    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker v4.2.x (see new thread for 4.3.x)

    I have been using diversion for years and it blocked millions of ads. Many pages had holes in them where ads used to be. However, I have noticed lately even when using 4.3.1 those holes are filled with ads again. I have type 65 blocking enabled. If I look at the source of those ads on Microsoft...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker v4.2.x (see new thread for 4.3.x)

    Yes, it was a bad USB device. After I replaced it, my menus worked properly instead of taking 4-5 minutes. Thanks thelonelycoder.

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker v4.2.x (see new thread for 4.3.x)

    I have a small question about the latest diversion 4.2.1. It seems like the menu takes 4-5 minutes to appear on my rt-ac68u with the new 386.4 from Asuswrt-Merlin using putty. I don't remember it taking this long before. Has something changed in diversion to cause this? It also takes a lot of...

    IPV6 getting lost after a few days

    I am sorry. I have been switching back and forth between 386.1 and 386.1_2 and those are pictures of 386.1 on my router. But, there is no difference in the screens between the two versions. I think the difference is the fact that your "WAN - Internet Connection" is not the same as I am using...

    IPV6 getting lost after a few days

    IPV6 used to run fine on 384. It has locked up again in 386.1_2 since I first wrote. Here are the IPV6 settings pictures you wanted: The one thing that is not standard is that I use Spectrum and their IPV6 is through Charter. Charter does not provide DNS on IPV6 so I have to fill in with Google...

    IPV6 getting lost after a few days

    Twice now since running 386.1 and 386.1_2 I have completely lost IPV6 connections. It seems to happen every few days. I know that is IPV6 because I run the tests at ipv6-test.com. Tests work properly just after restarting the router and for a while thereafter. However, after a longer while...

    I am having a problem with disney+ and CBS All Access if I put DNS servers in the IPV6 settings

    I will try just using Google servers to see if OpenDNS is the problem.

    I am having a problem with disney+ and CBS All Access if I put DNS servers in the IPV6 settings

    I am using 386.1 for my router. I used to be able to stream Disney+ to my Hisense TV (AndroidTV 5) with no problems. However, I could never get CBS All Access to stream. Then, since I upgraded to 386.1 Disney+ would no longer stream properly. I played around with many settings (especially my...

    Trying to add real hostnames to smart TVs

    Sounds like a little complicated, but with a script file to load the custom_clientlist upon reboot it should be a way to do it. I am going to check out some possibilities with DHCP before I try this method.

    Trying to add real hostnames to smart TVs

    Yes, I am using the Merlin router as the DNS server. Sorry, I tried your method and it did not change the name in "Client Names" on the merlin "View List" of clients which doesn't always get updated using this method, although nslookup shows the new name so the rest of the clients seem to see...

    Trying to add real hostnames to smart TVs

    I tried your GUI hostname editor and that only seems to do it for the hostname of the router. Also, all changes to the hosts file (except for the router hostname) seem to get lost when you do a reboot.

    Trying to add real hostnames to smart TVs

    I tried that method and did not get a name for the devices.

    Trying to add real hostnames to smart TVs

    I would like to give hostnames to devices like smart TVs and other devices that don't have a great interface for doing normal system tasks. The names right now are xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx. I can put names in the hosts file from the 'merlin/diversion /etc/host's but that file is reloaded at every...

    Diversion Diversion getting corrupted/hacked

    I have replaced the USB device (actually it was an SD card in a USB carrier). So now I haven't seen any problems yet but I will keep checking. Thanks everyone!

    Diversion Diversion getting corrupted/hacked

    I have been using diversion since I loaded Asuswrt-merlin. Lately (at least twice in the past week) the diversion files have gotten corrupt. I can tell by running an update. The first time diversion only showed corrupted, it was yellow when running the update. I completed a forced update and...
