@RMerlin well I appreciate your work. You just have to endure the questions a little longer. They just banned all routers not made or even assembled in North America. 😂 The ASUS botnet which is being blamed for the unimaginable size of DDOS attacks in the last year isn’t helping the situation...

Well on my BE96U you have to have MLO turned on in the MLO menu AND have to have the "Front haul" switch for the network settings enabled for clients to use it. Thus, indicates at least with my router model or with the firmware that MLO is primarily being used for mesh backhauls. My comments on...

Someone correctly told me once that even if you are not using MLO you should have it toggled on in the MLO menu. Just having that on does not allow or advertise MLO capability. It's primarily used for backhauling only in a mesh system. In order for front end clients to use it you must turn on...

Yoooooooooooooooooooooooo, someone just get this man a coffee! This fixed the issues I was having with wifi 6 not showing in front menus and some weird performance dips I have been seeing on this version. MLO doesn't provide ANY benefits in any of my testing 6Ghz + 320Mhz is working better at...

Thanks Ill start doing that. However, issue returned this morning. Windows 11 most up to date devices are not consistently being shown when connected to 6Ghz bands. I can go in and force a refresh and they come back for a bit but then they disappear again after a while. Not sure what's causing...

Just confirming all issues remediated with a factory reset and manual reconfigure. I bet a lot of these users that are not having issues with dirty flashes are likely using very simple “auto” configs. For me, dirty flashes seem to break built in static leases and UI stuff. Not major but I’m...

Still having issues with some devices not showing in the main dashboard client's sections. Interestingly enough the devices that DONT show up there also do not get the static DHCP reservations I have set. Since this was a dirty flash, I'm going to do a clean reset and reconfigure to see if it's...

This would be an understandable situation for it but still ASUS has WAN link monitoring, and you can program in actions for it to take in the event successive checks for internet come back bad. If you want, you could put your own script in to monitor WAN link and if it goes down and does not...

I stand corrected. It is now seeing my 6Hz devices in the wireless menus on the main screen. I did have one error but I'm not sure what it means. Sorry for the false alarm. I swear it was not working for quite a long time. Why it's working now, donno, must be layer 8 issues.

Um this is what CRON jobs are for... Why would you pay for an external device when you can make a proper CRON job to do it for free? Most routers already have built in power scheduling too. CRON is for those that don't like the scheduling function or have them by default. Every router I have...

Using this on BE96U and so far, it is working well. While this version didn't introduce the bug this version still has the issue where 6Ghz devices are not shown in the main network map. The only place you can see those devices is in the System Log > Wireless Log. Either way just a minor UI...

I recently explored this topic and while I don't have any experience with the apps suggested above such as Unbound I do have an Ad Guard Home server instance. What I found is that sometimes blocking these calls can have the opposite effect if the device making the calls doesn't have good back...

All good man! DNS director is not included with stock firmware so i just went through the information on google and this fourm. Seems there is some details I overlooked. When you’re wrong, you learn how to become right. Thank you for correcting my misinformation. At least for me the DNS...

If you are not using the DNS director to point to other devices such as on prem DNS servers or a combination of WAN DNS servers for different clients, then turn DNS director off. There are two places to set DNS. LAN & WAN. This first one is LAN. If you intend to use the router as the primary...

@RMerlin I know you do this in your free time as a service to those that want more out of their consumer devices but any thoughts on dropping a new beta with the recent release ASUS firmware? Lot of security updates.
