    ASUS RT-AX88U - 1Gbits Internet not working

    To clarify, it isn't an issue with the Merlin firmware, it is simply the capability of the CPU to process the overhead and the maximum throughput the single enet port is capable of with everything going on. If you add a script or two, or a watchdog service like Skynet, throughput will drop...

    ASUS RT-AX88U - 1Gbits Internet not working

    I have 1.2gb service and an AX88U. I *never* get more than about 800 mb througput when using a single modem to router Ethernet cable. I *only* get 1gb+ when using my modem's channel bonding and the AX88U's WAN Aggregation feature. Check to ensure you have a modem capable of LACP, Link Ag...

    Your ISP's DHCP is not functioning properly - Xfinity

    Try WAN settings, bottom of page, DHCP frequency, set it to Aggressive. Works for me on Xfinity.

    [ 386.4 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Don't sweat it, @RMerlin . I know that's easy for me to say b/c I don't have all the impatient users pinging me all the time. You've been very clear - this issue lies with Asus and you have no control over it. That should be enough and people should have faith, after everything you've done...

    Gig Speeds on RT-AX88U

    Can confirm, without LinkAgg between modem and AX88U the *best* I've seen is ~920-940 with Comcast 1.3gb line - with everything turned off, like Skynet, AIProtect, etc.. With link agg btwn AX88U and modem with 2x CAT6 cables the best I can get is 1.2gb, still not full 1.3gb. Note I also have...

    Added 2.5gb WAN port to AX86U loaded with RMerlin’s FW

    Interesting... do you have instructions on how to do this?

    Can I Flash RMerlin FW on RT_AX88U before I set it up?

    Looks like this has been sorted out... but for others in the future... http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_FirmwareUpgrade_Content.asp You'll need to change the IP for your environment, but this is the firmware upgrade link in the router for AX88U.

    Pihole DNS

    You could set up a second PiHole instance using an actual RPi, using the settings you have, as DNS2. Both would then have to go down.

    Any changes to Guest 1 on Mesh nodes? Not covered in announcement, guessing no.

    How to get status of aimesh nodes from command line?

    FWIW - I use Merlin 386.4 alpha on Main and latest current Official on my nodes. Everything seems to work, with exception of the Guest1 on Mesh issue that Asus has with the Mesh2 codebase. See my sig.

    Suricata Any Updates?

    Hi @rgnldo , I'd like to do this with the pfSense/opnSense fw as a transparent filtering bridge with the Asus still handing out DHCP. I've tried a dozen times and can't seem to get it right.... If I make the fw the DHCP server and the Asus as just an access point it will work, but I would rather...

    Asus RT AC 86U,can I upgrade to Merlin firmware?

    Same thing... download the Asus Factory version, upload to the router, reset to default, then set it up. The nice thing about Merlin's version is it starts out as factory firmware. He adds enhancements, provides 'hooks' for other customizations supported by this community. But at the core it is...

    [ 386.4 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Running DNS over TLS, options I see are Strict or Opportunistic, 386.4 Alpha, AX88U. I've changed to Opportunistic based on recommendation above and haven't seen anything break.

    How to setup Pi-hole to work with Merlin?

    Thank you all for the info that the Pi4 is overkill, and the suggestion for using a Dual-Pi solution. I just happen to have 2 Pi3's that are itching for something to do. I'll be 'playing' with them on a dual Pi3 setup over the weekend, like early Sat/Sun morning when everyone else is still in...

    How to setup Pi-hole to work with Merlin?

    No worries... I should have provided more backdrop on why I was implementing it. And I should also say that I'm using a RPi 4B/8, a RPi 4 because of the 1G ethernet port. Even though the 3B has a '1gb' ethernet port, its limited by the USB2 chipset it pipes thorugh to ~300mb actual throughput...

    How to setup Pi-hole to work with Merlin?

    'cause prior to installing Pi-Hole I was using Diversion and Skynet scripts on the router itself. The 1gb service would only hit 500-600mb max. Offloading Ad-blocking and Malicious file blocking to a filtering DNS freed up router CPU resources.

    How to setup Pi-hole to work with Merlin?

    Followed the instructions here and the links to install Pi-Hole and Unbound. All seems to be working well, didn't decrease throughput. 1gb service getting ~960mb throughput via AX88U QOS tab for internet speed. I added additional servers to include Malware, other block lists and added a...
