Ya I am actually trying to cover for the corner case of a power trip, rare but happens. I don't have UPS backup, so when I am away from home this could be an issue. If I manage to host a VPN server on the router and open the port to host PC on the main subnet I can reconfigure the IP Camera and...

Thanks for the link, nice trick on the lease extension! It may or may not work for me like you said, I am going to bookmark it for the future. Currently all my wired devices are retaining their 192.168.102 IPs, which is great! They all go through a network switch connected on port 4 now(which...

I had been busy for the past couple of days so didn't make any changes to my setup, except rebooted my router and devices a few times to check on the IP statuses. Good news is like you mentioned when the device renews it gets the same IP as before! But I like the idea of having a file in JFFS...

I don't have the sleep statements in my script anymore. Anyway, the IP issue seems manageable, issuing dhcpclient -r on the device side or rebooting the device does the trick. I can schedule a cron job on my linux device to do this if needed. Not sure how I am going to manage with the IP...

Thanks @bennor. Had I known about YazFi before I would have probably gone down this path, seems to fit my need well and has a GUI so much better! However, I would still have to deploy my firewall script to allow/deny access accordingly. Now everything is setup for me correctly, except for 1...

Ok I reformatted the jffs partition and wrote the scripts again using vi, I had been using vi anyway so no change there, but now the scripts work! And the logger works too so I can see my log msgs in system log. I have one more issue to tackle now, the services-start script setups the LAN port...

Thanks @drinkingbird I got the firewall setup to work! Now devices in VLAN1 can ping VLAN501/502 devices and viceversa. And internet access to VLAN501/502 is cut off, perfect! #!/bin/sh sleep 5 #logger "!!!!!!start firewall-start script!!!!!!!" iptables -I FORWARD -m iprange --src-range...

1. So, I will add port 4 to 502 or 501 only that should fix that. I still need to learn about tagged/untagged vlans. 2. My IoT devices are mostly IP cameras, I don't want them to ping their manufacturer etc. or be reachable by anyone on the internet. I want them as pure LAN devices reachable on...

Hello, Newbie here, I am trying to setup a basic home network separating IoT devices and my personal devices. I have a Asus RT-AC68U in Router mode running Merlin firmware 386.10 sitting behind my ISP router as the WAN. I want IoT devices(both wired and wireless) to be on a separate VLAN with...
