Basically - a very simple system, with a few security settings tweaked for improved security. And with an Ethernet VLAN added to ring fence my Amazon Fire-Stick from my Main Network. As I stated above I have set DNS Director to OFF. 3 Clients:- Desktop on Ethernet on Main Network. Mobile Phone...

Hi.I've been using my ASUS RT-BE86U for a good few months with Merlin firmware RT-BE86U_3006_102.3_0 I had noticed some difficulty with using DNS Director, and had thus disabled it. When I noticed the following in the Changelog for the next Firmware:- "CHANGED: Setting DNS Director to "Router"...

Ta very muchly! You're reading speed must be much greater than mine! WoW! I'll let this be the "Dying Gasp" of this post, and create a new post sometime during the week, looking into the DNS encryption issue, which is totally separate.

Thanks for your time in reading and replying. When you say "That one is fairly normal", that's probably enough to reassure me... Anyway, as requested, I enclose the complete log - as of yesterday. I took the precaution to replace my Routers IP with XXX's. I also checked for any plain text...

Yes - neither would I - except for the stated necessity of going "Command Line", if I wanted to later. I can still go back... But yes - I suppose this makes me a pioneer! apart from these "security concerns" and sorting out the encrypted DNS, this RT-BE86U is working nicely. Temperatures are...

Hi, having run an ASUS RT-AC88U with Merlin for a few years now, there is no longer support, so I moved onto the RT-BE86U (not having clients which use 6GHz Wi-Fi, it's ideal for me!) I'm generally very pleased with how it's running! I've now got it running the 11th Jan Merlin release -...

Thanks for your replies. This seems to be the same standard answer, which I had seen before. I only "Re-Asked" the question because somewhere in my research, it was mentioned that it was possible (at least for ASUSwrt). Going back and checking the various sources I read, I can't find that...

I have a very similar scenario to above, so I've posted here. I've been running an ASUS RT AC88U for several years now, with the Merlin Firmware. It now has the very last version of the Firmware that will ever be available, since it will be no longer supported after this year (2024). Given the...
