For the first time ever, I am unable to update. Simply nothing happens when I click the Manual firmware update: Upload link. Usually there's a popup where I can select the file. Have tried soft and hard reboots multiple times. I'm on AC86U with 386.7 and trying to go to 386.7_2. I've had...

Thanks for your detailed response. Managing VLANs through GUI would be valuable for me. What drew me to Merlin was the VPN routing, and the ability to have multiple Open VPN clients and pick and choose which devices go through which tunnel. Can FT do that? Changing firmware seems like a...

This worked, thanks!

Hi, I would also like devices on my guest network to be able to see and access one another but not devices on my other wireless network or LAN. Has any native solution been found in the past 7 months since question was first asked? Thank you!

Thanks for this! I like those access rules that you described - sounds like just what I'm looking for. I will give it a try over the weekend.

Thanks for your reply here. Maybe this is a term of art I do not understand, but what throws me off is that, "# Allow new incoming connections from br100" sounds to me like, "allow br100 to initiate connections with other things, such as br0". However, I sense that isn't correct? Not sure I...

Follow-up. I tried removing these individually and it broke. Either the isolated LAN lost internet connectivity or non-tunneled devices on the main LAN lost internet connectivity. Anyone know why that would be? I'm trying to decipher what all these do and the consequences of keeping them...

Excellent point. And correct because I did the firewall script as you posted, unmodified, and now it works! Thank you!! The device doesn't show up in the Client List of the Network Map tab in the WebUI. Not a big deal, and maybe that's expected, but I find it interesting. I guess the only...

Thanks, I crossed posts with you here. Didn't see this until I already posted my reply. I'm not sure that I want all of the same traffic rules as him with the remote access and some interactions allowed between the bridges that he describes. I suppose I could try this verbatim as proof of...

Thanks. I think I know what happened there, but I recreated the script as you suggested above. Only modification was to remove the eth2 stuff as OP is isolating two LAN ports and me only one. Final code was: cat << "EOF" > /jffs/scripts/services-start #!/bin/sh # Physical port to interface...

Thanks for this. It ran without error: XXXXXXXXXXX@RT-AC86U-3610:/tmp/home/root# CONFIGS_DIR='/jffs/configs' XXXXXXXXXXX@RT-AC86U-3610:/tmp/home/root# CONFIG="$CONFIGS_DIR/dnsmasq.conf.add" XXXXXXXXXXX@RT-AC86U-3610:/tmp/home/root# XXXXXXXXXXX@RT-AC86U-3610:/tmp/home/root# mkdir -p $CONFIGS_DIR...

@eibgrad Thanks, I was wondering about the consequences of the lack of DHCP support. I have static IPs setup for many devices on my main LAN but couldn't figure out how to do it for the new bridge LAN. When I go to the DHCP Server tab in the WebUI to manually add an IP I am stuck in two ways...

Thanks for your reply. I used this sh -x /jffs/scripts/firewall-start and it in fact threw an error. There was a mismatch with the type of quote used. In these forums, the double quote appears straight - so there is no difference between a starting and ending quote - whereas my text editor...

There's definitely an issue with the firewall script. I've checked the router log and I don't even see evidence that it has run. The log does have evidence that services-start ran. Also including the couple lines after it in case that means something? Nowhere in the log does "firewall-start"...

Thanks for your suggestion. I am aware about the different WAN and port naming conventions across router models, but they should be the same for a given model right? I have the same router, AC86U as the OP, which is why I decided to try his approach - no guess work adapting other scripts on...
