DNS on my ASUS router isn't responding across VPN. Please help me figure out how to diagnose. I'm running OpenVPN on my RT-AC68U which runs Merlin 384.19. I'm running DNS on my router. When I'm connected locally, it works just fine. When I connect via VPN, I can't get DNS on my router to...

Since I have a drawer-full of wifi-enabled routers, I'm thinking that plan-B would be to take an unused N66U, put *it* in repeater mode, associate it to my cell phone, and then to plug my AC68U into that. i.e. I'll add a router in repeater mode, upstream of my 'real' router. I knew there was I...

How do I reconfigure an RT-AC68U to get its WAN connection via WiFi? I'm aware that I can change "Operation Mode" to Repeater, but that makes additional, undesired changes, such as altering its LAN IP address. I have an AC68U with an ISP router upstream. I want to just (manally) switch the...

For the record, it works quite nicely. 2 ASUS+Merlin routers defining 2 networks behind one ISP router. Kids' network on one router; adults' network on the other. Each router has a manually added route to direct appropriate traffic to the other. Firewall on the kids router has a rule to permit...

I'm looking at the source to TrafficAnalyzer_Statistic.asp, trying to figure out where the On/Off flag is stored. In the code, I see: $('#traffic_analysis_enable').iphoneSwitch('<% nvram_get("bwdpi_db_enable"); %>', function(){ switch_control(1); }, function(){...

Fair question. AC68U and AC1900 Version 384.19 (And I just added those to my signature but, sadly, I haven't figured out how to make my signature show up here.)

Need help with ntp segmentation faults. GUI reports: "Reminder: The system time has not been synchronized with an NTP server." syslog.log contains many: "reboot_scheduler: [timecheck] NTP sync error" Running "ntp -w -p pool.ntp.org" reports: "Segmentation fault" Running "ntp -w -p...

ColinTaylor: Thank you for the reply. No. The router on which I am entering this route has a WAN address of 192.168.2.8. Maybe we're just missing on vocabulary. I think the GUI fields I mentioned above are the equivalent of the command-line route I mentioned above, and the command-line route...

When I create a route via the GUI: Network/Host IP = 192.168.4.0 Netmask = 255.255.255.0 Gateway = 192.168.2.4 Metric = 1 Interface = LAN Click "+" Click APPLY it doesn't show up in the routing table when I connect via ssh and run the route command. What am I misunderstanding? Is there a...

L&D: Thank you for your reply. It will assign non-routable, private IPs from 192.168.x.x. That's what it currently assigns to 'untrusted's WAN port. I do have the occasional port forward from the ISP router, but the ISP router's WAN port is the only external IP address on my network, and will...

L&LD - Thanks for the reply. We seem to be talking past one another. You said it won't work without two external IPs. I asked what specifically will fail? Now you've assumed a second IP. I can buy another public IP address if I understand the need for one. But I don't need the outside world...

Oh. There you go. NAT - That's a complication and a simplification. From the standpoint of the ISP router, there is no 192.168.2.x or 192.168.3.x -- just the external IP of 'trusted' and 'untrusted'. The ISP router does not have the ability to manually add routes. So, as cptnoblivious...

What an interesting idea! What specifically will fail? The ISP router does NAT. It is used to having multiple IPs on its LAN.

I'm trying to run a 'trusted' home network and a separate 'untrusted' network. I'd like to remove a router dependency. Today, I have trusted devices connected to my "trusted" AC68. My AC68 WAN port connects to an "untrusted" AC66, which also has the untrusted devices connected. The AC66's...

When I add DNS names via dhcp-host entries in dnsmasq.conf, they don't work until the device requests a DHCP lease. Is there a way to make them take effect even when the device hasn't requested a DHCP lease yet? I put items in my /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add...
