    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    I updated my AC 3100 a few days ago with the current release. Next time I turned on my TV it will go only display one channel. Is there any possibility that a setting in the .13 release is the problem. Is there something in the router I need to set allowing the Amazon/TV connection, but I don't...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    AppleBag - I am still trying to understand. But one thing I got from skipping through this and other threads is that there is no current version to save the files in the router. And odd things can occur if you try the old version on a current version. The people helping on the thread are...

    Downloading Merlin updates

    I finally figured out what was happening. I finally started at the top and looked at every file/folder on the computer. I did not see dave's note before I wrote this. I was getting downloads, but in a temp directory I have never looked at. The contents are huge. I will need to clean the folder...

    Downloading Merlin updates

    I tried this question once and achieved only ridicule. I will try again. I just do not know how to deal with this. I am unable to make a download work. I am clearly not understanding something. I used to get firmware downloads without a problem. I have tried and tried to download the current...

    Can not figure out how to downlaod new versions

    Sorry. Please feel free to use "wow; stupid". Why is he allowed to have a computer; let alone a computer. I have used the Merlin firmware for years (and contributed). But for months (and I think a change in hosting site), I just can not figure out how to download a new firmware package. I have...

    Selecting a DNS server service

    Let me rephrase. I did not do well with terminology. - Speed is of lesser importance. - I want the best free protection at the DNS provider. - I have looked at many, but unable to pick due to a lack of significant understanding of the various services supplied by a free DNS supplier. - The...

    Selecting a DNS server service

    I have spent a bunch of hours researching. I just can't seem to make a decision. There are a bunch of free DNS services with various objectives for users. Pretty much all of the sources I have read avoid actually doing a comparison resolving what service is optimal. I would really appreciate...

    Any source for detailed explanations of all the selections in Merlin's product

    I am not anywhere near an expert. I have an AC3100 with current Merlin. I have managed to turn off WiFi. I don't know how. My problem is screwing things up because I don't understand the functions of various entries and there interrelationship. Not a particularly unusual problem I suspect. A...

    Widespread Asus Router issues?

    I have the same logins problem. The router will not let you logon using just the IP address. You can log on with one of the available strings after the IP. Then later it will only recognize another of the possible strings. Something changes.

    Can't access router - current Merlin (it was a bit ago)

    It was not the name/psw. It seems to change what text it wants after the IP when trying to log on.

    Wireless phones exposes my system to the WAN?

    From my reading here, I have concluded this. If you use a WiFi connected phone with the router, than a function will automatically be turned on. It will then expose my system to anyone on the web. Assuming I have understood this correctly, can someone please explain what to look for to see if...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    Regarding problem logging on to the router. I have an AC3100; same problem. I have tried multiple permutations of the IP address and logon. After reading the post above, I tried it with the :8443. Firefox blocked the access because it was self signed. It popped up a message. You can add an...

    Dealing with Asus Merlin

    Just a bit more information on the Discovery app that I should have included. It sees the router at the correct IP address. But if you select configure - nothing. Plain old vanilla computer. It has a WiFi capability; but it is turned off. And when the router would talk to me, it was not seeing...

    Dealing with Asus Merlin

    I have tried the Discovery utility. It just tells me what I know. I know the IP address, admin name, and password. And for several days it worked fine. Logged in, worked, logged out. Then suddenly, it did not work anymore. I cannot log on to the router. I have tried various permutations of what...

    Dealing with Asus Merlin

    I have replaced an earlier Asus router (AC66). It would not talk to me. I put in an AC-3100. I wanted better processing and improved WiFi to handle phones in the house. Access was fine, but suddenly I could no longer sign on to the router. I have tried multiple alternatives, with no joy. There...

    Can't talk to AC-3100

    I have installed an AC-3100 router. Things went well initially. I set up things I thought I could understand. I set up things and all my devices and network things seemed to work. But I have been unable to access the router since the original installation. I set up a user name and password. I...

    Widespread Asus Router issues?

    I am installing an RT AC-3100 with 384.3. It worked. I set a bunch of stuff (guessing at many things). I have internet access. Then I rebooted. Now it will not let log onto the router as administrator. I put in a new admin name and PSW when I was setting it up. It worked OK until the reboot. Now...

    Can't access router - current Merlin (it was a bit ago)

    I have used static IP addresses for the devices on my local network. I prefer static. The current Win 10 seems to have a real problem with the idea of anything other than DHCP. That has caused me a bunch of grief. I have been running on an older Asus router. For a long time I have not been able...
