This is the answer and its now working.

Hello I am struggling to setup a port forward to my IP security camera, so I can view it in TinyCam Pro app on my phone when out the house etc. I have a Torguard Open VPN client running on my router and everything is behind that VPN tunnel. I don't know how to do NAT where the external port...

Hi I did the factory reset with the WPS button and I was then able to access the router again on 192.168.1.1 I got in to its web GUI and then restored my settings backup file and also restored the jffs partition. I can now access the router on its regular 192.168.0.1 address and my laptop...

OK thanks, I will read up on how to reset it to defaults and try that in the morning. So the default IP we think will be 192.168.1.1 right? Or maybe 192.168.50.1 And I assume it will also reset the admin password to defaults whatever that is? admin and admin ? My daughter is going crazy...

It's a RT-AC86U looks like I did a typo in the thread title.

Actually I just checked my downloads folder the last Merlin firmware I installed on the router was on the 6/4/22 and was version 386.5_2 and that update all went fine and everything worked OK then. Looks like I also backed up the settings and the jffs at that same time as well as I can see I...

Hi I did take a backup of the settings a while ago, there is a backup file on my server some where. So if I do a factory reset on the router it will remain on the same version of the Merlin firmware but just wipe all the settings back to their defaults? I recently updated the Merlin...

DHCP server is still running on the router or my laptop wouldn't get an IP of 192.168.0.108 when the IPv4 adapter is set to use DHCP etc. Ipconfig /all says the gateway is 192.168.0.1 but why I can't ping or connect to the router I have no idea. Yet from the laptop on the wireless connection I...

Nope nothing found in the 192.168.50.x subnet either so it's not that.

I'll try putting the laptop in to the 192.168.50.x subnet and do another IP scan.

Hi Yes the leds are all white and the WAN when disconnected is red. I did change the routers IP myself to 192.168.0.1 previously. However I did use Angry IP scanner earlier tonight, on my laptop when that was using a secondary IP address in the 192.168.1.x subnet. And no devices other than...

Just tried the Asus Device Discovery application and that doesn't find the router either. Neither does the Asus router app on my Android phone. If I have to factory reset the router, will it go back to stock Asus firmware as apposed to Merlin ? Thanks.

Hi My router just stopped working properly. I can no longer ping it on 192.168.0.1 or access it's admin page, either via a hard wired PC or a wireless laptop. My laptop can still connect to the WiFi access point OK, but then has no Internet access. I can from the wireless laptop then ping...

Hi I cannot access my IP cameras and some other services hosted on my LAN, by using their WAN IP or Domain address, from within side the LAN. I have an Asus RT-AC86U router with Merlin Firmware version 384.14_2 If I use their local LAN IP addresses instead I can access them OK. Any way to...

OK many thanks that makes sense, I will try and correct the client devices in the LAN / DHCP Server page on the router, that are not quite correct. I have been pulling my hair out for days with a brand new wireless Canon InkJet printer. The Canon Android app was not finding or detecting the...
