    Can I save config on RT-AC86U and load on RT-AX86U_PRO?

    Thanks! So the command line works like bash itself then... "$(command)" returns the command result. Added to my Linux notes about ASUS router Linux.

    Can I save config on RT-AC86U and load on RT-AX86U_PRO?

    Turns out there is a different way to do it: If I enable SSH login in the GUI then I can save the current DHCP settings simply by logging on and executing the following command: # nvram get dhcp_staticlist > dhcpsettings.txt Now the file dhcpsettings.txt contains the current data on the router...

    Can I save config on RT-AC86U and load on RT-AX86U_PRO?

    I did copy the text on the router's pages for DHCP and PortForward so I have that ready to be copied from... That should take care of the typo problem. :-)

    Can I save config on RT-AC86U and load on RT-AX86U_PRO?

    OK, thanks. I have already created the screenshots of the old router config pages so typing it back in should not be such a big deal. But I have a bad habit of typos and a MAC with one letter wrong will not work... I guess I should not go for reading back a config from the other router anyway...

    Can I save config on RT-AC86U and load on RT-AX86U_PRO?

    Well the main site was upgraded last week to 1000/1000 Mbps. And when I was looking for a new router for another project a month or so ago I noted that the AC86U I bought only a little over a year ago for the secondary site is no longer available... So I thought I should get a newer but similar...

    Can I save config on RT-AC86U and load on RT-AX86U_PRO?

    Oh-boy, did I ignite a fire by my question.... I am grateful for your comments, they are encouraging since I am pretty tired of trying to replicate a working setup onto a new router when I have so many places to stumble on... My current router has configurations customized for: - Network...

    Can I save config on RT-AC86U and load on RT-AX86U_PRO?

    Background: I have a network consisting of two locations with different subnets each served by an ASUS RT-AC86U router. The two LAN sections are connected together using an OpenVPN server running on the main LAN to which the secondary LAN router connects via the Internet. Both routers are...

    RT-AC51U OpenVpn client reconnect issue

    So I have checked with the OpenVPN community after finding this post on serverfault and it seems that using this entry in the client config file may be the culprit: persist-tun Unfortunately the ovpn file used for OpenVPN on this router has this entry... So that should be removed, but cannot be...

    RT-AC51U OpenVpn client reconnect issue

    I have set up an ASUS RT-AC51U router to automatically connect to my home VPN served by a Linux Ubuntu server on my home LAN. This gives the clients on that router access to my home LAN and the Internet via my fiber connection. But I have noted a very disturbing non-feature of this, which I did...

    RT-AC51U connected via OpenVPN - how to access its config page

    But it is not... The home router itself is an ASUS RT-AC86U but the OpenVPN server is an Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS *server* (as I have written above). This server is pointed to by route entries on the ASUS router for the remote networks I need to have connected LAN-to-LAN. This works just fine. I have...

    RT-AC51U connected via OpenVPN - how to access its config page

    Back again... I do not understand what you are hinting at regarding "you configure the Manage Client-Specific Options section to configure site-to-site".... And what does this mean: " Using Manage Client-Specific Options " ??? Is it some GUI "helper"? My OpenVPN server is running on an Ubuntu...

    RT-AC51U connected via OpenVPN - how to access its config page

    I have examined the two cases more carefully now and it turns out that they work a bit differently... 1) The existing (and working) LAN-LAN integration This is set up with the remote router's config connecting to my "local only" OpenVPN server instance. This is set up to only route server LAN...

    RT-AC51U connected via OpenVPN - how to access its config page

    I think I know what this is even though it looks kinda strange: 216.119.168.192 == 192.168.119.216 but listed backwards... An that is the local IP address on my home LAN for the Ubuntu 20.04.4 server running my OpenVPN server service. The home LAN router is set up to route packets to my...

    RT-AC51U connected via OpenVPN - how to access its config page

    As discussed in another thread here I have configured an ASUS RT-AC51U to connect back home to my OpenVPN server to allow streaming geo-blocked videos from the remote location where it is connected. I have provided my brother-in-law with this and he has started it up abroad and it works very...

    RT-AC86U - Dual WAN setup question...

    So I was out this week and the first day the ISP had warned about maintenance on the fiber would affect my connectivity. So I plugged in my USB 4G modem and waited for the outage. When it happened there was no failover, the LAN was disconnected even though the modem itself signalled its...
