    DIAGRAM UPDATED Apple devices cannot connect to an ASUS RT-AC66U configured as a repeater when set to use DHCP-assigned IP addresses - they can only connect when using statically-defined IP address settings (IP, mask, router IP & DNS). Why is this not working with DHCP-assigned IPs for Apple...

    RT-AC68U 386.2_6 - WAN_Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly with TekSavvy / Cogeco cable

    There are many threads about this issue already on snb, for example this one.

If anyone is not familiar with this...

    DHCP reservations limit

    Hi all, Just migrated to Merlin from stock; love it as usual! Having a RT-AX86U it says on the DHCP page "RT-AX86U supports up to 253 IP addresses for your local network." I can only reserve 64 addresses? Did I misunderstand the 253 IP addresses statement? Or is this a misbehaviour from my...
