    Asus XT8 crash

    I just started to have this problem with my XT8 that acts as the node. Just crashing like crazy. I did a hard reset and then found this post. I had similar craziness in my logs as we have a ton of Apple devices so I enabled SSH and ran these commands on each one. Hopefully one of those items...

    Merlin Firmware For XT8 ZenWifi?

    I just replaced my ac5300 with a pair of XT8’s and was hoping Merlin worked his magic for those as well. Maybe someday. :) I have to say that so far the router(s) are rock solid. Certainly gives me better coverage and reliability. I was having to reboot the 5300 every few weeks or so cause one...

    [Release 380/Legacy] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.70 is now available

    I suppose going from 380.70 to the new branch will require factory reset, yes? Will I be able to import settings or no? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Trouble setting up OpenVPN server + Tunnelblick on Mac

    I think I got it figured out. Thanks for the help!

    Trouble setting up OpenVPN server + Tunnelblick on Mac

    Thanks. I got a DynDNS account and I can now connect. I did get a pop-up saying that my local IP didn't change, but I didn't dig any further. When I check it in my phone I am seeing a different IP so I'm not sure if there's an issue or not. I'll check it again shortly to make sure it's operating...

    Trouble setting up OpenVPN server + Tunnelblick on Mac

    Well, I now see that the IP that is getting resolved from the ASUS dynamic DNS is not correct. That will obviously be a problem. I tried disabling then enabling that service again to update the IP, but it did not. Any way to force an update?

    Trouble setting up OpenVPN server + Tunnelblick on Mac

    The one I downloaded has 2.4.3 support, but I'll double check it. I did try using an LTE connection to come in from the outside, however I didn't try that after I reset it. I'll try it as is though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Trouble setting up OpenVPN server + Tunnelblick on Mac

    The only thing I see on the router side is this when OpenVPN starts up: Could not determine IPv4/IPv6 protocol. Using AF_INET6 Does that mean it's trying to use IPv6? I don't have that enabled.

    Trouble setting up OpenVPN server + Tunnelblick on Mac

    I'm trying to setup OpenVPN server on my AC5300 (v. 380.67) and for the life of me I can't get the client, Tunnelblick on Mac, to connect. Admittedly, I have no idea what I'm doing with the settings in either place, but I've tried a ton of different configurations and none will connect. I'm also...

    Strange thing happened with my AC5300 - Can anyone shed light?

    Correct. But it doesn't explain the internal network service problem. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Strange thing happened with my AC5300 - Can anyone shed light?

    Alright - I just did a factory reset and set things back up without not-so-smart connect. I also changed the 2.4g channel since I can see another router on the same one and changed the second 5G as well, again since I can see another router on it. No idea if any of that is going to keep this...

    Strange thing happened with my AC5300 - Can anyone shed light?

    I live in a townhouse and next to a small apartment building. There's a LOT of wifi traffic around, but I haven't gone sniffing for frequencies. I've been letting the router do it's thing. What I don't get is how EVERYTHING works perfectly fine until at some point I can't access the services...

    Strange thing happened with my AC5300 - Can anyone shed light?

    I'm using Merlin's Firmware, not Asus stock - hence the post here. I haven't run stock firmware for several years on my Asus routers and would rather not since Merlin's is superior. I upgraded the router the same day I bought it and configured it prior to the upgrade. I did not do a factory...

    Strange thing happened with my AC5300 - Can anyone shed light?

    Not that it matters since nobody helped, but I had to revert back to using 3 SSIDs. The router up and did the same damn thing again and I didn't know what else to do get it working. Have no clue why that would cause the access issue I mentioned though. Never had any issues with my 66U...

    Strange thing happened with my AC5300 - Can anyone shed light?

    Hi all. I recently managed to get my 5300 and all clients happy using Smart Connect. Everything was connecting and working great. Until sometime today that is. The problem manifested itself with being unable to access most ports on a Mac (on a 5G channel) on the network (running several...

    Question about Smart Connect (on AC5300) and issues with one client

    I was finally able to get this working with a single SSID after I happened across a few other posts about the Smart Connect rules. I had to try a few combinations to see if they would work and so far so good. Everything is spreading out like I would expect and my Roku TV can now connect as well...

    Question about Smart Connect (on AC5300) and issues with one client

    I just tried this and it didn't work out so well. Everything wanted to connect to the 2.4 band since it's stronger I guess. Certainly can't have that when my workstation connects at 1.3Gbps when on a 5G band.

    Question about Smart Connect (on AC5300) and issues with one client

    I finally upgraded my R66U router and stuck with Asus. I didn't initially update to Merlin, but did that after a day or 2 and everything seemed fine. I didn't reset to factory though. I also decided to try the Smart Connect thing so I wouldn't have to decide which band to connect to. That also...

    Can ping/nslookup in terminal, but can't browse?!

    Apparently whatever was going on had nothing at all to do with the router - or at least that is how it appears. After downgrading and doing several other things on my Mini I had no issues for several days. So I upgraded to the latest build again and still have had no issues. Must have been...

    Can ping/nslookup in terminal, but can't browse?!

    I upgraded to .43 a few days ago on my N66U and not long after started having issues with my Mac Mini connected via 5G WiFi. It's connected and I can do anything locally on my network AND can even ping/nslookup via terminal - but I can't do anything that requires http. A reboot of my Mini...
