    Adam Networks - AsusWrt Merlin

    The things we do for our parents, in-laws and family. Thanks for the explanation. I saved your observations. I am sure it will come in handy.

    Adam Networks - AsusWrt Merlin

    Now that is clear as mud for an average user to figure out! How long did it take you to figure this out?

    BE88U Static Route

    It is more than likely that your PON's firewall is getting in the way of the static route. The firewall is likely denying access from any other subnet then it's own. Creating the alias address on the Asus Router on the same subnet as the PON gets around the firewall issue.

    Challenge with tunneling internet for WG site to site from the server side

    Yeah, I knew you could not do this via the GUI. I'd be ok with just scripting a solution, but as you pointed out, the OP wants to stay away from that. I'm working on a couple of other projects at the moment, but I am going to have to look at this again.

    Challenge with tunneling internet for WG site to site from the server side

    @ZebMcKayhan Is not the OP objective here is just to add a server side VPN Director rule? I don't use Asus's WG implementation. Have never even played with it. My home brew scripts I wrote for my server, client, and Oracle VPS gateway (site to site) back when I was using a AC86U have worked...

    Saving the multiple DHCP Static Lists and Custom Client Lists from 3006 Routers with Guest Network Pro?

    Well, you do have to remember the target audience for Asus when it comes to these routers. It is not us techy's! There is much better hardware on the market that will do what you are looking for, but they are not always as easy to set up as they are geared to the tech heads. Merlin just spoils...

    Saving the multiple DHCP Static Lists and Custom Client Lists from 3006 Routers with Guest Network Pro?

    Speaking from the school of hard knocks!! When you start down the path of experimenting, I suggest that you follow this order; 1. Find out what dnsmasq processes are running on your router. From an SSH shell, do a ps | grep dnsmasq and note the output. 2. Make your dnsmasq.conf.add file or...

    Saving the multiple DHCP Static Lists and Custom Client Lists from 3006 Routers with Guest Network Pro?

    You can add static DHCP entries using either the /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add config file or the /jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf script. The dnsmasq.conf.add is useful if you are just looking to add additional config options to the dnsmasq config file that are not normally dynamically added by...

    Saving the multiple DHCP Static Lists and Custom Client Lists from 3006 Routers with Guest Network Pro?

    I have always used a dnsmasq.conf.add file to add my static dhcp entries. Easy to maintain, and easy to keep a backup copy. With 3006 out, there is a dnsmasq instance per SDN now. Merlin has added a dnsmasq-INDEX.conf.add so you can add to each instance.

    sbnMerlin 1.2.6 - Network Isolation Tool based on Guest Networks, June 26 2024

    @janico82 Finally had a chance to sit down and look at this script to see if I should replace my home brew bodge with your more thoughtful and insightful script. Very nicely done. Looking through your script, you are doing things a wee bit differently then myself - which is a good thing, you...

    Confusion about RP-AC1900 firmware update (3.0.0.4.386_51733)?

    Crap, I did not catch the RP part. My bad. Thanks @RMerlin for catching that.

    BE88U Static Route

    What it is set to is fine. Virtually everything that runs on the router is root anyway. But if you are concerned, 700 is good.

    Confusion about RP-AC1900 firmware update (3.0.0.4.386_51733)?

    I am fairly positive both models are the same machine. Just marketing. If you look at the supported list of routers for Merlin, as an example, his software for the AC68U includes the AC1900.

    BE88U Static Route

    To make this survive a reboot, you will have to create or modify the want-event script in /jffs/scripts. In the wan-event script, put the following code (adding the #!/bin/sh as the very first line only if you are creating the script for the first time, otherwise if there is already a wan-event...

    BE88U Static Route

    No, it won't survive a reboot. When I sit down at my computer tomorrow, I will send instructions on how to add this to a Merlin script so it will servive a reboot. Working off of a tablet at moment.
