    Guest Network VS Wireless General

    Well, for me anyway I see it as a level of protection - let me explain. My 20 year old and 18 year old sons frequently have firends at the house, and of course they all want to use the wireless to get on the internet without incuring phone charges. I want to provide that, but do NOT: 1)...

    AC68 with N66 AP - Interessting Situation

    Yes, I should have mentioned, the n66 was previously using _39-EM. I was under the impression (as you said) that the EM was now just included at the _40 level, so thought it may not be a major change in that regard. I like using the same SSID and password as that allows my clients to roam...

    AC68 with N66 AP - Interessting Situation

    Well, I'd like to say it was a well planned, scientific experiment with the intent of validating this suspicion, but in reality I just stumbled on it as a screw up! :)

    AC68 with N66 AP - Interessting Situation

    You guys will like this strange situation, or maybe I am off base. I use the same SSID and passwords for both my router and AP, so my clients roam between them - this has worked very well for me. On both devices I had been using _39, again, all has worked well. With the advent of _40 though, I...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 374.39 is out

    Same Here! Same here - same version, and mine is rock solid - I use as an AP and AC68 as my router - in many cases my roaming devices even choose the N66 over my AC68 when considerably closer to the 68! I'm sure there are all sorts of possible reasons, but I've watched the N66 through a...

    Simplest Question Ever

    Router Type My apologies, the router is Ac68, and I am now using _39 as well.

    Simplest Question Ever

    Thanks I'll give it a try, thanks! Does that block traffic both ways on all ports? Thanks again.

    Simplest Question Ever

    I have a NAS (Mybook Live) that is configured as a media server that I store media files on, and use ONLY in my local network - no WAN use at all. I have reason to believe, sadly, that there has been traffic to that drive through the WAN (using monitoring by IP). How can I block all traffic in...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 374.39 is out

    Dns priority Sorry if already asked, too many posts to look through. So if on the wan page I set manually the dns, but then on the new parental control page set a different dns as default for all users, who wins? Thanks!

    N66u in AP mode DNS question

    Reply In the ap mode, the ap is much like a client in that while you can specify a different dns, if you do not specify it will use the main routers.

    Guest Access

    Hello, I have set up a guest ssid, password, etc and set access intranet to disable. That said, when I am on it, I can still get to the router, devices, etc. Am I misunderstanding "intranet"? Thanks. Correction: I just discovered I was actually connected to my AP. so my base router the Ac68...

    Saving Configurations - Simplified Version

    I get that with many firmware updates, it is necessary to NOT bring back a formerly saved configuration, due to not only the "obvious" settings being saved in the configuration, but the NVRAM as well. But when this product is as dynamic as it is, and changing FW is so frequent (at least for me...

    Access Point with Merlin Firmware Questions

    Thanks! Thanks ScottW! I agree on the IP assignment, I've gone back and had the AP get an IP from the 68 - and set a static IP of 192.268.1.2 Strange about the error messages, but as you said, I don't seem to see any problems. Thanks again!

    Access Point with Merlin Firmware Questions

    Hello everyone, I recently added an access point to my small network. My main router is an AC68 running Merlin 38_2 and my new access point is an N66 also running Merlin 38_2. I have set the ap with common ssid and passwords as the main router for both the 2.4 and 5g, although each band has...

    Network Storage Question

    Thanks Sinshiva Thanks much - actually the question was not about Nas's - I know about those - I was curious how quickly this router can access a USB 3 connected HD compared to dedicated network storage. I appreciate your feedback - If the AC68 access and ability to access across a network on...
