SOLVED.

I just noticed that on the newest 386.7_2 firmware, if I set 160MHz on the 5GHz band, it will initially use 160MHz but later reduce to 80MHz (I'm seeing this using WiFi Explorer on macOS). I know 160MHz is 99% unnecessary, I just want to know if this is the intended behavior with this new...

Hi, I have an ASUS mesh network system -- two RT-AC3100s running the latest Merlin and AIMesh. I'm using SmartConnect to have a single SSID for both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz, connecting to the best node in the mesh network. While I'm running Merlin, I think this is a more general question, so I'm...

Hello community! I'm experiencing a weird and annoying issue. I hope that I'll find some help here. Since I don't know the cause of my issue, I'm posting this one in the VPN section of the forum. Environment: Asus RT-AC86u Router Asus WRT Merlin 386.7_2 amtm 3.3 Skynet 7.2.8 (only script...

It seems like this is simple as there's nothing on the net about it, but I just can't seem to make it work. I'm trying to route all my ax86s internet traffic through the vpn (proton) aside from the iot devices that won't connect from behind it (although if there's a way to do that it would...

Hello I seem to be having a pairing issue with my lifx sting lights when using Merlin FW. Has happened for a few releases now, I was able to get it to pair a while back but idk what FW# that was. I have a separate 2.4Ghz network with all the settings where they should be for maximum...

Hi All. I have my own VPS with ShadowSocks server installed on it. So my question: is it possible to install client only part on Merlin? The only solution I have found here looks like a transparent proxy only (ss-redir) but I want just SOCKS5 proxy on a specific port of my router to be used...

Something peculiar happens with my router running Merlin. I may have found a Merlin bug. While connected to a local network via OpenVPN server running on this Asus AC87U, I can access several devices via their ports as IPX: Port1, IPX: Port2, etc. (where IPX = a generic local IP as...

Hello :wave: As the title eludes to - is it possible to setup multiple OpenVPN clients (up to 5) and then select a device to route through the VPNs, but have it dynamically select whichever VPN is the fastest? So if for example, if the VPN you are connected with fails entirely or is very slow...

Router: RT-AC88U Firmware: 386.5_2 I found this little issue when checking spdMerlin's log. AutoBW report - Fri Jun 10 10:12:48 2022 Calculated Download speed (31562 Kbps) does not exceed 10% threshold of existing value (31659 Kbps) Calculated Upload speed (17379 Kbps) does not exceed 10%...

Hi guys and gals, I'm currently with a broadband provider that offers IPv4 via CGNAT. Because of this I can't use port forwarding and have my Asus RT-AX88U (running the latest Merlin) configured to use Native IPv6. This works well for almost all normal daily internet usage and I can externally...

In this thread I am attempting to list my various settings with the hopes of either confirming this is the right set up, or discovering where I might have messed something up. The goal here is to have a primary and backup Pihole, running unbound that will filter all dns traffic via IPv4 and...

Hello, I was looking to buy either an ASUS RT-AX58U (AX3000) or the newer GS-AX3000. The GS version has the same hardware as the RT version, just with a different firmware build, which reviews say is more responsive and includes more features (cite: Dong Knows Tech). However, I do not see...

I started out with a several questions. In writing this post, I answered a couple of them myself. The remaining question is; Am I creating an IP conflict by having the same IP in both configurations: dnsmasq.conf.add and DHCP servers tab? I have about a dozen manually assigned IPs using the...

Anybody that knows what Link Aggregation (802.3ad) is might be asking why would you want to do that with only 1 cable? Isn't that defeating the purpose? And you'd be right. But I have a unique problem. Here's the issue. I have a Netgear CM1100 cable modem which has 2 Ethernet ports to support...

Hello, New to this forum! A lot of interesting guides and tutorials, thank you! Recently bought someone AT-AX86U and been helping him setup etc. I am currently using Draytek 2765ac and looking to replace it with Asus because of Merlin’s firmware customisation. I can only see 3 DSL/vDSL routers...

Hey all! Am relatively new to custom firmwares etc and seeing the power that routers can have. I just got the Asus GT-AX6000 to replace my Netgear R7800. Wanted WiFi6 and slightly better hardware. I'll be using WiFi to connect pretty much everything (Besides a philips Hue bridge and an old NAS...

Hello team! Total noob here so please forgive me if I say something stupid :rolleyes: I've been running OpenVPN Klient from NordVPN on my Asus GT-AX11000 router for some time now and keep getting latency issues randomly but regularly - simple pings to google.com dropping, for example, response...

Hi, you all amazing and always super helpful forum members. I truly hope this message finds you all well and in great health. I was away for quite some time now, but I am back. Got a pretty great deal on Asus RT-AX86U, so I grabbed it. Everything is pretty smooth sailing, except I've noticed...

Hi All, while investigating some issues with my PPPoE connection it seems that I've to configure the Host-Uniq tag to a specific value. The value I should provide is 1ced6f301223aaaaaaaa04000000aaaaaaaa4621426f78202020aaaaaaaa which seems to be incompatible with Asus WRT Merlin (tested on...
