    Wireless Log

    I have been using Merlin FW on all my (supported) routers for as long as I can remember. Today, I decided I would like to experiment with AiMesh and started by flashing the official FW (RT_AC68U_300438445717) on my AC68U AP before tackling my main AC86U router. When I consider some of the lost...

    Roaming assistant

    I have never got this feature to work. Basically, I have 2 access points (AC68U) and 1 router (Ac86U) with same ssid but each with different channels (1,6,11). The Roaming Assistant is enabled on all with a switch over value of -70db. Well, I have wifi devices as low as -86DB and none ever...

    Blocking Camera Access from WAN

    I am running Merlin FW v384.11 on an Asus RT-AC86U with OpenVPN 1 enabled. Recently, I added 4 IP Wansview cameras and noticed when using their app I was able to access each camera remotely. The app does not provide any capability to restrict wan access and when talking to Wansview support they...

    I am experimenting with a simple setup as shown below. PC2 is hosting an EventGhost web server. With the static route defined PC1 can access this server on PC2 without issue.

    FIXED: New Router Installed, LAN broke

    Today I swapped out my old RT-AC68U for a RT-AC86U. First thing I did was flash Merlin FW 384.9 for this router. After that, except for a few wireless devices that would not initially accept the manual IP assignment from the new router, everything went quite easy. Except for one thing that has...

    PC Access Across Multiple VLAN

    Below is a rough image of something I am considering if my objective is at all possible. To the switch Netgear GS108T, I have added two additional vlans. Vlan 10 would include most of my PC and printers. Vlan20 would be all my home automation (HA) devices such as Hue, Smarthings hubs...

    Asus Ac86U VS Ac3100

    Looking to upgrade/replace my Ac68U which recently is "struggling" with all the (Home automation, servers,etc) devices I keep adding to the network. Looking at both the 86U and 3100 and noticed the latter is on sale. Both routers are available at Best Buy Canada for $269. Is there any...

    Wan Restored VS Router Rebooted

    I have a very simple 1 line wan-start script that sends me (EventGhost Server) a message each time the router is rebooted. curl "http://<local-IP:port>/?Main.Router.Reboot" The problem is each time my ISP has a hiccup long enough for my wan link to go down this script runs when the link is...

    Wifi Access Points on Same Channel????

    I have 3 Wi-Fi access points (all named Home_2Net) in my home utilizing channels 1,6 and 11 on the 2.4 band. Is there any reason why I could not assign each of these 3 points the same channel?? My Wi-Fi then would look like: SSID: Home_2Net (times 3) CHAN: 6

    WAN address Local IP

    Starting sometime last Friday AM my WAN address(es) assigned by my ISP became local IP. One router (RT-AC68U) connected to one of the four ports on the modem became 192.168.0.2 while the other router (RT-N66U) became 192.168.0.3. I also connected a PC directly to the modem and its "wan" address...

    WAN ip Renews without warning

    For the past 2 months or so we have been experiencing some odd behaviour with our internet connection. We will suddenly lose our internet but only for 1 minute or less. When the connection is restored, we have a brand new IP. I am assuming this problem lies with my ISP but I would like to get...

    Force word inclusion within forum search

    I find searching for topics within this forum extremely frustrating. More often than not keywords are omitted because they are "too common, too short". The search results in numerous posts not even closely related to what I am looking for. For example, this morning I was looking for posts...
