My RT-AC68R flashed with Merlin has AIMesh support. When did Merlin start supporting AIMesh? Was it SOON after your post? ;) LOL

Thanks to all for your input. A little more looking into this. I was starting to think maybe using AiMesh and buying a comparable cheap T-Mobile of my 68R, and after flashing, using those at the Two Story residence with AiMesh, but I am getting that Merlin doesn’t support AiMesh on the 68R...

I'm looking at setting up another residence with cable internet. A 1700sf two story, and the router would be downstairs. I'm inclined to look to ASUS w/Merlin because at our other residence we have had a RT-AC68R (bought at Costco when this model first came out). This router has been rock...

Yes PC has 2 slots free.

And then what kind configuration either with the adapter , my router, or within Windows? I guess am going to start looking for an adapter then . Do you have any suggestions? I did a lot more searching and think I found what I was looking for. First I found this thread...

Yes there is a utility that the manufacturer provides to allow configuration including IPs . Cameras are all Dahua I currently have the cameras setup but not on their own Isolated Network. I did use this ConfigTool https://dahuawiki.com/ConfigTool Which is found here...

I guess I need to post this in another topic or keep searching since this is not related to the Asus router. I have read over at a forum specifically for IP Cameras called ipcamtalk .com that some have put a second Network Card/Adapter in the dedicated PC that they use for Blue Iris. But I'm...

I did ask a related question over in the QNAP topic because I have an unused adapter in my NAS. But I didn't get input on how I might use that and direct traffic to Blue Iris. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/using-second-adapter-to-create-isolated-lan-for-ip-cameras.61235/#post-541859 And...

I would connect from the Network Card I would install in my Dedicated Blue Iris PC to a PoE switch that will power each camera and receive the video stream. I am not extremely network savvy. I will search more on the subject. Basically I Don't Want the individual cameras to have access to the...

First off, not sure if this is the best route, but I do have an ASUS RT-AC68R (same is U) for my router. What I want to do is setup a VLAN or Isolated LAN, also heard it called a Walled Garden, for my IP Cameras. I see people talking about it but no actual setup descriptions or instructions...

Well I don't know if it all will support VLAN, but I am using an Asus RT- AC68U flashed with Merlin as in my signature. So your saying that I could use the Asus RT- AC68U to create the VLAN to isolate the IP Cameras (all Dahua) from the internet? I will have to look into the router method you...

I would like to find out about possibly using the second Network Adapter on my TS-453Be for creating an Isolated LAN, or Walled Garden, for IP Cameras. I however will not be using the NAS as my NVR. I have a dedicated Windows PC that I will run Blue Iris on. This PC with record and store all...

I would like to get a better understanding of home networking. I get confused with exactly how networking works and all the different terms. Anyone want to recommend a good source of learning on YouTube that goes from basic to more advanced? Reason for YouTube is that I have a subscription...

Also regarding WPS. I would like to use it to setup my printer. But I see in AiProtection that it suggests you turn it off. Can you turn it on temporarily to setup a device and then disable it for security?

I am replacing my old HP Microserver that was running WHS 2011, with a QNAP TS-453Be. I am not familiar with QNAP at all yet. I Noticed over on Slickdeals that RT-AX88U the goes for around $250 when on sale. The QNAP ships out to me in a day or two. Also, I’m confused as to what model...
