    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    hi Marco, i apprecite your sharing this thought. yet, i need to defend myself partially here. i did see the 5 min to hour, but when i wrote originally, i was at least 80 minutes in, and i think by the time i found the GUI had freed itself, it was well past 90 minutes. i was very perplexed that...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    thanks for the tips. i am finally in the UI and speediest now works on my iPhone so it must have been database management going on. i will let it sit a little longer but then reboot as you suggested. i think i will hold off in shifting over from AP mode to AI Mesh 2.0. i've done enough...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    thanks Datalink. should i ultimately reboot the router at some point? i guess the good news is i do have internet access. it has definitely been longer than an hour, but i guess i will be patient. i am glad you were able to share with me that this is expected/normal. any thoughts on why...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    i'm sorry if i am missing reading all 23 pages here but in my skimming i didn't quite see the scenario or situation i am having. prior to today, i was running a AC1900P as a router and a AC68U as an access point, both running 384.19. today, i decided i would update to 386.2.2. here were my...

    ASUSWRT 386 new guest network IP space and DHCP static IPs

    thanks. i may ultimately do this when Merlin gets updated to 386. but i'm hoping someone out there can confirm what the setting options are for the guest network on a standard AP mode for the 68u. i know AIMesh2.0 is supposed to be a big improvement over 1.0, but i've had great success in terms...

    ASUSWRT 386 new guest network IP space and DHCP static IPs

    i am reading this thread with great interest as i just happened up it and the problems you guys are seeing might actually be a benefit for my usage. i'm currently still on 384.19 Merlin for a router (1900P) and access point (68u). with that older firmware, the guest network on the AP cannot be...

    Disabling Intranet access for guest network in AP mode

    good catch although it may be easier for me to just use eibgrab's script. ;) interestingly enough, it seems that the latest 386 (non-merlin alpha) software from Asus supposedly creates a subnet for guest networks on AIMesh nodes and presumably access points. i'm still reading other comments in...

    Disabling Intranet access for guest network in AP mode

    ah, yes. i agree that a static WAN ip address ideal for the IoT router. thanks for your idea/thoughts. it seems pretty straightforward to me (even with my limited know how). i'll try to give it a shot sometime soon.

    Disabling Intranet access for guest network in AP mode

    i'm running AsusMerlin so this is extremely helpful. some more dumb questions to make sure i get this correct: 1. i am assuming i should let the main router assign an IP address to the IoT router... this address (eg, 192.168.1.XXX) would become the WAN address for the IoT router...which i...

    Disabling Intranet access for guest network in AP mode

    thanks for this thought. as i turns out, i have an extra RT-AC68U i could use for this purpose (much fancier than i need, but i have one). can you outline the steps i would use to create this separate network. i am assuming i would set it up as a router behind the router and use a different...

    Best way to handle 4 simultaneous Zoom sessions

    our family is definitely weary of distance learning and work. (i don't miss my commute but i am far less productive working from home) good luck with Zoom. it sounds like you should have a good handle on things if you upload bandwidth stays in that range.

    Disabling Intranet access for guest network in AP mode

    thanks again for your speediness, Colin. ;) #4 is probably the easy solution although one motivation i had for keeping the guest network on the AP was to cut down on the number of devices being served by the wifi radios on the main router (in a perfect world, i wouldn't be running the wifi...

    Disabling Intranet access for guest network in AP mode

    sorry if this is a dumb question, but my limited understanding is leading me here for some clarification and advice: i have an 1900P router and AC68U AP running in my home. i have a guest network on the AP which i use exclusively to connect Internet of Things (IoT) devices. what i noticed...

    1900P vs AC-68u: wifi range / antennas

    i didn't try to detach the antennas on the 1900P, but i believe they are detachable (my friend didn't give the original box...just the unit with antennas attached and . since the 1900P is perched on a high shelf and cable management is such that i would need to take everything apart to get to...

    RT-AC68U: AP mode: 5ghz radio loses connection with router...only fix is reboot... can't get Customer service to send replacement...

    so, updates (mostly good). since last wednesday (going on 6 days), i have the AP stable running a fixed channel 36, and fixed bandwidth 80 Mhz. ASUS tech support (via Customer service...seems like an inefficient way to communicate) finally responded saying i am not running the latest firmware...
