    Problems with UPnP Inside Docker Container (RT-AC88U)

    UPnP is a security risk if you "set it and forget it". I monitor mine constantly. Running OpenVPN on the default port isn't less secure than running any other port, but you are more likely to get garbage traffic. As for Docker, I actually really love it. It's much easier to maintain applications...

    Problems with UPnP Inside Docker Container (RT-AC88U)

    @RMerlin If you have any advice on this, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. :)

    Problems with UPnP Inside Docker Container (RT-AC88U)

    On my personal server running Linux, I run a self-written program that uses the `upnpc` command to open an additional UDP port to point to my OpenVPN server running on UDP 1194. For quite some time now, I have used this program directly on the server without any issues aside from dependencies...

    AC3100 Media Bridge Drops when Transferring to Samba Server at Relatively High Speeds (700-800Mbps)

    I have an AC3100 set up as a media bridge, and whenever I try to do transfers of large files from my NAS drive, it drops off too. It seems to happen only when I am doing Samba transfers at high speeds. All devices that are connected via the media bridge drop off, and the lights on the unit turn...

    RT-AC68U in Media Bridge Mode losing connection to main router

    RT-AC88U Reboots into Rescue Mode

    In case anyone else is experiencing the issue, I was able to resolve it by reflashing the latest Merlin after booting to the WebUI using the trick I described above.

    RT-AC88U Reboots into Rescue Mode

    After getting my router back from Asus's repair facility for the second time last night, I tried to install the latest Merlin version in place of the stock firmware that the replacement unit came with. I tried doing the upgrade via rescue mode, but I couldn't get the the CFE miniWeb server to...

    WAN port as LAN for Media Bridge

    I know this is an old thread, but for anyone who comes across this thread on Google as I did, the answer is no, it does not work. I tried doing this on my media bridge (using an RT-AC87R).

    Asus OpenVPN server security

    I think as long as you keep your certificates private, there is really no need to worry much about the password.

    5GHz will not turn on AC88U

    I unfortunately tried all of that. I unfortunately have also experienced this type of failure before. I already had to replace it once.

    5GHz will not turn on AC88U

    Yup! I tried all of that. I'm starting to hate my 88U. I already send it back once because I had the 5GHz dropping out randomly. I dealt with that for months before sending it back. It's been good for a few months now, but now back to this crap.

    5GHz will not turn on AC88U

    A few hours ago, my 5GHz radio on my AC88U disabled itself, and I cannot get it to re-enable. I tried toggling the "enable radio" option. When neither that or factory resets worked, I used the emergency reset technique to wipe nvram and install a fresh copy of the firmware on it, but it's still...
