    WAN IP and hostname verification not respecting interval

    I gave a full reset a try to no avail, still checking every two days for some reason. The icing on the cake was needing 3 resets until it took properly. The first one left my 5 GHz band in a state where no device would stay connected. The second spat out some bizarre error message in the system...

    WAN IP and hostname verification not respecting interval

    I'm running an AX86U Pro and recently updated to 3004.388.6_2. The only addon I use is scMerlin 2.5.1. I had issues connecting devices to the 5 GHz band after the update, so I performed a full reset and initialize through the GUI which remedied the issue. It's been about 10 days and I just now...

    Printer does not work anymore ever sense using Asus RT-AX86U as main router and AT&T Gateway/Modem just as a modem on my fiber so weird. How to fix ?

    Keep in mind that setting group key rotation interval to "0" disables key rotation entirely and is technically less secure. In the unlikely scenario that someone attempts to crack your wifi encryption, having no key rotation makes it easier to accomplish.

    How do I know if VPN is working?

    I think the picture in RMerlin's documentation demonstrates how to accompish what you're after: VPN Director Specifically The rule with the "tunnel subnet" description, though you'll need to adjust the subnet and interface to match your server setup.

    Diversion How do I block Youtube shorts videos?

    Element picker in uBlock Origin will let you filter out Shorts. Best part is you can use in on mobile with Firefox, though I can only vouch for Android. I'm not sure if iOS allows extensions with Firefox. Alternatively, Revanced is a thing if you prefer using the Youtube app.

    Wake on WAN

    Just to tie up loose ends, I figured out what was ACTUALLY waking up my PC. I mistakenly assumed it was an ARP request, but it was in fact the WPA key rotation. The GTK offload feature seems to be bugged in windows as I found multiple reports of the same issue with different wireless adapters...

    Speed drop with VPN Server enabled on RT-AX82u

    Piggybacking on what ColinTaylor mentioned, HW acceleration may not be enabled. Tech9 made a list of features that will disable HW acceleration on the AX82U: I dont have Nat Acceleration (ASUS RT-AX82U) I don't think OpenVPN should be one of those either. You can check that HW acceleration is...

    RT-AX86U WiFi Calling Using Samsung Phone Intermittant

    A shot in the dark, but is MAC address randomization turned off on your Samsung devices? It will be on by default when connecting to a new WiFi network. I had constant disconnects with that setting turned on. I haven't had any issue with MAC randomization with other android devices; Samsung must...

    Wake on WAN

    I used to hide hibernate to avoid unnecessary writes to my SSD, but in the grand scheme of things I'm writing considerably more every day just using my PC. I'll give that a try this weekend and see what happens.

    Wake on WAN

    I can confirm that the static arp is working as expected (though I changed the interval to 20 minutes). Unfortunately, my PC wakes up on its own whenever the WPA handshake occurs (which is hourly). I find another post elsewhere that came to the same conclusion, specifically that the wireless...

    Wake on WAN

    If I can't get this to work as I intend, I'll give your method a shot as well. So far I can confirm that the script is working as intended, so I guess I'll see tonight if the PC turns back on.

    Wake on WAN

    I think this would fit here, rather than starting a new thread. I have WoWLAN enabled on my PC, using an Asus PCE-AX58BT (essentially a PCI-E carrier board that uses an Intel AX210). I'm running an AX86U Pro with Merlin firmware 3004.388.6. Long story short, I have WoWLAN working reliably, but...

    [AX86U Pro] WIFI not working well after updating from stock to Merlin

    In your phone's wifi settings, ensure that MAC address randomization is disabled.

    Guest network with intranet access v. using the main network

    That's where my confusion lies as I don't understand how a guest network with intranet access is any different than just connecting to the main network. I'm aware of YazFi, I mentioned that I don't use it due to the ramifications of using it with IPv6.

    Guest network with intranet access v. using the main network

    I've taken the time to enable two guest networks, one for actual guests and one for IoT devices. I have access intranet disabled on both, and have disabled client isolation on the IoT network with a script so that the IoT devices can see each other. That being said, I obviously have to connect...

    ddns watchdog restarting every 30 seconds

    I've noticed that I run into this update cycle if my WAN goes down as well. Once my WAN connection is stable again and I have a visible WAN address on the Network Map page, I get the same 30 second refresh loop. Hitting "apply" on the DDNS page forces a restart of the DDNS service and corrects...

    Question regarding OpenVPN Server configuration

    Being that I'm not seeing any DNS leaks, and things are routing as intended, you're probably right. I shouldn't have fixated on the redirect-private part. Thanks for taking the time to help!

    Question regarding OpenVPN Server configuration

    Disabling IPV6 gets rid of the redirect message. I guess I shouldn't be suprised given how funky everything seems to interact with IPV6. I attached the client log since it was too big to fit in a post I took a screenshot of the server's config as well:

    Question regarding OpenVPN Server configuration

    Something else that came to mind today, is there a way to access the configuration file for the server/router itself, say through SSH? I can at least confirm that there's no mention of either redirect in the client config file, so I'm assuming it's on the router side.

    Question regarding OpenVPN Server configuration

    I have an OpenVPN server configured and running on an AX86U Pro with firmware 3004.388.4, and I'm connecting to it using the OpenVPN for Android app. I have Advertise DNS to clients enabled, and when I connect the app log notes that both redirect-gateway and redirect-private are specified. I...
