    Network extender and DHCP

    All most folks have to do is launch the setup and pick the network to extend. Jus ta few minutes and you are away and running. Here it was nutty, the extender always failed to give the PC using the extender an IP number. Bj

    Network extender and DHCP

    Well, I'm 99% of the way there! With the route line added (192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1) my whole network goes funny. Slows right down and I sometimes cannot get to pages without a few refreshes. I removed the route line with no luck and. I tried a router reboot with no luck...

    Network extender and DHCP

    Woohoo, the route statement was it! I added that and I can ping the world from the extender. Now just find the perfect spot to plug it in and all is well in the household again. Funny how chest pains go away after something big (well to me) is successful. thanks very much, Bj

    Network extender and DHCP

    Hi. I leave out everything when I am frustrated. It was when I gave the extender a static IP 192.168.1.254, 255.255.255.0 with a gateway of 192.168.1.1 it finally allowed me to ping my router at 192.168.1.1 Please bear with me here, by 2nd router do you mean the extender? To use the TP Link...

    Network extender and DHCP

    thanks Colin, by see I meant able to ping. So I can ping the router however I cannot ping outside my network. When setting the extender up I do get a list of networks that I can choose from to extend. That part goes fine. thanks

    Network extender and DHCP

    Well, Colin after much playing around I got the extender to see the router. The router is 1.1 and the extender is 1.254. I am still unable to ping outside however this is a big start. Any ideas where to look now? thanks

    Network extender and DHCP

    That's part of the problem Colin, the device does not see the router. That's what is driving me nuts, it should not be this hard. thanks

    Network extender and DHCP

    I set a couple of these up in the past (different network) and they were remarkably easy. This time it is nuts. Connecting to either extender I cannot ping my router. The TP-Link shows Dynamic IP: failed in its status screen. I only say they are successfully set up in that they point to the...

    Network extender and DHCP

    Hello, I have an Asus AC3100 router running Merlin with no problems. I'm trying to set up an extender to get the network signal a little stronger on the patio. I have tried a no-name China device and a TP-Link (850) model with the same results. I get no internet service no matter what device I...

    RMerlin, congrats on AsusWrt-Merlin being chosen as "Community Choice” Project of the Month on Sourceforge! That's quite the accomplishment. I realize it was last month however I just saw it today. Bj

    ASUS RT-AX88U or ASUS RT-AX88U/CA

    That's some great info, thanks. I appreciate it. Now holding off on the purchase....often that is tougher, however, I usually try to not throw my money away. There will be a cooler model coming down the pike soon that will make sense. thanks, Bj

    ASUS RT-AX88U or ASUS RT-AX88U/CA

    Hello. Is the 88U/CA supported by Merlin? All I can see is on Merlin's web site is support for the 88U and I'd rather not toss $400 away and end up with a router, not supported by Merlin. Currently, I have an Asus RT-3100 . Would I see any difference in range with the 88X? thanks all, Bj

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Hi. In my experience Diversion catches far more ads than any blockers I have used. A plus is that it covers every PC on your network, no sperate ad-blocking software on every PC. I have never had a problem with Diversion, it just sits there quietly and works. You can easily enable/disable it...

    JamieZX Did you say something about blocking in-laws at your home? Bj

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    What is the purpose of blocking countries manually? Would not any harm coming from those countries be blocked by Skynet already? I'm not being critical of the feature, I'm just trying to understand it. thanks, Bj
