    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    Didn't have any problem setting two Raspberry Pi Pi-Hole IP addresses in the LAN > DHCP Server > DNS and WINS Server Setting > DNS Server 1 and 2 fields. Make sure to set "Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS" to off or no.

    How to port Merlin settings to a new router

    One possible way to do it is have a computer with two network ports (example WiFi and Ethernet or a computer with two Ethernet ports). Then set up each network port to connect to each individual router. As others said above, its possible but not as simple as some make it sound. Additional...

    Need help setting up DLNA server

    You will likely (I assume) have to find a way to mount the local network Dune HD box's drive or Share to the router. Then hope (or find a way) to get the MiniDLNA service on the Asus router to see that mounted share and access it. There are some old discussions along the lines of mounting remote...

    RT-AC68U 13.2 update fails almost immediately...

    Yep, totally forgot that the 386.13_2 is only for two routers and the RT-AC68U isn't one of them. @Dudeman should confirm they are downloading the latest correct firmware file (RT-AC68U_386.13_0.zip) for their RT-AC68U router...

    Release ASUS GT-AX6000 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_34791

    Double the model name of the router on the back or bottom of the unit to ensure you are obtaining the correct firmware file for your model.

    ASUS Firmware update privacy policy?

    No, sounds like the ASD updates that Asus pushes to their routers: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/what-is-asd-process.76242/#post-729340 Per RMerlin: Last year a corrupted ASD update caused all sorts of issues for Asus router users. It took 48 hours, but the mystery of the mass Asus router...

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    I'd assume either the EU or maybe Great Britain mandated it.

    ASUS Firmware update privacy policy?

    The below screen capture is the relevant info on the Firmware Upgrade page on a RT-AX86U when one disagrees with the initial Asus privacy policy notice. Note what it indicates for Security Upgrade. Also note that both settings are disabled yet according to Asus, and as mentioned in the Firmware...

    RT-AC68U 13.2 update fails almost immediately...

    Is Is your RT-AC68U by chance a T-Mobile branded TM-AC1900 router? If so did you properly jailbreak the T-Mobile router including performing the MTD5 fix? If one doesn't perform the MTD5 fix on the TM-AC1900 they may be prevented from updating to later Asus or Asus-Merlin firmware. What...

    ASUS Firmware update privacy policy?

    Yes that is the way the notice is worded. While you can select "disagree" and "I understand the risk" and the router will disable "Auto Firmware Upgrade" and "Security Upgrade" settings; Asus however will still retain the ability to update the router when they feel its necessary (or at the...

    Need help setting up DLNA server

    What is the device or computer that is storing the media files? If a computer why not simply install a DLNA media server on that computer? If a NAS, most NAS boxes come with a DLNA media server or have the ability to have one installed.

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    Some comments and observations after spending some time playing with the basic 3.0.0.6_102_34312 firmware settings on an RT-AX86U Pro (no AiMesh, no VPN, no USB drive attached). Some of which has been reported/commented on already by others. The Asus Privacy Notice in the QIS setup section is...

    Release schedule for firmware?

    As others have said, generally no there isn't a set schedule. Asus does have a Product Security Advisory page where they sometimes post security updates. https://www.asus.com/content/asus-product-security-advisory/

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    Took a quick look at this 3006 firmware on a RT-AX86U Pro and ended up having issues with the Guest Network Pro settings. For what ever reason I couldn't get Guest Network Pro WiFi clients isolated from the main LAN clients in my quick testing. Even tried a Custom Guest Network Pro entry with...

    ASUS Firmware update privacy policy?

    The new privacy screen/information and forcing the user to choose was mentioned and posted to the RT-AX86U Pro 3006 firmware discussion over a week ago: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-ax86u-pro-firmware-version-3-0-0-6_102_34312-2024-05-09.90015/page-2#post-906998 One can just select...
