In case it hasn't been mentioned elsewhere, this update seems to have broken AiCloud, prompting an "Unable to Connect" screen. Running the server on a non-standard port, forwarding is set up correctly, OpenVPN server still works, as well as WAN access to a NAS server. Reverted to the previous...

The strange path that LAN1 takes through the circuitry is precisely why I have the uplink from my switch plugged into LAN4. Thanks for confirming it's a bug rather than by ASUS' design. When I bought this thing a couple years ago, I thought I was investing in some minor degree of...

Running Merlin's current firmware (380.65.4) for the RT-AC87. 'Access intranet' is disabled. Connecting to the guest wifi network, I can still access the router's sign-in screen and use RDP to remote into my desktop on the primary network. Is this SUPPOSED to happen? Do I need to get a...

Rather than get into scripting/robocfg commands to manipulate the firewall, it would probably be easier to buy a managed switch and do VLANing. TP-link has an inexpensive 8 port that should work, model TL-SG108E

You can create your own self-signed certificate using something like OpenSSL, but it will still prompt a security warning in your web browser until you add an exception. If you're going to bother, do it right and obtain a 3rd-party SSL cert from a trusted authority (got mine from StartCom). To...

Solved my own problem- within the AiCloud page under 'Setting', there is a tab conveniently labeled 'Certificate', which allowed me to import my private key, cert, and intermediate cert. This seems to confirm my suspicion that the AiCloud server couldn't see the cert when installed via SSH...

I've installed my domain-registered SSL cert on the router, and it works when I access the WebUI administrator login page (default https port 8443). However, when I access the AiCloud page, the certificate is missing, and I get a security warning. Does AiCloud use a different server within the...

Success! Flashed back to Merlin, changed subnet from /8 to /24, flushed DNS, released and renewed IP, then rebooted the router. I didn't touch the windows firewall or anti-virus. Thankyou for the help!

I also tried a USB drive before going to a NAS (Synology DS214Play). AiCloud works, but it's far more cumbersome and limited in features than that of a full-fledged NAS. Go ahead and hook up a spare hard drive to get a sense of what you can do, then head to QNAP and Synology's websites- you...

...and the plot thickens. Switched my LAN from /8 to /24, and that broke my ability to connect with RDP over VPN even on the stock firmware. Flashed again to Merlin, same result. Switched back to /8, still couldn't connect, then flashed back to stock firmware. RDP over VPN works again...

Connected by IP. I have my LAN set up with 10.0.0.0/8, and the desktop's static IP is 10.0.0.101. The VPN server distributes IPs on the 10.0.1.0 subnet. So, if I'm connecting over VPN, my device draws 10.0.1.x, which has always worked flawlessly. Upon flashing to Merlin, I can't connect...

Well, that's my luck;) I doubt it matters, but I forgot to mention I'm using an AC87R. Ironically, your tweaks boosted my OpenVPN download speed by 10Mbps over a 4G verizon connection.

I have my remote desktop settings configured so that only local connections are allowed; port 80 is not forwarded to my desktop's static IP, so unless a device attempts to connect through LAN or over VPN, the connection fails. If I'm physically outside my network, I establish a VPN connection...
