    Thanks Eric. All makes sense.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    I just updated my RT-AC86U from 384.17. All working fine. But I notice I have a weird option down the left in Chinese - from a bit of Googling it looks like UU Accelerator - whatever that is. Mine is an imported model, so am used to seeing a bit of Chinese (only when I factory reset though)...

    After 384.9 update internet shows disconnected....

    Well I think I've gotten to the bottom of my issue, and perhaps found a bug in the process. TLDR: DNSSEC + Strict Order + Open VPN Client (with DNS Servers that don't support DNSSEC) = "Disconnected" message. Explanation: Normally, my DNS Servers are 1.0.0.1 and 1.1.1.1. I have DNSSEC set...

    After 384.9 update internet shows disconnected....

    I think I have found a workaround. In my VPN client settings, I changed "Accept DNS Configuration" from "Strict" to "Relaxed". My VPN continues to operate correctly (without DNS leaks) and Internet status shows "Connected" at all times (well, has for the last 30 minutes). I did this for all my...

    After 384.9 update internet shows disconnected....

    I've updated to 384.10. Done a complete clear of all data, and manually re-entered everything. Internet still shows "Disconnected". This is on an RT-AC86U. I also set up my older RT-AC68U, manually entered in exactly the same settings. That works fine. So it is related to the RT-AC86U. I have...

    After 384.9 update internet shows disconnected....

    I too experienced this issue, however I think it is a bigger problem with the OpenVPN. I run several OpenVPN clients. One wouldn't work at all with 384.9. Others usually would work. Sometimes would cause other issues though - for example when I was trying to fix the disconnected message, I lost...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.6 is now available

    Do you have a TM-AC1900?

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.6 beta is now available

    I've found this on my RT-AC68 since 382 was first released. I installed 384.5 33 days ago. After the reboot it was using around 42% of memory. I haven't rebooted since, and now I'm up to 76% of memory used. I've not yet left the router long enough to see if it hits 100%, or if it eventually...

    Small DHCP IP pool bug

    Thought I might report a small bug in Merlin, which has been around for a while. I have two RT-AC68U routers. Every now and then I install the latest Merlin firmware on the unused RT-AC68U, and switch them. Whenever I change the IP address of the router, it insists on changing the DHCP server...

    SNBForums Policy on ASUS TM-AC1900 Conversion Discussion

    I think Tim has every right to decide what kind of forum he wants. And he has decided. A little disappointed that the thread wasn't simply locked - rather than deleted. It had a lot of information in there. There are plenty of other forums out there which will host this discussion - for example...

    Does T-Mobile/ASUS TM-AC1900 (RT-AC68U) Support Merlin?

    How ASUS was determining the difference between a TM-AC1900 and a RT-AC68 has been determined, and a fix posted. I think that if you implement the fix, you can install the latest Merlin firmware. Once you get back to normal RT-AC68 firmware, follow XVortex's instructions here...

    How to keep VPN from dropping (PIA)

    I use PIA, and my VPN has never gone down (well, if it does, it comes back up without me noticing) . One difference I notice is that your poll interval is 0, which is disabled. Mine is 5. Try that. In custom config, I have: persist-key persist-tun tls-client comp-lzo verb 1 auth SHA1

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.3 Beta is now available

    Is anybody experiencing increased memory usage over time? My memory usage goes up by about 1% a day. After a reboot, memory on my RT-AC68U starts off at around 46%. After 5 days, it is up to 51%. Haven't left it long enough to see if it stabilizes, or if it keeps going up. Wondering if this is...

    [Preview] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.3 pre-release test builds

    I've been testing the latest alpha with an RT-AC68U. One issue I've found is that the policy based routing doesn't work for VPN. I specify some subnets to send data through the VPN. However this seems to be ignored: all traffic seems to be going through the standard WAN interface. Edit: after...

    RT-AC68U temperatures

    I didn't have much luck with a cooling pad - I found the fans too noisy. However, they were 5V fans - perhaps connecting 12V fans to 5V USB makes them spin slower (and quieter)? If so, it sounds like a great solution. Either way, I doubt if the MTBF would differ much between a router running at...
