMerlin for this release and all his hard work in general. I use and love tomato on my RT-n66u, especially for it's excellent QOS, and "Access Restriction" filtering features, and general ease of use. But when I upgraded one of my routers to the RT-AC68u, tomato was just not ready...
