This is what I have as my setup. I cannot run cables through the condo without major cost - all the walls are super insulated and soundproofed - so while not impossible, the condo association requires the use of special contractors and the cost is prohibitive. The question - between the ZenFi...

I have a Zenfi AX router. I am trying to connect a remote node via a cable to a Beryl Gl-net router set as a repeater (this will be a full time VPN connection). The node and the beryl are physically very close. The node is connecting to the main router wirelessly. I would like to connect the...

Thanks. I suspected this may be the only way to achieve my goals. I was hoping to not need custom firmware to achieve this. Hmmm. Back to the drawing board. I have a single device - a Roku - I want to use a specific DNS.

Considering a Netgear router. I would like to know if Netgear has a way to force a specific device by MAC address to use a specific DNS? Thanks!

Thank you! This worked perfectly. Thanks so much!!!!

Sure - sorry. I want all of the clients connected to the extender to be routed through the DNS service. I “thought” - seemingly incorrectly - that if I told my Asus router with the DNS Filter to route the extender itself through the DNS filter that all clients connected to the extender unit...

Thanks, Colin - the image above is the MAC Address of the extender itself - the device is called RE650. Custom1 is the DNS address my provider has provided me. What I am hoping for in the settings illustrated is all traffic is "normal" without DNS with the ONE EXCEPTION of the RE650 extender...

Perhaps I have taken things the wrong way - I apologize and I will give the benefit of the doubt. Thank you for trying to understand my issue, and for offering advice. I was told that whilst my RT-AC3200 is old that I should hold off buying another router until the "next generation" of Asus...

Yes, there is, with YazFI you add dnsmasq.conf.add and it applies the DNS server to your connection. Again, this works without the extender, but when I put the extender in place. I feel you are being combative and I don't know why. The tagline of this website seems much more welcoming...

In short - Merlin and YazFi work fine prior to the extender in my setup - except I moved to a bigger condo and the router is near the front door and my devices are much farther away than before through a bunch of walls. I have successfully connected the extender to the router but as you suggest...

While I am not on the LATEST version of Merlin I most certainly AM running the Merlin firmware and the YazFi code that my Merlin firmware supports.

Thank you - I now better understand what the extender is doing. I will say - the signal is MUCH stronger now away from the router :). I am using and Asus router with the Merlin firmware. It’s the RT-AC3200 router which is a little older but is pretty powerful. I use YazFi to force a dedicated...

Hi - I am using YazFi and the DNS Masq function. This worked great up until I started using a TP-Link WiFi Extender. The device works great, and my SSIDs are duplicated and connected to the internet. I am connecting the Extender to my router via WPS. The only issue I am having is when I connect...

OK! All moved into the new condo. As suspected - the WiFi works but is weak on the opposite side of the condo and doesn't work on my veranda. So - advice needed. I currently use YazFi on my ASUS RT-AC3200 router to create an SSID that is tied to my VPN. The other SSID's are going through a DNS...

Thanks all. I was trying to get ahead of the “issue” I case it was an issue and start researching possible solutions. Condo has special floors and ceilings with soundproofing that makes it major surgery to route cables. I won’t have cables running in the floor - it would literally be running...
