    Can I run scripts on an ASUS RT-AX88U (Merlin 388.2) Access Point?

    I have recently changed my home network setup. I have added a stand-alone pfSense box, now only using my router, an RT-AX88U running Merlin 388.2, as an access point. After I SSH into the AP I noticed that AMTM was available and could list available packages. I am only really interested in...

    OpenVPN on pfSense v2.6.0. **** Solved ****

    Hello. After using an AX88U with Merlin for an age, I got bored with everything ’just working’ so I’ve dipped my toes into pfSense waters. I have completely rewired my home network accordingly. I am now using the AX88U as an access point along with an AX3000 & AX1500 access points from TP-Link...

    Changing from USB 3.0 to SSD for Entware, Diversion etc....

    My system is running boringly fine at to moment. Even with Merlin 388.2 beta 1. I have a spare SSD and enclosure that I thought I could put to effective use. Reading on here, some people say that using an SSD against a USB 3.0 stick can be advantageous. As I love to tinker, how easy is it to...

    Diversion and NextDNS

    I have been using Diversion since its initial release and have been happy with it, both in functionality and effectiveness. I am using StevenBlacks blocking list. However, I have recently started using NextDNS and enabled the same blocking list there too. My question is, do I still need to use...

    Root Canary Test Results - All ServFail [Red Crosses]

    I recently Nuked my AX88U [full reset, NVRAM etc]. I did not restore settings from a backup, I wanted a pure clean install. I did, however, take screen shots of the relevant settings so I could manually enter them if/when required. All is working very well with one weird exception. I have DoT...

    PiHole, not sure if they are working.

    OK. I thought my PiHole setup was working fine. I am seeing queries logged in the PiHoles. Some requests state that they are being blocked. But I am now wondering if it is actually working. When I power down my PiHoles, and do a ipconfig /flushdns AND clear my browser cache, pages are still...

    Pi Hole and Amazon Echo

    I love to tinker and wanted to put a spare Raspberry Pi Model 3+ that I have spare to good use. I decided to set up PiHole All went well and the PiHole appears to be doing its job nicely. As a test, I disconnected the PiHole from my network and as expected, my systems could no longer access...

    RT-AX88U From Amazon UK - Not UK model?

    I purchased a AX88U from Amazon (UK). When it arrived, it has a 'continental' power adaptor, not one with a UK three-pin plug. As I have lots of 2>3 pin adaptors about it's not really an issue. But, set me thinking. The router is working fine and it's GUI was/is in English on first power on...

    Noob Question re-port forwarding...

    I currently have a VPN server configured on my Asus AC- RT88U router so that I can access my local home network when I am traveling. Works great. I have also configured a VPN client via the AirVPN Manchester Dabih server. That too works well. However, if I have both the VPN server (my own)...

    Use WoL on AC88U to wake both PC and NAS - How to?

    I have an AC88U running Merlin as-per my signature. I would like to use the routers WoL feature to wake both my PC and NAS but in an 'unattended mode'. I realize that there is already a WoL tab in the GUI, and it does work but it has to be manually implemented. Is it possible to set up a CRON...

    Remote access while both client AND server VPN enabled on AC-88U?

    I am somewhat of a noobs regarding this. I can follow instructions though... I have an 88U and have a VPN server set up so that I can access my network remotely. All is good. I also subscribe to AirVPN that is configured on my individual devices, PC, iPhone and iPad. That too works fine. I can...

    RT-AC88U CPU Temperature..

    Forgive me, this is the first time I have used Merlin's firmware and I have a concern regarding my CPU temperature. I don't have any external devices attached to my router and is not pushed/under strain, yet my CPU temperature as reported by the firmware, is 77C. It seems a bit high. The...
