    Thermostat network problem, RT-AX88U Pro on 3006.102.4

    I had the same issues with my Honeywell from around 2015-2016. Same connection issues and I tried all the recommended solutions, but nothing worked. In my case I took an old travel router connected it to my AX88 Pro as an AP and the travel router let me set the WPA encryption as AES-TKIP...

    OpenVPN keeps on turning itself off

    I have been running both type of clients on my AX86S previously and now on my AX88Pro with no problems. Can't remember if it also worked on my AC86. I don't remember when Merlin first added the ability of using WG clients to his firmware. I use Strong as my VPN provider so perhaps that is...

    OpenVPN keeps on turning itself off

    OK. Thanks for the clarification. When I get a chance I will try the development version even though I am not having any difficulties. spdmerlin currently works well testing WAN, OpenVPN1 and two WG clients. Even though neither of WG clients seem to ever need to be reset occasionally...

    OpenVPN keeps on turning itself off

    I have been using VPMON-R3 and it has been doing what it is designed to do and keeps my OpenVPN Client 1 up and functioning. When the client exceeds the 500ms time limit I set, I get an email that the client is down. Apparently VPMON does what it is supposed to do because when I eventually log...

    Need Help Setting Up 3 VLANs (Home, Guest, IoT) on ASUSWRT-Merlin (RT-AC86U)

    It is possible using the GUI to assign different subnets to VLAN1 & VLAN2 and then as bennor explains assign static IPs in these subnets to specific devices. I have done it and it works perfectly. What I don't believe is possible is to use a different subnet for any guest network beyond the...

    Same setup on my router and no issues for me either.

    Guest Network Limitation 3006.102.4?

    I am also running two guest networks with both Wi-Fi and Ethernet clients. Each guest network on its own subnet. Clients on main network as well as guest networks assigned to either WAN, OPENVPN1, WG1 or WG2 no issues. I have also setup and tested running a third guest network. While...

    Managed switch with https support?

    How often do you need to log into a switch's administrative pages to make changes or look at statistics? On my primary network switches, I probably don't log into them more than once a quarter. On some old Linksys 54G routers being used as switches to provide multiple Ethernet ports in media...

    Managed switch with https support?

    Assuming someone hacks into your WiFi network, determines the IP address of the target switch, and you have used the maximum 16 character mix of letters, numbers, special characters and the hacker has access to a powerful computer the site I used estimates that it could take 12 days to crack...

    Solved GT AX6000 - Home Assistant can't access IoT VLAN devices

    If you are running Merlin and apps then using RTMON you can find information about all the interfaces including VLANs.

    Asus RT-AX82U: Trying to find a way to isolate security cameras

    Using an inexpensive smart switch such as the TP-Link SG108E would allow you to set up port based VLANs. This will be much cheaper than purchasing a AX86Pro or AX88Pro which allow wired clients to connect to guest network VLANs. Depending on your skills it might be possible to write a script...

    Managed switch with https support?

    Any particular reason you want HTTPS access for a switch? Since switches are normally used behind a router any access to them is normally from the LAN by addressing the switch's IP on the LAN My SG108E will handle a password with up to 16 characters. I can't see that https access would...

    AX product Wi-Fi connection limits

    Yes, but when you make this choice then hit apply it reverts to AES only. To confirm that it is only AES you can use a Wi-Fi scanner app and it will show that SSID is in fact AES only. During the alpha and beta releases I reported this behavior to Merlin and suggested if not possible or...

    WPA status - WiFi Security and WiFi7

    In principle I agree nobody should be running AES-TKIP anymore as it is insecure. I just don't want to spend $140-$170 to replace a ten-year-old Wi-Fi enabled thermostat that other than the outdated Wi-Fi functions perfectly. Instead, I have the thermostat connecting to an old travel router...

    AX product Wi-Fi connection limits

    But it probably isn't both AES-TKIP. Some older devices want/require the TKIP piece which some current routers such as my AX88Pro running Merlin doesn't provide. The newer routers that seem to still provide AES-TKIP are ISP provided routers.
