    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    If it's "Reserved" in the router (not set static in the device) DHCP still does the IP address assignment. When the router sees the MAC address as the device is connecting to the network it looks to see if you have defined a specific IP address for that device. You will see the device is just...

    Seeking Feedback & Contributions: Merlin Auto Update Solutions

    Just a dumb user... I think scripting the update process is really cool. As a user how I work is this. Read these forums, ask some questions and maybe if I'm lucky I get to answer a question. As a RMerlin user you should know that I went to some effort initially when I researched and bought my...

    Network Map - View List Button?

    Thanks for this. Won't be able to test until April when I get back to my Centurylink location. Curious, I don't have IPTV and I thought the Centurylink VLAN of 201 was for the WAN port.

    Network Map - View List Button?

    Thanks for the info Peter! My VDSL ISP requires a VLAN of 201 to connect to their network. When I couldn't set the VLAN in the PPPoE settings in my AX86U I found I could set the VLAN in the Centurylink provided modem/router and then put that modem/router in transparent bridge mode and set the...

    Network Map - View List Button?

    Wonder if the AX routers that now have a "Pro" model fall into the "early AX class"? Also wonder what the "Oops" link is about since it seems to be an empty search?

    Network Map - View List Button?

    I didn't realize there was so much to do/fix on "the list" with the current Merlin firmware? I'm not sure that many of our devices will ever see 3.0.0.6, is there any announcement that indicates this will happen?

    Network Map - View List Button?

    Thanks and true, it's one click that I was wondering if could be avoided altogether by changing the default. Doesn't hurt to ask and now I know that there isn't an option to change the current default.

    Network Map - View List Button?

    The list that results from pressing the View List button is in "All" mode. Is it possible to have "Interface" be the default display setting for the "View List" button?

    Unknown Device - No IP Address?

    Thanks for the replies. Can this device do anything without an IP address?

    Unknown Device - No IP Address?

    I found a device in my Wireless log that doesn't show up in the "View list" or DHCP Leases list. The only place this device shows up is in the Wireless log. The MAC does not come up with any vendor when I search MAC assignments. Any idea on how to find out what it is? Here's what my Wireless log...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    Reset and manually doing reconfig done (not restored), so far all is as it should be except for keeping the router lights off.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    Full reset at 3004.388.6. Maybe I'll do it again, nothing to lose.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    I was working on adding a name to a new client in the "View List" on the "Network Map" page and it won't save. It's the IP 192.168.0.171 device. In looking at all places where this device is listed I find some really weird stuff going on. First snip is the Client list, second snip is from...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    Just a comment on this... My Squeezebox Duet receivers (2.4Ghz 802.11g) have an issue with any router I've ever had if 2.4Ghz is set to Auto. If I manually set the channel these devices are rock solid. Do you have your old IoT devices on a 2.4Ghz Auto radio setting? If so, try manually picking...

    [ 388.4 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    @Damit1 I'm wondering what you define as a crash? To me a crash would be a state where you would have to press the reset button or power cycle the device to get back on line. A couple of lines in the log but the device continues to function as it should, would not be a crash in my mind. Just...
