    Asuswrt Merlin, resolve client lan names on server-side?

    Just to clarify, the router is doing the DNS, no other server. Router #1: 192.168.0.1 server.lan dnsmasq.conf: server=/client.lan/192.168.3.1 (= send DNS queries for client.lan to 192.168.3.1 which is the router at the other end of the VPN tunnel) Router #2: 192.168.3.1 client.lan...

    Asuswrt Merlin, resolve client lan names on server-side?

    Seems dnsmasq considers 192.168.3.1 as upstream server, for which the rebind protection kicks in if enabled. man dnsmasq: If rebind protection is enabled and I don't use rebind-domain-ok=/client.lan/ the router logs possible DNS-rebind attack detected: host.client.lan and it won't resolve...

    Asuswrt Merlin, resolve client lan names on server-side?

    If DNS rebind protection is enabled (WAN>Enable DNS rebind protection) it needs to be disabled for this to work, or probably safer 'whitelist' the domain with the rebind-domain-ok option in /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add: interface=tun* server=/client.lan/192.168.3.1 rebind-domain-ok=/client.lan/

    YazDHCP YazDHCP - feature expansion of DHCP assignments (increasing limit on the number of DHCP reservations)

    I can confirm, YazDHCP works fine with my main AC86U and additional AC86U AiMesh node. Lots of my (ESP/Tasmota) devices connect to my AiMesh node instead the main router as they are physically closer to the AiMesh node. I didn't encounter any problems so far and it has been a while.

    Which two AiMesh systems?

    Are you using Tasmota firmware on your smart plugs? If so, Asus might not be a good choice and you may need to use static IP addresses on your Tasmota devices (that's what I am doing).

    YazDHCP YazDHCP - feature expansion of DHCP assignments (increasing limit on the number of DHCP reservations)

    I just tried to reproduce this, but everything seems to work. Same router AC86U, same firmware v386.7_2. I used to have 63 DHCP devices, now I entered a few more and rebooted the router. /jffs/addons/YazDHCP.d/.hostnames now has 68 hostnames. Wireless 5GHz still working.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    For me it was an .XML file (also using Firefox), but renaming to .CFG works just fine to re-import. -- // -- Another question, are we supposed to remove the USB drive before updating? I've never used USB flash drives on the AC86U before, but today installed Entware so the USB drive might stay...

    YazDHCP YazDHCP - feature expansion of DHCP assignments (increasing limit on the number of DHCP reservations)

    Thanks for creating YazDHCP, found it just at the right time when I hit the 64 devices limit . Just to make sure, it should work fine if I have a second AiMesh node behind my main router? I use a larger number of "smart sockets" flashed with Tasmota firmware, they do not all connect at the...

    [beta] Dual WAN helper script (discontinued)

    This is really sad to see, especially since this has been a known problem for years. The plan is to simply plugin a second gateway to one of the LAN ports and disable Asus Dual-WAN handling completely. I wrote a simple dual-gateway switching script years ago for my Ubuntu boxes. I'll see if I...

    Thank you, very helpful!

    [beta] Dual WAN helper script (discontinued)

    I know this thread is old, but does anybody still have a copy of the script available for my reference? I won't be able to use the script, but I'd like to see how it worked. After a few years with this setup I finally grew tired of Asus non-working Dual-WAN with my USB LTE sticks, now moving...

    Dual WAN - See per device bandwidth

    Have you found a way to analyze this? I am trying to see why I have 35MB/hour traffic on a 4G USB Stick that is configured as fail-over and not active.

    Dual-WAN traffic 35.3MB/hour but not active

    I am using a LTE USB Stick (Huawei E3372) in fail-over mode on my AC86U. It always worked like a charm for months. Past 2 days it started generating 35.3MB traffic per hour without actually being active or the primary WAN failing. In fact I disabled Dual-WAN yesterday evening and it still...

    brand new AC86u has a crashlog. what does any of this mean?

    Not sure if helpful: I started having this soon after installing my new AC86U and after testing AiProtection and disabling it again. It just seems related to having used AiProtection for a moment, but the error stayed when I disabled it again. I always thought one day I'd go ahead and do a...

    AC86U 384.14_2 - Tasmota Sonoff wifi connection.

    I am having the exact same issues for a while with my 20+ Tasmota devices and AC86U. Only today I had the glorious idea of checking here ;) When I updated some setting (unrelated to Wireless/Network) on all my devices earlier today, they failed to connect afterwards with the log looking quite...
