    VLAN on switch causing Remote Desktop problem?

    Oh oh. As in from my ISP I'm on the same (theirs, not mine) VLANs for both public IPs? What do I do about that if I understand this correctly?

    VLAN on switch causing Remote Desktop problem?

    I have two Asus-Merlin routers on two separate public static IPs through the same modem. (Note: I'm rural, and connected to the modem via a radio link which acts basically like a long ethernet cable from my location to the modem, which is in a nearby town.) Let's call the IPs 006 (N66U) and 007...

    I seem to stuck on 376.49_5

    Thanks Joegreat - have upgraded and notice that all setting still intact - assume I should STILL do a factory reset and manual config (it's not that much on this router so not a big deal).

    I seem to stuck on 376.49_5

    Thanks - same problem (AC68U / 374.43). Hope I can simply restore saved config settings.....

    AC68U regularly drops dhcp from ISP when inactive (sometime when active, too)

    Update: during the last few days I've reflashed the router a few times - went from stock Asus fw to Merlin to John's fork then back to Merlin's 374.43_2 with necessary nvram erasing and reflashing, restoring defaults etc. in between. The router now no longer drops the dhcp from my ISP (at...

    AC68U regularly drops dhcp from ISP when inactive (sometime when active, too)

    I get that - but then I think about networks where the dhcp request/response is made through many routers, switches and other cabling and where the connection is nowhere near "direct" - and yet they all work (barring bad wiring of course). So why not here? I do know I've had problems (at other...

    AC68U regularly drops dhcp from ISP when inactive (sometime when active, too)

    My RT-AC68U is currently sporting the stock ASUS 3.0.0.4.380_3264 firmware, but also previously used Merlin's 380.57 version. In both cases, the router regularly drops the dhcp address from my ISP (Shaw, in Canada) overnight, sometimes during the day (say after the lease expires, which is...

    AC68U won't pick up dhcp from ISP - MAC clone issue?

    Apologies for the delay in responding! I had copied the log etc to send to you, but managed to get hold of the folks where my modem is located and asked them to power-cycle it, pausing for a few minutes before restarting it. So far I can report that the news is good: the 68U picked up dhcp and...

    AC68U won't pick up dhcp from ISP - MAC clone issue?

    My AC68U occasionally - but not very often - picks up an address via dhcp from my ISP. For the last while, though, I cannot get an address no matter what I do. I have: erased nvram (mtd-erase2 nvram via ssh) done various of the 30-30-30 (WPS or reset button) methods reset from the mini-tool...

    Multiple ISPs, GS108TP - VLAN setup to allow dhcp

    That worked!! Thank you soooo much - I really appreciate it. I did manage to lock myself out the first time around as I forgot to manage my location with respect to the Management VLAN. Oops. Made it VLAN 60 and made sure I was on the right port when I did the second go-around. I can confirm...

    Multiple ISPs, GS108TP - VLAN setup to allow dhcp

    Thanks Cloud200 - All of the existing network is shown in the attached diagram in black, and all works as I want. The "radio management PC" is just used for taking care of the radios, but does have internet access for grabbing updates and similar tasks. Other than that I don't use it at all...

    Multiple ISPs, GS108TP - VLAN setup to allow dhcp

    I live in the great wilderness of Canada - my internet would be nonexistent except for my radio connections (Ubiquiti) which bring me signal from 25 km (15 mi) away. This introduces a few issues. I have one radio connection to my modem in town; I pull 2 static addresses to two routers without...

    RTN66U and 4G USB card in the US? And pay-as-you-go?

    Thanks @azazel1024, I can do the USB modem-on-laptop for sure, but then I would have "wife issues".:rolleyes: It's WAAAY easier to have her connect to one network, and for me to manage that, particularly as she randomly uses various devices, none of which she actually quite understands...

    RTN66U and 4G USB card in the US? And pay-as-you-go?

    I am planning to be travelling to the US for a few weeks from Canada and need to ensure decent connectivity, when Wifi may not be available. I have an RTN66U running Merlin right now that I can easily take from home with me. I'll be in various locations and wish to always be behind a router...
