    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 models

    Well, updated my main router to the GT-AX6000 beast after a delicious price drop on that thing that I could simply not refuse. Got 388.1 (non-ROG skin) all setup and configured this afternoon (flash, full reset, manual config). Final restart of the network done just now. Been a while since I've...

    "Best" new router that supports Merlin?

    HA! Did the regular non-ROG skin. Don't care for the ROG-theme to be honest. Keep it simple and familiar. And I have a feeling RMerlin will drop support for that going forward.

    "Best" new router that supports Merlin?

    I don't expect a massive jump coming from an RT-AX86U as my main router. But it will allow me to re-shuffle my APs.

    Tragic comedy for sure. There's no fibre offering in my area. We are at Rogers' mercy.

    Questions Repeatedly Asked? (Comedy Thread)

    Here's some comedy... hey Rogers, why is my upload speed so puny when compared to my download speed? C'mon man, fix this chiz. Where's my symmetrical fibre at? Sigh... dare to dream.

    With my dual Pi-hole setup, I've found that it's just under a 90/10 split of traffic between DNS1 and DNS2. This is for ~110 clients on my home network. 300k+ requests / 24 hours across both Pi-holes in total.

    How do you control which DNS the clients hit (DNS1 vs DNS2) as there will be a small number that go directly to DNS2 without using DNS1?

    ad blocking

    Your original comment was about using Unbound for more privacy, and then the ask was: "What is the difference between setting up Unbound and OpenDns as the upstream compared to the way I have it now which is running pihole with OpenDns as upstream, but unbound is not installed?" For Pi-hole -...

    At some point, something will NEED to see your queries... otherwise how will your request know where to go? Many, including myself, like Unbound as it cuts out the middle man so to speak and you go direct to root servers, minimizing your exposure to a smaller number of hosts. With Pi-hole - you...

    Release the hounds! Upgrading the APs now. Will do my main router tonight to minimize family disruption. Great job @RMerlin and team! Let's GO! EDIT: RIP Uptime... we had a good run. EDIT 2: Main router upgraded. So far so good. Web UI was a bit sluggish at the start. Expected from what I...
