    AiMesh: clients keep connecting to the wrong AP

    I have RT-AX86U but the answer is probably valid for you. If you look at the AiMesh tab of the gui and select a node you should see the list of devices bound that node. There is a small icon (a link symbol) which will allow you to permanently bind that device to the AiMesh node. Hope this helps.

    RT-AC86U Override ISP DNS in USB WAN?

    I realise that this is a very old post, but did you ever get an answer? I have exactly the same issue today.

    4G Failover

    I've been using the built-in failover/failback for many months now using a ZTE MF833U1. It has always failed over and back again reliably without any problems.

    4G Failover

    I use the same device with an RT-AX86U, also no problems.

    Missing SSID on AIMesh node

    Many thanks for clarifying

    Missing SSID on AIMesh node

    Oh... that's a pain. Do you know where this is documented? Any workarounds or different configurations available that would allow me to get all the SSIDs on both nodes?

    Missing SSID on AIMesh node

    I have a pair of RT-AX68U both running 386.7_2 configured as an AIMesh with a Wireless backhaul. Backhaul connection is Good. I have 3 SSIDs configured: gnmnet, gnmguest, gnmdevs. The latter 2 are guest SSIDs. However looking at the network with InSSIDer it appears that the mesh node is only...

    4G USB Dongle for RT-AC86U

    I recently moved from an RT-AC86U to an RT-AX86U both running Merlin 386.7_2. I had a ZTE MF833U1, CAT4/4G USB with a Three Mobile Data SIM (24GB usable over 2 years) (I am in UK) which I use as a backup connection in case my main internet connection goes down. Worked fine on both routers inc...

    WAN failover in syslog?

    Colin Taylor - thanks for your help. Much appreciated. On my RT-AC68U the WAN connection messages are logged as kern.notice whereas yours are logged as user.notice - which seems a bit odd but maybe to do with different Merlin versions?. I've now taken a deeper look at the syslog server on my...

    WAN failover in syslog?

    I‘m using a QNAP TS-453 Pro NAS box. Reason I asked about options is that there are couple of parameters I am seeing on the log page which I haven't been able to find a documented description for. They are the two shown here... even if you think are not relevant to my issue I'd like to...

    WAN failover in syslog?

    Thanks for this, much appreciated. It is really helpful to have an example of it working. I am pretty sure I have not set any filtering or blocking on my syslog server but I will re-check. I note you are using an RT-AX86U - can I ask what code level you are running and what options you have...

    WAN failover in syslog?

    I'm seeing plenty of useful messages in the router log, such as: Nov 21 14:39:09 WAN(0)_Connection: link down. Nov 21 14:51:16 WAN(1)_Connection: WAN was exceptionally disconnected. Nov 21 14:54:08 WAN(1)_Connection: WAN was restored. However none of these are being sent by the router to my...

    WAN failover in syslog?

    Thanks for clarifying that. I think even if all logs get sent to the syslog server, my original question about the severity level and strings to look for still stand. I can't seem to find anything relating to a failover/failback event. Would be great if you, or anyone, have anything to share on...

    WAN failover in syslog?

    I have an RT-AC68U running Merlin 386.7_2 with a normal ISP ethernet WAN connection and a 4G USB dongle to provide a WAN failover. Failover and failback seem to be working fine, however I want to be notified when a WAN failover or failback occurs. My RT-AC68U is set to send everything from WARN...

    Access devices connected to the router and the router itself through VPN

    Pintset, the RC-AC68U can use a free DDNS service so you can create a domain name and the router will update the DDNS with its current IP address. Then you just configure your DDNS domain name in your VPN client and it will connect to the current IP address of you router.
