    dsnmasq cname infor lost after reboot

    OK. A look at the DHCP protocol shows that you are obviously right about the DHCP server not finding anything. The DHCP handshake is initiated by the client; if the client does not make a request then the server does nothing. On to manual reservation. This sounds like defining a static IP...

    dsnmasq cname infor lost after reboot

    Sorry to be dense, but I'm not sure how to interpret your first question. I haven't made any reservations. DHCP finds all active devices on my LAN when it comes up and assigns IP addresses to them. (It apparently caches those MAC/IP addr associations because it gives each device the same IP...

    dsnmasq cname infor lost after reboot

    cname=ds218-2.of-lan,lanmail.of-lan,ds218_2.of-lan Not very exciting.

    dsnmasq cname infor lost after reboot

    Yup. Same problem. I forgot I reported it back then. My connection is now going through a switch. (It apparently was not back when I first reported this.) The NAS gets its address via DHCP. And there is no problem accessing it with its address or actual host name after the reboot. It's...

    dsnmasq cname infor lost after reboot

    The subject of the post is very poorly worded. I have a dnsmasq.conf.add file with a couple cname records adding host names to a NAS. After a reboot of the router the router's DSN does not know about these cnames. I have to disconnect and reconnect the NAS Ethernet cable in order for the DSN...

    Solved Internet Speed Test Servers not correct for my location.

    Well, sometimes running a speed test from the router is exactly what's needed. A few months ago my internet speed dropped to about 5% its usual speed. That seemed to be true for all computers on my LAN - wifi and wired. Based on some unexpected error messages in my cable modem's log (and some...

    AX86U now reboots every day by itself

    Great if you have WiFi 7 devices. Not much of a selling point if you don't.

    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...
