*Update: I am using the latest Merlin firmware. Could someone move this into the Merlin forum if appropriate? I am using an RT-BE88U router with the 10G port as my WAN port. The link is recognized as 10 Gbps and I have 2 Gbps service from my ISP. When running a speed test using the tester...

nvm I figured it out... on the Network tab...

I just unpacked a brand new RT-BE88U and installed Merlin on it. I am seeing that I am not able to configure the WiFi networks. It walked me through doing a 2.4/5/IoT network as part of the setup but now in the GUI I can't see or change the config but the networks are broadcasting. How can I...

I don't think you need the script. I just put the IPv6 equivalent in the router GUI for ipv6 DNS and it saved. Clients are now getting the converted IPv6 DNS

yeah if you set add router as "no" and don't define an IPv6 DNS, it automatically adds itself anyway I'm not familiar with how to do custom editing of config files, how is that done? I'm not even sure what to edit. I just want the router not to hand out ipv6 DNS at all.

pihole seems to get the same MAC as the Unraid server it's running on even with a custom IP. Router doesn't see it as a separate device

Update 2: seems the ipv6 prefix given by the ISP is definitely not static. My pihole is still working but is on a different prefix than the rest of my LAN now. Whats the best way to make this work?

Update: I was able to reconfigure to use Native for IPv6, my ISP or the router is finicky and I need to do a full reboot every time I make a change that impacts WAN even if saving the setting in the GUI does not trigger a full reboot. I put Pihole on a static IPv6 address in the range given by...

I recently changed ISPs and the new ISP uses CG-NAT but allows IPv6 passthrough. I enabled it and my clients can get IPv6 IPs which helps get around the limitations of CG-NAT to some degree but I also use Pihole on my local network with the router configured to give out the pihole IP as DNS. I...

Still running standard 348.18 on an AC86U and haven’t had any issues with Protect since enabling it for DNSFilter to use Google DNS.

I was able to enable dns filter to send my Protect to Google DNS while everything else uses my configured DoT setting. It came back online after reconfiguring WiFi and now I’m hoping it stays that way. Hopefully there is a more permanent solution in the works.
