I used to use Toastman's Tomato firmware builds for my ASUS RT-N16, but since I got my ASUS RT-AC66U, I've been using Asuswrt-Merlin. I've been very pleased with the performance, but I miss some features that Tomato offers. I wish there was a "Web Usage" feature in Asuswrt-Merlin like Tomato...

Got it. Thanks! I was confused by the interface, but now I see that if you select PPTP or OpenVPN from the VPN Server tab, that lets you turn on/off each VPN type. Thanks!

Hello, I'm using Asuswrt Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.39 on my Asus RT-AC66U. The VPN settings apparently changed recently. Even though I turn off the VPN server (VPN->VPN Server, Enable VPN Server: Off), it still shows that it is running on the VPN Status page: "PPTP VPN Server - Running" How do I...

I use OpenDNS (free offering for home users), and I currently filter for web content based on different categories. However, I've found that their reporting tends to be sporadic and not very robust. Tell me more about how you are using the "DNS filtering" in Asuswrt-Merlin firmware.

One thing I really miss from Tomato that I wish were available in Asuswrt-Merlin is the ability to show recently visited web sites and web searches (Under Status->Web Usage). It was a quick way to keep an eye on what the kids were searching for and the sites they were visiting. Does such an...

I was able to update the firmware by simply unplugging all other devices. Not sure why that would make a difference. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll give those steps a try.

I'm currently running Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.34_2. I just tried to update to 3.0.0.4_374.38_2 twice; however, whenever it finishes, and I reboot it, it still shows version 3.0.0.4.374.34_2. I've never had a problem upgrading until now. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

My router stopped working after we had an electrical storm recently. I replaced it, and tried to restore my settings, but this is clearly not working. What's the point of saving your configuration/settings? Cross-device configuration backup/restore always worked with Tomato USB. Doesn't seem to...

I can confirm that I am on the correct page (Advanced Settings->Administration->Restore/Save/Upload Setting). I tried on Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, and got the same error on all three when trying to restore my settings file. This is a replacement ASUS RT-AC66U which ASUS sent after my first...

Hello, I just re-flashed my Asus RT-AC66U with v. 3.0.0.4.374.34_2 of Asuswrt-Merlin. I reset the settings to the factory settings. When I attempted to restore my settings which I have saved in a Settings_RT-AC66U.CFG file, it shows an error message that says, "File format or path is...

I'm using Chrome on OS X, so I don't think it's IE. :-)

Yes, I am seeing this, even after quitting the browser, and even clearing the cache.

What's disturbing is that whenever I logout of the web admin page to my AC-RT66U, I get the message that says "You have logged out successfully," however, if I just visit the URL of my router's admin page (or click the back button), it lets me right in without challenging me again for the...
