    Unbound low cache hit rate

    Alright, with multiple unbound config files it's important to add this line into the correct one: /opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.conf

    Tutorial How to get Samba 4.18.8 running on an RT-AX86U Pro running Merlin 3006.102.4_0

    Ok, installed samba4-server, created scripts, then chmod. Did this instead of reboot: /opt/etc/init.d/S90smb start The old Samba drives are working as before. I get this output, does this mean Entware Samba is working? admin@RT-AC86U-9988:/# smbd -V Version 4.18.8

    Tutorial How to get Samba 4.18.8 running on an RT-AX86U Pro running Merlin 3006.102.4_0

    So I get samba from Entware, save these scripts, and that's all? Or are there any more steps on top of the 2 scripts? This thread was discussing a few things, but what's the clear guide now?

    Unbound low cache hit rate

    Pure stock from 7 open unbound Manager 3.25 P.S. I guess if PiHole caching is doing its job, Unbound should see very little repeats?

    Unbound low cache hit rate

    I am getting a really tiny hit rate under 10% with PiHole->Unbound, both are running on the router. Does this seem reasonable? admin@RT-AC86U-9988:/# unbound -V Version 1.23.0

    AC68u fast blinking power light from time to time (nvram issue)

    An update. This original router did about 20 months trouble free after I tried to burn through the bad flash, then the forgetfulness started again. This time the old fix did not work. It reports stuck WPS button when those situations occur. I took it apart, nothing obviously wrong with the...

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    This worked for me too, port 80 for my PiHole virtual IP.

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Another project is to create PiHole's out of the old AC68u routers sitting around!

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Is PiHole version still the same? Or updated as well?

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Complexity is relative I guess. My changes are localized to pihole.toml , and creating a virtual IP is needed anyway for PiHole webserver to be accessible. At least I don't have to touch dnsmasq.conf myself and can go with the stock Unbound manager script.

    Is it a good idea to put 2 Routers side by side?

    I have AC86U and an ATT fiber AX router next to each other, probably 15 cm apart. Have been running like that with non-overlapping channels for 2 years now, no issues that I can speak of.

    @heslo - you probably would already be running if you used my guide for the additional PiHole on its own virtual IP instead of trying to replace the main DNS on 127.0.0.1:53 :)

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    The guides are not really different. The key steps are the same. @jacklul 's instructions are more conceptual, so gaps need to be filled by a trained practitioner :)

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    With a clean pihole.toml just follow my Wiki: https://github.com/jacklul/entware-pi-hole/wiki/Install-on-Asuswrt%E2%80%90Merlin-(by-bibikalka1) Try not to skip any steps ... Keep the stock DNS working, so you can always have internet.

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Yep, no problem! There should be a bit of traffic from that and a few additional users eventually. Good catch on the Teleporter details, I've updated the Reddit post with specifics!
