    Can ExpertWiFi routers be used with non-ExpertWiFi routers in a mesh/AP scenario?

    Not sure where to put this question - As the title says, can ExpertWiFi routers be used with non-ExpertWiFi routers in a mesh/AP scenario, specifically, do I get the same level of integration as using two non-ExpertWiFi routers in a main/mesh or main/AP scenario? This would be for a...

    Asus RT-BE58 Go Review on STH

    I just bought one to use as an AP at my in-law's house. I'll be installing it in about a week.

    ASUS RT-BE58U

    I picked up an Amazon Resale BE58U that arrived today. I can get past the setup, but then I can't logon after that. It does not accept the wifi password (which is entirely numeric), and it keeps rebooting. Resetting it with the reset button and/or the WPS reset method gets me back to the...

    ASUS RT-BE58U

    I guess I'll toss out the comment that the now least expensive router with Merlin support is the RT-BE58_Go.

    Site-to-site OVPN - block specific IP range on server side from reaching client side?

    I tried unsuccessfully to post the Routing Table from the server side. I'll try again. I can and do routinely interact with devices across the VPN connection by using their local IP address. My primary desire is to prevent devices in a specific IP range on the server side from participating...

    Site-to-site OVPN - block specific IP range on server side from reaching client side?

    Before we continue with trying to configure OVPN to accomplish this, can I accomplish the same thing by using firewall-start IP tables on the client side which is a GT-AX6000 running Asusmerlin?

    Site-to-site OVPN - block specific IP range on server side from reaching client side?

    This relates to the question I asked a few days about about using firewall-start on stock firmware. Asusmerlin no longer supports the AC68U, but Asus keeps cranking up updated stock firmwares for the AC68U. The only feature that I really use for Asusmerlin on my AC68U is firewall-start to...

    Site-to-site OVPN - block specific IP range on server side from reaching client side?

    I have been using firewall-start to block a specific IP range on the server side of my site-to-site OVPN connections from reaching the client side. Is there a way to implement this directly in OVPN, either on the server side or client side configurations?

    ASUS RT-BE58U

    On the US Amazon site, the BE58U is among the highest rated ASUS routers. Only 7% 1-star reviews and 74% 5-star reviews. I think this beats all current ASUS BE routers. Whether it makes sense to purchase is another story. Currently $98 on US Amazon. Next cheapest ASUS BE is the BE86U going...

    RT-BE86U many 1-star reviews on Amazon

    I see your point in that most ASUS routers have approx 10% 1-star reviews, but the BE86U is up at 22% 1-star reviews. Maybe more people are trying the BE86U because its among the least expensive ASUS BE routers right now.

    RT-BE86U many 1-star reviews on Amazon

    There are a very large number of 1- and 2-star reviews on Amazon for the RT-BE86U. Lots of DOA and malfunctioning routers out-of-the box. However, I don't see many people complaining about it on this forum

    Update Merlin website to show which devices are compatible with Merlin 388 and 3006?

    Thanks. I looked right past it.

    Update Merlin website to show which devices are compatible with Merlin 388 and 3006?

    I was looking for a list of devices supporting Merlin 3006, and the only place I could find it was in the README-merlin.txt file. I couldn't find it anywhere obvious on the Merlin website.

    Is there a clear guide how to run custom scripts on Stock Firmware?

    I didn't know that, so definitely not running any firewall-start scripts on stock firmware. Thanks.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.6 Beta is now available

    No operational issues with beta2 on my GT-AX6000 main/AP combo. Site-to-site VPN to two remote locations, a bunch of manual DHCP entries, Guest Network Pro on default bridge, a few firewall-start scripts, DoT enabled. As usual, the Client List isn't 100% accurate, but it seems to be a little...

    Is there a clear guide how to run custom scripts on Stock Firmware?

    Anyone know if the most current 386 firmware still does not allow "firewall-start" to be customized?

    SDN - br ID vs vlan ID?

    I think for the guest network on the main and AP routers to work together, they both have to be on the same bridge. Everything works ok using the default settings (br52, VLAN 52, and subnet 52), but I would prefer to use a different VLAN/subnet ID. It would be good to know if there is a way to...

    Release ASUS RT-AC86U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_52294 (2025/10/28)

    Looks like other updates were made as well. I guess its easier to apply all updates than selectively apply a fix for a vulnerability.

    SDN - br ID vs vlan ID?

    I'm messing around with VLAN options on my GT-AX6000 main/AP combo (not mesh) for an IOT network for 3006.102. When I setup a custom network on the main router or AP router, and then choose the option that creates a unique subnet, the SDN system defaults to VLAN ID 52 and uses the .52 subnet...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_34406 2025/10/28

    That's been happening to me forever. But people seem to have a range of experiences with Network Map.
