    YazFi YazFi not routing guest through ISP

    Hey guys I hope this is the right sub-forum to post this. I have a RT-AC86U with latest merlin and I just SSH'd into my router and ran the command to install YazFi. I'm quite new to routers and things like this and I was under the impression I could run guest networks through my normal ISP...

    network structure with AX58U, AC86U, AC68U, wireguard, TMobile 280mb/40mb internet, MQTT broker, ad blocker

    I am trying to restructure my network and looking for some advice/experience.

LAN has around 30 devices on it, WLAN has around 60...

    RT-AC68U with 386.7_2 – – – – – – I noticed that port forwarding stops working after a few hours on my RT-AC68U router using Merlin v386.7_2. This is whether the port forwarding is activated automatically via UPnP or manually. I tried both. Same result. UPnP auto redirection is activated on...

    Router Certificate > “Enable full trust for root certificate”

    Please, can anyone point me to a resource that explains what this, (“enable full trust for root certificate”), does? Thank you. Edit: this question may be specific to iOS; I had installed the certificate a long time ago and it functions as expected/designed — but recently I saw this (new?)...

    Tutorial Give your Merlin some senses!

    Hi. I found a Yocto-Buzzer in my garage. I decided to give it a try with my RT-AX88U and it works! Basically this is an external programmable USB module that lets you add a buzzer, two LEDs, and even two analog inputs to your ASUS-Merlin. My programming capabilities are extremely limited but...

    Best VPN service provider for use as Router-based Wireguard client

    My router (RT-AC86U) runs asuswrt-Merlin, if that matters to anyone… been a PIA person forever, but they don’t support router-based configurations for Wireguard, and the workarounds that I know of aren’t that enticing (requiring constant tweaks, etc., just to under-deliver) it’s that time of...

    Can I use crontab to switch VPN clients on a schedule?

    Hello! I am enjoying my RT-AC86U with Merlin. I have a question - I use a VPN provider which has many servers, and I have different VPN clients set up in the router for some particular servers. Manually I can turn each one on, or off; or select it to start up when rebooting. And I schedule a...

    AX86U on 386.7_2: Wireless falling back to 80MHz even if I set 160MHz?

    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...

    VPN for rule for all traffic in MerlinVPN Director
