    Managed Switch Config Issues

    @ColinTaylor yes, no issues with the VPN server or the client software - this speed capping only happens when connected through the switch. When connected directly through the router, no issue. Oddly though, I also get this same issue when I remove the switch from the equation and have an Asus...

    Managed Switch Config Issues

    Anyone have any experience with this managed switch? I got it configured and running. VLANs are passing through, getting fast speeds, but running into one issue. ANY device, whether running via an AP to the switch or connected directly to the switch is getting full over gig speeds, but when I...

    AdGuard Home on pfSense

    Started exploring pfSense recently. Have the router/firewall setup and running. Want to add more packages like AdGuard Home (don't want pfBlockerNG) etc. Followed this tutorial to get it up and running. I realize that this method only has AdGuard working on 1 interface. I tried binding AdGuard...

    How do setup vlans on gt-ax16000 running merlin?

    Asus has released a new firmware 3.0.0.6. It supports VLANs out of the box. Give that a try and post of findings, please. I'm thinking about doing the same thing - Asus routers as AP with OPNsense, but I currently don't have an OPNsense box to test with.

    VLANs on APs

    Thanks @Tech9 I don't have any way to check at the moment. Waiting for the Merlin firmware for my router for 3.0.0.6 to try the setup. Was hoping someone who is running 3.0.0.6 on their router and AP to chime in. On Ubiquiti gear (router + AP, no Asus gear), does the AP require manual config...

    VLANs on APs

    Suppose I have two of the same routers, both running the 3.0.0.6 firmware w/VLAN support. If I configure one as router and another as AP, will the VLANs from the router translate to the AP automatically? I think I would need to configure the ethernet port that connects to the AP as Trunk...

    Hardware issue? Error log

    Got it! Thanks for explaining. I noticed that my devices connected to Guest Network weren't getting internet. I restarted the Guest Network and the router has been running happy for 12+ hours. No disconnects, no error logs!

    Hardware issue? Error log

    Yes, the privacy page is blank - Asus and TrendMicro have no permissions. Curious if anyone can explain what wl3.2 refers to? Mar 8 hostapd: wl3.2: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: disassociated Mar 8 hostapd: wl3.2: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: disassociated Mar 8 hostapd: wl3.2...

    Hardware issue? Error log

    Have been having problems with my router for about a week, where the router randomly locks up and DNS queries are not being resolved. I thought it might have been related to a recent update to AGH. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling AGH. Went through several reset, reconfigure cycles, but the...

    DNS Resolution Not Working

    The usual suspects: AdGuard Home Unbound scMerlin Scribe vnStat I've spent a good portion of the week trying to reset, reflash, reconfigure the router from scratch, but the problem persists. I've now gotten to a point where the DNS queries stop sporadically. I looked into the logs when the DNS...

    DNS Resolution Not Working

    Running into a bizarre issue since updating AGH to the latest version, v0.107.57 about a week ago. I have tried resetting the router, installing and uninstalling different scripts, in different order. In another thread, someone mentioned adding 127.0.0.1 and ::1 under "Allowed clients" list...

    ntpMerlin AGH is breaking ntpmerlin

    Thanks for explaining the issue @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow and spending countless hours trying to rectify the issue. AGH is crucial, so will continue to use that. ntpMerlin was just a curiosity - I can live without it.

    ntpMerlin AGH is breaking ntpmerlin

    Sorry to dig up this old thread, but nearly 2 years later is there a definitive solution to this AdGuard Home + Unbound + ntpMerlin issue? My setup has been running stable for nearly a year with AdGuard Home + Unbound. Recently I added ntpMerlin to the setup (just curious) and the result was...

    Dual WAN + Dual Firewall

    What if I were to run the router as a subnet router? Would I be able to use "any of the advanced features" of pfSense? Also, curious if anyone knows whether the VLANs with the 3.0.0.6 firmware work only in router mode, or in AP mode as well? If I run AiMesh, do the the VLANs translate to other...

    Dual WAN + Dual Firewall

    I'm not sure how to do that. The previous version was what ChatGPT spit out lol. If it's not too much trouble, could I ask you to do one for me please.
