    OpenVPN doesn't work after switching ISP (Asus router)

    Thanks so much everyone! Got it fixed. I poked around on the ISP router, found that it was in "IP Passthrough" mode, but noticed I had some other devices connected directly to the modem, in addition to the OpenVPN router. Looking at the ISP router documentation, it says that it only gives the...

    OpenVPN doesn't work after switching ISP (Asus router)

    So I followed the suggestions here and am getting the same public IP address. So, if that is correct, my ISP modem/router isn't in bridge mode?

    OpenVPN doesn't work after switching ISP (Asus router)

    I asked the ISP tech to put their modem/router in bridge mode, but you know how that goes. I just created a no-ip account and tried again and it still isn't connecting. My router is showing my WAN IP is 192.168.x.x

    OpenVPN doesn't work after switching ISP (Asus router)

    Thanks Dave! Yes, I am using an asuscomm hostname. I guess I need to look for a solution to using asuscomm?

    OpenVPN doesn't work after switching ISP (Asus router)

    Hey all, I am limited in my networking ability so bear with me. I set up a VPN between two machines at separate locations, using an ASUS router's included OpenVPN server software. I have managed to keep this working for several years, until the past couple of months when we switched ISPs...

    Noob here...can you map a drive to your NAS from a remote machine?

    Thanks for the reply. I am trying to figure out how to save data at an offsite location without having to use a sync software like dropbox/resilio sync which means I have to have storage space on the local machine too.

    Noob here...can you map a drive to your NAS from a remote machine?

    Hey all, Is it possible to map a NAS drive on your PC even when it is off site? I am brainstorming to see if it is possible to create my own "cloud" backup storage, with a NAS offsite somewhere and get my computers to automatically back up to it.

    P2P backup alternatives to Crashplan?

    Hey all, I am currently searching for an alternative to my free crashplan backup service. Crashplan has been great for my backup needs, as well as with my parents (I backup my data to their computer and their data to my computer). With Crashplan shuttering it's free service in a couple of...

    Need another AP...buy another Unifi or two refurb asus?

    Thanks for the replies. Easy Rhino, it looks like they already have a workaround for the asus restriction. This guide looks to be pretty reliable. I guess the real question is whether it is worth it to continue buying the more expensive unifi APs or whether I should switch to the refurb asus...

    Need another AP...buy another Unifi or two refurb asus?

    Hey All, I built a house last year and ran cat6 everywhere. I installed a Unifi AC Lite in the ceiling of the living room, which is central to the house. This gets good signal to just about everywhere, except the garage and the back wall of our bedroom which is where our bed sits. The garage...

    wrong cfe with no mac address uploaded to ac68u

    Thanks. I tried that 100 times last night and it didn't work. Tried this morning and it worked. Thanks again. Still not getting it to connect via aimesh, but that is a different topic. Thanks again. EDIT: Got it to work by switching so the node was the router and the router was the node.

    wrong cfe with no mac address uploaded to ac68u

    Hey all, I know this is an old thread but I have a similar problem. I was flashing two routers at the same time and I uploaded the same cfe file to both routers. Now nothing routers have the same mac addresses and I obviously can't get them to connect to each other. I have tried...

    Can't get ports to open

    Thanks for the responses. I might try the factory reset. I initially installed Merlin because I was trying to connect our work server with a backup server clone we keep in my basement. I am using OpenVPN and was hoping the Merlin firmware would allow me to connect them directly, easier than...

    Can't get ports to open

    But before we get into that, is this problem something that is new? i.e. The system was working fine for months/years and then suddenly it's started playing up? Or has it always had this problem? I am not sure if it is a new problem or not. When I first installed the door openers (a couple of...

    Can't get ports to open

    Thanks for the reply. The hub is a Chamberlain MyQ (for garage door opening). When it is on an connected to the Chamberlain servers, I am supposed to get a solid green led light. However, my led is flashing, which means it is not making a connection with the servers for some reason. I have...
