    Help GT-AX11000 OpenVPN both server and client not working

    Update - I failed to update my dynamic DNS server in my router, so my requests to access the router's VPN server were being sent to the wrong public IP address. OK. So now looks like I can access my router from remote. But my VPN clients only connect to some of BolehVPN's servers.

    Help GT-AX11000 OpenVPN both server and client not working

    My GT-AX11000 main router reset itself to factory settings last week after working great for a few years. I did a hard reset and tried to load my last cfg backup, but it was either too old (2021 - lesson learned!) or corrupt, and did not work, so I did another hard reset and re-configured the...

    Devices with manually assigned LAN IP addresses receiving different addresses by DHCP, "multiple clients connected through this device"

    Nope, the new DHCP IP addresses are random, unrelated to previous assigned ones.

    Devices with manually assigned LAN IP addresses receiving different addresses by DHCP, "multiple clients connected through this device"

    OK, so I guess IOS 14 has "private MAC address enabled by default - it was on, and I didn't know about it until now. That explains why my Apple devices have new MAC address since the IOS 14 upgrade. But I have updated my manual IP assignment list on the router -the router is supposed to assign...

    Devices with manually assigned LAN IP addresses receiving different addresses by DHCP, "multiple clients connected through this device"

    Looking on my iPhone, I see that I already have "private IP address" enabled for my home Wi-Fi network. Lower down, it shows "2 IP addresses" - the two clients connected through the router. They are IPv6 addresses! No idea why they are there or what they mean! ??

    Devices with manually assigned LAN IP addresses receiving different addresses by DHCP, "multiple clients connected through this device"

    Thanks, haven't seen that, but that's not the big issue - new IOS with potential for iPhone MAC change is only once a year- I can keep up with that. The problem is the router ignoring the request for a manually assigned IP for the specific MAC address, and assigning a random one by DHCP to the...

    Devices with manually assigned LAN IP addresses receiving different addresses by DHCP, "multiple clients connected through this device"

    I have a GT-AX11000 with latest stock firmware (but from similar threads I think this affects other Asus routers as well). My iPhone has an IP address manually assigned in the router's LAN-DHCP Server page, but it has lately being assigned a different IP address, by DHCP, although the MAC...

    Any way to identify Guest Network connected clients? GT-AX11000

    What it says - is there a log entry somewhere that will distinguish which wireless clients are connected to the guest network? Thanks.

    Anyone successfully connect GT-AX11000 to connect to Netgear EX8000 Extender on 5 MHz high band?

    OK Interesting FYI about AiMesh performance. :( Recap main router Asus GT-AX11000 which replaced RT-AC68U, wired access point another Asus RT-AC68u in AP mode, trying to hook up Netgear EX8000 extender. So I said the heck with it, turned off the EX8000, reset my now extra RT-68U and put it...

    More about Wi-Fi Agile Multiband setting?

    I'm just learning about it after getting my new GT-AX11000 router. There are quite a few articles about it, but I can't find any nuts and bolts articles like: do all devices have to be capable? what are the incompatibilities? etc. I just turmed it on also. We'll see...

    Anyone successfully connect GT-AX11000 to connect to Netgear EX8000 Extender on 5 MHz high band?

    Wow that sounds extreme. It locked up your router? I guess one should stay with one company...

    Anyone successfully connect GT-AX11000 to connect to Netgear EX8000 Extender on 5 MHz high band?

    Thanks for response. Turns out if I force the access point to stay on the low band (assign a fixed control channel rather than "auto"), the EX8000 will reconnect to the GT-AX11000 high band again if I restart it. It likes the highest channel . All our Apple devices (iphones, ipads, macbook...

    More about Wi-Fi Agile Multiband setting?

    I saw this setting on my new GT-AX11000, and read the Asus FAQ https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1042471/. I see that by default, it is disabled, when I turned it on and then added a non-AX access point (RT-AC68u) as an AiMesh node, it became disabled again. (The RT-AC68u does not have this...

    Anyone successfully connect GT-AX11000 to connect to Netgear EX8000 Extender on 5 MHz high band?

    If anyone has successfully connected a Netgear X6S EX8000 triband WiFi Extender to an Asus GT-AX11000 using the router's 5MHz high band (5MHz-2) as a dedicated backhaul, PLEASE tell me how!! My network has 3 stations - main router is my new triband GT-AX11000. I have an Asus RT-AC68U (dual...
