    Immediately forcing DDNS update

    DDNS indicates "Unable to connect to the Internet": leaving me to wonder why? @ColinTaylor: Thank you for the reply. Router replies "Done." to Terminal command. ISSUE: nslookup does not return the WAN IP in the photo. I suspect this is because of the "Unable to connect to the internet"...

    DHCP Clients are not returned

    I maintain several routers and should keep a log for each one. That said, this router was upgraded from an older Merlin version, that was working perfectly (this is where the log would be handy). I have tried rebuilding the NVRAM with the procedure: ** Power off the router ** Hold the...

    Mounting USB drive

    An attempt to standup an RT-N16 on K3.X DD-WRT was abandoned in favor of John's Merlin-fork. Firmware:374.43_2-39L3j9527 The flash drive was accessible from DD-WRT and was reformatted to EXT4. The screenshot show that the router recognizes the Sandisk USB drive, but it is umounted. What...

    Add DHCP static leases from CLI
