    New Official Firmware Support from Asus

    While I agree with all the "Not going to happen; stop asking" sentiment in this thread I don't think the general availability of wifi 7 is any reason to get off AC routers. Wifi 7 (or Wifi 6) devices on your LAN -Yes. Failing router hardware - Yes. Improved performance - Yes. Using old...

    Weird VPN config - can it work?

    Not an option. See the other thread for a more detailed explanation.

    Need help testing a peculiar configuration

    Not an option. This a non-profit org that was given two old laptops - one running Win7 (that absolutely will not be connected to the internet) and one running Win10 (that soon should not be connected to the internet). I'm trying to provide them service that they don't actually need but would...

    Need help testing a peculiar configuration

    This thread is based on, and references, a couple other threads. In the thread here I ask how set up sort of a WiFi extender containing an OpenVPN client so that the Ethernet-attached can see only the VPN, not the internet. And have this usable (with minor setup) with whatever WiFi network is...

    Need WiFi 6 router with native support for modifying it's DNS server config

    Yes. but none of my Windows computers (5 of them) are up all the time. IO could change that, I suppose, but I'd rather not. Now that you mention it, I suspect that is a very common technique. I've already replaced 1.1.1.1 with 1.1.1.2. I have no idea how similar the blocking is between...

    Need WiFi 6 router with native support for modifying it's DNS server config

    Adding another device to my configuration isn't part of my simplification scheme. And I don't speak Linux. Setting up a separate DNS server on a Raspberry Pi is probably more than I want to handle right now (regardless of how straightforward it may seen to you). I do have a couple NAS devices...

    Need WiFi 6 router with native support for modifying it's DNS server config

    This is sort of a double (or triple) post but greatly simplified, I need a router with WiFi 6 support that has the ability to add CNAME records to its DNS server. I assume (based completely on wishful thinking) that a router natively running OpenWrt or DD-WRT has a way for users to configure...

    Weird VPN config - can it work?

    Hmm. I didn't know the GL.iNet could be configured as a VPN client - never thought to look. Thanks for mentioning it. The SSID and credentials would have to be set in the laptop if it were allowed to connect to the internet. Changing the same information in the router shouldn't be too...

    Weird VPN config - can it work?

    I have a simple VPN setup: OpenVPN server on a NAS; open port on a router; DDSN. Works fine for accessing a share on the NAS remotely from computers running the OpenVPN client. But one of the users needing access has difficult configuration: The user has a laptop running an unsupported...

    Need help downgrading a router

    I currently have an ASUS RT-AX86U (not Pro) running Merlin 3004.388.8_2. I'm completely satisfied with both the hardware and firmware, but both are a bit overkill for my needs. I would like to simplify my setup a bit so my wife has less to deal with when I'm gone, and I think I should address...

    Peculiar syslog entries

    Interesting. My guest network security keys are pretty weak but I'm going to assume this is something I've set up to use the guest network rather than a neighbor's device that has guessed the key. Confirmed. It's a Kindle. I have no idea why it decided to connect shortly after midnight...

    Peculiar syslog entries

    Interesting. I don't have an Amazon device of some sort. Are Wi interfaces wireless? (That would make sense.) I suppose the device could be a neighbor's. I know nothing about such devices but I assume it would have to pick one of my SSIDs and security key. Is the any way to associate...

    Problem connecting to OpenVPN server on AX86U

    I hadn't thought of that. It's very unlikely that my ISP would block the (non-standard) port I'm using, but your reasoning still stands.
