    AX86U: Connecting ISP ethernet kills web inteface & no internet

    Asus 3.0.0.4.386_49599 is better in that the web interface is still accessible after connecting the WAN, but the internet does not work. But even with minimal setup the loss of features compared to Merlin is oh so clear. Towel thrown in. I think it's going back to the store, or RMA, or something.

    AX86U: Connecting ISP ethernet kills web inteface & no internet

    YazFi is not the problem. Neither is 386.7_2 as 386.5_2 has same issues even with a simpler setup. The most recent reconfigure only had custom DNS, a single VPN Client with 3 VPN Director rules, access web interface via HTTPS and enable ssh with key access. Connect the ethernet cable and boom...

    AX86U: Connecting ISP ethernet kills web inteface & no internet

    @rxe25 I do have 386.7_2. Those dreaded words.... rebuild from scratch. I have done that about 4 times this week. I tried uploading a configuration but it complained about invalid file? Thanks for your tip, I may try it if setting up YazFi breaks it again.

    AX86U: Connecting ISP ethernet kills web inteface & no internet

    Thanks, I turn that to off when i come across it. It's like those ISP search hijack pages... But still, it's not that the WAN is down, but the whole router seems to freeze up and is unresponsive when the WAN is connected. WAN is good. I slowly added some of the configs I want and seems Guest...

    AX86U: Connecting ISP ethernet kills web inteface & no internet

    I didn't have many issues with Netgear R8500, which had incredible range when installed in the basement. I moved to an Asus AC88U for the features + merlin, and at times regret it, and now AX86U mainly for the faster processor. Asus with merlin seems to do everything I'd like it to in an all-in...

    AX86U: Connecting ISP ethernet kills web inteface & no internet

    With WAN cable plugged in, the setup wizard does not seem to detect the connection's settings, seems to time out, then requires manual config of typical settings. When getting to wireless network config, it seems to not continue. I rebooted and went through it again, finally getting it to...

    AX86U: Connecting ISP ethernet kills web inteface & no internet

    Actually, latest merlin firmware says it all. These posts are dated and you are obviously familiar with what is current. Anyway, it's 386.7_2. Going to asuswrt loses some merlin features which I would much prefer to have and were working great. And I guess you're not familiar with the nulcear...

    AX86U: Connecting ISP ethernet kills web inteface & no internet

    Thank you for reply! Turn off modem (Verizon ONT), router--did that overnight. replace ethernet cable--impractical as it goes through multiple walls from outside to router's location and would require cutting & installing new termination. But I guess I can bring in another cable through a...

    AX86U: Connecting ISP ethernet kills web inteface & no internet

    I have spent hours diagnosing and re-setting up and am out of ideas. I have an RT-AX86U set up with the latest version of merlin. It was stable for a good while, then Monday, out of the blue, while away from home, everything went offline. My VPN to home could not connect and i couldn't do...
