merlin

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...

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...

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...

Hey, My current set up is 2x XT12 and 2x XT9 running in AiMesh. Main router is XT12. XT12's run latest @RMerlin firmware, the XT9's on the lates stock firmware as unfortunately no Merlin support. Everything has been rock solid and works well. My network has been expanding to the point at which...

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...

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...

Hello SNB community. I've been a long time lurker absorbing network advice for over 10 years from SNB and every time I get close to updating my network, I come here to get the latest and greatest advice. I've been a long time user of ASUS hardware and do want to stay with ASUS if I can, since...

hello, my ISP provides ONLY ipv4 but I need ipv6 for work and home IOT. So I: - bought RPI5 housing with public ipv4/32 and ipv6/64 - setup wireguard on RPI5 - updated my rt-ax88u to merlin (3004.388.8) - setup WG client on merlin - resolved router restart wireguard conn persistence (nightmare)...

Hi all, So I was testing if Diversion was working and noticed that even though I've Google as DNS: Firefox on my laptop is resolving to Cloudflare? DNS over HTTP is also Off (I've already turned it off and on and it doesn't change the Status nor the results: DHCP > DNS Settings also...

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...

Dobrý den. Chci se zeptat rad bych nainstaloval do svého wifi routeru system merlin.Prosím kde seženu návod? Nikdy jsem to nedělal.

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...

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...

Hi, So I’ve done some digging to the best of my abilities, but I can’t fix the problem so here I am. Ever since I hooked up my new router (RT-BE86U running the latest merlin) my previous one (RT-AX86U running the latest merlin) has been placed upstairs as a wired backhaul AI mesh. My router...

Hi, I recently decided to try DNS Director after I found an astonishing number of IoT things circumventing my piholes (plural). I think I have it configured correctly, but my devices that are configured to use the second pihole in DNS director are still using the main pihole advertised in the...

Hi all, On my RT-AX86U Pro I have samba and OpenVPN set up. I can access samba shares locally and when not at home, I can just connect with OpenVPN to my router and browse files on samba shares. So far so good. I have been researching Nextcloud for some time, as an improvement to my set up. I...

Hello, This is my first post here. I had a ASUS GT-AX6000 wifi router for a few years which worked excellent. I recently moved to a new place in which the single access point cannot cover the premises. So I figured that I needed one more ASUS GT-AX6000 to extend the wifi coverage and that...

Hi All So I've downloaded the RT-AX86U_PRO_3004_388.8_4 firmware (I'm on RT-AX86U_PRO_3004_388.8_2 and saw there was an update available) Running a MD5 checksum either from my portable apps, or online, doesn't give a match for the sha256sum.sha.256 value in the zip; namely MD5 from app/online...

When I try to log into the Astrill applet on the router with iPhone, the entire page is blank, but there’s no issue when doing it on my computer. My WIFI is ASUS BE-86U Merlin3006.102.2_beta1. Does anyone know how to fix it?

For the past few years I have been blessed with an ISP that did not often change my dynamic IP address. Maybe 1x per year if that. However times change and the new owners have different methods. It now appears to be about once per month. Thus I have turned on DDNS using the default...
