    Issue with Setting Backup DNS Server for Adguard Home on ASUSWRT Merlin Firmware

    I also tested the configuration in post #4 successfully: All the queries go the RPI and as soon as I unplug it, everything is passed to the backup dns. Thanks everyone for your insights :)

    Issue with Setting Backup DNS Server for Adguard Home on ASUSWRT Merlin Firmware

    I figured it out In the DHCP server, I used the router IP (192.168.1.1) Then I added the following commands in dnsmasq.conf.add no-resolv strict-order # NOTE: List servers in reverse order below (bottom is highest priority) server=192.168.1.160 # PIHOLE server=76.76.2.32 # ControlD

    Issue with Setting Backup DNS Server for Adguard Home on ASUSWRT Merlin Firmware

    The problem is that when the PI hole fails, clients do not automatically switch to the backup "external"dns. Is this "swtich-over" client dependent? how often does the client refresh the list of available dns?

    Files on USB share not showing

    Before doing the conversion to GPT, could you see any folders at all? In my case, my drive is MBR, but I have access to all files with alphanumeric names. Files with emojis in the filename are not visible

    Files on USB share not showing

    I think this is a different problem. In my case I can see the drive, and see all the files with alphanumeric filenames. Files with emojis in their filenames do not show up for me

    Thanks a lot @L&LD for your reply 1) When I downloads cartoon playlists for the kids from YouTube to watch offline, the downloaded files usually come with these "creative names". Going through them and renaming them manually will literally take hours. Hope if there is just a way to be able to...

    Files on USB share not showing

    Hello, I apologize in advance if that is a noob question: I have Merlin installed on 2 routers: AC68U (running version 386.1 beta 6) and AC66U (Running John's fork 374.43). Shared files (with special characters in their filenames) do not show at all in the AC68U. I tried both Samba and ftp...
