    RT-N66U How to connect to Guest Network on Repeater?

    I'm no longer at the site where I have access to these RT-N66U routers otherwise I could be more specific. I recommend running the Merlin Fork in these forums and searching this site or Google. There's plenty of good info and really, it's mostly a matter of just logging into the web interface...

    RT-N66U How to connect to Guest Network on Repeater?

    If I recall, the repeater has both the 2.4GHz & 5GHz channels but when configured in Repeater mode it only connects to one SSID over either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz channel but not both. You can however look at the difference between WDS & Repeater Mode. In WDS mode I think you can share the...

    RT-N66U How to connect to Guest Network on Repeater?

    The repeater connects to one SSID, the network and channel that it's repeating. Unfortunately, the repeater doesn't pass other SSID's like guest networks through the primary Wireless Router. In my case, I setup the Repeater to connect to a guest network on the Wireless Router. I was then able...

    RT-N66U (Merlin Fork) - Schedule Times with Bandwidth Limiter?

    Greetings SNBForums: Is it possible to set the bandwidth limiter on a MAC address according to a time schedule? I have a Satellite Internet connection and from 3am to 8am service is unlimited (19Mbps down / 3Mbps up) and doesn't count against the ISPs metered connection. After that we are...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Thanks, I read that article earlier today along with about a hundred other posts! I wish I would have known in advance that it's impossible to connect the repeater to the guest network on the main wireless router. There went my whole day in frustration and exhaustion -- DOH!

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Perhaps I can statically assign IPs by MAC address to the few computers that need unlimited bandwidth and then set DHCP scope of IPs that are dynamically assigned to a bandwidth limiter by IP Range? If that's possible then no guest network is required. Will that work? If not can anyone please...

    Thanks for clarifying that John9527, now how do I enable bandwidth limiting on the entire 5GHz guest network? I have the primary router in wireless router mode (default / WDS AP Hybrid mode) and the secondary router in repeater mode. I created a 5GHz guest network on the primary router and...

    2x Asus RT-N66U (Merlin Fork) - Traffic Monitor Log Size?

    Is it recommended to format this small 256MB USB Flash Drive I have as FAT or Ext2? I can use either Windows or Linux for this. Also, out of curiosity, can I SSH (currently enabled) into the router for this purpose? I found this guide on formatting and partitions UFDs for Asus WRT but I think...

    Two new Asus RT-N66U routers - Merlin Fork or Tomato (toast)?

    I went with the Merlin Fork on these forums — fantastic! WDS = Repeater Extended the range over 500' outdoors; amazing! Tried Tomato (Toast) on my old WRT54G v4 router configured as WDS (repeater) but the Asus boosted the Internet speeds 16x compared with the old WRT54G Router. Thanks for...

    Two new Asus RT-N66U routers - Merlin Fork or Tomato (toast)?

    I purchased a couple of Asus RT-N66U routers (v3.0.0.4.376 hw b1 printed on the label) recently from Amazon. Can someone recommend merlin vs tomato and does range improve on one firmware vs another? I'm in a rural area with no competing 2.4GHz wireless devices and need to get the most optimal...
