    Hostnames and LAN DNS Servers

    Thanks, these go in Upstream Server for the next person. Quickly resolved hosts on the LAN using the AGH as the DNS server.

    Hostnames and LAN DNS Servers

    After a period of time, without having touched anything, the rdns look ups for clients in AGH are all resolved using the router. This must be tied to lease renewal i am guessing? But i cannot use the local names on the LAN. If I add them as rewrites into AGH it works which is fine and only very...

    Hostnames and LAN DNS Servers

    Thanks. To be clear. Do i add this to Private Reverse DNS Server? I already have the IP of the router in there and Checked both User Private Reverse DNS and Enable Reverse Resolving. Also, am curious. The router does not look up hosts locally at all by design?

    Hostnames and LAN DNS Servers

    AGH I have tried the public ones, like 1.1.1.1 and nextdns. DNS Director is not enabled. I was running nextdns cli on the router and tried with it on and off. I guess the main issue is, i am SSH into the router, i can try with nextdns on and off and get the same result, cannot resolve local...

    Hostnames and LAN DNS Servers

    I was going to use an old Mac Mini as a dedicated Adguard server. As soon as i change the DHCP settings on the router to push the adguard server, no resolution of hosts on the LAN, which i expect. However Adguard has the option of specifying the Asus router for resolution of hostnames. However...

    Should I upgrade to RT-AX88U Pro?

    Yes i am unclear about the VLAN operation, I am trying to work out what happens if you have separate VLANS on the pro, but clients connect to the non pro in wired ap mode. Will those clients still be segregated into the VLANs configured on the pro or because that wired AP has no VLAN...

    Should I upgrade to RT-AX88U Pro?

    If you have the 88 pro as the primary router and the 88 non pro as a wired ap, will the wired and wireless clients of the AP still end up in different vlans. or would all of the AP clients end up in the same vlan. Many thanks

    AX88U Sudden Death x 2

    I have an AP AC3100, i will swap the power on them. But why? Something weird with the power causing the device to brick/corrupt in some way? I guess not much else i can do but see if the issue follows the power supply to the AP. thanks

    AX88U Sudden Death x 2

    Hi there, i bought the AX88U in 2020, i have a 3100 as a wired WAP. The AX88 has an 8 port switch attached, so only 2 LAN cables connected, it runs Next DNS and IPv6 and thats about it. 6 months ago suddenly in the evening it just powered off and could not be turned on. I google every hardware...

    Asuswrt-Merlin Serving IPV6 Router IP Instead of IPV6 DNS Server IP F/W 384.19

    Thanks for prompting me. I removed the pihole for now, if NextDNS works ongoing then great, if not i fail back to pihole. I guess i need to explore the best cache/proxy method now - eg stubby, dnscrypt-proxy ?

    Asuswrt-Merlin Serving IPV6 Router IP Instead of IPV6 DNS Server IP F/W 384.19

    Thanks. Yep MyPhiholev6Ip is my actual IP. I know what you're saying, i am not seeking complication. I already have pihole and Merlin DNSFilter doesn't work with IPV6 as i understand it, so this seems to be the easiest way? My main aim is to use IPV6 and have the fastest DNS i can have with ad...
