    Usb tether

    Replying to an old thread, but.. I have just been trying to get this working without success. I have a Xiaomi Mi 11 - I plug this into my linux computer and it just works when I enable USB tethering. It's important to know "USB Modem" is not the same, modern Androids do USB tethering through...

    GT-AX6000 cannot recognize/mount SSD on USB 3.0 mode

    Some usb storage enclosure do not adhere to standards and need workarounds to their bugs. On linux you can pass a list of usb storage quirks to the kernel to work around that, normally done via bootloader. Not sure how that would be done on your router?

    Weird DNS Issue (always resolved to 10.0.0.1)

    This issue still exists. Was redirected here Google -> askubuntu.com -> snbforums. It seems that on an ubuntu server if the wan goes down on router it somehow disables dns until you reboot or possibly restart networking, since my server is headless, reboot it is. nslookup returns 10.0.0.1 for...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0 (continued)

    I have just noticed that config for DHCP option 60 and 61 have been added to WAN config, not sure what version that was added, missed it in the change logs - thanks that will be good for customers that use ISPs that require this like Sky in the UK. No need to use nvram command any more DHCP...

    ZenWiFi XT8 Double NAT

    Thats cool - I posted a request in the beta testing thread asking for that - I just noticed it too after checking. The setting persists through upgrades so you only need to set it again after a factory reset. Enjoy removing your double NAT. If you have SkyQ boxes it seems with my network the...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0 (continued)

    My wifes Asus chromebook has very weak wifi, I tried swapping the wifi card to an Intel ax200, but chromebooks are locked down so much that its not possible - I would have returned it if i had noticed but I didn't as its mainly used quite near a router node - As your CB probably has no ethernet...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I retrofitted an AX200 in my asus n550jk laptop (6yr old), got an adapter from mini pcie to m.2 NG, antenna connector is smaller, came with adapters, I swapped antennas to avoid the adapters improved signal slightly. If you are on Linux kernel 5.10.3 fixes some performance issues with ax200

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    @ASUSWRT_2020 Slightly off topic: A feature request, Please add DHCP option 61 to the WAN config when "Automatic IP" is selected. Marlin F/W has this but less of the newer routers are supported by Marlin and some people don't trust/want 3rd party firmware and would not be confident doing...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Rc8 automatically connecting strongest node works better than previous versions or production firmware. some iot devices on 2.4g would connect to node that would definitely be weaker previously. It wasn't causing a problem, I did not attempt to fix it in any way. I sort of assumed it was load...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    In case it gives a data point, I have had no issues whatsoever with port forwarding all through this beta and before. - I have Zenwifi XT8, port 443 forwarded, my own domain name with dns provided by namecheap, I have a script that regularly checks ip to see if it changed and updates dns. I...
