    Can't upgrade to Merlin on new RT-AX3000U

    I tried factory reset and configuring as an Aimesh node through my RT-AX86U main router. The only way I could connect was through an ethernet cable from the main router switch to the AX3000U. I reckon it's the same as a AX58, isn't it? That's the firmware I downloaded 3 times. I've been...

    Powering a 19V 45 W Router from 12V batteries and solar array?

    How could I do it? Will one of those little digital variable voltage step up transformers do the trick? Is that all I need, or are there pitfalls with this? I can't find a non-variable one that meets that criteria, except for a 120V, and one of those came with the router, no help there. Or I...

    Was I being Hacked?

    I was doing a periodic check on my router, and saw there were 3 then 2 then 1 then 0 UNDEF users logged into my VPN server, and only one person, my accountant, is supposed to come in that door. I checked my log, and it was filled with these, with varying addresses: Sep 28 04:38:52...

    Strange and Stressful

    My PC would not connect to the internet, local network, or the router by Firefox, or by ssh through putty. Couldn't connect to anything. I restored my pc to a couple of days earlier prior, and same situation. I managed to connect to router on a laptop, and all four cores were pegged out at 100%...

    NextDNS: Thumbs up, Thumbs down?

    Anyone have any comments regarding NextDNS on your own or others experience primarily installed at the Router level? Does it present a lot of challenges with, or disable other scripts?

    NO Internet?

    Some of my clients have internet but most don't. I have a 1G up & down fiber line that checks OK. I rebooted my router, and it still hasn't synced with NTP time server. I lost all my scripts. Second reboot, same thing. Any suggestions?

    Firefox wants to send DNS requests to partner service. Yay or nay?

    I am leaning toward disabling it, especially since I am using DoT, and I don't know who these said partners are,

    Connected, with Critters

    I finally got my equipment connected to the fiber line, by getting a static IP. But now I've got Bugs. I searched and didn't find anything really satisfactory. I have guest network 1 disabled and I have follow suggestions from the past posts. About every 10 lines it repeats in the syslog...

    Blocked by Fiber Folk's Box

    I have been looking forward for over a year for the new fiber line with Gb/s up and down, but am sorely disappointed. They want to furnish a zyxel modem/router even though they told me more than once I could use my equipment but they couldn't troubleshoot from their office. However, they won't...

    I got something wrong, maybe in Yazfi or Diversion?

    I think I have have a parameter wrong or something. Yesterday I installed YazFi and updated Diversion close to the same time, so that is where I am guessing. I set up 3 guest networks, but have since disabled them but it didn't help any. I don't think I changed anything in Diversion. My log is...

    Am I Hacked?

    Recently my firefox browser acts like I'm on a different continent, and my search engine defaults to UK. I don't have any of the "normal" holes open, like no web access from the WAN, or port forwarding, etc. I did set up a vpn server about a week ago, but I've shut it down, and it keeps on...

    spdMerlin Is this normal?

    I think my ISP has some issues. I just upgraded to 1Gps cable and it's all over the place, from 450-900. Shouldn't it be about the 900 range? It used to be a lot smoother than that with 250 Mbps.

    Accessing home network through OpenVPN server?

    This has got to be the most rookie, noobiest, greenest question ever asked on this board, but how do I access my network through OpenVPN server? I've got the server set up and am able to connect to it, but how do I access my network and clients on the network? By browser, ssh, or ??? I set it...

    Large fluctuations in Download speed since 386.3_2: Coincedence?

    Since upgrading about a week ago to 386.3_2, I am experiencing large fluctuations in download speed and drops. My ISP doesn't know what it is and can't see anything on their end. I normally get 260+/- download and 10-11 upload. BTW, it was a dirty upgrade from 386.2, which was a clean job...

    ntpMerlin Too many pools for Chronyd to swim?

    My chronyd performance don't seem quite as good with AX routers than it was with AC, with respect to the offset and drift. Can one specify too many pools for chrony to pool from, bogging it down? Is it better to specify a couple of servers instead of pools? Other than that, it's been smooooth...

    AIMESH NETWORK LAYOUT

    Which one of the two sketches is the best layout? Will they even work? Is the second with two switches an illegal loop? thanks, jts

    Is there any way to remove/ ban/ or block a client? I've got an unknown on my network reporting as intel corporate. I've blocked internet access, but that's all I can find. thanks, jts

    2.5G Port for backhaul with Aimesh Node?

    I connected my two AX86U's with the 2.5G Port as per other references I've read, but I'm only getting 100M according to the network map. Did I read that wrong, or is there something missing? I can't find anything on it .

    Couple of Quick Questions for Aimesh Node setup

    How can I flash merlin firmware to a new RT-AX86U without going through setup? Or can I? And, it seems unnecessary to do factory reset with a new router if I can get it flashed first without setup. It should be as factory as it can get. Is my thinking wrong on this? Trying to get a node back...

    amtm Moving node to Primary: Start from scratch?

    I lost my month old primary RT-AX86U today to lightning I reckon. It goes from power and two ethernet lights, then all off, and starts over. I can't access it or the network. If moving my other AX86U to primary, do I need to reformat my USB (SSD) drive and start from scratch? Don't know of a...
