    Running a TP-Link TL-SG105E Switch off USB Power?

    Are you sure the power supply is 6V? I have the same series switch except it has 8 ports and it requires 9V. Also the same voltage requirement for an 8 port unmanaged TP-Link switch. My switches are 7-8 years old so it is quite possible the power requirements have changed. If the...

    using end of life wi-fi access points behind router

    Newer routers can run better WiFi security such as WPA3. WPA/WPA2 is a potential issue only if you think that your neighbor or someone else within radio range is going to hack into your network. With a secure paraphrase this isn't something that is likely to happen so use the strongest...

    IoT Guest network issue (anyway script to create guest network?)

    Some very old IoT devices seem to only able to connect or maintain connections if in addition to WPA you enable TKIP-AES encryption which unfortunately doesn't seem to be supported anymore on ASUS routers running Merlin but I'm not sure about stock firmware. While you can select TKIP the...

    White blank Device Icons

    I did mean DHCP server page. My point was to confirm you could get rid of white squares.

    White blank Device Icons

    I had one device on one of my VLAN subnets that showed up as white square. On VPN server page selected item and then changed ICON to one from standard options selection and clicked apply. Seems to be holding in my case.

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.8.0 -Oct 30, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

    OK My misunderstanding I thought it was data for total period of connection not in my case a sixty second period between refresh intervals.

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.8.0 -Oct 30, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

    I have been running it for a day and here are some of the things I have noticed. 1. When you start VPMON in AMTM for the first cycle the total data used for WAN & VPN shows as UNKN. On the first refresh cycle it shows the total RX/TX data for WAN and each VPN tunnel. (WG in my setup) 2...

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.8.0 -Oct 30, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

    I put it on just a couple of hours ago and it seems to be measuring the totals correctly. I will give you in update after it has been on for a day or so.

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.8.0 -Oct 30, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

    Thanks for the changes/improvements. Traveling so will have to wait until next week to implement.

    YazDHCP YazDHCP v1.2.3 [2025-Nov-07] - Feature expansion of DHCP assignments (increasing limit on the number of DHCP reservations)

    In my case your solution was the simplest and worked. I simply added the two devices that are in the 53 VLAN to the CVS file and then imported back onto the router and they now show up on the DHCP server list with the correct color. Problem solved. Thanks for the suggestion.

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.8.0 -Oct 30, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

    I agree the most important and most useful feature of this app is to keep VP tunnels up and confirm they are running. I don't use a kill switch as while security is important having an Internet connection is more important for devices such as my thermostat and security cameras which I like to...

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.8.0 -Oct 30, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

    The time connected reset function works and accomplishes what I suggested. Thank you. Before going final you might want to consider modifying the throughput calculation. While it works it doesn't provide any useful information to me in its present form. To minimize restarts I have been...

    Not possible to set static IPs in VLAN (network with different subnet)?

    I will have to some more testing. Removing YazDHCP, rebooting router and then reinstalling YazDHCP didn't magically make the 53s appear. Good suggestions on your part so I will give them a try. I installed it again and still no 53s. Also when I fun NVRAM get both dhcpress1_r1 and...
