I think the settings are written to NVRAM and they seem to survive everything. I had problems with DDNS, and was able to sort them through the terminal, nvram show | grep "ddns" showed me what was being retained by the router which I was then able to edit.

I use both USB ports, in 2.0 I have an Android phone in use as my WAN. In 3.0 I have a USB stick with Entware and Wireguard. I run Wireguard over USB Android phone WAN. I have ironed out a few instabilities over time, and now have a fairly stable set up where my whole network goes out over...

I don't think I have the skills to "change the interface used". The GUI does not offer me wg0, so I think I would have to set up Wireguard to operate as tun0, am not even sure if that would be possible. So I think it is must be correct to say that "there is an unexpected interface wg0" The...

Thanks for helping Jack, it seems that the problem is my wg0 Wireguard interface which I should have checked before asking for help. I set this up following the instructions here https://www.snbforums.com/threads/experimental-wireguard-for-rt-ac86u-gt-ac2900-rt-ax88u-rt-ax86u.46164/ When I...

sw_mode 1 wan0_proto dhcp Thanks.

Not sure how to do this, I can't find anywhere where I can enter "USB0". Also not sure if it is relevant, apologies for not mentioning if it is, I am running a Wireguard client on interface wg0.

Output is below, thank you. /tmp/mnt/RTR-USB# nvram show | grep usb0 size: 69969 bytes (61103 left) igmp_ifname=usb0 usb_modem_act_dev=usb0 usb_path2_act=usb0 wan0_gw_ifname=usb0 wan0_ifname=usb0 wan1_gw_ifname=usb0

Thanks for the suggestion, I have done this including removing configurations etc., but still no joy. I get the same messages. Maybe it just won't work on a USB WAN?

AC86U with merlin 384.19. My WAN is on USB Android phone. Dual WAN is off. SpdMerlin installs fine, but when I select WAN the web interface tells me "None configured". I get these errors on the CLI:- Choose an interface to speedtest: 1. All 2. WAN Choose an option: 2 What mode...

I live in a remote location where there is 4G but no other internet. I’ve got "Android Phone" working as my Primary (and only WAN) on AC86U and had it working well on AC68U before I upgraded. I've used it exclusively for about 6 months and it is pretty stable - much more than I expected. The...

Sorry for any confusion I caused by posting what turns out to be an outdated and non-working link. :(

This is not the problem as I use a (different brand of) Android phone with no other service on Ethernet WAN. On the ASUS web site there is a list of compatible Android phones, check this out for your model. Search for mobile tethering support...

Thanks a lot for this explanation. I had no idea the /etc file system was volatile! - a pretty fundamental piece of knowledge. This now makes much more sense. Now to read up more on the dnsmasq process.

The servers I set appear at the bottom of my dnsmasq.conf as you suggest. The command now works! Just to help me understand, what's the difference between the contents of etc/dnsmasq.conf and the values in nvram - don't they conflict at all? Now I've reset, the nvram is still showing the...

I'm on at AC86U, merlin 384.19. I have my WAN set to USB using an Android phone, Dual WAN is disabled. This works well and I have stable internet and can tunnel. But there is no ability in GUI to change DNS which is therefore controlled by my ISP. In order to set this, I have followed the...
