Double NAT - DHCP Option 61 without merlin?

[thewizard1241]

Hi,

So i recently bought an AX86u and ran a double NAT, but long story short, running double NAT gives latency spikes and issues over wireless. I tested this using a dslac68u connected to the AX86u. To confirm it wasnt the AX86u, i connected my ISP's modem to the DSLAC68u, and the same results consistently.

The issue is, my ISP Requires DHCP Option 61 on the router, which i know merlin firmware supports. However as ofc we dont know if the AX86u will merlin firmware at all, i was wondering if there was any way possible to just enable DHCP Client option 61 within the AX86u. Like any command i could use by SSHing or something?

My plan is to use a draytek vigor modem in bridge mode, then use option 61 on the AX86u


Cheers

See the Wiki for adding dnsmasq options to
/jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add

Such as dhcp-option=lan,61,your-client-id-here

Thank you! Does this require merlin firmware though or can it be used stock? Sorry im new to this

I missed that bit! Yes @thewizard1241 it requires Merlin. Perhaps post in the non Merlin forums next time
