    Thoughts on the RT-AC3100 vs RT-AX58U?

    Thanks to both of you for the input. The AX58U is still in the packaging here, since I decided to take one more shot at the AC3100. I factor reset both the AC3100 and the pair of AC68U that I have here, and set up the 3100 as an AiMesh router, and got one of the AC68U connected as a node. I...

    Thoughts on the RT-AC3100 vs RT-AX58U?

    Great feedback - thanks for the response! I spent my lunch hour looking into the Netgear Orbi as another option. Basically 2 floors in my house, totaling just under 2000 sq ft. I am considering trying a factory reset on the AC3100 and the AC68U and trying the AiMesh option. It sounds like...

    Thoughts on the RT-AC3100 vs RT-AX58U?

    Hey all, I am struggling with the AC3100 I bought a month ago, and I can still return until mid-January. I get a lot of wifi drops, weird DNS lookup delays/failures, and other issues (several power cycles have been required over the last week. The AC3100 is my main router, and I have another...

    DNSFilter bypassed if connected to repeater's wifi network?

    Thanks - I hadn't considered that. I suppose this could be an option, but there are a LOT of devices on my network (a lot of which are IoT devices). I will have to try this and see if it causes any issues. And maybe as an alternative, I could add the repeater's MAC to the list, and filter it...

    DNSFilter bypassed if connected to repeater's wifi network?

    Follow-up - I did find one other post that mentions this behavior but I didn't see a solution as that post was called off topic for the thread it was placed in. Link to other post: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/dnsfilter-exclusion-not-working.50284/page-2#post-448393

    DNSFilter bypassed if connected to repeater's wifi network?

    Just curious if anyone has any ideas how to fix this issue. I have two routers running Merlin (RT-AC68U)- one is my main router, and the second is configured as a repeater, with different network SSID's ending in "RPT" so I can tell them apart. The repeater is installed in the basement to...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I just wanted to say thank you for pointing this out today. I just checked this again and realized that the adblocking function was indeed being bypassed by using the DNSfilter function of the router for the kids computers. I will have to look into how I can use the alternate blocking file for...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    First of all, this is an AMAZING resource thread. It will take me days to digest all of the info here. I am interested in whether I can use my new NordVPN on the router (I configured it a few weeks ago - still in my 30 day trial period), and still get the benefit of using the Diversion...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Thanks. I have gone through and installed it on my two windows machines, will be doing it for my Ubuntu machine, but I am not sure I am following the install instructions that show up at the end of that link where the link for installing on ChromeOS. That set of instructions refers to a...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Hello all - just installed Diversion this weekend, and just had a question about the pixelserv-tls options. I see some info about adding a certificate for this, but I am not clear how that works or what it is for. When I go to 192.168.1.5/servstats I get the following: (the section about HTTPS...
