    Hi everyone, I’ve encountered a strange issue after configuring static ARP binding on my device: The bound device is not actually connected — I’ve confirmed this via SSH (checking the connection list and DHCP leases). However, the WebUI briefly shows the device as “wired connected” even...

    RT-AX86U running Merlin serving DNS - possible Malware infection

    I've just become aware that my Asus RT-AX86U which is running the latest Merlin firmware (3004.388.9) might be compromised. Potentially by TheMoon malware or Alogin. I was made aware that port 53 is open, however, I don't have any port forwards enabled for 53 so I can't see why it would be...

    DNS Issue with Static IP

    I've got a Sonos Five speaker which seems to have a static IP address. Sonos support assure me this should not be static. I have not reserved this and can't seem to force a new IP for this device. I have tried to manually assign a new IP to this, but it will not work. There is an issue with...

    VLAN and SDN index/bridge index number questions - how are they decided?

    Hi, I have a BE88U with merlin 3006.102 and I have created a guest VLAN with DHCP. The system assigned it SDN index 5 (as I have `dnsmasq-5.conf`) and bridge device `br56`. I would like some clarifications on how these numbers are decided so I can write reliable scripts to operate on this...

    How to limit upload and download bandwidth of a ethernet port?

    I searched a bit and asked ChatGPT, it seems like I can limit egress (client upload) rate with `tc` command, but I cannot limit ingress (client download) without ifb, which isn't included in the firmware. Anyone can provide some pointers on how to achieve port based upload and download limits...

    Execute script after DHCPv6 lease renewal?

    Is there a simple way to execute a script after odhcp6c client renews its lease? Reason I ask this is because I have a ULA range setup in my network and every time odhcp6c renews its lease my ULA prefix on br0 gets cleared. This renew does not appear to trigger any user scripts. I know that...

    BE88U: Remove hidden wireless networks?

    Just bought a new BE88U and running merlin 3006.102.3 in Router mode. When scanning I found it is broadcasting 2 hidden networks in addition to what I configured, and I can't find a way to get rid of them. They might be related to interfaces wl0.4 and wl1.4, and I tried removing related entries...

    ASUS Merlin + Nextcloud + DDNS

    It all started with LastPass. LastPass had a security breach. That's not cool. All right, I'll move to Keeper, I get that for free - but I have to use my work email address, which means the browser plugin will sometimes replace username fields with my work email. I don't want website...

    Solved NextDNS stock asuswrt vs Merlin, caching difference?

    Hi, previously I was running RT-AC86U with Merlin, and was using nextdns cli. I could quite easily fit my month DNS usage into the free 300000 monthly limit of NextDNS so I didn't need a paid plan. Half way of November I updated my router to RT-BE86U. I'm currently running stock AsusWRT, which...

    Router performing crippling "DNSKEY" look-ups out of the blue

    Hi, Sometimes, out of nowhere as I really cannot put a clock or any preceding event to it, the router suddenly starts sending out thousands of queries for "." (without quotes, so literally just a dot). The type is "DNSKEY, plain DNS" and, probably due to the sheer volume of them (we're talking...
