    Double-NAT vs. bridge mode - performance?

    TL;DR - any performance impact with a double-NAT setup vs. bridge mode (using latest gen. ISP supplied hub connected to a RT-AX88U)? Currently going through the process of upgrading my internet connection - going from 60/20 to hopefully around ~250/40 - as I'll be changing technologies (VDSL2...

    USB and swap file - performance consideration?

    Should one be particularly concerned re. the performance of a USB stick used both in various amtm-launched installs and as a swap file? I've just used an old one I found laying around for testing, should I consider replacing or is it much of a muchness? Since the RT-AX88U runs at just over...

    % of DHCP pool in use?

    Hi, Am I imagining it, or did there used to be a info line somewhere giving a % of the DHCP pool addresses in use? Presumably the System Log > DHCP Leases tab would be the most obvious place, or perhaps under Tools..?

    NVRAM or JFFS?

    Ah that makes sense, I get it now! I did wonder why the dhcp_hostnames were seperate from their corresponding MAC and IP addresses, and now you come to mention it I do remember the option to specify custom hostnames for static reservations appearing.. probably around the time I started using...

    NVRAM or JFFS?

    Hi, Re. the following variables: dhcp_staticlist (MAC to IP address mappings for static DHCP reservations) dhcp_hostnames (IP to hostname mappings for static DHCP reservations, if specified) custom_clientlist (custom aliases/labels given to clients within the GUI, including chances to their...

    [384.15_Alpha - builds] Testing all variants.

    I also have a RT-AX88U, with two RT-AX92U's as AiMesh nodes (running latest stock firmware). I'm finding similar to you in that, for the first time, my AiMesh nodes seem relatively stable.. I wouldn't say perfect, there have been a few times when internet access and ping responses have become...

    AX88U + AX92U(x2) AiMesh combo

    Following on the from the suggestion the problem might be linked exclusively to the 5Ghz network and/or AX backhaul, I've just had another look at my setup - which, weirdly I thought, seems to have actually stablished slightly over the past few days (it's just taken me a while to get round to...

    AX88U + AX92U(x2) AiMesh combo

    Interesting, I completely forgot about the chipset difference (while being fully aware of it as the reason Merlin firmware isn't available for the AX92U). I'll see if I can find some time where I can take the AX88U out of the equation.. unfortunately, this being quite disruptive, I'm not sure...

    RT-AX88U enabled AX slows wifi extremely

    Hi, keen to double-check this - certainly *seems* to be supported on backhaul link, at least as reported by the wireless logs. Then again, "supported" as in it seems to be enabled.. though this very thread (and mine...

    Aimesh RT-AC86U on Merlin 384.14_0 and RT-AC5300 on stock 3.0.0.4.384.81219

    I'm also having some AiMesh issues (https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ax88u-ax92u-x2-aimesh-combo.60655/), what's the best way to check the AiMesh core code lines up between my routers (in my case AX88U on Merlin, 2 x AX92U's on stock Asus)? Thanks.

    AX88U + AX92U(x2) AiMesh combo

    Hmm, it does seem very similar - spooky that we've both been experiencing the same issues for a number of weeks yet decided to post here within 30 minutes of each other!! Interesting you've made the link to a) AX/HE-Frame and b) the Wi-Fi 5Ghz network only - the latter would fit with my...

    AX88U + AX92U(x2) AiMesh combo

    Hi, I'm running a AX88U as my main router, with two strategically placed AX92U's as AiMesh nodes - their primary purpose being to serve two "media heavy" locations both via eithernet (ethernet backhaul not an option unfortunately) and wireless, and with what seems to be a decent wireless...

    How to set up DNS over TLS 384.13?

    @RMerlin A minor point on Tools > Other Settings > Wan: Use local caching DNS server as system resolver (default: No) By default this is set to "No", as is stated in the text of the option itself, however the tooltip - to my reading at least - suggests the exact opposite (see attached...

    Lets Encrypt not updating, or?

    Agreed. But they are not, at least not for me. Never had a problem before.

    Lets Encrypt not updating, or?

    Taking onboard the well-made point that this is a ASUS oem firmware problem to fix, is there any reason what we have now shouldn't currently be working - ie. before we reach November 2019 and while not in a brownout period (eg. today)? Having just rebuilt a router I can't get the LetsEncrypt...

    How to generate new certificate?

    Now that 380.66 onwards generates more complete certificates, how to I get it to regenerate? More precisely: how do I remove the current (inferior) one so as to trigger the auto-generation? Thanks.

    Low NVRAM.. despite factory defaulting etc

    Good point well made = RT-AC3200 !

    Low NVRAM.. despite factory defaulting etc

    Hi, I've had the "low NVRAM" warning on my RT-AC3200 for a while now, always assumed this to be likely a product of having been lazy for a few code upgrades and not factory defaulting etc. So today I tried to tackle it, but with no success: First I backed up using the NVRAM Save/Restore tool...

    Advice please: RT-AC5300 improvements over RT-AC3200

    Hi, I currently run a RT-AC3200 (with Asuswrt-Merlin of course, one of the key reasons I went for this make/model) which a couple of years ago replaced a hybrid of overly complex multiple networks/extenders/routers etc to cover my large-ish three-story property, when including various home...

    NVRAM warning = factory reset = possible to export a few things first (DHCP fixed addresses, labels)

    Thanks both, appreciated.
