    What's the latest on QoS in 386.2?

    I have a RT-AC68 at my parents place running 386.2. The have a 30/4 cable connection with two TV's running 24/7 (like old people do) and use a remarkable amount of data (1.5Tb/month). Their connection seems perfectly sized for them and they have no issues. They probably don't need QoS, but...

    DNS-over-QUIC

    As I understand it, RMerlin likes DoT, and dislikes DoH. Thoughts on DNS-over-QUIC?

    DoT vs. DoH

    I understand why RMerlin doens't like DoH as a network admin. I also understand why Google and Firefox use DoH, not because it's better, but simply because a browser can't use DoT. What I didn't realize that DoT was lower latency, making me rethink using DoH. I wonder why NextDNS chose DoH...

    Asus Merlin - Is there a development road map?

    Hello - long time user. Was wondering if there's any kind of development road map for the Asus Merlin firmware? I understand that a lot of it is is response to Asus releases, but I am sure there are thing on Merlin's "to do list" but I can't find it published anywhere.

    Can I Install Merlin Remotely?

    My previous thread, with the same name, was closed without explanation. The question was can I remotely flash router from stock to Merlin. The use case was I have an RT-AC68U at my moms and had been running stock because I had no real need for any of the Merlin tweaks until he implemented DoT...

    Dead Link

    Not sure if this is a Merlin thing or an Asus (or both) but... The link WAN/LAN Bandwidth Monitor FAQ at //AdaptiveQoS_Bandwidth_Monitor.asp is a dead link.

    Anyone have a router with ZWDFS?

    Seems like a really intriguing technology... to use otherwise “illegal” bands apparently with some kind of test for interference? Presumably it’s legal? Wirecutter says it’s sketchy, Amazon users seem to like it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can I install Merlin remotely?

    I have an RT-AC68 at my moms. It's up to date on stock firmware and I always do the updates remotely without a hitch so I was wondering if Asuswrt-Merlin would be any different?

    Google Wifi Questions

    I have an RT-AC68 that's unable to cover the home. In fact, it literally can't get a good signal one room over so I am assuming there has to be chicken wire in the walls or something? Anyway... I am thinking of going Google Wifi and have some questions. In my setup I would have a Google Wifi...

    "Enable Firewall"

    It's my understanding that the only "firewall" provided by Asus Routers is the inherent protection provided by NAT. So what exactly does the "Enable Firewall" button do?

    "Repeater Mode" / Antenna Question

    Trying to use my RT-AC68U in repeater mode to pick up a nearby signal. Bought this external antenna to and enough cable to put it outside my window: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CFATNS/?tag=snbforums-20 My question is: Are all the antennas on top of the RT-AC68U the same? Can I...

    USB MODEM BUG?

    Tried using my RT-AC68U with a Sprint "Pocket Wi-Fi" (ZTE MF975S). WHy would I do that you ask? Because the MF975S is limited to ten Wi-Fi devices and I have more. The "bug" I think I saw is throughput: http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6136858171 As you can see, download is weirdly slow...

    SIP ALG

    My VoIP vendor swears up and down that all the problems we are having are caused by SIP ALG not being disabled in my router. While it definitely is turned off I am wondering if it's possible that the switch is broken, that i just think it's off but it really isn't. Is there anyway to confirm...

    SIP Helper

    What's the status of the SIP passthrough and "NAT Helper"? Does it work? My VoIP provider says they generally are broken and don't help and should be turned off?

    Does Dual WAN Work? With QoS?

    Hi I've asked this before and I don't think I ever got an answer. I am thinking of adding an additional WAN line but it's kind of pointless of the dual WAN feature doesn't work that well (or at all). I remember reading at one point it was broken from Asus? I am using the line for 20 VoIP...

    Dual WAN: Does it work with QoS?

    Posted this before, but no one (including Merlin) answered. Does this work? Was thinking of load balancing. Will it work with VoIP?

    VoIP Strategies

    Hello everyone - I have the unusual challenge of making SIP VoIP work for a small business on extremely limited bandwidth... 20ish users on a 12/1 DSL line. I'm using an RT-AC68U with 380.61. In my reading, it's my understanding that "traditional QoS" has been broken for a while, so I'm using...
