    RT-BE88U Custom DDNS without Merlin for Cloudflare

    This is my biggest gripe with this router. Until (hopefully) Merlin is available for it. My current workaround is to use HA to detect the WAN IP and email me the new IP if it detects a change or if HA restarted, on my phone and/or laptop I then edit the ovpn config file with the latest IP and...

    I'm using this GPON SFP stick with my RT-BE88U for the past 3 months or so and I haven't had any issues.

    RT-BE88U - Some options not showing in LAN\Switch Control

    In case this might help someone facing the same issue: I've tried again by changing the router's IP to something in a different subnet (192.168.3.1). Then I've switched the LAN cable on my PC to my second NIC which I've set to use the 192.168.1.11 IP and 192.168.1.10 (the GPON's IP) as the...

    RT-BE88U - Some options not showing in LAN\Switch Control

    No, you understood it correctly. Before doing the initial setup of the GPON (setting its manufacturer ID, model, serial number and MAC to match the one from my ISPs ONT) I just connected the GPON to the router's SFP+ port and two things happened: 1. My AV popped up a warning about a potential...

    RT-BE88U - Some options not showing in LAN\Switch Control

    This might sound silly: why? When I've set it up initially I accessed it via 192.168.1.10, it actually showed up in the router DHCP address reservation. Although I'm suspecting this might have been a fluke. I'm not trying to contradict, I'm just trying to understand why.

    RT-BE88U - Some options not showing in LAN\Switch Control

    Thank you for the input. I get that, but I thought that actively using the SFP+ port would at least make the SFP+ and GPON related options avaliable. I've tried switching to dual WAN mode, like the one in the example video, but it didn't change anything in the Switch Control menu. I'll poke...

    RT-BE88U - Some options not showing in LAN\Switch Control

    I've been using an RT-BE88U for the past 22 days without any issues, this week I've configured it to use GPON SFP stick so I won't have to use my ISP's ONT, everything is working as expected. But looking through clips of how other people have set this up (one example being in another post here)...

    RT-BE88U (BE7200 US BB) is it possible to disable Wifi 7?

    I have WiFi7 disabled for the same reason. Here's the output of uname -a from my router, if it helps. vlad@RT-BE88U-C318:/tmp/home/root# uname -a Linux RT-BE88U-C318 4.19.275 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 18 20:15:25 CST 2024 aarch64

    ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router

    Coming back to this part; I've added a step in my Decode-AsusRouterConfig PS script to extract and format the DHCP client list to pipe-delimited text and save it in a separate file.

    ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router

    Yes, I'm aware. RT-AX86U Pro has a different OS than RT-AC86U and had no issues with importing both config files and JFFS partition backups from it. If you look side by side at the decoded config files from RT-AX86U Pro and RT-BE88U, they're still fairly similar. Most of the configuration...

    ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router

    It's a home automation platform. It has integrations for a bunch of stuff, including for Asus routers. See here for more info. For example this is how I see the CPU temp from my router, number of devices currently connected to it, and a few more metrics from AdGuard DNS.

    ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router

    I've been using BE88u (EU version) for the past two days. Pros: - So far it's pretty neat, I really love the 2.5 LAN ports since they've more than halved backup times from my PC to my NAS. - Wireless is stable (with at least 18 clients connected at any given time of the day) and the range is...
