Tried to D/L 386.12 from Sourceforge this morning (Sept7th .. ~8AM EST) .. nothing happened. I did manage to download 386.12 from the OneDrive mirror .. it updated my Merlin .. I trust this OneDrive mirror image is fine?

hi drinkingbird .. re: Guess the OP could try doing it over a VPN to see. that's not an option .. here in Canada, one has to be directly connected to one's ISP when using that ISPs IPTV service. so even though everything normally goes thru my Asus router which i run Surfshark VPN on, my...

hi drinkingbird .. I flipped the cable modem/router into Bridge mode (ie. disable Residential Gateway Function) .. no material difference in IPTV/image quality.

hi drinkingbird .. re: Looks like the MTU on your cable is lower the only MTU'ish variable i see in my VDSL-to-Cable comparison is the TCPinfo.PMTU variable & it's showing 1500 for both my VDSL & Cable .. what am i missing? yes, Teksavvy is my ISP for both my VDSL & Cable .. BUT .. Teksavvy...

hi ddaenen1 , re: - Did the ISP run the cable all the way into the house to the point where your modem/router is? yes , brand new thicker cable from Tap ( i think that's what it's called) to the gray box on side of my house & then brand new cable from gray box up to my 2nd floor bedroom. re...

I've had 50Mdown/8Mup VDSL for several years. I'm happy, it meets my Internet & IPTV & streaming needs. We're only a 2 person household w/ no gamers. However .. Bell is decommissioning my landline & I can't get a clear answer if Dryloop would be an option going forward. As I have a strong...

Thank you Martineau for the direction & thanks to chongnt for picking up that yes indeed, i need to route those 2 remote IPs specifically to my USA server OVPN2. I've never gone beyond working with the Merlin GUI, so i'll have to do some learning on basic scripting & how to access the JFFS...

So there is no way to direct a device to the WAN .. BUT .. override this for 2 explicit remote destination IPs to a VPN?

Rookie here .. I've scanned other VPN Director threads but am still confused. I have an Asus RT-AC86U router running Merlin Firmware Version:386.7_2. I use a Canadian Surfshark VPN server on my router & it is the default catch-all for all traffic. I'm having VPN Director challenges trying to...

Excellent .. thank you GSpock .. I had to hunt around to find "Time Scheduling" as I've never had need to go into Parent Controls .. and relating Network Map / Client Status to Parent Controls wasn't obvious to me. Thanks again.

I have an Asus RT-AC86U router running current Merlin Firmware Version: 386.5 All devices have an assigned fixed IP address via LAN/DHCP Server. In Network Map/Client Status, I set several devices to “Block Internet Access = Yes”. I want to adjust which devices are Internet Blocked but in...

hi SNBForums , non-techie newbie here .. i used & loved my N66U/Merlin setup for years .. very stable & it worked. i've moved to an AC86U recently & have found it quite frustrating. hardware performance/coverage seems great but the firmware has been flakey for me. i've bounced back & forth...

QoS - WAN/LAN Bandwidth Monitor ; Traffic Analyzer - Statistic confusion Hi SNBForums, non-techie newbie here .. it's quite an impressive forum you have here. most over my head but it's good to tap into the knowledge/experience of those who know. i ran my N66U router with Merlin for years...
