Is anyone else having problems with Native IPv6 and google pixel 2? As soon as I enable IPv6 on the router, my pixel 2 just keeps dropping wifi. 384.4_2 RT-AC68U. Latest firmware on the phone. Resetting to "factory" doesn't solve this problem.

He said its because of the quotation mark in the password, not because of those special characters.

And, I take it, it would have to be implemented inside the Broadcom binary blob?

Wasn't there a AP fix that prevented its clients from using all zero encryption key or something like that ? Its pretty safe if you live in your own home, but an apartment or condo with hundreds of potential exploiters in every direction. Not so much.

I've seen the changelog that says that it implements fixes, but I was under the impression that it's only fixes for when the router works in the wifi client mode or repeater. Also, someone with Alexa should try to link it to the router to try one of those commands...

Thanks will try in a bit. Currently running the pre-Beta build. Does 382 have AP side fixes for the Krack? Some of my devices will never receive security updates. :(

Why would you trust a DNS that is sponsored by the two different police agencies? And IBM? I might as well set NSA ip as my DNS server.

Does the latest pre-beta build RT-AC68U_382.2_alpha2-gdef3266.zip implement the fixes for Krack exploits? AP side fixes too? Thanks.

Well no, since it would set it according to the other wifi access points in the area. I think Apple devices work this way, they set region code either by scanning other APs and determining their region or the region of the client devices.

Yea, lets blame people who give us a more freedom of what we can do with our hardware, instead of the people who exploit it to transmit on restricted frequencies. If I buy a device, I should be able to use it fully in any country I take it to instead of being forever locked to restrictions of...

Yes, but neither you or Vortex are manufacturers.

Would it not be a responsibility of each US users to avoid using firmware that can potentially allow bypassing restrictions?

FCC is American agency, so the rules that they come up with only supposed to be enforced in the US. May I remind you that US doesn't equal the whole world. Unfortunately, due to extreme manufacturers' laziness and unwillingless to make a completely separate model for US, the whole world has to...

Why would you want them to approach it more serisously? Unless FCC goes after them, there is no reason to do so.

You want them to completely lockdown bootloaders? Hey I have an idea: put bootloader on read-only memory and make it execute only signed firmware. Oh wait I have a better one: have a firmware on a read-only memory and have another tiny memory for future updates that have to be signed by Asus.
