    Help RT AC5300 & Merlin V RT-AC5300_386.3_2, WAN DNS Settings not working.

    Yes my VPN provider is PIA. I have never configured the router for VPN. (I only have PIA configured on individual PC's) I find it weird that the ASUS firmware behaves properly and the Merlin doesn't.

    Help RT AC5300 & Merlin V RT-AC5300_386.3_2, WAN DNS Settings not working.

    I beg to differ as none of the other devices(PC's) on my network can communicate with 351ELEC. Some of them yes - but I do not see a common trait amongst them. I have reinstalled the ASUS firmware and everything is working as it should. "The connection has timed out" "The host does not exist"

    Ok, I got it working. I reflashed the ASUS firmware, then reflashed the Merlin. All is well.

    Help RT AC5300 & Merlin V RT-AC5300_386.3_2, WAN DNS Settings not working.

    Then what is the "Forward local domain queries to upstream DNS" setting for? It seems to me, you are given a choice here of letting the router or the regular DNS handle the local traffic. Yes. No I have not set any DNS server addresses in this area. DNSFilter is turned off

    Help RT AC5300 & Merlin V RT-AC5300_386.3_2, WAN DNS Settings not working.

    Hello: I have a RT-AC5300 router loaded with the latest Merlin firmware (RT-AC5300_386.3_2). The WAN DNS Settings are not responding to my configuration. I have the "Forward local domain queries to upstream DNS", "Enable DNS Rebind protection", and "Enable DNSSEC support" all set to "NO."...
