    Dnsleaktest puzzle

    Ah I didn’t know that. I tested with Edge, which I’m assuming is the same as Chrome… Which browser do you suggest is best to test with? EDIT: I just tested on my iPhone (manually entered 8.8.8.8) and ran leak test from Safari…returned all Cloudflare 🙂 So, looks like Director is working, and...

    Dnsleaktest puzzle

    Looks like there might be a problem with DNS Director in Merlin’s latest 3.0.0.4.388 firmware. I have Cloudflare DoT configured on my router in strict mode with DNS Director enabled and Global Redirection set to “Router”. User defined fields and client list are all empty. DNS Server fields...

    BE86U - worth upgrading from AX86U Pro?

    Thanks. I don’t have any WiFi 7 devices. I think I have two WiFi 6E devices. The rest are a mix of 6 and 5. I’ve been very happy with my AX86U Pro. No problems whatsoever. I consistently clock 800Mbps over WiFi on my ISP’s 1Gb connection using an 80MHz channel. Only reason I was consider a WiFi...

    BE86U - worth upgrading from AX86U Pro?

    Thanks guys. I’m sticking with my AX86U Pro for now.

    BE86U - worth upgrading from AX86U Pro?

    My dad is currently using an AC86U, which has been end-of-life for a little while. He doesn’t want to spend a lot to upgrade. Rather than him spending any money at all, I was thinking of giving him my AX86U Pro and I’d buy a BE86U. I like the vertical/upright design (fits nicely in my space), so...

    Size of “donut” signal waveform emitted from AX86U Pro antennas?

    Interesting. The manual for this router says to position the antennas in a “W” pattern with the outer antennas at 45 degrees. Curious to know which instructions say to position them all vertically?

    Size of “donut” signal waveform emitted from AX86U Pro antennas?

    Thanks @Tech9. That explains it. In my environment, having all three antennas positioned vertically is so much better that in one corner of my house (one of the bedrooms on the upper floor), it’s a difference of 10db and ~200Mbps. In this particular bedroom (which sits above the garage and has...

    Size of “donut” signal waveform emitted from AX86U Pro antennas?

    I have an AX86U Pro located on the main floor of my house. I have a basement and upper floor. I understand that the signal is broadcast perpendicular to the antennas (i.e. if antenna is vertical, signal radiates out horizontally) in a donut-like shape. Thus, I also understand that it’s generally...

    DNS Director / DoT over TLS

    What about DNS rebind protection? OK to leave it enabled without too much stress on the router?

    DNS Director / DoT over TLS

    To be clear, you’re saying that if using an upstream DNS resolver that blocks malware, for example, keeping rebind protection enabled will generate warnings in the log? Any downsides to that? Also, are there security risks when disabling rebind protection?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.3 is now available for WIfi 7 devices

    So, is it approaching a decent level of maturity where perhaps we can expect an announcement for AX device support soon? 🙂

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8 beta is now available

    I agree with Ripshod. Sounds like an ISP problem.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8 beta is now available

    FWIW, I’ve been testing that website (several times) yesterday and today, and I can’t get it to fail. It loads successfully every single time I try. I’m using Cloudflare unfiltered DNS (1.1.1.1) over DoT with local DNSSEC (i.e. the setting on my router) disabled.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8 beta is now available

    I’ve occasionally seen strange behavior like that when DNSSEC is enabled, particularly when it’s enabled while using my ISP’s DNS. If you have it enabled, try disabling it and see if it helps.
