    Add port to RT-N66U with USB ethernet

    Of course, but attempting to use the USB solution will teach me more about Linux network administration. IPTables was the first thing I looked at, too, but nearly all the rules just specify "all" for source & dest. I wasn't aware of `nvram`, though, thanks for the tip. I was able to add eth3...

    Add port to RT-N66U with USB ethernet

    My RT-N66U is one port short of servicing every device in my media cabinet. I had a spare USB NIC, and plugged it in to one of the USB ports out of curiosity. It doesn't work out of the box as an extra LAN port, but it certainly is recognized. It shows up in "ip link list", and the web...

    WiFi Stability Problem (RT-AC68U)

    Eric, did you ever resolve the issue? I'm having very aggressive WiFi connectivity issues on AC3100@384.9Merlin, even with all of the recommended settings that you also seem to have gone through to no avail. I even disabled the suggested culprits on 5Ghz, and am seeing the problem equally on...

    Configuring AC3100 for ZeroTier One

    I found my answer in this thread from the Netgear forum: I don't have a public IP address from my ISP, so it's impossible for me to avoid double-NAT since there's a NAT layer outside of my control (tracert 1.1.1.1 shows 192.168 as the first hop, 172.26 as the second. If my router is...

    A Guide About Installing ZeroTier on ASUS AC68U Router

    Thanks for the clarification, MissingTwins (and thanks for this guide in the first place, forgot to mention that in my first post). I'm trying to truly understand the mechanics and logic behind this. Regarding order, I see two "DROP all" items in there, @ 3 with a STATE INVALID filter, and @...

    A Guide About Installing ZeroTier on ASUS AC68U Router

    What is the purpose of this step? Why would I want to drop ping from WAN, and what does that have to do with ZeroTier? I'm also wondering why I don't see a `ppp0` interface from `ifconfig` on my AC3100. Is it expected that I wouldn't see it, or does your AC68U have an interface that my AC3100...

    Get to admin site of Nighthawk M1 (MR1100) behind router

    I have a Nighthawk M1 (MR1100) for internet service. I used it briefly as the sole router, but then got an ASUS RT-AC3100, switched the Nighthawk to "IP Passthrough" mode, and inserted the new router in-between the Nighthawk and the PCs. It works great so far, however I'm not sure how to get...

    Configuring AC3100 for ZeroTier One

    I have a new ASUS AC3100 router, currently running ASUSWRT-Merlin 384.9. The router is connected to a Nighthawk M1 AT&T LTE hotspot, configured for IP Passthrough so that it's just acting as a modem and not as a second router. I've been using ZeroTier-One for VPN for a while, and it's been...
