Just noticed that a device I have manually assigned in the Manually Assigned IP around the DHCP list isn't using the assigned IP, even though MAC address is right... Looked at assigned DHCP IP addresses under system log and noticed this one device on "wrong" IP-address compared to what I have...

When should you use "--dns”? How does it function differently than “dhcp-option”? Is its implementation vpn provider-specific? When you use --dns server n transport DoT does it magically encrypt any DNS queries routed over the tunnel, or what actually happens? I use “--dhcp-option” all the...

Is there a way to see a listing of all IP leases the routers DHCP server has currently distributed? Active or passive at the moment, but valid within the lease time. (Default lease time is 86400 seconds = 1 day) I at least would like to monitor every now and then that no unwanted MAC's and...

Hi, I've set up some host names in the "Manually Assigned IP around the DHCP list" in the LAN -> DHCP Server tab. I use it to connect to various services on my network, mainly for testing servers locally. Once I get it to start working, it works fine for a few days, but then I get connection...

Hi All, I have an AC-86U which has been running happily on my 1Gb up/down FTTP service for a couple of years using PPPoE. My ISP recently informed me that they've switched to DHCP, and will be turning off PPPoE next month. No big deal I thought. So I went into the WAN settings and changed...

Hello everyone, I'm facing a peculiar issue with my ASUS RT-AX88U Pro router (192.168.1.254). The DHCP server is set to distribute IP addresses between 192.168.1.155 and 192.168.1.195. While wired connections respect this range, wireless connections receive completely random IPs in the...

Hi all, First time posting, but been reading the forum for years now, but never had anything to contribute myself. Long story short, I've been dealing with an issue with periodic disconnects of my WAN connection for over 6 months or more. I've gone through the complete cycle of diagnosis with...

Hello! At my wits end with an issue, hoping somewhere here can provide some insight. Issue: My WAN port is going down roughly once a day at various times. Temporary fix: Connect a computer to the WAN port and run dhcp release and renew commands, then reconnect the WAN port back to the modem...

Hi, I have a serious question! Why APIPA alway start with 169? Why it doesn't start with 120 or 195 or something like that? What is the matmatical purpose behind it? Thanks

RT-AC86u • Merlin 386.12_4 • AMTM 4.1 • Diversion 5.0 • Skynet • ScMerlin I’m having an issue with my Apple TV. It started sometime after installing 386.12_4 (but I can’t say for sure that the issue related to that, or merely coincidence. I don’t think it began immediately after that...

Hello I have a small problem with connecting two routers via VPN. One of them is located at my house and the other at a friend's house. We both have a fiber connection with a public ip. The colleague rents his house to other people and for security purposes he has surveillance installed there...

I want to use host names instead of IP addresses. From what I learned about this, I configured like these: I access to router's UI using "router.local" just fine. I assigned "192.168.1.210" with "pihole.local" but it does not work. Not sure if it is related but Pihole is a docker container...
