Two different functions that you can read from their respective man pages: arp-scan sends ARP packets to hosts on the local network... https://linux.die.net/man/1/arp-scan Arp manipulates or displays the kernel's IPv4 network neighbour cache. https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/arp.8.html

Advertise DNS to clients?

https://github.com/lathiat/nss-mdns libnss-mdns would provide only lookup (& caching) of hostnames in the .local domain unless you register hostnames with Avahi. The current mDNS seems to work fine without a central lookup & cache. dnsmasq already provides hostname lookup for single-label...

scutil --dns <-- will show you the resolvers

dns-sd is the Multicast DNS (mDNS) & DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD) test tool for MacOS. dns-sd -q foo.local <---to get mDNS dns-sd -q foo or foo.domain <---to get DNS

Sorry - your opinion is not proof. Current Merlin on AX86U runs OpenVPN 2.6.5 which defaults to AES-258-GSM & AES-128-GSM, which openssl 1.1.1u provides. That cipher is much faster on the AX86U than the CHACHA20-POLY1305 (Wireguard) as can be seen by running the openssl speed tests. Of...

So you have proof that it is impossible....

You can get close to full Gigabit on OpenVPN. I have OpenVPN running on Asus RT-AX86U (latest Merlin) at home (Google 1G fiber) and have tested 840Mbps from a couple of the ISPs in SLC to ATL (USA) using AES-256-GCM cipher with only fast-io custom config on the server side. Clients have been...

NTFS file format is not supported by Samba (which provides SMB): https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/File_System_Support https://www.asus.com/US/support/FAQ/1011279 I stand corrected (on the router)

Good luck!

Suggest you forget the mesh mode and use AP instead. Try: ONT - (WAN) AC88U - LAN IP > Hostname=router, Domain=lan, IP address=192.168.1.1 [Apply] DHCP Server > Enable the DHCP server [Apply] AC88U (LAN) - (WAN) AC68U - set in AP mode LAN > Hostname=BasementAP, Domain Name=lan, Get IP...

OP appears fond of using ssh to change hostnames.... :)

btw - I hope you only use valid hostnames: Each element of the hostname must be from 1 to 63 characters long and the entire hostname, including the dots, can be at most 253 characters long. Valid characters for hostnames are ASCII(7) letters from a to z, the digits...

Are you sure? The link I sent shows that Jellyfin supports HDHomerun tuners. I know nothing about HDHR....

How are the "daisy-chained" devices connected? LAN-WAN? LAN-LAN? When you say "..the router..." which one are you talking about? Do you have DHCP running on each of the routers? I suggest you simplify your network to have just one router and multiple APs....
