rt ac86u

Hi, I have been running 386.2_4 on my AC86U for around a week with no issues. Then suddenly last night around 11:30pm it crashed and rebooted. Proceeded to do this a further 4 times over an hour period. Seemed to be fine overnight but it has just happened again. I have looked at the System Log...

I have an Asus RT-AC68U. I'm experimenting with antenna direction and replacement. I hate to ask a dumb question, but what is the best placement for the three antennas? Angle the two outside antennas at about 45 degrees parallel to the router and let the middle antenna stand straight up? And to...

Hi guys, is there a command to get a list of all clients including the offline ones? I know there's a dnsmasq lease file for active clients, but can't find anything for the hosts and MAC addresses that connected to the network but went offline.

Hi all after years on official firmware, I decided to jump to Merlin and overall it seems better and more responsive (and definitely more updated!). I do have a question though: I have on the router the OpenVPN server turned ON as sometimes I need to access my LAN and access internet through...

Is there a way to set up the guest network to use PiHole as its DNS when it is set to block Access to Intranet? I tried the following: LAN > DHCP Server > DNS Server 1 - Set PiHole IP Result: Works for wireless AP and ports directly connected to Internet, but doesn't work on the Guest Wifi. I'm...

It is convenient to be able to add a list DHCP reservations from the CLI (Telnet / SSH). The NVRAM variable: dhcp_staticlist stores dhcp static leases: <MAC_Addresses> LAN_IPs>hostnames< for example: <B8:27:EB:F6:55:55>192.168.8.6>rapsberrypi< nvram show dhcp_staticlist An example for...

I am about to get a 6TB drive. According to the compatibility chart, only up to 4TB EXT4 partitions are supported. So I assume I should format it with 4+2TB EXT4 partitions, and then share that out via Samba so Windows clients can use it like a network share.. Is there anything I should know...

Just updated my RT-AC68U to 384.5 merlin firmware and noticed that my 100Mbps down speed is now merely 35Mbps. Direct connection to cable modem shows 100mbs down speeds no issue. started trouble shooting the router, turning off VPN server and client and rebooting brought up the down speeds to...

Long time reader, first time poster. I keep running into an issue with my VPN tunnel to PIA. It seems like the tunnel will drop (and need to be manually restarted) at least every other day. Is there a setting I should be using to help keep the tunnel up longer, or is there a way I can set the...

In the past I've always had a rule that I replace my router every 3 years. Well I've had my RT-AC68U (A1) for four years next week and it still works well. I'm considering the RT-AC86U. I don't use the VPN capabilities or anything, but I do have a lot of devices in the house; 20-30 at any...
