    Starting OpenVPN with TAP Client seems to crash RT-AX86U

    Hey @sojomy, I just brushed off the dust from my GT-AX11000 and updated the firmware to 3004.388.4. As soon as I start up my VPN client peer the TAP VPN is established and unfortunately after 5-10 seconds of successful and fully working (tested) connectivity my VPN server then crashes and...

    Starting OpenVPN with TAP Client seems to crash RT-AX86U

    Look here for my similar story... Thread 'Internet access inconsistency and a repeatable crash with GT-AX6000 and GT-AX11000 vs my RT-AC class routers'...

    Starting OpenVPN with TAP Client seems to crash RT-AX86U

    I've had the same problem for 7+ months, unfortunately. I believe it's something in the drivers for AX class routers, I've tried two different models, just like you... I'm currently still using my AC as my server to avoid this until hopefully one day this is fixed. For me, having an AX class...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    I upgraded my AX client to 388.2b1 and unfortunately TAP VPN between my server and client is still broken. The same client works fine (as always) with my TAP VPN server running on my AC router, just not my AX, unfortunately. I've tried AX6000 and AX11000 vs my older AC5300 as my servers. Both...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    I will likely try, but since the tunnel is being established, briefly, I doubt this is the crux of the issue. But maybe, if there's a parsing related corruption or something like that...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    I just tried upgrading my GT-AX11000 to 388.2b1. Unfortunately, my TAP based VPN server crash issue still remains :( (dirty update this time) I find it strange that I see the same crash/reboot (~20-30 seconds after a successful tunnel is established) with all three of the most recent firmware...

    GT-AX11000 and Merlin

    Shame things aren't working well for you yet. There's new Merlin firmware coming for your AX11000 router, maybe that will help. I'm planning to try the same setup as you, but I need my AX11000 to be stable on Merlin first, so I'm not there yet. My stability issues are because I have a remote...

    Internet access inconsistency and a repeatable crash with GT-AX6000 and GT-AX11000 vs my RT-AC class routers

    Okay, I see there's new binaries incorporated into the upcoming firmware for the GT-AX11000... "Merge GT-AX11000 binary blobs from 22525" Hopefully this will fix the Open TAP VPN server crash that happens with 386.7_2 and 388.1, fingers crossed... Ready to test when I can!

    [ 388.2 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    I had similar issues with guest wifi on my AX6000 and AX11000 with 388.1. My setup was from scratch each time, and each time I experienced strange connectivity issues with guest network clients, and in some cases non-guest connections too, which made it all very strange and mysterious. The issue...

    Internet access inconsistency and a repeatable crash with GT-AX6000 and GT-AX11000 vs my RT-AC class routers

    Indeed, I've had great luck over the past several years. But I think luck is the key word here... I also tried a WireGaurd based alternative, but that's not happening yet either... I'm a cheapskate and a bit of hacker at heart :)

    Internet access inconsistency and a repeatable crash with GT-AX6000 and GT-AX11000 vs my RT-AC class routers

    I decide to have another go. I have determined thay my inconsistent wifi connectivity issues were the strange result of trying to pre-configure the router before dropping it into place to replace my existing working router. Somehow, methodically configuring the router without a WAN connection...

    Internet access inconsistency and a repeatable crash with GT-AX6000 and GT-AX11000 vs my RT-AC class routers

    It's because I need the sophistication of the VPN configuration that's made possible with Merlin firmware. In particular, I need the custom JFFS script functionality so that I can tweak my ebtables to block DHCP over my TAP tunnel. I am under the impression that the custom scripts feature is...

    How to block DHCP protocol over a TAP site-to-site VPN (useful if you host separate DHCP subnet ranges at each site as part of a superset subnet)

    Crafted for an Asus router with Merlin firmware. Enable SSH access to your router (administration/system) **I don't recommend exposing SSH access to the internet unless you are really comfortable with the risk. Enable JFFS custom scripts in router (admin/system page) This example is...

    Internet access inconsistency and a repeatable crash with GT-AX6000 and GT-AX11000 vs my RT-AC class routers

    I recently decided to upgrade my primary home router (AC5300) to an AX class router to match my remote location, which is already running an AX68U and is connected to my home via a site-to-site TAP based Open VPN connection. Since the firmware versioning between AC and AX seems to be diverging...
