    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 Beta is now available

    Dirty flash on BE88u here. Working well. Im still having an issue with port forwarding working in the gui. I have to manually add firewall rules to forward ports. I use the sfp+ port for my WAN connection and my suspicion is that this is an issue on Asus end. Otherwise happy. Thanks @RMerlin !

    ASUS Router App Unable to Detect AsusMerlin

    Im glad this worked for you. I have had a similar experience. Its nice to be able to use the asus router app for simple things as its intended for use on a phone with a small screen vs the full web ui. In my case. My BE88U can be accessed from my Android Asus App from within my lan. It was...

    BE88U Static Route

    This PON is more like a fancy swtich. It has no firewall. https://pon.wiki/xgs-pon/ont/bfw-solutions/was-110/ ifconfig $(nvram get wan0_ifname):0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 This from your post above also allowed me to ping 192.168.11.1 and access the PON Web UI. Just like @Erah ...

    BE88U Static Route

    @Erah can you test a theory with me? I'm also on a BE88u and had the issue with the GUI static route setting not allowing me to access the PON. I also realized that my port forwarding cant be configured through the Asus GUI. I wonder if these two issues are related. Could you try to forward a...

    BE88U Firewall port forwarding set in GUI not working. Anyone else?

    Hello everyone. Longtime Asus Merlin Asus router user. I recently upgraded to an Asus BE88u and ran into an issue that ive never seen before so thought to see if i might be the only one. Configuration BE88u Runnig Merlin 3006.102.3. SFP+ Port Wan I have been testing plex remote server and had...

    Tutorial Debian 12 Bookworm + Plex Media Server (Asus RT-AX86S)

    My only advice is to go through the tutorial and make sure that you've followed the instructions. I have two physical drives attached to a usb 3.0 hub running off of an AX-88u and now a BE-88u and am able to see both drives from within chrooted Debian (and also accessible from my plex server)

    Tutorial Debian 12 Bookworm + Plex Media Server (Asus RT-AX86S)

    Is anyone using this setup with Plex Remote Access? It works very well within my local LAN. My router's local address is 192.168.2.1 and I've forwarded 32400 to this address. I have disabled Plex relay and have a Plex Pass. I dont fully understand the network topology of how this is configured...

    ASUS firmware DHCP "Continuous Mode" potential fix for "ISP's DHCP did not function properly"

    Haha. I also use ddns but im fairly sure my wan IP has been the same for 5+ years. I think this is why these DHCP wan dropout issues sting so much. A static ip would likely fix my issue but not for $30 a month. ..But then i feel like i already have one... My DHCP wan issues always happen at...

    ASUS firmware DHCP "Continuous Mode" potential fix for "ISP's DHCP did not function properly"

    Its interesting you mention this as it seems that at the beginning of Jan ATT pushed a firmware update that enabled some cellular backup feature. This would likely involve changes to their wan stack. (I'm guessing here) I began to see these problems at the beginning of Jan. How about you? What...

    ASUS firmware DHCP "Continuous Mode" potential fix for "ISP's DHCP did not function properly"

    Bumping this thread. Just started having issues with my AX88u on AT&T Fiber with their gateway in passthrough mode. Has been stable for years and now since the beginning of Jan, I can only go 2-3 days max without my the 'DHCP error' message and WAN dropping out. Rebooting the AX88u is my only...

    Tutorial Debian 12 Bookworm + Plex Media Server (Asus RT-AX86S)

    Hey there. Thanks for your tutorial. I am blown away at how well it works and how much I love plex. EDIT: Found my issue. Has nothing to do with plex or this tutorial

    Tutorial Debian 12 Bookworm + Plex Media Server (Asus RT-AX86S)

    Hello friends of the internet. Though I realize that there are some hardware shortcomings of ARM processors to run Plex (especially if its your gateway), I am curious to try this for myself on my trusty AX88U. Anyone out there still using this as a solution? I am going to attempt this in the...

    Suddenly not able to access 2 routers in two different locations remotely

    Thanks for the reply. What's strange is that when I ping my asuscomm.com ddns address, it resolves to what seems to have been my dynamic IP address from att fiber for some time. I feel like it's something else router side that won't let me connect to the Asus router UI. It just won't connect.

    Suddenly not able to access 2 routers in two different locations remotely

    Hi All. For some reason, i am unable to access 2 routers (68u 386.11and ax88u 388.2_2) running the latest Merlin build. I discovered the issue when opening my ASUS router app on my android to check on something (like i obsessively do) App wouldn't connect to either of these routers. Both units...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.11 is now available for AC models

    Same here on an AC68U. Tried a few times. Not using USB on it. Not using VPN either. Its happy on 386.10 with two 68u mesh nodes also running 386.10 so ill probably just stay there.
