Go to the LAN setup page and enter the IP address for your favorite DNS server in the 'DNS Server 1' field - without this setting the router can't figure out the IP address of the NTP server you have entered in 'Administration -> System -> NTP Server'. The alternative is to enter the IP address...

DNS resolution does work in AP mode if the user sets the IP address of a DNS server in the LAN->LAN IP->DNS Server1 and/or DNS Server2 field. In my case, I just set the DNS Server1 entry to the IP address of my main router which takes care of the DNS lookups.

Assuming your modem's Web GUI is at 192.168.100.1... Add the following lines to /jffs/scripts/nat-start #! /bin/sh ip addr add 192.168.100.2/24 dev vlan2 brd + iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o vlan2 -d 192.168.100.0/24 -j MASQUERADE logger “nat-start: Set up cable modem access” Make the...

Tunnelblick 3.7.1beta02 gives the user a few options though the default is still OpenVPN 2.3.14 with openSSL 1.0.2k. I configured it with OpenVPN 2.4.1 with LibreSSL 2.5.0 and it works well.

An alternate approach to getting NTP working in AP mode: Administration->System->NTP Server: Instead of using a name like 'pool.ntp.org' you can fill-in the IP address of an ntp server that you trust.

Right, in AP mode it's basically just a bridge between the wireless radios and the wired ports, so there there is no firewall. The main router (connected via the WAN port) takes care of all that.

Go to LAN->LAN IP. Set "Connect to DNS Server automatically" to No. In the DNS Server fields, enter the IP address of at least one DNS server - I just use the IP addresses of my ISP's DNS servers.

This happened just after I did a firmware reload and NVRAM reset. RT-AC87U. Merlin 380.64. No web access from WAN ever. Never used the smartphone app. I don't know what port was active - probably 22. I'm also seeing -a -j and -k on dropbear. admin@RT-AC87U:/tmp/home/root# ps | grep...

Airplay used to be completely broken on Asus's routers, because Asus did not bridge multicast traffic between the various wireless and wired interfaces (Airplay requires multicast). Sometime in the (recent?) past, Asus added Avahi to their codebase, and it works OK on my 87U and 3100. I think...

Well, WTF - SSH with WAN+LAN on my 87U - when did that happen? I sure did NOT set it up that way. Fortunately have the RT-AC87U on port 2 of my cable modem - there's nothing actually connected to it except my iPhone because I use it mostly for guest access.

Seems like a relatively common issue. My pfSense box has this warning: "Do not use 'local' as a domain name. It will cause local hosts running mDNS (avahi, bonjour, etc.) to be unable to resolve local hosts not running mDNS." The warning is true. I used local at one point and things did not...

97 degrees C for the CPU seems awfully high. Mine is at 54 degrees C.

I will give it a try. Thanks.
