Hi Yes I had 'Advanced Settings/LAN/IPTV/LAN Port/Manual Setting' with a PID value of 911 as a requirement of the PPPoE. Changed to 'None'. Now working: hoorah! In the meantime I contacted toob, they advised the Linksys IPv6 was not necessary, so I disabled that again in the Asus. Thinking I...

Thanks for the feedback. I reset the router after each attempt as a matter of course. No joy with the MAC code. I also tried adding the Linksys router name in 'WAN - Internet Connection > Special Requirement from ISP > Host Name'. No joy with that either. I used the app (only a WiFi connection...

Hi I have an Asus RT-AX58U which was using PPPoE with Zen, my previous ISP. Today, I have changed to Toob and despite confirming before the change that I could still use my own router and WiFi system, when I contacted them for my username and password, they advised they only use DHCP! They also...

bbunge: win 11 is awful! I tried it last year and gave up as many things I normally use had been removed. Instead of fully updating Microsoft have left Win 11 as a mixed composite of XP, 7, 10 and now 11. It needs to be completely rewritten as one new package. I am currently looking at Linux as...

Hi I am using a Win 10 x64 PC through an Asus RT-AX58U router (Asus-Merlin firmware) to stream to devices on my home network using dlna. I use Serviio for video hardwired to my TV, MinimServer for music hardwired to my HiFi (controlled by WiFi on tablet ) and also stream SMB via WiFi to my...

Seeking Feedback & Contributions: Merlin Auto Update Solutions Would imply my feedback and contribution was in the correct thread!

Many thanks for the firmware. I have just installed it and found I can now connect a router VPN and the AiMesh is more stable and connects more readily to the other devices: well done! Donation made and well worth it! May I make a suggestion: I have just dipped my toe into the router VPN...

It appears the first time it took a while to establish the VPN during which time my local ISP was showing. Now when I toggle the enable it takes about a minute to establish the VPN and change to the expected address. It would be of some help if the GUI reflected an actual connected status as...

I originally used a TP-Link system that proved to be just even more ineffective and appeared to blatantly lie about the device capabilities after which, despite my consumer rights, they would not even consider a refund without my taking them to court to prove it! So I cut my losses and changed...

If OpenVPN will give me my router's ISP address how is my IP address changed by OpenVPN. I live in the UK, so how does setting up OpenVPN for USA still return my local ISP as my location? Isn't this exactly what a VPN is supposed to resolve?

Hi I am using a VPN on my PC. When accessing a website such as https://whatismyipaddress.com/ I get a different IP address and location to my standard ISP one, which is what I would expect. I have now installed OpenVPN on my router (as well as the separate PC VPN) and tunnelled just one android...

According to AsusWRT a full factory reset is not necessaary, which is one of the reasons I opted for it rather than have to spend days getting AiMesh working again! Equally it should not be required when changing back to the original firmware assuming this overwrites all the settings, which it...

Yes I did! When I first installed it, it was to see if I could get around VPN Fusion not working with CyberGhost OpenVPN. Sadly, all Asus would advise was the settings were incorrect. After installing Merlin I panicked as there were so many more settings! But, after calming down, I tried...

Hi In my ever increasing frustration with my RT-AX58U router Asus firmware and the appaling/non-existent level of support from them, I decided to dip my toe into the Asus-WRT water. Downloaded the latest version and updated the firmware. I now find that contrary to the claim, when I update with...

It appears I should not be configuring OpenVPN, instead I should be using VPN Fusion. So restored my previous backup and stared again. VPN Fusion appears to have software bugs! I either get 'connecting' or 'invalid connection' or it is disabled by itself depending upon whenver I try and enable...
