Would like to suggest a poll for non-supported gear. For instance I have a RT-AC86U with another as backup (both bought used very cheaply). Understand this unit is no longer supported by Asuswrt-Merlin but these are just too solid to throw away. I do not know what other gear people are keeping...

RT-AC86U Firmware 386.14_2 My test setup is laptop > RT-AC86U > modem/router (DHCP and ipv6 enabled) > WAN My ISP is using PPoE so I set the RT-AC86U as PPoE and ipv6 as Native. Tested with google ipv6 test and result returned negative so only ipv4 is active. I connect my laptop directly to the...

My Asus RT-AC86U with firmware 386.14_2 has been so solid that I have not needed to make any changes for a long time save to login to take a look from time to time. I have always bridged my generic modem/router and put my Asus in router mode. I now have a temporary need to put my modem/router...

Hi, yes I am still using RT-AC86U and probably will flog it until I really need new tech. I have just uninstalled Diversion and left Entware and YazDHCP untouched. I was wondering if I can safely remove the USB2 drive? Without Diversion I don't think it is necessary anymore but I don't really...

Have a decommissioned Sonicwall TZ400 from work and been sitting in my cupboard. I am familiar with Sophos and have pfsense installed but TZ400 looks like a different animal. Can't find anywhere whether TZ400 can be installed with any linux firewall. Have you come across if this is possible?

I have had a very good run with RT-AC86U. Sad that it will be classified as limited support from Dec 24. I hope I can still use it with the final firmware until I buy another ASUS router that runs with Merlin. I have used many different brands of modem/routers and routers and this unit is my...

Seeking advice from this forum about what is a good approach to my RAID setup. As of now, I have the following: 1) Brand new Netgear RN316 (6-bay) with 4x 3TB and 2x4TB disks 2) 2nd hand Netgear RN104 (4-bay) with 4x 3TB disks 3) 2nd hand Netgear RN102 (2-bay) with 2x 2TB disks 4) 2nd hand...

My DHCP IP pool starts from 192.168.1.200 to 254. I manually assign IP addresses to known devices up to 192.168.1.199. So any unknown devices including guests will be assigned with IP 192.168.1.200 and above. Is it possible to use firewall to block IP range 192.168.1.200-254?

Was just looking at my settings and noted the limit is 176? Last time I checked was 128. How did that happened? Note that I am not complaining but just curious.

Ok this is hard for me to explain but I will try. My network is not setup like below but I wonder if it will work. Interested to know if Device 1 can access the webgui of the Linksys router? No particular reason for this other than experimenting. Think this double-natting?

Ok, I just bought 2 used RT-AC86U in good looking condition and have installed the latest Merlin, Diversion, swap file and YazDHCP. When I installed Diversion I have been prompted to insert a USB storage and since I have a well used USB2.0 8GB Verbatim stick on my desk I used that. Everything is...

AT the moment my RT-AC86U with Merlin 386_7, Diversion Standard and YazDHCP is running at 81% or 413mb memory usage. AI Protection uses 82mb and Diversion uses 19mb. Disabling both AI Prortection and Diversion while keeping YazDHCP, my memory usage is 315mb or 61%. Ai Protection and Diversion...

I enabled IPv6 under Advanced Setting/IPv6 as passthrough (and on my modem as well). Confirmed I have ipv6 connections using broswer test. However, under Advanced Setting/System Log/IPv6 it says IPv6 Connection Type as Disabled. Trying to find out why that is.

I read somewhere that YazDHCP can be installed without AMTM but is it better to install YazDHCP via AMTM interface. Is that right?

Hi, a quick question. If I install Asuswrt Merlin next new release will it overwrite settings I have done with YazDCHP?

Hello, I am looking for an ASUS home router with at least 128 manually assigned IPs - "Manually Assigned IP around the DHCP list (Max Limit : 128)". I found out that RT-AC86U started with 128 but a firmware update reduced it to 64. I am hoping not to use custom scripts as I am not very tech...
