    Skynet Skynet v8 - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I currently have no problems on my AX88Pro with defaults only, however previously when running my AX86 and a list of 26 banned countries my throughput was noticeably reduced. Removed the country bans and went with default lists and throughput issue eliminated. Is it possible that one of the...

    Best firmware for AC68U/TM-Ac1900

    They were designed to run on their own special branch of ASUS firmware. While they could be hacked to run on other firmware discussion of how to do so was banned on this site. These routers haven't had a software update for many years but running them as APs on your network is probably OK...

    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...

    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 v1.8.1 -Nov 16, 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 v1.8.1 -Nov 16, 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 v1.8.1 -Nov 16, 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.
