    How to fix ssh host key not a multiple of 256

    The above worked and I had to restart the router for it to take effect. Seems I have been using host keys that were fairly old.. back from 2018. Looks like the default sizes from back then were not what they are today. These are the sizes of the old keys: dropbear_dss_host_key 1024...

    WiFi repeater with FW/DHCP/different SSID? possible?

    Excuse the question if it's been asked here before, but I can't find anything about this here or somewhere else. I've been using asuswrt-merlinn for sometime, but can't find the settings for this any place. I've seen other devices do this (Dlink DIR-505L and other travel routers; no I'm not...
