    multiple entries using ‘arp-scan’ but not reflected in ‘arp’ command

    Two different functions that you can read from their respective man pages: arp-scan sends ARP packets to hosts on the local network... https://linux.die.net/man/1/arp-scan Arp manipulates or displays the kernel's IPv4 network neighbour cache. https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/arp.8.html

    dnsmasq hostname doesn't resolve on OSX/IPad but resolves on Windows/Android

    https://github.com/lathiat/nss-mdns libnss-mdns would provide only lookup (& caching) of hostnames in the .local domain unless you register hostnames with Avahi. The current mDNS seems to work fine without a central lookup & cache. dnsmasq already provides hostname lookup for single-label...

    spdMerlin WAN speed is correct...VPN is very low!!

    Sorry - your opinion is not proof. Current Merlin on AX86U runs OpenVPN 2.6.5 which defaults to AES-258-GSM & AES-128-GSM, which openssl 1.1.1u provides. That cipher is much faster on the AX86U than the CHACHA20-POLY1305 (Wireguard) as can be seen by running the openssl speed tests. Of...

    So you have proof that it is impossible....

    spdMerlin WAN speed is correct...VPN is very low!!

    You can get close to full Gigabit on OpenVPN. I have OpenVPN running on Asus RT-AX86U (latest Merlin) at home (Google 1G fiber) and have tested 840Mbps from a couple of the ISPs in SLC to ATL (USA) using AES-256-GCM cipher with only fast-io custom config on the server side. Clients have been...

    firmware assigning wrong hostname to router

    Suggest you forget the mesh mode and use AP instead. Try: ONT - (WAN) AC88U - LAN IP > Hostname=router, Domain=lan, IP address=192.168.1.1 [Apply] DHCP Server > Enable the DHCP server [Apply] AC88U (LAN) - (WAN) AC68U - set in AP mode LAN > Hostname=BasementAP, Domain Name=lan, Get IP...

    firmware assigning wrong hostname to router

    OP appears fond of using ssh to change hostnames.... :)

    firmware assigning wrong hostname to router

    btw - I hope you only use valid hostnames: Each element of the hostname must be from 1 to 63 characters long and the entire hostname, including the dots, can be at most 253 characters long. Valid characters for hostnames are ASCII(7) letters from a to z, the digits...

    Multicast routing SSDP to Wireguard VPN client(s)

    Are you sure? The link I sent shows that Jellyfin supports HDHomerun tuners. I know nothing about HDHR....

    firmware assigning wrong hostname to router

    How are the "daisy-chained" devices connected? LAN-WAN? LAN-LAN? When you say "..the router..." which one are you talking about? Do you have DHCP running on each of the routers? I suggest you simplify your network to have just one router and multiple APs....

    Odd Issue: Device Not Showing, but Working

    Interesting - on my RT-AX86U client list it just shows up as Apple (maybe an identification from the MAC address?) while on a Discovery app (DNS-SD/Bonjour), it shows up as the room location (Entertainment Room) it was set up as.

    Multicast routing SSDP to Wireguard VPN client(s)

    Can you solve your problem a different way? Use a different server at home (Jellyfin? ) to stream the media over your VPN TUN? https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/live-tv/

    mDNs / Bonjour / Multicast

    Not sure why libnss-mdns would be necessary. Wouldn't most (or all?) mDNS queries be for services not hostname resolution? I don't run any services (such as smb) on my router, but I assume the avahi-daemon is there to respond to mDNS queries for services actually running on the router. I...

    mDNs / Bonjour / Multicast

    Bonjour is probably better described as one to many in both directions at the data link layer (L2), so for the HomePod issue you may have to add this to a /jffs/scripts/avahi-daemon.conf: [reflector] enable-reflector=yes
