    Prevent client from connecting to router but allow connection to internet via access point

    The access points are connected to the router which is connected to the internet. The client devices either connect to an access point or directly to the router, all of which share the same SSIDs. I want to stop a couple of client devices from connecting to the router and connect instead to an...

    Prevent client from connecting to router but allow connection to internet via access point

    Thanks. I thought Wireless MAC Filter, used in Reject mode, would also block the listed devices from communicating with the internet, rather than just blocking them from connecting to the router.

    Prevent client from connecting to router but allow connection to internet via access point

    I have an Asus GT-AX11000 router running the latest version of the Merlin firmware, along with two TP-Link access points. I have some devices that I want to block from connecting to the router's wifi and instead force them to always connect to one of the access points, but I don't want to...

    USB drive delayed access

    I have the Asus GT-AX11000 router with an SSD drive plugged into the USB port (3.0 mode). I use it to store videos and photos to share them to anyone connected locally (internet access is disabled). I have noticed consistently when I use Windows Explorer to access the drive after not having...

    Asus GT-AX11000 Router & Brother Printers Not Connecting

    I've actually just solved this, but I want to post a message here to describe what I found in case it helps someone in the future: I have a GT-AX11000 router and after the power went out today for about an hour and everything was restarted, I couldn't reconnect my Windows PCs to my wireless...

    asus GT-AX11000 temp?

    For those of you who are placing a fan directly on top of the router, is it oriented to blow air down into the router or pull air up out of the router?

    Local NTP server port

    Hi, I have an Asus RT-AC68U running Merlin firmware 385.5.2. I have enabled the local NTP server but did not have it intercept requests. My question is, if I want to configure a particular device to use the local NTP server to sync its time, I can specify the router's IP address as the NTP...

    Wireless devices show as wired

    Hi, In Merlin firmware 386.4 on an RT-AC68R router, I have a number of unrelated devices (iPad, Honeywell Thermostat, Android phone...) that show in the client list as wired, when they are actually wireless. Some have static IPs and some are DHCP-assigned. They all work fine -- I'm just...

    Speed drops when QoS or Bandwidth Limiter enabled on RT-AC68U

    It turns out enabling the bandwidth limiter did not disable NAT acceleration. But when I disable the QoS setting, it warns me it will also disable the bandwidth limiter for the guest networks. So it seems it's not possible to have full throughput speed and the bandwidth limiter on the guest...

    Speed drops when QoS or Bandwidth Limiter enabled on RT-AC68U

    I have an RT-AC68U running Merlin firmware version 386.1_2. I recently upgraded to an ISP plan with 400 mbps. I got the full speed when my PC was wired to the modem but not through the router. I tried changing various settings, but eventually resorted to resetting the router to factory...

    Guest Network B/W Limiter vs QOS Bandwidth Limiter

    RT-AC68R v384.17 firmware: If I enable the Guest Network bandwidth limiter feature, does the Adaptive QOS->QOS->Bandwidth Limiter (per MAC/device) table override the Guest Network limits? That is, if a device listed in the Adaptive QOS bandwidth limit table uses the guest network, which...

    Wired device appears as wireless (AC-RT68R)

    Hi, I have an Asus AC-RT68R running Merlin FW 384.13 and I noticed a strange issue with a wired security camera I just installed. It is showing up in the router as a wireless 2.4GHz connection . I have another of the same camera that shows up as wired as it should. I can't find any other IP...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

    Thanks. I disabled this option and re-upgraded and it seems to be working now. I may try setting it back to auto later just to see if the problem recurs to verify that indeed that setting is the culprit, but for now I'm just happy it's working. Thanks again!

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

    RT-AC68U 3.0.0.4 378.50 Blocking Remote Access to Security Cameras I have an Asus AC68U and have been successfully been running Merlin firmware version 376.49_4. A couple of days ago I upgraded to 378.50 and noticed that I could no longer access my security camera DVR via my WAN IP address and...
