    Guest network web access but main wifi Nada?

    Turns out the problem was a dumb error on my part. At one stage when I couldn't get bridge mode working, I pointed the Asus Lan to the ISP router as gateway in Lan DHCP settings on the asus and forgot to change it when I successfully bridged the tp-link. Removing that gateway address restored...

    Guest network web access but main wifi Nada?

    The ISP modem/router in bridge mode has a LAN IP of 192.168.1.1, 255.255.255.0. I have enabled 2.4Ghz wifi band to facilitate administration with DHCP enabled. The Asus RT-AC86U has a LAN IP of 192.168.50.1, 255.255.255.0. The WAN connection is PPPoE with manual DNS server entries (just my ISP...

    Guest network web access but main wifi Nada?

    Thank you for the advice. Much appreciated. I have been thinking the issue must be some setting in the Merlin firmware blocking WAN traffic (firewall??) on the non-guest SSID with the bridged modem, as routing of internet through guest network seems to work. My level of understanding is a bit...

    Guest network web access but main wifi Nada?

    Was supplied a new modem from ISP (a TP-Link VX420 G2H) Unable to get bridge mode recognised by my RT-AC86U so just disabled wifi, DHCP on modem, and connected a LAN port on modem to WAN port on router. The result is that I have no internet on the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi, but do have internet on...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available

    Oddly, I had tried this already several times before posting, including restarting router from power off, but after a couple of hours delay, tried again and it just worked! I hadn't accidentally disabled web access at all. Thank you for your help.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available

    Asus RT-AC86U, Merlin 386.4_0. I just did a dirty upgrade and all seemed well. Then I wanted to enable ssh , which I did and now I can't login via web interface. I assume I've done something dumb by not paying attention, but is there some way I can re-enable web browser admin interface with...

    Cannot access asus router admin page but have full wired internet connection?

    Did all the usual things suggested in google search, including changing browsers. Same result. Wife is now working at home so reboot not an option. :) But restarting service worked. Should be unnecessary though. Its only just started occurring and I'm wondering if its because I have three router...

    Cannot access asus router admin page but have full wired internet connection?

    I have an Asus RT-AC86U running Merlin's Firmware Version:384.15, and in the last few days have found I can access the router ONCE using the GUI, (set to http only). If I go back later, or put PC in standby, I no longer have GUI access. However, if I restart httpd over ssh: service...

    Access modem Web UI on WAN port (no script) failure

    Ah! I was using Windows 10 to copy and paste into nano with powershell. I dual boot and normally use linux, but happened to be in Windows. Should know better or use Notepad++. Result: 10 second fix and it all works now after a reboot. Its been a great learning for me and my first script in...

    Access modem Web UI on WAN port (no script) failure

    Yes. I had access to the modem and the internet at the same time. I ran those two line manually, but no feedback on commandline. Still have access to modem through router. Its getting too late for me to continue tonight, but am keen to follow through with why script doesn't work at boot but...

    Access modem Web UI on WAN port (no script) failure

    Hmmm. Just rebooted router and repeated the script start and it worked! admin@RT-AC86U:/tmp/home/root# nano /jffs/scripts/services-start Not sure why given the error in line 2 mentioned above. Repeated the procedure, but the script did not run. Ran the script manually, it reported the error in...

    Access modem Web UI on WAN port (no script) failure

    Manually running script (after name change): /tmp/home/root# sh /jffs/scripts/services-start : not foundts/services-start: line 2: "ptables v1.4.15: Bad IP address "10.1.1.2 and the 3 commands you said to post the results: :/tmp/home/root# nvram get wan_ifname eth0...

    Access modem Web UI on WAN port (no script) failure

    For some reason its still not working. My first ever effort with a jffs script, so the error is probably mine. :( Below is a cut and paste from nano and also file properties: #!/bin/sh ifconfig $(nvram get wan_ifname):1 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING ! -s $(nvram...

    Access modem Web UI on WAN port (no script) failure

    I couldn't wait and gave it a try, but failed. I probably didn't understand your changes I needed to make properly: If my bridged modem is on 10.1.1.1 and my router is 192.168.50.1 and WAN is set to automatic ip, then is the script syntax I've created correct? #!/bin/sh ifconfig $(nvram get...
