Just installed 12.4 over 11.0 on my AC86U. I can't login successfully using Firefox (browser of choice). MS Edge works but I don't want to use that. I'm reverting to 11.0

Followup question do I leave NAT enabled on the AC86U or not?

Followup question do I leave NAT enabled on the AC86U or not? Dumb question - how do I know if I need that? I do use BitTorrent on Windows and Transmission on Linux if that's relevant ...

Setting Automatic IP and using the WAN port did the job - thank you I've been tearing my hair out!

Let me start over. I'm trying to connect my AC86U to the Zen provided Fritz!Box (FB for short in the rest of this post) The FB has to be the primary router for Zen's telephony support to work (they've locked out the access to the telephony settings). In the initial case I tried to leave the...

I'm changing ISP, and in order to get the digital phone service they provide, I believe that I need to use their router (Fritz!Box 7530) as the main access point to the WAN (internet). However I still want to connect all my network devices to the RT-AC86U that's running AsusWRT-Merlin which is...

Thanks for the hint on Apple private MAC addresses, the Mac addresses were being used by my iPhone. Bets that the 10:AE:60:67:8D:3F is my wife's iPhone Thanks folks - now I know what they are I am happy David

2A:84:C1:D6:E5:E4 10:AE:60:67:8D:3F B6:BC:D4:62:B6:A9 Have all been assigned IPs by the router but I've no idea what they are! I've tried the usual MAC lookup sites and the only one I could find anything about was the second on which is "private". Can anyone id these for me. Thanks

OK, I selected the "Security Level" button on the front screen and that appears to have fixed it. Thank you.

Subject says all ...

How can I enable either WPA2-AES or WPA3? I'm runnin Merlin 386.4 The only options I can see are Thanks David

How can I display the policy based routing that the OpenVPN client is actually using (as distinct from what is displayed in the GUI). I assume there's a command line interface to display this sort of stuff? My default setting was to route everything to the VPN, and have exceptions. When I added...

OK so who knows how MSRA works in enough detail to let this happen? I surely don't Dave

Other way round I think. As far as I undertand it, MSRA opens a listening port on 3389 to allow the remote assistant (expert) to connect to his/her PC.
