    Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8 is now available

    I’m updating from 384.6. Any need for a reset there? Thx.

    Bummer. Thanks!

    Merlin and hostnames

    All this applies to my main router - not the access point... I used the Merlin feature to assign host names to my statically assigned IP addresses. However I’m not sure whether it’s doing what it’s supposed to. While I see them on the static dns page, the client list does not show them -...

    Sonos and USB share on Merlin a NO GO

    I was trying to set traffic monitoring on the router, not the access point. Anyhow this appears to be a problem only on my iPhone safari and chrome browsers (not opera mini though). Kinda weird.

    Sonos and USB share on Merlin a NO GO

    Ok I’m still having all sorts of UI problems even on the main router. Still on the same “other settings” page no radio buttons work. I can’t turn on per IP monitoring. Also the location drop down doesn’t work but maybe because I can’t turn on the radio button. Kind of a bummer because these are...

    Sonos and USB share on Merlin a NO GO

    So I did the factory reset on my access point too. But some options are still not responding. Such as stealth mode or anything in that section. Any ideas? I’m on an AC1900p. Are those options not supported?

    You da man. Factory reset fixed it. Of course a totally coincidental ISP issue intervened which slapped me with a huge red herring for an hour. But I’m up and running now. Thank you for the advice.

    But I do think it was set to both.

    Yeah. That dropdown was also disabled. Screencapping my settings now.

    I did not. Was hoping to avoid that. But if I’m having unexpected results I guess I need to. :-(

    Features: TOR support

    Oh. I just realized. After leaving the VPN client turned off on the router for an hour or so, I went back into my torrent client and noticed it had continued to download. Oops. I’ll have to be mindful of that.

    Sonos and USB share on Merlin a NO GO

    I have a USB stick plugged into my AC1900P which contains all my music in a folder. I had been serving this up successfully on the stock ASUS firmware. But now that I’ve installed Merlin, my Sonos can’t find it. I don’t know if I should be using media server or Samba. But Samba has worked well...

    Features: TOR support

    Thank you for your speedy reply. So speedy that I didn’t get a chance to revoke my question ;-). After a little more research I decided to setup a client VPN using freevpn.me. I really like how I can route only my media tank through the tunnel and can block if the tunnel drops. I presume that’s...

    Features: TOR support

    If this is still the case, does this. Mean bit torrent traffic won't work? I think it uses some UDP

    Why AIMesh? What am I missing?

    Can’t seem to get it to work. Do I plug the new router into my network? I couldn’t get it to find my new router. But the WPS method worked. Many thanks.
