    YazFi YazFi v4.x - continued

    Been running 4.4.3 for a while, and noticed that the hostnames and IP addresses aren't showing up in the table for connected clients using YazFi...

    YazFi YazFi guests showing in main network map

    None have reserved or static addresses in the non-guest block, but they show up both in Yazfi with the guest IP and a static entry in the main block. They should only have guest addresses, and looking on the devices (TP Link IOT smart plugs) themselves, they are connected to the guest SSID and...

    YazFi YazFi guests showing in main network map

    AX-88U here with latest merlin and YazFi. I'm noticing that clients connected to the guest network, and showing up in YazFi's list of connected clients (with addresses in the guest subnet), also appear in the main network map list, with static IPs on the main subnet. Is this due to iptables NAT...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Why didn't it appear previously then? The devices haven't changed, and regardless of whether they were on the main wifi or guest, I would have seen those requests. This is just the router's address going to Google, the other devices are nowhere near as chatty.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Apologies. I enabled DNSFilter a couple days after update. The spurious DNS requests showed up at that point.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    It didn't start until I enabled DNSFilter.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    No. I am using DNSFilter to force my guest wifi to the PiHole though, if that matters. That's where I have a bunch of IOT devices (none are Google though)

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Ever since updating to this release, my Pihole is logging attempts by my router to get to google.com every few seconds. I've checked Network Monitoring and both DNS query and ping are unchecked. Is there some other setting somewhere that would cause this? (I did not reboot the router after...

    Load balancing router recommendation?

    i'm not looking at this for the added throughput - just so that i'm not wasting money on the Xfinity connection. I'm paying for it (long story) so i might as well use it. I suppose i could just put the Xfinity modem upstairs and run a separate network up there...

    Load balancing router recommendation?

    which Cisco routers can do this, which are appropriate for home use (don't need some enterprise level beast)?

    Load balancing router recommendation?

    Xfinity is 200/5 (blech), FiOS is 200/200. Load balancing would be ideal. I may try using the 'routing rules' in Asus to have specific devices use a specific WAN, but I'm not sure how well that will work.

    Load balancing router recommendation?

    For reasons not important here, I have both Xfinity and FiOS connetions active at my house. (The FiOS will be the only permanent one, Xfinity goes away in 10 months). I have an ASUS AX88U but found that it's load balancing is less than reliable with it's dual WAN functionality. Obviously, I...

    Dual WAN or WAN Aggregation?

    I have an AX88U, and due to some COVID related delays during a move, had to have Comcast installed as my ISP. I'm 2 months into a 1yr deal with them. My "normal" ISP is Verizon FiOS, and they are finally doing their install today. Once FiOS is in, I'll have 2 WAN connections available to...

    RT-AC66U non-B1 AI-Mesh?

    Thanks. Out of curiousity, is this due to some hardware limitation, or just that Asus never ported the functionality over? (I'm an engineer by trade - Georgia Tech grad - and huge fan of legacy PRR steamers :) )

    RT-AC66U non-B1 AI-Mesh?

    I have an AX-88U as my primary router, with an AC-66U lying around. Is there any way, using either Merlin or some other 3rd party firmware (or command line) to get the 66U to work as an AI-Mesh router? It's not the B1 model, the original 66U. Thanks in advance.
