I run an email server at home. I manage AI crawlers at the DNS/registrar level—Cloudflare offers that feature for free.

I have a GT-AX11000 PRO running firmware version 3006.102.6 and have a couple of questions regarding the WAN settings. Regarding the attached screenshot: Is my ISP able to track my online requests? The confusing part is the DNS server setting. I selected "Get the DNS IP from your ISP...

If your UPS has a 12V DC output, you can power the router directly. It's better to avoid using the AC adapter, as the AC/DC conversion wastes energy.

I don't remember the release number; it happened three or four years ago.

I had the exact same issue with my AX86U on a 1-gigabit cable internet connection. A technician came and replaced the cable, but it didn’t solve the problem. The issue was in the firmware. After upgrading to a new version of the firmware, the issue went away.

I am considering setting up the "Alert Preference" within AiProtection. However, since the setup requires my Gmail and password, I have some concerns about sharing my password, especially since I don't fully understand how the alert system operates behind the scenes. e.g. what sending email...

Same question. I noticed that my Apple devices (iPhone, iPad) could change their MAC address randomly. My VPN setup is based on the MAC. Once the device changes its MAC, it will not go through the VPN.

I am running MailPlus server on the daily basis. However, I noticed that there is an issue with an email auto-forwarding. Here is my test: If I receive an email from Gmail on [email protected], I can set up an auto-forward to [email protected]. It works as expected. However, If I set up...

I am using Synology DS220. And yes, port 80 needs to be opened when I renew the certificate (Control Panel->Security->Certificate). Once it is done, I just close the port.

I thought that AIMesh would be smart enough to connect to the strongest signal source automatically. If not, then there is no difference to use the second router as an independent router with the same SSID.

Both AX86U and AC3100 are using 386.5_2. I added the node from the AX86U AiMesh menu, "Add AiMesh Node". I suppose that the AiMesh node could extend the primary wifi signal seamlessly. That is the reason I am starting using AiMesh. The primary router is located on the second floor and the node...

To improve the wifi coverage, I added my second router AC3100 as an aiMesh node. My primary router is AX86U. Both routers are ethernet cable connected. I assume that the wifi signal (2.4G & 5G) on my primary router should be extended by the node (AC3100). However, even if I am close to AC3100...

After upgrading from 9.0.0.4.386.41994, the FTP performance dropped to 11MB/s from 70MB/s. Rolled back to 41994, the speed backed to 70MB/s. Anything wrong with new added fixes? Thanks

As Wycleff said, there is no need to apologize. Since I am using older version of router, I am curious that if the CakeQoS or some other components were built into the firmware, which specific for the router. However, those components do not compatible with the router but are running at the...

Thanks for the reply. Even though I am using Merlin for years, never dig into for details. My QoS always remains off. Even if I switch it on, I don't see "cake" option as seen on your screenshot. And I can't find AutoBW configuration or Script configuration in the menu. Am I did something...
