    Flashing firmware updates but stays at 384.5_beta1

    It is, yes. I recall that being a discussion, but it's been some time and I believed I was using the appropriate firmware and bypasses to have gotten this far. Is there any way forward - or back without having to TFTP or use a serial cable to get the device out of this current state? UPDATE -...

    Flashing firmware updates but stays at 384.5_beta1

    Ah, sorry about that. It is a AC-68U. I've used Merlin a long time on several of these, and many other routers. First time I've seen this. Unfortunately I'm down to just this one so I can't test on others to figure out if they'd act the same.

    Flashing firmware updates but stays at 384.5_beta1

    As the title says, some time ago I flashed 384.5_beta1. I'd been running other updates before with no issues, and this one has been running okay overall with a few minor hiccups. I've tried updating to newer betas though, back to official to then try a newer beta, etc, and no matter what I do...

    VPN termination, router mgmt, and HTPC in guest network - OK?

    Thank you very much. I like the idea of another private physical net, or at least keeping it off this one except for maybe scheduled synch jobs. Your comments, and my continued reflection on the matter are making me believe that, for me at least, the approach laid out is as good as any!

    VPN termination, router mgmt, and HTPC in guest network - OK?

    So a long time ago I was a network security guy, but I'm afraid some rust may have me thinking crazy. Admittedly, I've also realized that sometime in the tradeoff between highest security and easiest to deal with, I tend to slide a bit more towards the easy side than I used to. Anyway, I was...

    SSID to VLAN

    Hey is there any chance you can post your edited scripts? I am trying to do something very, very similar using a ER-X router and a couple of AC68u boxes (until my Unifis come in). I have the guest SSID tagging and passing the proper IP ranges thanks to edits I made to a script in this thread...

    Guest Network in Access Point Mode

    Thank you very much!

    Guest Network in Access Point Mode

    This is great. I want to do something very similar on my 2 AC68Us. A few questions if you have a moment: If I don't care about isolating the wireless clients from each other, just keep them from my intranet on the unit in AP mode, I just remove that wl line and use the rest? How do I specify...

    Vlans on Merlin (mini howto)

    Hi @mystical, did you ever get this working and post it? I'm trying to figure this all out and it would really help. Thanks!

    Merlin AP Mode, WiFi on Guest Network w/ Tagged VLAN not working

    Hi @Soulcage- did you ever figure this out? I'd really like to use what you have here, or what you have working, as the basis of my script as I transition from Tomato to Merlin with a similar config as you.

    Toggling access on/off for devices

    Thanks much. After thinking through this more, I think network services is going to be the easier approach. A bit of a sledgehammer compared to what I had with Tomato, but it will work. Thanks again!

    Toggling access on/off for devices

    Thank you for the welcome! I have looked at them on stock, not Merlin but I presume that area is identical. I guess in that case I'd just set time restrictions and not click any time block to allow and then enable it to effectively block them? I think that would work, though as best I can...

    Aimesh

    Got it. Thanks for your reply! I'll keep my fingers crossed. That capability, and what you already have would be amazing. Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk

    Toggling access on/off for devices

    Can anyone help me with this? I have been on a fork of tomato for the last few years and I can create rules and enable them to block access the internet for my kids when it is dinner time, bedtime, etc. I can't seem to find the best way to do this with Merlin. Snot time-based per se and I like...

    Aimesh

    I've been playing with the beta Aimesh firmware from Asus and it's working well on my ac68u router and extender. Once this becomes stable is there any chance we'll see it in Merlin? Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk
