    ISP based Dual NAT AC68U

    While I'd love to see a simple reset solve the double NAT issue, sadly I know it won't. Not to say it isn't a good idea, and I will certainly do that, but I ran into the NAT issue before and the simple solution was to bridge the ISP modem. When the ISP is Bell however, nothing is simple, lol.

    ISP based Dual NAT AC68U

    Actually no, but I am behind. Our move has been a bit of a gong show, and I haven't had my setup going for over a year. Now that you've publicly shamed me though, I better make it my next priority, lol :( Updated ;)

    ISP based Dual NAT AC68U

    So first thank you everyone for the input so far, like I said I'm decent at the basics, but I have a lot to learn (which was painfully obvious reading skeal's thread, lol). I think I should back up and be more complete with the setup. First, the ISP. Bell, through the HH3000 supplies Fibre...

    ISP based Dual NAT AC68U

    Access to ports that were easily forwarded with a bridged modem, for one. Forwarding modem ports to the router hasn't been working, although I'm going to spend some time on it. I have a Synology NAS that is able to deal with it for some apps, not others. The ASUS router won't resolve the DDNS...

    ISP based Dual NAT AC68U

    Hi all, We've just relocated to a new area of Canada, and our new ISP is Bell (fibre). The supplied modem serves several functions, including FibeTV and VOiP. I'm trying to find a solution to resolve the dual NAT issue, that doesn't include bridging the ISP modem (not sure they will even do...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.63_2 is now available

    Hey all, I'm on an AC68U, and currently running 378.55 . (I know, I need to pay attention to these updates, lol). Do I need to reset to factory coming from that version, and are there features worth updating for? I'm a moderate user, QoS, 20 manually assigned ip's, NAS, heavy streaming...

    Any reason to upgrade ?

    Thanks Martinr, I will give it a day or so and keep an eye on things. Worst case scenario I know how to follow the steps on the method I quoted previously. Just trying to save myself redoing some of the work today, lol.

    Any reason to upgrade ?

    Can someone help me out here... if I read this correctly, the Factory Defaults Reset in the GUI does not sufficiently clear the old settings/remnants of the old firmware? I just went through all this, updating, reset to factory, re-enter settings, etc. Do I need to go back and follow the...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 is out

    Happy Weekend all! I have an AC68U, any reason I shouldn't update to this firmware? My use is pretty basic, I have a bridged modem into the router, 68 does all routing. Assigned IP's for devices, which range from NAS (Synology) to Apple TV, Roku, etc. We use the 2.4 and 5.0 bands fairly...

    Most solid RMerlin firmwares for these 2 routers

    Thank you both for the thoughtful replies, and my apologies for the tardy response...Halloween is like Christmas for a good friend of mine, and it was a busy weekend, lol. M1ch43lk, are you on the 87 or 68? I assume 68 but you know what assume does...;) Thank you again, this is such a...

    Most solid RMerlin firmwares for these 2 routers

    MODS, I just realized I should have posted in RMerlins section, sorry and feel free to move. Hey all, Just wondering for the AC68U and AC87U, what are currently the best performing firmwares for each? Looking for stability and wireless range/throughput. My uses are pretty standard, no Open...

    Strange log entries AC68U...Help?

    So if I'm forwarding ports already, and I disable upnp, what's likely to break by doing that?

    Asuswrt-Merlin 374.42_2 is out

    If coming from 38_2, I assume a full reset and deletion of old wireless profiles on devices is recommended?

    Portforward dont work

    Every application on the Synology box requires a port forwarded in the router. 5000/5001 for DSM access, 7000/7001 for file station etc. Your external/public ip is what you use, plus the forwarded port ie. 70.75.xxx.xxx:5000 I have found that if my ISP connection is not in bridge mode it is...

    "best" consumer router, Asus AC68U sucks, or is it just me? (crappy signal distances

    Perhaps instead of making your one and only post start with the title that something sucks, you could instead ask for help. There were some issues with earlier versions of the wireless driver. If you look in RMerlin's firmware section here, you'll see that his custom firmware is pretty solid...

    For the brave: Synology DSM 5-beta Announced

    I'm still on 4.1 for exactly that reason... so many reports of issues with 4.2/4.3, no chance I'm going bleeding edge with 5.x

    What are some cool things you do with your NAS (network attached storage) device?

    LOL, ok I'll play along. * FTP to trade files with my friends. * Stream movies from outside the house (on the road, over at friends house, etc) * Stream music (less important as I use iTunes Match anyway) * Typical backup stuff * PLEX server * iTunes Server
