All: This morning, I found my Internet was down. I tried logging into the Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 WebUI, but after logging in the default Network Map page won't load. I was able to ssh into the the Asuswrt-Merlin router to perform a service restart_wan, which brought the Internet back online...

Guys, I'm trying to resolve issue with my ISP, around 9300 routing rules should be implemented in order to get pure internet without any blocks. As I understood - this thing is being called "split tunneling" and router could do this by routing requests to ~9300 ipset subnetworks to external...

All: I've been successfully using NFS v3 without File Locking for quite some time. I've reached a point where I need to in institute NSM (statd) & NLM (lockd). I've noticed that statd and lockd are running on the Primary Router (NFS v3 Server). However, when I attempt to remotely mount the...

All: On my primary router, I've run into an issue where cfg_server child processes die, become defunct, grow to 15 - 20 zombie processes, consume all of my available RAM, and cause the primary router to start swapping. Once the primary router starts swapping, the load-average starts...

Hi guys! So I have an AX86S as the main unit and an AC68U as a mesh node. Basically when I'm connected to the AX, I CAN NOT ping (even using IP address) the nodes that are connected to the AC (getting 17 nodes via LAN-scan). When I'm connected to the AC, then I CAN ping all nodes (either...

I recently posted a related thread on SuperUser, but thought I'd post a modified version here to get advice specific to Asuswrt-Merlin. I'm planning to install a home surveillance system consisting of 7 PoE cameras recording 24/7 to my HTPC. I figured since my HTPC stays on 24/7, there's no...

Hi there, I'm a new member to this forum. I have a weird problem with an AC-68U router running Asuswrt Merlin. The router was previously part of an AiMesh system. The main router is an AX-58U running Asuswrt Merlin 386.2_2 (router A). Until yesterday the AC-68U router has been working well in...

Hi, I have the AX88U and from a long time i watch that the cpu number one always runs at 100%. Recently, I upgraded to the version 384.17 of Asuswrt-Merlin and have the same problem. With top I see that the problem is the process "skb_free_task". I try to kill it but doesn't die. How can I fix it?

I got interested in DNSSEC and want to enable it on my Asus AC88U router running Asuswrt-Merlin 384.15. But as I understand the DNS hosting provider has also to support it. I am using OpenDNS server and few days ago they announced that they will start supporting DNSSEC in this blog post: DNSSEC...

I have a question that I am hoping someone here can answer. I have a Asus RT-88U router with asuswrt-merlin installed. I am interested in knowing if the VPN feature would still be working if connected to a USB 4G modem, and not a wired broadband? Basically switching from a normal broadband to a...

Hi all, I've got a TUN OpenVPN Server running fine on my RT-AC86U with Merlin 384.13. But I have a problem when specifying the DNS servers my VPN clients should use. For example: router IP is 192.168.1.1, primary DNS server is 192.168.1.2. I want my VPN clients to use the primary DNS server...

Okay, So I have added all my "stationary" devices to this list. When I mean stationary, I mean devices that never move or change location. I feel as though there is no real need or added benefit to allowing these devices to be roamed between nodes. I am starting this thread to see if any one...
