    [384.14_Alpha - builds] Testing all variants.

    Regarding DHCP - here is my console log. I don't know how to use the "sort" on the DHCP table. Please disregard this post if the problem is solved.

    [384.14_Alpha - builds] Testing all variants.

    Relatedly, I'm using 384.13 on RT-AC86U. If you click on "View List" to see network clients or click on the DHCP Server tab on Edge, Firefox or Chrome, the lists will show for about a few milliseconds and blanks out and returns to the sign-in / logon screen. I am no longer to enter any static...

    Cascade Two Routers for IOT devices and Home Network Questions

    @CaptainSTX kindly sent me a PM with complete instructions. You may be right in terms of over-thinking it. I look forward to giving it a try with @CaptainSTX's instructions. It seems like a great way to meet my needs without a lot of complexity.

    Cascade Two Routers for IOT devices and Home Network Questions

    I’m looking for help to fully understand how to implement this recommendation and have Googled all kinds of information on cascading routers but don’t fully understand everything. Here is what I think I need to do: IOT Router #1 – 192.168.1.1 use DHCP with a static address for Home Network...

    Does guest networks run on different channel than the main router?

    So - Xfinity Bridged Modem to Router #1 (IOT) to Router #2 (Home PCs - Local Network) I understand how to isolate the wireless devices on router #1. Can I also use the ethernet ports on Router #1 for wired IOT devices as well as I think I can use static IPs and turn off intranet access within...

    Does guest networks run on different channel than the main router?

    Thanks for the response. Your information got me to look into security of IOT (internet of things). Oh goodness - there's a lot to learn! As I thought about it, I have way more devices than I originally thought with internet access that I hadn't even thought about. Your idea works for some...

    Does guest networks run on different channel than the main router?

    Can you explain how to configure devices with the Merlin firmware for the "Home Automation" method you are using? I'm using the Amazon Echo along with a Universal Devices ISY994i to control my lighting and many other things. How can I keep the Echo (and other similar devices off my intranet...

    AiMesh stability issues - worth keeping?

    I have an 86U as my main router and RT-68U and Netgear routers setup as access points via ethernet back to the 86U. I have each of these set to different frequencies of 2.4 and 5 GHz and use the same SSID (SSID_2G, SSID_5G) for all of them. There is only one guest network which is from the...

    Wireless Devices Showing As Wired

    You probably should have asked about this in the 384.4 thread. On the other hand, you probably would have been severely chastised for asking this question as it has been answered repeatedly in many threads (and Merlin appears to be getting quite irritated that people don't try to do a search...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    When I moved to Beta 3 from a previous stable build, my VPN rules don’t seem to work correctly anymore. I set up my entire internal network to default to the VPN in the VPN Client rules with all devices 192.168.1.0/24, dest 0.0.0.0 interface VPN. I then exclude 10 clients individually (name...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    Thanks for mentioning this about SMB v2. I had the same problem mentioned earlier in the thread (Network sharing via Windows Explorer on my home network) when I disabled SMB v1. Thank you for the clarification / explanation.

    -OpenVPN - Can I chose which SSID gets VPN and which gets direct connection?

    I'm using an Asus RT-AC68U with Merlin firmware in a very large home and this would definitely meet your budget. I'm using Torguard as my VPN (I tried PIA but Torguard seemed to work better for me). I approached what I think you are trying to achieve a little bit differently. I have a regular...

    Lost wireless access to internet for no reason - 380.68_2

    I followed your instructions and manually reconfigured everything after a factory default and now it all works fine. Pain in the butt to reconfigure and update everything but it did fix it - so I'm happy. Thank you very much for your assistance!

    Lost wireless access to internet for no reason - 380.68_2

    My wireless clients all lost access to the internet with firmware 380.68_2. Everything up until that point was working fine (I have been using 380.68_2 since it was released on my ASUS RT-AC68U) and then wireless internet access was suddenly no longer possible. The wireless network was...

    Can't save router settings - how can I fix?

    I checked the applications settings and couldn't find an enabled always setting for that file extension so I reset Firefox to the defaults. Everything now works with Firefox. Thanks!
