    Afraid.org DDNS Down?

    I have been using Afraid.org as by DDNS server on numerous Asus routers for years with no problems. This evening none of my DDNS domains work anymore. They are all configured using chickenkiller.com. I can't ping any any of my domains. Also pinging chickenkiller.com does not work. I am...

    Can't Add aiMesh Node to RT-AC68P running Merlin 386.7_2

    I did a little more experimenting today. I loaded the latest stock Asus firmware into the RT-AC66U_B1 router and configured it as an aiMesh node. Connected the WAN port to a LAN port on the RT-AC68P main router running Merlin 386.7_2 and then searched for a new aiMesh node from the main...

    Can't Add aiMesh Node to RT-AC68P running Merlin 386.7_2

    I have an RT-AC68P router as my main router running Merlin 386.7_2. I have a second router (RT-AC66_B1) also running Merlin 386.7_2. I am trying to add the RT-AC66 as an aiMesh node to the main router. I have configured this router as an aiMesh Node. When I try to add the node to the main...

    Asus RT-AC68U Router Hardware Diagnostics?

    I have an RT-AC68U router that is having intermittent issues. I suspect that it may be a hardware problem. Are there any diagnostics available to test Asus router hardware?

    PPTP Server Passwords not Saved Properly

    I am manually entering the username and password and then click on the + icon. The Username and the password I entered are then visible in the username list. After I click Apply and then click on the Show Passwords checkbox, the password is not what I entered, but a random string of characters.

    PPTP Server Passwords not Saved Properly

    I am trying to configure a PPTP Server on an RT-AC88U router running Asus Merlin 386.7. When I enter a username and password, click on + and then apply, when I show passwords, the password for the username I entered is a completely random computer generated string. How can I get the router to...

    VPN Director (Policy Rules) Problem

    If I turn off the OpenVPN Server at the remote router everything works fine. If I turn the remote router's OpenVPN Server back on, the problem resurfaces, apparently because the Routing Table is using the Server's VPN subnet address, rather than the VPN subnet address that is assigned to the...

    VPN Director (Policy Rules) Problem

    I have two locations that I am trying to connect using the OpenVPN capabilities of Asus-Merlin. Our headquarters location has an RT-AC88U (Merlin Ver 386.7) router with an OpenVPN server configured as shown in the attached pdf. The remote location has an RT-AC68U (Merlin Ver 386.7_2) router...

    AIMesh Guest Network Performance Problem

    I have an RT-AC88U router running Merlin 386.7 as my main AiMesh router. I have one RT-AC68R and one RT-AC68P connected to the main router as AiMesh Nodes. Both nodes are also running Merlin 386.7. Both have hardwired connections to the main router. I have a very baffling problem. When I...

    Guest Network - Can't Connect to Network

    I have an RT-AC68P running Merlin Version 386.7. If I try to configure Guest Network 1 (both 2.4 and 5 G), it seems to work fine if I specify Authentication = Open. If I specify Authentication = WPA2-Personal, when I try to connect to the guest network from my Windows 10 laptop, I get a "Can't...

    Allow guest network devices to access each other

    I tried using this code at another site and ran into a new problem. At the first location, I created a single guest network on the 2.4g band. At my latest location, I created guest network 1 for both 2.4g and 5g bands. When I add this code to the router, I keep getting an invalid password...

    Allow guest network devices to access each other

    This worked like a champ. Luckily, the two printers I have in my office are both Canon C3525i copiers. These copiers permit me to connect both the hardwire LAN and WiFi interfaces at the same time. I connected my hardwire LAN interfaces to my Asus router, so that the copier is visible to all...

    Allow guest network devices to access each other

    How do I enter this code? I assume the printer needs to be connected to the router via WiFi, rather than hardwired? Will the printer still be accessible from the main (non-guest) network?

    Printing to AirPrint Printer from Guest Network

    I have an Asus router running Asus-Merlin 386.7. This router is also connected to two other Asus routers (also running 386.7) which are configured as AiMesh Nodes. I have a couple of AirPrint printers that I would like iPhone users to be able to access who are connected to my guest network. I...
