Thanks for all the great responses! Almost certainly I disabled the option Use same subnet as main network when creating the Guest Network Pro profile, as it was meant for IoT devices. What I don't fully understand yet: 1. Why do I need to add my Pihole servers #1 and #2 as clients under the...

Hi, Since I am not sure about the internal routing mechanisms of the Guest Network Pro towards the main LAN: Can my Guest Network clients use a pi-hole located in the main LAN? My router is RT-AX86U Pro running Merlin FW 3006.102.6 . Thank you!

>> Right click on the tp-link icon and select "save image" to download the png. Where to do that? The only option I have when selecting Save as is download the page as html.

Hi, While some of my TP-Link devices automatically got assigned a TP-Link icon, other TP-Link devices in my network device list have a generic icon. When trying to assign those generic devices the TP-Link icon manually, I noticed that the device list does not have a TP-Link icon available to...

Thank you, @bbunge !

Now I did, since my guest network clients lost their internet connectivity and I was investigating what could have caused this. It is the first GN so I knew it was not the issue. Also, no YazFi installed. What was the default DNS server for the guest network of FW 3004? The one from the router...

Hi, After I upgraded my Asus RT-AX86U Pro from firmware 3004 to the new 3006, a couple of my devices which are connected to my guest network #1 no longer can connect to the Internet. Unfortunately, I haven't checked and made a note which DNS Server the guest network clients were using with the...

Interesting, thanks for sharing. So this Guest Network Pro feature is not available on Asus Pro routers such as the RT-AX86U Pro ?

Is that also the case when you are running Merlin?

Thank you! Regarding "add firewall rules to limit access from that secondary IP network to the internet and NOT the immediate upstream network": What exactly do I have to do to ensure that?

Hi, Since I have an OpenWRT router ready to be configured for handling all my IoT devices, so that I can keep them separated e.g. via VLANs as well: How to restrict Intranet access to the other LAN & WiFi clients on my Asus RT-AX86U Pro router running Merlin 3004.388.8_2, when I connect the...

Understand, it's all about IP addresses. Unfortunately, as I experienced a couple of times, all of a sudden certain domains are blocked, and it's caused by Skynet. That's what I a interested in to see: A client likes to access a web site and Skynet blocks that. If there any way to get a live...

Hi, What is the option I have to select in Skynet (when connected to my router via SSH) to get a live view of outcoming traffic - including which domains get blocked? IIRC there was an option for getting such a view, but I can't find that anymore. Any hints? Thank you!

Update: As it seems switching the cable modem fixed my issues. Since then my Asus router no longer lost the WAN connection.

Modem (Arris SB6190, runs fine for 5 years) log shows nothing, and status UI does not report anything unusual. All LEDs are blue = Internet connection, and have been steady blue while my RT-AX86U Pro reports No WAN connection and shows a red LED. Today, it (no WAN connection with the red LED...
