    How to reject wifi device by device name

    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.

    Synology MailPlus email auto-forwarding

    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 myinbox1@mydomain.com, I can set up an auto-forward to myinbox2@mydomain.com. It works as expected. However, If I set up...

    Builtin Lets encrypt, does it mean 80 is open? Or how does it work?

    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.

    Adding Aimesh node seems doesn't help to extend the primary router wifi signal

    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.

    Adding Aimesh node seems doesn't help to extend the primary router wifi signal

    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...

    Adding Aimesh node seems doesn't help to extend the primary router wifi signal

    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...

    Speed dropping 100M a day. Reboot works.

    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...

    Speed dropping 100M a day. Reboot works.

    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...

    Speed dropping 100M a day. Reboot works.

    I have a ASUS AC3100 router with 386.2_2 installed. The cable internet is 500M/20M. The speed test from the router is 440M/20M. Recently I noticed that the speed dropped almost 100M a day but stabilized at 80M/20M. After I reboot the router, the speed back to 440M/20M. It never happened to me...

    RT-AC3100 updated to .16 from .15. Everything works as expected except: Failed to update Signature. It used to work on version .15. Is it happens on anyone?

    VPN client dedicates for specific IP

    I have multiple computers at home with wired connections. My ISP connection is 500M/20M. The average speed with the VPN client turned on is 30M/20M. My son plays video games sometimes which is sensitive to the ping values. I assume that VPN connection may increase the value. Is possible to...

    Support for RP-XXX Access points?

    Same question here. I set my RP-AC68U as a media bridge. The latest firmware is from June 2018. No update since then. I hope that Asus is still supporting it.
