    Wireless Log

    I have been using Merlin FW on all my (supported) routers for as long as I can remember. Today, I decided I would like to experiment with AiMesh and started by flashing the official FW (RT_AC68U_300438445717) on my AC68U AP before tackling my main AC86U router. When I consider some of the lost...

    Roaming assistant

    I have never got this feature to work. Basically, I have 2 access points (AC68U) and 1 router (Ac86U) with same ssid but each with different channels (1,6,11). The Roaming Assistant is enabled on all with a switch over value of -70db. Well, I have wifi devices as low as -86DB and none ever...

    Blocking Camera Access from WAN

    Maybe I am missing something here or I have got it all wrong but adding the following didnt seem to make any difference. From your post I modified : Firewall $ACTION FORWARD -s $CAMERA -i br0 -o $(nvram get wan0_ifname) -m state --state NEW -j DROP Firewall $ACTION FORWARD -s $CAMERA -i br0 -o...

    Blocking Camera Access from WAN

    I am running Merlin FW v384.11 on an Asus RT-AC86U with OpenVPN 1 enabled. Recently, I added 4 IP Wansview cameras and noticed when using their app I was able to access each camera remotely. The app does not provide any capability to restrict wan access and when talking to Wansview support they...

    Wired PC Killing my Arris 3270 Modem

    The (Bridged) Arris Modem has 4 WAN port. At my home we use 2 of them. One for regular internet, the other for my wife's work. Most of our equpment is wired and only our mobiles and tablets are using wireless connection. Problems started Saturday morning. Both networks were almost unuable due...

    Access Webserver on a 2nd Router

    Not only. If I add add port forwarding on the primary router to point to the secondary router, I can access this server. i.e. URL: WAN.eventghostserver.com:5000/?This.Is.A.Msg Enable Port Forwarding and set Primary router to route anything with port 5000 to 192.168.2.200 lan port 88 Voila...

    Access Webserver on a 2nd Router

    I am experimenting with a simple setup as shown below. PC2 is hosting an EventGhost web server. With the static route defined PC1 can access this server on PC2 without issue. My question is, can this same server be accessed from the WAN preferably without enabling port forwarding on the primary...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Things are looking up. Followed your steps and it appears all is well. :) For now I will keep my AC68U running as the "production" router and keep my new 86U in "Test" but so far I am encouraged. Thanks for the help BTW: Can I use the same USB drive for Traffic???

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Didnt use the backup config file (which I created after the 2nd reset and before I installed Diversion) until after the third reset. Not familiar with this method. Can you elaborate?

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Did a factory reset, re-installed FW, did another factory reset, setup my router (wireless, static ip, ssh,traffic, etc) then went to install Diversion. This time the install did not even complete. I went into a loop with numerous messages similar to "Waiting for cronjob...." After a few of...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I first tried Diversion on my "Test enviroment" and installed it succesfully on my RT-AC68U running Merlin FW 384.9. After a few hours of testing, all seemed well and decided to make the leap and installed it on my main router RT-AC86U with the same version of Merlin FW. Install went without...

    FIXED: New Router Installed, LAN broke

    Well, I fixed the problem the hard way. Fortunately, I had a Win 10 system restore point from a few days ago that I restored to this PC. Weird thing though, once it was restored and PC reboot a popup appeared indicating a new network was found. I have to assume there was a problem with the...

    FIXED: New Router Installed, LAN broke

    Today I swapped out my old RT-AC68U for a RT-AC86U. First thing I did was flash Merlin FW 384.9 for this router. After that, except for a few wireless devices that would not initially accept the manual IP assignment from the new router, everything went quite easy. Except for one thing that has...

    PC Access Across Multiple VLAN

    Can you clarify this please? I am confused on how this is a security issue. Specifically, where would potential risks/threat becoming from?? If its across vlans I am not overly concerned as I dont have lan clients on one vlan trying to hack the other vlan. :) If by security issues you mean from...

    PC Access Across Multiple VLAN

    I think my use of the term "Load-balancing" may be misleading. If one router fails anything attached to it fails. Devices don't flip from one router to another if the former becomes overworked. Long before any of the above I setup my AC68U (the DHCP Server) to manually assign static IP to each...
