    scMerlin scMerlin 2.5.31 - Service and script control menu for Asuswrt-Merlin

    Yup, that's what I meant with "no error, what you see only shows because I have verbose enabled". If verbose is off in the console, there is nothing at all (on the sitemap tab).

    Clicking scMerlin tab: Clicking Sitemap tab (no error, what you see only shows because I have verbose enabled);

    scMerlin scMerlin 2.5.31 - Service and script control menu for Asuswrt-Merlin

    I noticed on my BE86U that the sitemap doesn't show (it's working on AX86U). Not that I need it, but I just wanted to post this. Not sure how to "debug". scMerlin 2.5.8

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

    I noticed some strange behavior recently (couple of months), but I am not entirely sure if it's YazDHCP related. I have 88 DHCP reservations using YazDHCP at the moment if that matters (half of that I should probably clean up one of these days). When I change device names and change icons, it...

    Scheduling local clients (stop kids from using local Plex at night)

    That's a good idea, thanks. I wish YazFi or another add-on would allow scheduling. Not sure if I am ready to move "back" to Asus firmware for this reason only.

    Scheduling local clients (stop kids from using local Plex at night)

    I've been using Parental Controls > Time Scheduling to disable the internet for our FireTV stick and the TV itself for a while. But once the internet stops, the kids can still move to our local Plex server and keep watching from there. Any idea if there is an easy fix to this? I have no...

    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.
  11. AlexHK

    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...
