Good to know, thanks for the reply. Overall I am very happy so far with the RT-AC5300 and Merlin. EDIT - spoke too soon. I was accessing a networked PC remotely (VNC), the remote is connected to RT-AC5300, access just died. If I can remember my account info, I will access my RT-AC5300...

Dirty upgrade from .12 to .13 I noticed today that the Network Map screen has a couple of issues which I think were ok immediately after the upgrade and for days afterwards. Internet Status shows as Disconnected (it is not, the internet is working fine), and the View List does not show the...

DDNS is working, the router sends the correct 32.xxx IP but ONLY if set to = external. If set to = internal, DDNS sends the 192.xxx address. I think the modem has a web page for config, not sure, it's been years since I looked at that. EDIT - found the modem at 192.168.254.254. It shows Netgear...

WAN connection type = Automatic IP. The provider is Frontier (formerly AT&T UVerse), so yes, it's their modem.

Indeed, the web page says WAN IP: 192.168.254.11 Which setting will fix that? The router is configured for DDNS using dnsomatic, and the correct WAN IP gets sent. (method to retrieve WAN IP = external). Just a guess - if that = internal it will pick up the 192.xxx IP address.

Don.t know what to make of this. The R7000 and RT-AC5300 have very different output from the iptables command. The RT-AC5300 doesn't have any entries that match the WAN IP. R7000: root@Netgear_R7000:~# iptables -L -vnt nat Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 47026 packets, 13M bytes) pkts bytes...

Thanks for helping Colin. I will report back the iptables command tonight. I put the R7000 back in for today because I need to access my PC remotely.

Yeah, the R7000 port forwarding was done through the menus, not by script. The rules set up policy based routing with a killswitch, same configuration intended as is set up with the Merlin menus. Keep in mind the VNC server is on the same PC, nothing changed there at all, that was working with...

These are the rules I had in my working Netgear R7000: iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -s 192.168.0.160/27 -o `nvram get wan_iface` -j DROP iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -s 192.168.0.192/27 -o `nvram get wan_iface` -j DROP Merlin port forwarding is shown in the System Log > Port Forwarding, e.g. for...
