    Solved Can't unblock Reddit

    Solution was to disable URL filter even though there were no URL filter entries. Something to do with the DNS block on the domain but I don't know why. Blocking outbound DNS would add a firewall filter for inbound IP, but I'm not a network operator or familiar with Merlin. Thanks for the help...

    VoIP + Asus RT-AX86U + Grandstream HT801 + SIP ALG

    My VoIP was working fine a few months ago, with the Grandstream HT801, Starlink, Andrews & Arnold service in the UK. However, over the weekend, I discovered that it's no longer working. There is no voice in either direction. You can call the phone and it rings, but the call is dead. Same in the...

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    TL;DR: My WiFi internet speed is way faster than my WiFi LAN speeds. Why? Answer: It's because using samba to transfer a file between two computers, the AX86U's single 5GHz radio both receives and sends data at the same time - so bidirectional traffic. This saturates the radio, effectively...
