It looks like also posted the same for advice on a r/openwrt forum about the same time. Over there one of the respondants said the router in question does not have support for hardware off-load and will suffer in this configuration. Suggested an alt device which the OP said they now had on...

I have not looked into the specifics of the tp-link exploit but instead of e-waste wouldn't it make more sense to install openwrt (assuming the exploit is firmware and not haredware vector)?

I currently run Untangle with a $150 annual subscription "Home Protect Plus" for the very useful extra "apps" which are just plugins to do extra things. One of them is the load balancer. It works excellently and is pretty easy to configure. I run this on a protectli appliance and it is very low...

Cloudflare had issues this am. Your router is telling you that since its one of your up stream dns sources. To avoid whole home outages its good to have at least two seperate upstream providers like cloudflare and google. Its not as likely both with have an issue at the same time.

The guys are right. A 2nd nic in your HTPC connected to a dumb (or smart) POE switch where all the cameras home is the simplest solution. Things to consider: * Static IPs for the cameras or dhcp? If dhcp then the htpc or a smart switch would have to act as the dhcp server. * Use a different ip...

Try another browser? perhaps a browser cache issue?

Its an IPS similar to Snort.

L&LD is correct, traditional QoS is broke and has been for a long time. Not likely to be fixed either. At least in the near term. Adaptive QoS should work but it needs more user intervention to get the desired results. Check out Flex QoS for Adaptive QoS...

I had a similar issue with a T8 thermostat. Worked fine on merlin code up till 2 revs ago. Jumped through all the hoops (factory reset, manually configured etc..) to no avail. Went back n forth from last working merlin to next two revs and everu time the T8 would never see either radio ssd no...

I am not aware of a way to block all ads completely on a global scale. Some ads just cannot be blocked with the typical DNS based filtering since the ads are hosted on the domain being used (think youtube).

It might be possible yes. You would have to setup static routes in each of the 2 down stream routers and possibly even the ONT. A better solution would be to Have one router and then everything behind that is switched on the same network. What you are describing is a router behind a router...

Probably need to replace the 2nd dns server ip with one of those used by your vpn provider. Check the two boxes force dns and force all traffic out vpn.

I would not count on it. Only Merlin knows what his plans are but I don't recall hearing him post that he would be adding that model. Good luck!

Look at the posts above yours. The v2 appears to be different (a China specific variant) so it does not work with the fork. The post directly above yours gives a possible work around but it wont be a Merlin supported fork from what I can see.

I can second Daves suggestion if you want Cake / piece of cake while getting more throughput then you need different hardware. Ive got OpenWRT running on a protectli fw appliance. Both AsusMerlin and OpenWRT are great operating systems. OpenWRT might take a little more understanding and...
