Don't know. - I only have the 1 AP - AX88u with multiple VLANs. Here's the guide that I used to configure it. Just note that if you're using the WAN port as trunk, - you won't be able to ssh or access the config page from WAN port once configured. You'll have to be on the main wifi or one of...

There are some guides on how to configure the AX88U with multiple VLANs - can do up to 7 VLANs on Wifi, or perhaps 8. I'm currently running 6 VLANs with the AX88U set up as an AP. Opnsense / pfsense are excellent - and will require a fair bit of time of tinkering. Initial configuration may...

This just made my friday morning - thank you, 😂😂😂

So far so good since doing the hard-reset on the 388.700. All is working fine. I have the following configuration and (point that I need to remember) Unit is configured as an AP only - with the trunk cable going to the WAN port. I have 5 - VLANs coming in on the WAN port (eth0), and then...

Version 3004_388.6_2 is stable for me. At the moment though, I have upgraded to 3004_388.7_0 and did the hardware factory reset, then reconfigured everything from scratch. Will see how it goes. If it crashes in a couple of days, I'll just downgrade again, and wait for another update.

I had done a soft factory reset from within when I had installed it initially. But after reading a number of the comments on the other thread that it's working fine - with a reset. I've just upgraded it again back to 3004_388.7_0, and did a method 2 hard factory reset, and redid the...

Just downgraded to the previous firmware. Similar problems, - the wifi suddenly drops, or there's no traffic for a bit, - cannot ping the router, etc....- would have to turn off / turn on the router for it to work again....- the previous version was stable.

The issue was not a hack. It was the Qsirch and another utility by Qnap. As Qnap upgraded the OS, it introduced "better" search functionality, with AI - so that you can find what you're looking for faster with better results, - images and documents. So, when those services are enabled (cunningly...

aaah - thanks.

@dosborne - many thanks. I thought more about what you'd said, and I think that you're right. After installing the most recent update, I hadn't logged into the system till the incident. In the messages that I was prompted - one had to do with data - privacy, and I recall agreeing to it. (i was...

@Val D. It's an Asus RT-AX88U...thanks

@ColinTaylor , - perhaps - although I doubt - as I usually receive a push notification that a firmeware update is available - ready for installation; but that wasn't the case then. May be it was something carried over from the last update. @dosborne - that's comforting to know. @L&LD - thanks...

where are those tools? would they tell me the internal IP address of the traffic and perhaps the port? - I'm still learning about Merlin. - The downloaded traffic is Steam, I was setting up a gaming computer at the time, but didn't enable any outgoing streams from Steam. Many thanks Val

Hmmm, I'm going to be hopeful and run with perhaps no-one had gotten in - i just don't know. Perhaps, some fault or so in the QNAP OS that produced those messages of drives formatted and privacy. The QNAP mycloud service had always 2FA enabled since I signed up to it, and I've disabled it now...

Router ought to be secure. Running Merlin's 384.15 - with skynet installed - with custom and large ip-filters - and with diversion and dnsproxy. I don't have any IoT devices. All remote access & management into the network is disabled (no vpn or anything allowed inwards). The only service...
