    ASUS Dual WAN Failover, Then Failback, Leaves Secondary LAN in "Hot Standby"

    Unfortunately, at least for the RT-AX86U Pro router, Merlin is still on a 3.0.0.4 base, and as far as I can tell, ASUS only fixed the WAN failover issues in 3.0.0.6.

    ASUS Dual WAN Failover, Then Failback, Leaves Secondary LAN in "Hot Standby"

    Totally agree. Also, the WAN Failover script is 6792 lines of code, which is just totally scary for me. I am using 3.0.0.6 stock firmware on both AX and BE routers and the WAN failover basically works okay. It has been 100 % reliable to failover. It's a bit of a lottery about failing back...

    Dropouts on ASUS RT-AX86U

    Hello, I have observed something similar with the RT-AX86U Pro. I'm running the Stock ASUS Firmware (3.0.0.6.102_34336 -- latest version as of 3 March 2025) and I'm getting a steady increase in dropped packets on br0 (my LAN bridge). About 3 dropped packets per second. This is what...

    Starting OpenVPN with TAP Client seems to crash RT-AX86U

    Hi Jeffrey, I wouldn't hold your breath about ASUS fixing this. I have spent countless hours on the phone with their top tier support folks (and also collecting logs for them) and they show no sign of understanding the problem and no inclination to make any effort to do so. Super...

    Standalone VPN server throughput much lower going through RT-AX86U Pro than through old RT-AC68U

    I have an EXTERNAL UBUNTU 24.02 VPN SERVER that is running Wireguard (along with Linux GRETAP) to create a Layer 2 bridge between two homes on both sides of the Atlantic ocean. The setup is almost identical in each house except on the USA side I have an RT-AC86U and on the Europe side I have an...

    Command Line Questions for Stock ASUS Firmware - RT AX86U Pro and DDNS

    Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. I figured out why "service restart_ddns" wasn't doing what I expected after my script detected a new Public IP. I can see in the syslog that restart_ddns was returning Oct 8 10:06:42 rc_service: service 30986:notify_rc restart_ddns Oct 8 10:06:42 ddns: IP...

    Command Line Questions for Stock ASUS Firmware - RT AX86U Pro and DDNS

    Hello, I have an ASUS RT AX86U Pro running the latest stock firmware -- 3.0.0.6.102_34314. I would like to avoid running Merlin if possible. My router is behind another ISP fiber router so I have a double NAT issue (I tried PPPOE but I lose my IP address periodically and never get a new...

    ASUS Dual WAN Failover, Then Failback, Leaves Secondary LAN in "Hot Standby"

    Hello @Kingp1n, Can you tell me what exactly isn’t working with the ASUS version of Failover. I’m finding it working perfectly except for this one issue where after Failback I have the Seconday WAN in “Hot Standby” instead of “Cold Standby”. Is this something the script you linked to fixes...

    ASUS Dual WAN Failover, Then Failback, Leaves Secondary LAN in "Hot Standby"

    PART 2 NOW I PLUG FIBER CABLE BACK INTO ASKEY ROUTER After Failback, Primary WAN connected and Secondary WAN in “Hot Standby”. BAD! Primary WAN (ppp0) is UP and has a public IP address again: ppp0 Link encapoint-to-Point Protocol inet addr:88.1.192.55 P-t-P:192.168.144.1...

    ASUS Dual WAN Failover, Then Failback, Leaves Secondary LAN in "Hot Standby"

    Hello all, I have an RT-AC68U with 386.12.4 firmware. I am successfully running a Dual WAN with the Secondary WAN set up for Failover + Failback. (I'm actually kind of surprised it works so reliably, given the many references I'v seen in this forum to a user-script to take the place of the...

    WANFailover Dual WAN Failover ***v2 Release***

    Hello @Ranger802004 , Thank you for your very hard work. You have obviously put a huge amount of time into this project. I am wondering if you can tell me whether your WAN failover solution will solve my specific problem? I have an ASUS RT-AC68U with the latest Merlin FW. My primary WAN is a...

    Blank page when logging in

    It's 4+ years later and something similar just happened to me -- only I was trying to reach a router over the Internet 6000 miles away. I got the login screen but after that no page would load. Looking at the macOS safari console screen, I could see that the element that was hanging on the...

    Which DDNS services support ipv6 address updates?

    Oh, and just to be clear, if I set the IPV6 address in the DDNS record, I did not have to override the server address in the iPhone OpenVPN client. If I did NOT set the IPV6 address in the DDNS record, I had to enter the router's IPV6 address in the "Server Override" field in the VPN client.

    Which DDNS services support ipv6 address updates?

    Hello @Logi . I honestly don't know exactly how this is working. You might want to try to install the Asuswrt-Merlin firmware if the stock firmware doesn't have the needed IPV6 setting. In my case, I simply enabled passthrough and rebooted my router and then I could see that the router got...

    Which DDNS services support ipv6 address updates?

    Hi @glens. I too assumed the IPV6 address would remain constant but I called Xfinity tech support to ask and they said "it will change from time to time". It's possible the guy had no idea what he was talking about. As I only just enabled IPV6 yesterday, I haven't seen any changes yet...
