That is surprising step from the creators original posture "its primary goals are to enhance the existing firmware without bringing any radical changes, and to fix some of the known issues and limitations, while maintaining the same level of performance as the original firmware". Is RMerlin...

Yea these routers had a good run while they were still in the spot light.

I have my Asus router running in Aimesh router AP mode, and I have another router acting as dhcp and vlan switch connected to the modem. The modem hands out a /60 prefix. I have two separate networks one that is tagged as the main network, and one that is tagged as the 52 network. Each network...

I can tell you what worked for me, my ISP provides residential customers with a prefix that has a /60 subnet (about 16-/64 networks). I have my main router setting up the VLAN for the guest networks. For example, my guest network is on VLAN 52. My main network uses standard 192.168.1.1/24...

It works really well. But I caution in pairing the ASUS MoCA nodes, ensuring the right band range is essential otherwise pairing can be a daunting task even for the most technical savvy.

moca 2.5 enabled nodes are required to see moca Aimesh setup.

My intuition would tell me that this should be the opposite. you should require this to only be done over https, and inaccessible on http if port 80, or 8080 are either open, but I am not a genius here. Great work, I hope you continue with success.

Ah, yes, of course, the mysterious favicon GET. That’s definitely the culprit. Good luck with your strace wizardry! Looks like you are on to something!

I usually use this method when the webui is acting up, and clearing the browser cache doesn't resolve the problem. I am sure many users have seen some odd behaviors with the firmware check. I have even received fantom new firmware alerts. When in doubt, use this method.

I suspect @RMerlin is very close to switching from beta to final release.

I agree, kind of like a pickup truck having too much ram without enough dodge:

see him jump in the classic phone booth and no telling which one pops out.

notice the "or" in the middle - meaning one or the other. Not "and" which would imply doing both.

Not the ‘tech-savvy kid vs router admin’ showdown. Unfortunately, ASUS treats MAC filtering like it's a global border patrol instead of per-network bouncers. If you want true separation, you’ll need VLANs and possibly a router that doesn't treat guest Wi-Fi like a polite suggestion—Merlin’s...

I could see converting them over to AP for devices that don't play nicely with the new WIFI schematics, or check out FreshTomato which will probably take advantage of porting over some of those nice ASUS fixes for the AC model routers. I don't see FreshTomato stopping anytime soon.
