    Question, Getting the "Your ISPs DHCP does not function properly" issue?

    Bad Provisioning can lead to no modem sync or not recognized as legal DHCP client (MAC not in local neighborhood router tables of legal clients). Also my Dad's cable ISP (?Grandview?) makes no bones about discouraging privately owned modems. In those words. They say that although you are...

    Question, Getting the "Your ISPs DHCP does not function properly" issue?

    Check your modem sync lights. That is the hard test of reality. If your modem and the local cable router both lost your provisioning parameters - a power cycle will not work. I had that happen and they persistently told me the same thing. Its your desktop. I had to demand a supervisor because "...

    Latest Merlin RT-N66U Range

    Reread. Its a case of mitigating circumstances according to CERT. Routers are BORING! Not that something cannot be done to routers, but that it WON'T be done in their opinion. Too much work/risk for very little return and fast recovery for owners. So far they are right. But I have seen...

    DHCP failing to give DNS to clients in Merlin 380.68_4

    First time Merlin has had a defect that affects my usage. My RT-AC66U starts out with DHCP working correctly but after a few hours or couple days, DHCP starts just passing out IPs without the rest of the associated parameter values. Suddenly no Internet access but DHCP clients can access stuff...

    Latest Merlin RT-N66U Range

    Just saying do not expect a general protocol fix for Krack in Merlin. It would be a frivolous waste of scarce time and resources when Windows and every major distribution of Linux fixed the client side weeks ago. Sounds like you might be in a "small" business environment. You might want to...

    Latest Merlin RT-N66U Range

    yeah for most practical purposes. But if the router is patched (non-client) it will not replay the key for the man-in-the-middle to decode. It will force new keys to be sent only once until connection without possible reinstallation on client. At least according to CERT and several vendors...

    merlin 368_4 firmware

    Similar question for RT- AC66U are we end of support or just waiting in line for 382.xx? Because for me 380.68_4 seems to have the first flaw that ever really impact my use...DHCP services seem to be flaking out after a few hours and stops providing the DNS server addressses to clients that has...

    Question, Getting the "Your ISPs DHCP does not function properly" issue?

    Actually ISPs DHCP service will go down for short periods of time when they are doing maintenance usually in the middle of Sunday O'Dark hours. But more likely its your cable or ADSL modem needs a power off reset (unplug it 30+ seconds to be thorough). Basically no Internet reaching the router...
