I came across this thread recently. Like many others, I have an rt AC56U which I haven't used for quite a while. I now need another Aimesh node to fill a gap in wifi coverage and am tempted to try the conversion to an AC68u. I think there have been some changes to mtd-write version2 since the...

Thank you for explaining. I don't often do a backup and have probably never read the small print in that the backup section. In this case perhaps I did tick the box which would cause the problem. If I feel brave I might try the backup restore again in the future making sure I don't tick the...

Thank you for the link. see below . Perhaps the problem is to do with the checkbox. Does that mean NOT ticking the checkbox will preserve the original user name /password. And what what happens if you DO tick the box re user name/password? I just can't remember whether I did or didn't...

Perhaps it is a firmware or router bug and I'm not sure which is the best way to make it known as an issue The router is an rt ax56u running the very latest (2024) Merlin fw. I don't believe that what I did -the same firmware, the same router-should have comprised the backup/restore process...

re "Well, if something wasn't working correctly (why else reset the configuration?)" Actually it was fine when I created and saved the config file. I then made some changes which I was not happy with, did a reset etc and reloaded the config file and that ended up locking me out. Anyway I'll...

What you describe as the fix is exactly what I was trying to do-backup,reset,restore to same router with same firmware from .cfg file- but was “locked out” at the login page. Normal user and passwords didn’t work and default ones didn’t either.

I've struck this problem too. Asus rt ax56u. Restored settings from cfg file then unable to login -wrong user/password. After another reset restored settings manually. Clearly unless I'm doing something wrong, the option of backing up and then trying to restore from a cfg file has no value...

Solved. The problem occurred when using the usb/ethernet adapter. Later I tried with a direct connection to my laptop ethernet port and the flash was successful.

I've just bought an rt ax56u. It came with Asus fw 3.00.4.386_45898 which appears to be the latest version from Asus. I've tried to flash merlin rt ax56u-3004-386.6.0 (the very latest available). During the flashing process the message is "updating plse wait" or similar. At the end of the...

The kill switch only closes the connection to vpn connected devices if the vpn tunnel becomes inactive. It has no effect on dns. In my situation the kill switch was always active in the various configurations yet the dns leaks continued until made the above changes to the ovpn configuration...

My VPN provider says "This is a very good method. It will no longer be necessary, we think, when the Asus Merlin environment will be able to tunnel IPv6 over IPv4 properly, which it currently can't".

I hadn’t noticed that option in dns director. In my case thought that wouldn’t help because my vpn client ovpn configuration files are at a national level. eg client 1 is “USA”. So when this is enabled it will connect to a specific server and dns in the USA. However there might be twenty...

Enabling ipv6 did allow the ovpn file to install successfully. A problem arose because my isp's DNS also showed up on an ipleak test. In turn the website redirected my browser back to my home country website rather than to the website where the vpn server was located. Disabling both ipv6 on...

Thank you Martinr and also Juanantonio. Enabling ipv6 in the router fixed the problem. Without the benefit of Martinr's reply my next step would have been to contact Airvpn. Nevertheless your input has saved me a lot of time and I am truly grateful. Thank you again.
