I have no idea why this never occurred to me lol. Still on a learning curve I guess. Okay, so moving forward, I will just do this in future. Thanks again man.

I have YazDHCP installed but changed to using dnsmasq to overcome some character limitations in YazDHCP.

Or even better, if I need to nuke the router to factory settings, how can I stop network devices connecting and obtaining new/different ip's? I never really thought about this until I had to reset a router the other day and although I have a list in dnsmasq.conf.add, it wasn't loaded yet as the...

Afternoon, Is there a command or script I can run on the router while connected over SSH (AC86U with latest Merlin), that will add the current full lease list into a formatted list in dnsmasq.conf.add? Thanks

awesome, thank you!

Hi, I have a question? I suppose I could just try it but I was wondering if I remove all the ip addresses from my dnsmasq.config.add file will the hostnames still resolve? For example: dhcp-host=macadress,hostname,ip becomes dhcp-host=macadress,hostname Reason I am asking is on the rare...

On the back of your posts and advice I found this too: In IPv4, link-local addresses are normally only used when no external, stateful mechanism of address configuration exists, such as the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or when another primary configuration method has failed. So...

The devices have their own interface which can be accessed via a browser. The interface is saying that device is dropping packets. I went to learn wireshark to try and verify if what the interface was accurate but then thought maybe someone on the forums would know lol The devices work okay and...

From what you guys are saying, it doesn't sound like there is a problem. No worries, I totally get it and what your sayings, it's important for me to try and be as specific as possible as you guys probably don't have a crystal ball, but I'm not really understanding what is going on myself to be...

Sorry I did describe the problem in my first post, but not very well obviously. Some devices in my network are dropping Rx packets on the Lan and wan, all of the problem devices have local-link addresses and I believe this is somehow related to the Rx packets being dropped. Why do I think...

I have a couple of plug and play ethernet to usb devices on my network that have IPv6 enabled I'm sure, although they are not connected to the devices I don't want to have link-local addresses, could the ethernet to usb adaptors be causing the problem devices to get the link-local addresses do...

I am understanding this correctly? The devices starting with fe80 are link-local and instead of those devices using the router to get their IPv4 address, they are using some other device on my network that has IPv6 enabled to get that fe80 address and I need to find that device, disabled IPv6...

Morning, I have several devices on my network that seem to have IPv6 addresses and those devices are also dropping Rx packets on the Lan and sometimes on the WAN. Well when I say dropping packets, I'm still very early days with wireshark so can't confirm if the packets are actually dropped or...

Morning! Sorry, trying desperately not to ask too many questions, but..... I have added all the ips and host names to hosts.add (may change the file name at some point) but its working great and I can reboot the router/access points and after they have rebooted I can ping any host name on the...
