Yeah it is coming back to me now, yes think I have read something about it a while ago. So far so good for me maybe because I am a lite user and only have YazDHCP as addon. I do have a sophos xg105w in the cupboard bought used very cheaply. I did use another sophos SG firewall some years ago but...

Would like to suggest a poll for non-supported gear. For instance I have a RT-AC86U with another as backup (both bought used very cheaply). Understand this unit is no longer supported by Asuswrt-Merlin but these are just too solid to throw away. I do not know what other gear people are keeping...

@heysoundude @Tech9 Thanks both for your posts. I have read a bit more about ipv6. More importantly the potential issues and benefits. Not having much tech background, I think currently there is no need for me to use ipv6 until I understand how to properly configure my router. So I have...

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 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...

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?

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)?

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...

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...

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

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

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?

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?

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...

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?
