    Advice on router

    No. It's ~2.1x more expensive for the perception of future-proof. Not bleeding edge. You could actually be fine using it as a dedicated AP once firmware is deprecated and putting it behind another dedicated hardware firewall/router or Raspberry Pi-hole and be happy for years and years (unless...

    Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) vs ASUS RT-AX88U PRO AX6000

    Roommate runs VR headset that's dependent on a stable signal with no dropouts or random Eth/LAN resets. AsusMerl seems to always be stable on anything he touches but on the troubleshooting forum (not this one) on that other router, it looks like dropouts are common on various firmware versions...

    Diversion Diversion 5.1.3 - the Router Ad-Blocker, May 09, 2024

    Thank you for all your work over the years. Raunning this program since grabbing an 86U and it's been fantastic. I hope you continue in good health. Will donate when in a better situation to do so. Again, appreciate all your work. ____ Weirdly Diversion Standard would block a majority of...

    ASUS RT-AC86U Issue/Dead (Eth4 LED Only)

    Always had fans on 3 of them, even if two are only used as APs and not really processing anything. The main router being used as Diversion+Skynet finally started killing one flash drive it's been using since 2018 (SD Formatter saved it). I don't know why restarts always cause the USB to not be...

    Router temperatures

    If you're buying a Noctua fan and want to run 5vUSB just buy an "NF-F12 5V". It includes an adapter and in what I'm seeing (at least locally) is the same price as a regular F12 minus the convoluted process of a separate PSU or hacked wall warts. Really all ya need, just 1x 80mm fan on a router...

    Private Internet Access (Bad IP actors)

    Router: AC68U with Merlin WRT, Diversion and Skynet firewall. Is anyone here using PIA and seeing a bunch of hits in Skynet? I can connect to VPN servers but Skynet is now blocking IPs (so far 17) with 3-5+ hits on various engines (checking on virustotal/"relations" tab). It gets hits whether...

    amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

    I'm just going to point out that amtm seems to be unresponsive getting updates from the 3 sources it tries to pull from. I just wound up doing curl commands to install Diversion and Skynet. The 68U is able to access the domains, but for whatever reasom amtm isn't accessing them or just timing...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Signed up just to post here. Many cuss words were muttered when I had noticed hphosts lists sudden 404 from the update pool. This hadn't been updated here so figured it was worth posting. As to what happened to hphosts lists, source link quote:
