    YazDHCP YazDHCP v1.2.0 [2025-Oct-12] - Feature expansion of DHCP assignments (increasing limit on the number of DHCP reservations)

    BTW, Asus implemented importing and exporting of DHCP reservations in 3006.102_40xxx. That's not mainstreamed yet, but I might evaluate if it can be backported.

    Difficulties with attempts to flash Merlin on a new ROG GT-AX11000 Pro

    Only if you intend to make full use of the specs supported by that Cat8 cable. If you use a Cat8 cable to carry an Ethernet signal that would fit within the Cat6 specifications (Gigabit traffic under 300' for example), then there's no reason a Cat8 would work worse, regardless of the switch and...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.10 is now available

    What it tells you is the location of the tables that contains the list of bad sectors, not that a bad sector was detected. Bad sectors are very common in NAND, that's why they have tables where these blocks are noted, and any bad sector is remapped to a spare sector.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.10 is now available

    If even a multi-million dollars space shuttle can have hardware failures, then so does a premium router. Technology isn't immune to failures no matter how expensive it is. Have you tried an electrical reset? Unplug the power (while keeping the router switch turned on. Wait about 5-10 secs...

    Router keeps generating its own certificate despite having Let's Encrypt after 3006.102.5 update

    libletsencrypt.so is closed source, so I don't touch anything related to it.

    [BUG Report] CAKE QoS - Upload shaping not working on RT-BE88U

    You need a pretty powerful CPU for any kind of traffic management at those rates. Think x86-class CPU. These embedded routers are able to route that traffic by taking shortcuts, and relying on hardware acceleration. Any traffic management requires these acceleration methods to be disabled...

    [BUG Report] CAKE QoS - Upload shaping not working on RT-BE88U

    Cake cannot handle above ~400 Mbps on even the fastest Asus router currently available. Also, Adaptive QoS currently doesn't do anything on any Wifi 7 device, it's still broken with no fix in sight from TrendMicro/Asus.

    [Preview] Work in Progress

    From what I understand, the Captive Portal must be handled by the client (as the router has no way of automatically handling the form itself). https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1051463/

    Asus Zenwifi ET9 to support merlin ?

    The only model currently on the roadmap is the RT-BE58_Go. For anything else - please refer to the FAQ.

    Why doesn't the OpenVPN client support adding a shadowsocks proxy to it by default?

    Because OpenVPN has absolutely nothing to do with Shadowsocks for starter? And because I'm not going to implement everyone's own personal favorite service just for the 0.05% of users that might want to use it. I have a lot of far more productive things to do that will be useful to a larger...

    As per my tests so far, OpenVPN performance is not very good (as expected), but WireGuard performance is excellent. Providers like ProtonVPN offer downloadable config files, while with NordVPN you would need to stick with the stock firmware and use their built-in NordVPN support.

    [Preview] Work in Progress

    Support was already implemented a few days ago as per my screenshot. It will still be better than what is offered by GL.inet's travel routers. That Beryl AX GL.Inet has a dual core 1.3 GHz CPU, they rate it for 120 Mbps in OpenVPN and 300 Mbps in Wireguard. The Asus RT-BE58_GO has a quad core...

    BQ16 - Is AFC fully working now?

    Based on recent source code, AFC support is currently only enabled in two GS-* models (I forgot which).

    BQ16 - Is AFC fully working now?

    That probably depend on the manufacturer. From what I gathered, Qualcomm is setup for Canada. No idea about Broadcom. https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/certification-engineering-bureau/en/list-of-designated-dynamic-spectrum-access-system-administrators
