    dns for guest network with aimesh 2.0

    Just picked up a refurbed ax58u for cheap. flashed stock and reset and its running great. I noticed that with the new firmware in guest 1, 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks have different subnets now. I think thats awesome and a very welcome feature that would surely improve the isolation, which...

    vpn uses wan dns servers?

    it seems that whether i set accept dns to strict or exclusive it still seems to depend on what is set in the wan dns section, even though i have dns options set in the advanced config by the .opvn file. am i doing something wrong or misunderstanding something? I wonder if this explains why...

    Asus, Netgear, and TP-LINK routers cracked at China's Tianfu world competition

    https://mobile.twitter.com/tianfucup RT-AX86U, TP-Link TL-WDR7660 and the NETGEAR Nighthawk R7800 Don't know if this should be in the security threads. From what I gather mostly SQLi attacks? The Netgear and TP-Link had a couple. Any idea if this was acknowledged by the vendors, when...

    what is the best wireless consumer router for security?

    I'm starting to think asus and merlin is not the way to go. I liked asus cause they update their firmware with security updates quite frequently. But I feel most of its advocates are against using vpns and secure operating systems. Even Merlin himself doesn't seem to be much into security...

    vpn with guest network and dnsmasq

    is dnsmasq enabled by default? i set up a openvpn client on 384.19 firmware. i setup policy rules strict with accept dns to exclusive. it was my understanding that dnsmasq did not work when the vpn is set this way and only worked for non tunneled devices. and i did not see many entries in...

    brand new AC86u has a crashlog. what does any of this mean?

    brand new ac86u using merlin 384.19. SHould I return the router? is it related to qos or something? Seems like it happened as I logged in to make a change on vpn policy rules. My only guess since the last time stamp before the crash log was just a bunch of wlceventd_proc_event which...

    Option to disable wirless login?

    Does asus merlin have an option to disable wireless login like some routers or openwrt and dd-wrt have? I notice the stock firmware does not have this option so wondering if Merlin does. Only options are to disable wan and add specific ip address. But imo this is not enough login security...
