    Import static IP assignments

    I do manual static IP assignments to all my stationary devices (TV/IP Dects/APs/smart hubs/IOT devices/ smart stereos..... Etc). It is a pain in the rear to reinput every single one when I had to reset the Asus routers due to various causes (eg botched firmwares.....). Is there a way to export...

    What's the most current firmware for ET12

    Hello gurus! I am experiencing upload throughput issues and reached out to ASUS and then realized that my ET12 came with firmware 3.0.0.4.386_48826 that is even newer than on their website 3.0.0.4.386_48823. Is the 48823 most current stable for the ET12? Should I manually downgrade from the...

    Zenwifi ET12 Poor Uplink performance

    Hi Gurus! I had a AiMesh (AP Mode) of 7 XD6/XD6S and they worked fabulous. Wireless throughputs on a 1G Fiber WAN (router is a Edgerouter 6P) can go as high as 950mpbs in both up/down directions according to speedtest.net and fast.com So just acquired a pair of ET12s to add 2.5G WAN/LAN and 6G...

    Advice on ZenWifi upgrade re-config

    TLDR: I am going to add a pair of ET12s into my home mesh based on 7 XD6/XD6S. Is it better to reconfig the whole mesh using ET12 as the mangement unit or run the pair of ET12 separate from current XD6/XD6S setup? My home is currently setup using EdgeRouter ER6P as a router, and 7 XD6/XD6S...

    Clients not showing up in Network client list

    RecentlyCame back to XD6 Aimesh from OrbiPro6. Much better for me who likes to tinker. One thing that I noticed that bugs me, is that Aimesh Network Client list is very problematic, especially on larger networks. I have a lot of connected devices at home, multiroom apt with thick concrete...

    Proper firewall for dynamic IPv6 networks

    Will ASUSWRT even implement proper firewalls for dynamic IPv6 networks? My ISP uses DHCPv6-PD to assign a dynamic IPv6 address to the router and a dynamic /54 IPv6 subnet to the LAN. I currently uses EdgeRouters as they are the few that can do proper firewall for DHCPv6-PD LANs. Will ASUSWRT...

    Wifi 6 AP with multi-gig wired backbone

    Hello gurus, Any recommendations for dual-band 8-stream (2.4G 4x4/5G 4x4) wifi 6 APs ( no need for routing capabilities as I will use a separate router) with 2.5G/5G Ethernet backbone connection? This is for a home installation with multiple rooms with thick walls, but the good thing is that...

    Does 802.11k/v/r work with APs individually configured? Or different vendors?

    Hello gurus! I am wondering if 802.11k/v/r works with consumer/pro-summer grade APs (Netgears/Asus) configured independently via a wired network? Or do they only work in their respective Mesh or repeater configs? For instance, I have a pair of Asus Zenwifi XT8 and they can act as APs or in...

    AC88U 3.0.0.4.380_1354 does not resolve local dhcp names

    I was on Merlin 380.57 on my AC88u and recently changed back to official 380_1354 (hard reset after reverting back to official). On the Merlin 380.57, the AC88u can resolve local DNS names from the dhcp leases and manual ip address assignment names. But on 380_1354, the AC88u does not seem to...

    Hello, Is there any way to use certs from SSL vendors with Merlin FW? I am on 378.56/378.55 and I had followed online tutorials for previous firmware versions of uploading cert.pem and key.pem to /etc via SSH. The problem is that when httpd is restarted, it ignores the existing cert.pem and...

    AC66U tunnelbroker IPv6 tunnel hangs

    I have several AC66U/AC68U/AC87U acting as routers for my home and offices. On an AC66U and AC87U, I have a IPv6 tunnel configured via Tunnelbroker.net. The tunnel on AC87U has been stable and just works. However, the tunnel on the AC66U will hang sporadically and stops passing IPv6 traffic...

    Got 378.50 running on my AC87U and so far it seems stable:D Nice work! Rmerlin. I am running IPv6 on my network via an HE tunnel and so far everything works fine. I understand that the dnsmasq can resolve dns queries of ipv4 dhcp clients that it gives out, but can dnsmasq reolve IPv6 dns for...

    Client Status hard coded for 24-bit subnets?

    I have my home network on a 192.168.0.0/22 subnet and the AC87U is at 192.168.0.1 on LAN. The client status only shows 192.168.0.0/24 devices, but nothing outside of that range. Is this hard coded somewhere? Can this be changed to show clients for my whole 192.168.0.0/22 subnet? Before...

    How to config dnsmasq to resolve static IPv6 hosts?

    I have a AC87U and on Merlin's 376.47. I have implemented dhcp6s.postconf jffs scripts to get the dhcp6s to dish out local DNS server (running on my Synology) primarily to resolve local static IPv6 hosts (NAS/printer..... etc) Is there anyway to add these static IPv6 hosts to dnsmasq on the...

    Hello all, I had WPA2 Enterprise working nice on all my AC68U and AC66U for wireless authentication. But seems like AC87U has dropped support for WPA2 Enterprise ? Any chance of it getting re-enabled? Many thanks.
