    Convert AC88U to AP-only

    Hi there, I have an old Asus RT-AC88U that I would like to only behave like a wireless/ethernet AP with a router connected to it. How would I configured Merlin to disable all WAN related functionality?

    First time fiber networking question

    This I can deal with. I do intend to use the WHOLE 10Gbps throughput. Could potentially dremel a circular hole and add a 12v DC fan. It would be easy since I have a 12v DC PSU right next to it.

    First time fiber networking question

    The transceiver and fiber cable recommended by @follower seems to be spec'd similar to the ones I have mentioned. Also the transceiver I have mentioned someone from reddit said that's the one they use. I still intend to stick with what I've listed, it wouldn't be an issue right?

    First time fiber networking question

    Thank you this is really useful information. Now I can make a decision instead of just looking for words that match in the spec vs the product page. I found this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BZB6YX5/?tag=snbforums-20

    First time fiber networking question

    Hi there, I'm planning to pick up a MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN switch with FS SFP-10GSR-85 transceivers. This will be my first time delving into fiber and even though I read all the documentation and watched the videos I just want to confirm before pressing the button. I'm stuck figuring out...

    PBR for PPTP

    Sup peeps, Is it possible to get PBR for site based PPTP tunnel on Merlin? Specifically if I can direct ONLY traffic with "x" remote port over the PPTP tunnel instead of ALL internet traffic.

    Domain-based VPN Routing Script

    This is absolutely amazing and deals with an issue I've just figured out I had now. Just a quick question though: What of DNS's with rotating IPs? How are they handled?

    ExpressVPN AC88U v AC87U

    This is the information I was looking for thanks. Digging further though which router would you then recommend with ARMv8 CPUs or any other router that performs even better with VPN? Essentially changing the above question to "Which router is best for VPN preferably staying in the Asus range"

    ExpressVPN AC88U v AC87U

    Hi there, I've gotten ExpressVPN which seems to support firmware for up to RT-AC87U. I know it does not support the RT-AC88U which I have. Would it be worth getting a RT-AC87U for the performance difference over OpenVPN on the AC88U vs firmware provided by ExpressVPN on the AC87U? And will the...

    Random WAN drops

    Hi there, I'm using an Asus RT-AC88U currently on official 3.0.0.4.386_48260 but have been on the last 3 Merlin firmwares. I've been switching between official and Merlin to resolve an issue I've been having which seems to be random disconnects of the internet. The net would just drop but...

    DNScrypt DNSCrypt Error During Setup

    Hi there, I seem to be having an issue setting up DNSCrypt on my Asus RT-AC88U router with Merlin 386.7_2 installed. In the below spoiler I've added everything that I input on my side. I have WAN DNS configured on the webui and I have no DNS configured in DHCP/LAN settings. Is there maybe...

    AC88U internet drops when PC crashes

    That's actually a brilliant idea. I do have a spare router that can run in media bridge. I also have an Intel Gigabyte CT PCI-E card on hand that I can use to drill down to what's causing the issue. I'll also test with wireless AC card to see if it's still apparent. The strange thing is I check...

    AC88U internet drops when PC crashes

    https://www.super-flower.com.tw/product-data.php?productID=81&lang=en This is the PSU I use. It's very good. Regarding the undervolting question, I've reverted back to stock to monitor behaviour of this occurring. Regarding getting a UPS that can handle more than 400w, I've added an actual...

    AC88U internet drops when PC crashes

    The ONT and router are on their own UPS. The desktop is on a lithium battery. It isn't line interactive so when there's a power outage there's a shutdown and restart that happens. The thing is this doesn't just happen when there's power outages. This happens when my desktop crashes too. The...
