    Zenfi AX - node to repeater via cable

    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...

    Zenfi AX - node to repeater via cable

    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...

    DNS filter by MAC address possible?

    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.

    DNS filter by MAC address possible?

    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!

    DNS Masq and TP-Link Extender

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

    DNS Masq and TP-Link Extender

    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...

    DNS Masq and TP-Link Extender

    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...

    DNS Masq and TP-Link 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...

    DNS Masq and TP-Link Extender

    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...

    DNS Masq and TP-Link Extender

    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...

    DNS Masq and TP-Link Extender

    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.

    DNS Masq and TP-Link Extender

    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...

    DNS Masq and TP-Link Extender

    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...

    Time to upgrade from RT-AC3200

    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...

    Time to upgrade from RT-AC3200

    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...
