I mean sure, that's an option. I'm just more interested in what causes the backhaul not to reconnect after the reboot. Probably a bug, sure, but it would be interesting if someone sees something in the logs I attached.

To answer everyone's questions: - I am using the latest ASUS stock firmware on both routers (3.0.0.6.102_33352-gc733d6e_345-gf3514) - My WAN port on the main router is connected to Google fiber with the 2.5GB WAN port - My WAN port on the mesh node is connected from the 2.5GB WAN port to the...

Greetings. So I've seen this issue a few times and thought I should post for help. Network: I have 2 RT-AX88U-Pro routers, one as the main unit, and the other as a mesh node. Backhaul is Ethernet. I have a reboot scheduled every Sunday at 5:02am, just because I like to make sure things are...

Is there any sort of demo site I can use to see Merlin's GUI in action? Something like https://demoui.asus.com/index.asp but for Merlin Firmware? I want to see the options available before I flash my router. Thanks.

Just a quick question.. I have a RT-AX88u Pro, running latest asus firmware 3.0.0.6.102_33340-g5c167ca_345-gf3514 However, I see mention of ASUSWRT5.0, and nice interface on Asus site. And people talking about it.. question is, where do I download this firmware? I don't see it on their...

Yea. I just looked up the RT-AX88U and apparently because I'm using AT&T and have a garbage Pace router it doesn't work well autonegotiating with 2.5gb ports. Maybe I'll just wait for an issue and then just convert everything over to google fiber which seems to allow 3rd party routers better.

Thanks I'll look at that too. I'm not limited by budget, but I don't want to spend unnecessarily if I don't need to. I can probably get away with even keeping the ct8 for a long time (since it's actually behind the AT&T router), but my tech itch doesn't like having "older" hardware, and I have...

Great! Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at this. Good idea about using the ct8's as mesh nodes.

Yea, but that's $270 for just one.. Is that what I should expect for a 2-node mesh network? Around $500 to match a CT8

Greetings, I just noticed that my Zenwifi CT8 model is EOL with Asus. I thought about replacing it with an XT8 or something, but I don't feel great about the zenwifi series itself. I love the Asus interface (and love if it supported merlin). I don't actually need the Wifi backhaul because...

Strange, I came here because of the exact same issues after the last release, on my RT-AC3200. The 2.4ghz wifi seems to be crapping out from time to time now. My clients can't connect, sometimes it says invalid password, etc. I even factory reset and inputed all the settings by hand. Still...

Can someone tell me exactly what this option does in the openvpn client? Restrict Access from VPN Server Site: No - site to site access Yes - (this is a foreign site) I have my clients tunneling through my router to my vpn provider, and I want to make sure I understand what this is. I...

Did this as well for the ports I needed to forward, and all seems well. https://airvpn.org/topic/9270-how-to-forward-ports-in-dd-wrt-tomato-with-iptables/?hl=%2Biptables+%2Bprerouting+%2Btun11+--dpor

Ok.. for what it's worth, taking this line out causes it to work. iptables -I INPUT -i tun1 -j REJECT However, I believe this line is designed to block clients from being able to access the internet if the VPN is down.

Sorry not exactly. Still digging. I think one of those iptables is blocking DNS lookups now.
