    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    Routers: RT-AC5300 RT-AC68U (connected by AIMesh) I have my routers automatically reboot every morning at 4am but since upgrading to 386.12, when my devices reconnect after my router reboots, they are now connecting to 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz? I have both bands saved on my phone for example but...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    RT-AC5300 2.4 and 5G#2 works fine 5G#1 connects but these no upload data when doing a speed test. Internet doesn't work very well if at all. I've done 2 clean factory defaults but same problem. Any suggestions, I'm going back versions at the moment but still the same thing.

    RT-AC5300 Best smart connect settings

    I tried the next 4 versions above it. Connections drop out. Total nightmare. I do a cold factory restore many times. I've given up. 384.18 works like dream! Are any new versions stable in the last 6 months? My other question is about Smart Connect...

    RT-AC5300 Best smart connect settings

    Hi, I'm still running 384.18 cause the new version isn't stable for me. I gave up trying in early 2021 trying to test new versions. Are there any stable versions for any RT-5300 people after 384.18? I noticed with Smart Connect on, my 5-GHz-1 band never gets used. I have left my smart...

    Something has happened to my AC5300 router...

    I found all versions after 384.18 unstable on my RT-AC5300. I notice it the most on my security cameras (Swann), which will always drop out after a short period of time. I tried everything including a hot or cold reset as well as a lot of help on the forum here. Never a problem with 384.18...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    Everything fine except my Swann Security Cameras lag and drop out, any suggestions on how to fix? I think I'll go back to 384.18, I found no issues with this version compared to the new versions.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    It's been nearly 2 hours now.... I just hope rebooting the router after upgrading didn't stuff it up.... It's done, took just over 2 hours. Need to update the log file to say it can take up to 3 hours I think.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I just did an upgrade from 384.18 to 386.2.1 where the login screen has been blank for over 60 minutes now when I try to log in. After about 10-15 minutes, it goes back to the login screen and hangs on 'transferring data from 192.168.1.1. Any suggestions? I also rebooted the router after 20...

    Does the VPN kill switch work with Merlin?

    I only really need a couple of devices running at max speed. The other 10 devices in my home, 50Mbps download is more than enough. I worked out a backdoor to get maximum VPN speed without buying a new router. Go to LAN, Enable Manual Assignment Below that, choose the device (1) below which you...

    Does the VPN kill switch work with Merlin?

    I don't really under the Policy Rules (strict) so I changed it to Yes and it seem to have fixed it now. Thanks :) New problem: I've found that I'm getting half the download speed when running the VPN through router my router (50Mbps) compare to using ExpressVPN application on (90Mbps) my PC...

    Does the VPN kill switch work with Merlin?

    I did a factory default (Initialize) and it fixed it. Some new problems or maybe it's the same one? If I restart the ASUS router while my PC (LAN) is already on, the router will connect to the VPN server but my PC (shows ISP ip) will not connect to the VPN server unless I drop the LAN connects...

    Does the VPN kill switch work with Merlin?

    I think it's bugged now. When I try to turn on 'Service state' it says connected but when I check my IP on 2 different browsers, it says my ISP IP? The VPN status page says 'connected' too...

    Does the VPN kill switch work with Merlin?

    yes it's on! My NBN router that it connects to my ASUS (2-3 minutes) usually takes nearly 10 minutes to connect to the internet. I waited 20 minutes after resetting both routers but after 20 minutes if I look into the VPN settings, it says stopped.

    Does the VPN kill switch work with Merlin?

    I noticed when I reboot both routers, my ASUS connections again in 2 minutes while my NBN takes 5-10 minutes. When the NBN connection again, my VPN on the ASUS router won't auto-connect (kill switch) how do I get it to connect again without manually doing so?

    Does the VPN kill switch work with Merlin?

    Thank you. I turned the VPN off on the router where it caused the kill switch to kick in.

    Does the VPN kill switch work with Merlin?

    I signed up to ExpressVPN this week where their knowledge with Merlin is limited. Apart from this enquiry, their live support is fantastic with no waiting times. I found information about setting up a VPN with a kill switch here. https://www.vpnunlimitedapp.com/help/manuals/asuswrt-merlin When...

    Changed ISP, now devices are disconnecting?

    What channels is everyone on? Neighbour 1 = 2 Neighbour 2= 4 Router = 6-8 (Auto) Are the cameras on 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands? Are these on 'Auto' Control channels? Cameras are 2.4Ghz while my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S8 where I'm having the problem on 5 & 2.4 for my phone. It drops out. Channels...

    Changed ISP, now devices are disconnecting?

    It's mainly my security cameras disconnecting the most. I wasn't doing anything on my computer at the time when running these tests below (no CPU usage). Test 1: I notice the live feed isn't smooth anymore, it lags a bit when I view it on my computer. It never did this before, it was always...
