Since you mentioned that the device works sometimes after restart and issues started few months back, I would make a guess that your device has an issue with the WiFi channel. Looking at your 2.4 settings - set on auto with a high number channel. I had a device way back that did not like...

What are your WiFi settings?

You mentioned that the devices are Apple products and I know from personal experience that private relay is very aggressive. it’s a pain in the butt if you want to turn it off for specific networks but use it on others. Settings are all over the place, some in WiFi, some in cellular and some in...

If private relay is active /turned on/ then it does work on all networks - cellular, WiFi and lan. You need to disable it for each specific network and settings are on different menus in iOS for example. Read and follow the guide lines here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102022

Did you turn off private relay in your iCloud settings?

I don’t really have an issue with the specific ads that show up but with how invasive they are. Did some more tryouts and see one specific Walmart ad ONLY when browsing your subgroup and more specifically the latest firmware topic - Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 is now available...

Just giving feed back and my reasoning. No drama. I might be done with it but stuff like this will help improve the experience of future users… hopefully. And in reality same can be said for your comment on my topic. Piece and respect. Tech9 as usual was the useful guy that put the time to...

Came to this forum because of Merlin and the community support. Been reading all the different topics for 6-7 years now and the support and information is great. Decided to register about 5 years ago. I don’t post much but generally enjoy reading all the different discussions and topics, as well...

There was a YT video of a guy few years ago that installed latest version of Windows XP and then just connected it to the internet and waited. virus after virus after virus. So in the same line of thoughts - win xp is very secure when kept offline. Why people need to upgrade to win 7, 10, 11...

And this should point you in the right direction - removing those features from your firmware. Plain and simple. It’s not a popular feature. There are at least 2 simple alternatives for people who want to achieve the same result - setting up VPN and continuing to use Merlin or moving to...

I’m not sure what kind of apps this user is intending to use, but if it’s streaming apps /since the device is a TV/ smart dns services are not going to do the trick. Tried it and most do not work. Max is not supported and it doesn’t work on Nord smart dns, same I think was the case with Hulu...

Try removing your old vpn profiles or manually disable the kill switch. There’s new killswitch implementation in 388.8

It’s DOCSIS 3.1 Companies started upgrading equipment last year in the US and I presume Canada. Standard has been available for many years with modems available 5+ years ago… but internet companies are slooow.

Delete your old vpn profiles. There’s new killswitch implementation

The new VPN killswitch is a beast! Absolutely amazing job!
