    Can Verizon CR1000B work with other brand MoCA adapters?

    I am considering connecting the two floors of my home via the existing coaxial cable using MoCA. For that, I am considering using Verizon's CR1000B router that was given to me for free with the Verizon Fios installation as a MoCA adapter, so that I can buy just one other MoCA adapter. I was...

    R6330 in bridge mode suddenly refuses to connect via Wi-Fi to the "main router"

    For about 2 years, I've had the following internet configuration at home: ASUS RT-AC86U (with Merlin firmware) being my main router, and Netgear R6330 used as a bridge for 2 Ethernet-only devices: desktop+SMB-file-server and an MFP printer. After moving to a different place, I've restored the...

    samba share from router-attached HDD

    I have an RT-AC86U router with an attached HDD (USB3). I created an SMB share. I can access it from a laptop and a phone. However, I have problems accessing it from a desktop that is connected to the same network via ethernet & Netgear R6330 in a bridge mode. (This router connects a few...

    Question about security protocol used by RT-ACU86U

    These are the screenshots from the Wi-Fi survey page ( /visindex.asp ) for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, respectively. My router (shown in read in both cases) is RT-AC86U. I am just curious, what is meant that my router has "AES" (and not AES-CCMP)? As far as I understand, "AES" is just an encryption...

    In what time zone are the parental controls?

    I encountered a strange problem with Parental Controls -> Time Scheduling: After the change to the daylight saving time on March 12 (in the US), it looks like the scheduled times remained in the non-daylight saving time. I have a computer for which the offtime is 21:00-7:00, and now it gets the...

    Any conflicts between ASUS Android router app and Merlin firmware?

    I am wondering if anybody has seen any real conflicts between the ASUS android app for controlling routers and Merlin firmware? I am not talking about the obvious differences in functionality (and some things not available in the app), but only in the things that might get the router getting...

    What does "The For ALL DEVICES flag of Prof 1 has been set to DISABLE" mean?

    I've recently noticed this message in the syslog: kernel: The For ALL DEVICES flag of Prof 1 has been set to DISABLE While trying to google it, I've found it in a bunch of posts on different forums, but I cannot find any mentioning of what it means (and when is likely to appear). It is not...

    Relatively high load with idle CPU on ASUS RT-AC86U with ASUSWRT-Merlin

    I am not experiencing any problems, so, at this point it is just a curiosity. I've just noticed that the "load", as reported by top (1) and can be seen in /proc/loadavg is consistently (over the past 20+ minutes) sitting above 2.70 (sometimes spiking to over 3.00), while the CPU is 99.x% idle...

    RT-AC86U w. Merlin "disconnects" RT-N66R in media bridge mode

    I have RT-AC86U running Merlin 386.2_2 as my main router. I also have an old RT-N66R that I am using in a media bridge mode, - to connect a few devices in a different room - via Ethernet. Every so often (from a few days to a few, 1-4, weeks), RT-N66R looses its connection to RT-AC86U. (Reboot of...

    Problems reaching network-shared drive through VPN

    I have an ASUS AC-86U with Merlin 386.3_2 firmware. I have OpenVPN with "all traffic" sent through the VPN. There is a Windows box on the internal network with an HDD shared (by username and password). This drive is accessible from all local devices just fine using \\192.168.1.21 address...

    Connected device not shown on "Network Map" -> Clients list

    RT-AC86U running Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_2. I have noticed that one of the devices that is definitely connected to the router, is not listed among the connected clients on the first (Network Map) page. It does show in the logs: May 25 05:22:30 dnsmasq-dhcp[30212]: DHCPREQUEST(br0) 192.168.50.49...

    Access to Win10 shared files stopped after updating to 386.1_2

    On my home network, I have a Win-10 box that shares some files on the local network - to the users authenticated on that box. This has been working for long time just fine. After upgrading the router from 386.0 to 386.1_2, the files share is not accessible. Diagnostics: I can connect using...

    @RMerlin Just in case: Openssl has announced today two "high-severity" vulnerabilities that are present in 1.1.1h-1.1.1j. 1.1.1k fixes both of them. From reading the changelog, I am concluding that both 386.1 and 386.1_2 are affected, The current 386.2 Beta with its 1.1.1j should be affected...

    I have a problem that my network scanner (connected via RT-N66R in media-bridge mode to RT-AC86U) is loosing connection to/visibility of the local computers. Before it was connected via media-bridge, it was not a problem. Here is the configuration I have: Phaser 3300MFP is the network scanner...

    RT-AC86U is sold out @Walmart: a glitch or something else?

    For a few past weeks, RT-AC86U was available from Walmart, - both locally (for immediate pickup from the store), and for online orders. Something changed yesterday - very abruptly, this product became unavailable simultaneously from the local stores and Walmart.com (but it is still available...

    What traffic does Traffic Monitor (daily) count?

    I am not sure if this is Merlin-specific question or not... What does the Traffic Monitor in the "daily" view count: only the WAN portion, or the entire traffic going through the router? The reason I am asking is that every so often I see substantial discrepancies with the daily traffic as...

    Do all AX routers w. Merlin FW (RT-AX56U, RT-AX58U, RT-AX3000, RT-AX88U) support Dual WAN?

    I am wondering if all 4 AX routers currently supported by Merlin are equally capable of running with dual WAN (via Ethernet)? That actually has this questions: 1. Do all of them support dual WAN? 1. Do all of them support dual WAN via Ethernet for both? and 2. Are the dual WAN capabilities the...

    Minor bugs

    Reporting based on 380.69_2 (on RT-N66R), but I've observed this in the previous versions as well: 1. Page /Main_TrafficMonitor_realtime.asp The link to "Traffic Monitor FAQ" is broken. 2. I don't know if this is intentional or accidental: When you are installing a new version of the firmware...

    380.59 on RT-N66R: traffic monitor losses traffic statistics

    I've noticed that with 380.59 on RT-N66R, there is no "daily", "monthly" or even "last 24 hours" traffic information shown. Only the real time is available. the previous version, 380.58 seemed to work fine. It looks like a new bug. (And yet another thread seems to be also specific to v.59...
