    Strange DDNS behavior (afraid.org) with Wireguard

    You say it appears to be working on the router, so does the DDNS show your domain correctly just below your IP near the top of the home page? Does the DDNS config page say "registration successful" half way down and I assume you have let it get a valid let's encrypt certificate? And of course...

    GT-AX6000 - Memory Leak? Hacked?

    Proton have a good password generator too: https://proton.me/pass/password-generator The memorable word option is handier than the random ones. Longer length is better than complexity. I'd also check any computers for unknown/not installed by you remote access software, Anydesk, logmein...

    Proper PPPoE Setup on Merlin?

    You don't need VLAN setting for Plusnet FTTP, just the username as you mentioned and your account password, with PPPoE of course, on the WAN settings page. Some Plusnet pages still mention VLAN, but they haven't updated them since FTTC years ago.

    Proper PPPoE Setup on Merlin?

    You don't need to enter anything for VLAN on BT FTTC with an HG612. The same goes for using an ONT on a BT FTTP connection when it comes.

    Alternative WAN with an RT-AX88U Pro

    I would certainly try a hub and see what happens. I've got 3 SSDs hanging off a hub in the one USB 3 port on a GT-AX6000 just fine. It is a powered hub though.

    An end to tinkering?

    Maybe you need to clear your browser cache/refresh after the various resets and firmware changes. Good luck with not tinkering! How long before you get itchy feet?

    Afraid.org DDNS Down?

    There's nothing showing on their news page, https://freedns.afraid.org/news/ maybe reach out to Joshua on the contact link, he's pretty approachable.

    Router trouble RT-AX88U

    That's assuming its not a combined PLA with WiFi, so may not be possible to temporarily use an ethernet cable - but is the first step I'd try. It does sound like an old problem I had way back around 4 years ago on 384.something - same thing in the logs the clients didn't do the request after an...

    UK - BT Digital Voice without Smart Hub?

    If you want a fairly long technical read as to how the DV product works try this thread on Thinkbroadband. Someone did manage to achieve running the SH2 on the LAN side of their Asus router plus a Raspberry Pi to do a bit of PPPoE trickery. The link is to the post where that bit is explained...

    AC86U with Ultrafast Fibre setup (FTTP)

    Whether you need PPPoE is determined by the ISP you subscribe to, the ONT is effectively transparent. If you use BT as the ISP then you will need to set the WAN connection type in the basic section at the top to PPPoE. Other ISPs may not need it, such as TalkTalk FTTP over the openreach...

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    Your router is not replying to pings, hence the solid red which is 100% packet loss. You may need to find the "reply to pings" setting on your router and turn it on.

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    As others have said I would try a Thinkbroadband BQM on your line. I don't do gaming and have never used QoS as I've not had any issues - I do a reasonable amount of Teams/Zoom (although some over my work corporate VPN) and use a VoIP landline with no issues. But just for comparison the...

    Speed Tests Questions

    I've never found the BT Wholesale speedtest particularly consistent - I'd guess they do some smoothing/interpolation to try and give a real world result but it seems to just mess it up quite often. On my BT retail "500/75" it can show just under 500 and about 70 up a lot of the time - but if you...

    How do I get full speed from BT Fiber 1GB Broadband

    Essentially you can't replace the Openreach ONT (Optical Network Termination) - just use an ethernet cable from the ONT to the WAN port on your AX88U as you are doing. You said you got it up to ~900Mbps - which is about the maximum your service can provide.

    Best small Merlin-compatible router

    The RT-AX56U is fairly compact compared to the 88s and runs Merlin, but as Tech9 says no WISP mode and not as compact as gl-inet products. I've seen them for a while but never tried one.
