    [RT-AC56U] Reboot cycle after update to original firmware 374.291

    Oops, I'm facing the same problem: only power LED is on, the LED lights at the back for the ports will all light up every 30 seconds. I tried the WPS & reset buttons combination, but have no luck. Any solution? Thank you~

    OpenVPN setup in asuswrt-Merlin: easiest approach using username/password

    Thank you Ford_Prefect for the patient assistance! I tried this, but still didn't work. My goal is to make the PC at home A to have the same public IP address as the router in home B. Reason being is that due to some restrictions, home A is behind firewall and could not access certain...

    Anyone could kindly help on this? Still having the same problem: VPN could connect, but can only access/view router's address; any WWW pages such as google.com could not be loaded.

    OpenVPN setup in asuswrt-Merlin: easiest approach using username/password

    Thank you for the help. I set the VPN Subnet as: 192.168.6.0 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Now the PC with OpenVPN client running could get an IP of 192.168.6.6, however, this PC can now only view the intranet of home B, ping other laptops, but could not get internet access to any website at all...

    OpenVPN Server 1 - Running while VPN Server disabled?

    Did you do a factory reset after installing/upgrading of firmware? I remembered that I experienced the same problem quite sometime earlier, while I was upgrading an earlier version of firmware. What I did was to reset everything to default and reboot the router, then everything is back to...

    [Help] OpenVPN server could not start in 3.0.0.4.374.35_4

    I see. Got it. In this case I don't think there's a necessity to upgrade then, since most of the wireless clients we have are still 2X2, in fact, only 3 are using 5GHz :D I believe if the VPN works well (based on your previous review of the better VPN bandwidth comparing with Broadcom single...

    [Help] OpenVPN server could not start in 3.0.0.4.374.35_4

    Thank you RMerlin for the technical details. I choose to use your firmware oven the ASUS one. :) BTW, I'm using this AC56U to handle 4-5 VPN connections from my friends, and about 15~20 local wireless connections from mine and my cousin next door, do you think AC56U is able to handle it or do I...

    [Help] OpenVPN server could not start in 3.0.0.4.374.35_4

    I tried to shutdown the router, wait for 5 minutes then power up, followed by restore to factory default, reboot, then setup the VPN server, the error message is gone. I'm not sure whether that's the real cause, but I did try to disconnect the WAN while turning on the OpenVPN server. I tried...

    [Help] OpenVPN server could not start in 3.0.0.4.374.35_4

    Thank you RMerlin! Didn't expect an assistance from the respective originator ;) Thank you for the wonderful piece of work! I did look into the log, it seems it's because I listed the VPN Client Address Pool as a different subnet from the router's IP. My stupid mistake. And furthermore, is...

    I'm using RT-AC56U, after turning on the OpenVPN server1, the following message shows in the "Export ovpn file" field: But I haven't touch anything else at all, even if I restore all to factory default, then start the OpenVPN server, it's still the same problem... May I know what it means by...

    Padavan's Custom Firmware

    I'm thinking of purchasing the N56U, just wondering: How is Padavan's firmware vs the original one, in terms of WAN/LAN speed and the wireless speed/signal, as well as the wireless stability? Does Padavan's have the function of reserve certain bandwidth for certain client, something like...
