    QNAP TS109 II no connection to ASUS RT-AC86U router

    Just to clarify, when I say working connections, I mean between the NAS and any other device. If there was any damage I would assume the NAS, not every port on the router. I won't ask but I assume you are using the latest firmware for the router, which would be the only thing outside of...

    QNAP TS109 II no connection to ASUS RT-AC86U router

    Not sure if I can contribute anything useful, it is an unusual situation. My first thought is regarding media interface compatibility. It seems like a lifetime ago now but we used to have to worry between duplex, full duplex and not leaving settings on auto because you could end up with...

    RT-AC68U as a bridge?

    I found this link, although it's not super helpful: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/wireless-client-mode-in-asuswrt-merlin.34130/ Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    RT-AC68U as a bridge?

    From what you've said, you need the router to act as a wireless client (as opposed to a repeater) and potentially a bridge, which should be entirely possible but I'm not sure out of the box. I think this is known as media bridge mode in the Asus firmware, which implies it should bridge (the...

    Asus RT-AC5300 discontinued or being phased out

    Yep, I agree and that was exactly my point. To Australia, Amazon was barely more than an overseas online store for books/DVDs/Blue Rays ... Until recently. I would never guess a product's availablity or especially it's continuation based on Amazon ... But ... I would never bother _guessing_ a...

    Asus RT-AC5300 discontinued or being phased out

    Lol. Being in Australia Amazon has never provided us with electronics and has only done so very recently. They have typically been irrelevant but the router is available on the new AU Amazon none-the-less. I don't think any manufacturer of a niche product like the ac5300 range would continue to...

    Asus RT-AC5300 discontinued or being phased out

    I've had this unit since release and can't say the speed of updates has ever bothered me. I don't know what code gets pushed to the code available to Merlin, nor when it is released but it has been pretty thick and fast from the Merlin side. My previous Asus router, the rt-n56u was pretty lack...

    HELP - can't log in!

    I think this is something that can just 'happen'. It's happened to me too but only maybe twice in the entire time I've owned this router and a reboot has sorted it out. I don't use time scheduling. I've yet to have it happen with the latest Merlin firmware. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    Yep, you basically paraphrased everything I just said above, it's almost like you read what I posted :D Seriously though, that's the whole point of dnsfilter in AiProtection, if you use it correctly. and I went over mobile broadband and VPNs etc. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    HELP - can't log in!

    Thought I'd reply seeing as no one else did. In the end you did the right thing. There's no 'suppose to', if you can change the admin username then it's not a bad idea. If you can't get access then factory reset. I would have been worried too and a factory reset would have been prompt! Sent...

    Access point mode and Guest Wireless network

    The only problem I can think of with this setup is if you want router 2 to have internet access (for diagnostics to work and updates to flag) you'll need to give it a default gateway (192.168.1.1). In OpenWRT there is a field in the LAN network settings for adding a default gateway and of...

    Access point mode and Guest Wireless network

    In LAN, configure the LAN address to 192.168.1.2 and disable the DHCP server. The LAN ports act as a switch and aren't subject to firewalling or NAT, connect a LAN port from router 2 to a LAN port on router 1 and you should be good to go. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    Access point mode and Guest Wireless network

    I didn't notice this response ... Yeah ... Don't do that :D ... As Colin said, it's not a valid config. See my response just before this one. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    There was plenty of parental advice in the thread I listed, thought I'd go with the technical answer ... and the obvious :D Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    Access point mode and Guest Wireless network

    That's sounds right (route 10.0.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2), though you'd be accessing the disk via the IP of the subnet behind the WAN interface of router 2 (10.0.0.1) and you need to disable NAT on router 2. Router 2 would also need VPNSUBNET/MASK via 192.168.1.1, though the defaultgw of...

    Access point mode and Guest Wireless network

    That sounds painful. It's probably a bug, I can't see why the guest network should function any different in AP mode. If you're happy with leaving it in router/wireless mode, you should only need to make sure your routes are in order and preferably (most likely need to) eliminate NAT on the...

    adult site blocking

    One other thought ... I, like most people, tend to set an open policy in dnsfilter and then restrict individual devices, as it mimicks parental controls. You could go the other way and globally restrict and then open up for allowed devices. At least occupying an existing MAC is a little more...

    Simplest way to set up VLANs?

    Depends on what you're comfortable with. The WAN and LAN ports on most router's are just one switch seperated by VLANing. Using a firmware like OpenWRT lets you completely reconfigure the switch ports. Each port can be a completely separate network or you can join any number in a VLAN. This is...
