    Which DNS encryption script do I use?

    As another option I happen to prefer, try none, no scripts at all. Instead just use Merlin's webui to enable DoT. If you'd like to take a look, you can check out my own settings here.

    new to dns over tls

    This gets into the whole DoT/DoH debate. On the one hand, @RMerlin prefers DoT and dislikes DoH. See, e.g., Disabling Firefox's automatic switch to DoH https://twitter.com/RMerlinDev/status/1170550850722381825 On the other hand, Firefox is adopting DoH, Chrome is experimenting with it...

    new to dns over tls

    Thanks. I'm disabling IPv6 for now but am filing away your tip for future reference if and when I enable IPv6.

    new to dns over tls

    Having recently reviewed as much of the seemingly endless discussions as I could find, I ended up with the following configuration, which I'm sharing in case it might be of assistance to OP or anyone else. I make no warranties that my choices are the best choices and welcome suggestions. In...

    Ars: Internet routers running Tomato are under attack by notorious crime gang

    I was curious so I went back to check your posts. I believe that the thread where you discuss using an open guest network to blow up an Asus WL-330NUL travel router dongle is here. Beyond your posts, the entire thread, including @RMerlin's comments, is worth a quick read.

    Hi, thanks & a quick off-topic tip about multi-function devices (MFDs)

    Long-time lurker, new member so hi. I wanted to thanks folks on this forum for the wealth of info you offer. While I'm not a total noob (I've administered a home network with a Cisco enterprise router, two network switches and a NAS and not totally screwed it up), I'm not a professional and I'm...

    The rmerlin donation thread.

    Downloaded Merlin a week ago. It's working great on a RT-AX88U. Just donated. Thanks!

    2 clients are connecting to RT-AC87U through this device

    My guess is the same as @tristfall's. I'm running Merlin 384.14 on a RT-AX88U. I manually changed the IP pool address range. At the time DHCP had assigned two mobile devices outside of the new range. After I changed the IP range the network map gave the "2 clients are connecting to the RT-AX88U...

    5GHz Dead with Merlin 384.9 on RT-AX88U

    I'm reviving this nearly year old thread since I just experienced the same issue of dead 5 GHz immediately after I installed Merlin (version 384.14) for the first time on a new RT-AX88U. Per L&LD's helpful advice, I changed the control channel for the 5 GHz network from auto to 48 (which I...

    RT-ac86u - printer doesn’t connect in wifi

    Long-time lurker, first post on SNB. Thanks to all for your helpful tips. If you haven't already done so, try splitting the wifi network between the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, give the two networks different SSIDs and assign the HP printer to the 2.4 network (with 11 as the control channel). That...
