    RT-AC86U and IPv6

    It works now. I simply mess around the ipv6 settings on RT-AC86U. I disabled Accept Default Route and apply. No joy. Then I disabled Accept Default Route and apply. Full joy. The trick is WAN prefix length is not 64 but 56.

    RT-AC86U and IPv6

    RT-AC86U Firmware 386.14_2 My test setup is laptop > RT-AC86U > modem/router (DHCP and ipv6 enabled) > WAN My ISP is using PPoE so I set the RT-AC86U as PPoE and ipv6 as Native. Tested with google ipv6 test and result returned negative so only ipv4 is active. I connect my laptop directly to the...

    Temporarily putting AC-RT86U out of router mode

    Thanks. This is a silly question but I have to relocate the network cable from the blue WAN port to the yellow LAN port right?

    Temporarily putting AC-RT86U out of router mode

    Thanks, do you mean I can have my RT with own LAN IP range (10.x.x.x) sitting behind a modem/router with a different LAN IP range (192.x.x.x)?

    Temporarily putting AC-RT86U out of router mode

    My Asus RT-AC86U with firmware 386.14_2 has been so solid that I have not needed to make any changes for a long time save to login to take a look from time to time. I have always bridged my generic modem/router and put my Asus in router mode. I now have a temporary need to put my modem/router...

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    I am very tempted to remove it but don't know how to do it safely. Should I power down the router and remove it? Or I eject it from "safely remove disk" function on the router webgui? Sorry these must be dumb questions. I want to go back to basics and only have YazDHCP as an addon to the Asuswrt...

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    Is there any value in me keeping the USB drive in the router or should I just remove it?

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    Not sure if I did this right but I tried to show scripts. The only thing I can see is swap file.

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    On second thought don't think I should mess with Entware and should leave it alone. Is there a way to find out if my router requires the USB2 drive to function after removing Diversion?

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    Hmmmm ... good question. I installed these a long time ago and just could not recall what I did. I don't remember if Entware came with the Asuswrt or I installed it afterwards. Or if YazDHCP requires Entware. So if I uninstall Entware I could remove the USB2 drive, is that right?

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    Hi, yes I am still using RT-AC86U and probably will flog it until I really need new tech. I have just uninstalled Diversion and left Entware and YazDHCP untouched. I was wondering if I can safely remove the USB2 drive? Without Diversion I don't think it is necessary anymore but I don't really...

    [ANNOUNCEMENT] Asuswrt-Merlin 386_x devices are no longer supported

    Thanks @RMerlin for your hard dedicated work. My next router will certainly be on your supported list. Can I assume RT-AC86U_386.14_2 (17/11/2024) is the final version?

    Sonicwall TZ400 redeploy again?

    Have a decommissioned Sonicwall TZ400 from work and been sitting in my cupboard. I am familiar with Sophos and have pfsense installed but TZ400 looks like a different animal. Can't find anywhere whether TZ400 can be installed with any linux firewall. Have you come across if this is possible?

    Happy and sad for RT-AC86U

    Yeah be taking that approach. I have 2 units of RT-AC86U bought together second hand. Both setup the same way with one as spare. I am not familiar with WiFi6 and everyting at home works well so "if it ain't broken....". I don't chase for latest tech preferring to be one-step-behind so that works...

    Happy and sad for RT-AC86U

    I have had a very good run with RT-AC86U. Sad that it will be classified as limited support from Dec 24. I hope I can still use it with the final firmware until I buy another ASUS router that runs with Merlin. I have used many different brands of modem/routers and routers and this unit is my...
