    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    Dirty upgrade from 386.13_2 to 386.14 on both my main RT-AC68U and also on my RT-AC68U that is in Media Bridge mode. So far, all is well. I don't have any add-ons other than YazDHCP.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 / 386.13_2 is now available for AC models

    Dirty upgrade to my RT-AC68U from 386.12_6 to 386.13 two days ago. All is well so far. :)

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12_6 is now available for AC models

    Live upgrade on an RT-AC68U from 386.12_4 to 386.12_6 two days ago. It isn't running any non-standard scripts, etc. other than YazDHCP. So far everything is working fine. (Edit to add: This router is a V2 model. I don't know what changes were made between this and the original. Just adding...

    Does default dnsmasq configuration store LAN names?

    Just an FYI, since you say that have a "a lot" of devices on your LAN; the non-DSL version of the AC68U runs out of nvram fairly quickly when you start adding a lot of devices as DHCP reservations. Assuming that the DSL version shares most of the same software, and probably suffers the same...

    Solved ASUS RT-AC68U router can't reach specific website - known issue?

    I'm using an RT-AC68U on firmware 386.12_4 here and I can visit that website. No errors.

    OpenVPN configuration not compatible with OpenVPN Connect 3.4.0

    Whatever came with Merlin 386.12 firmware. I see OpenVPN Server 2.6.6 in the system log.

    OpenVPN configuration not compatible with OpenVPN Connect 3.4.0

    That didn't happen on my RT-AC68U by just turning the VPN server off, hitting apply, and even rebooting. I had to also manually delete all of the certificate and key data, then I finally was able to see the option to select the RSA Encryption. All of that was being saved, even though I had...

    RT-AX88U and TCP smart bulbs

    Perhaps the protocol of the bulbs isn't compatible with the new router? I was at a friends office a couple of weeks ago and found that my ancient Toshiba laptop (2.4 GHz only, probably 12 years old) couldn't even see the SSID of the RT-AX86U Pro in his office. :( Made me wonder if the AX...

    CGNAT (Starlink service) and using Remote.it

    Another option that I've read about is Zero Tier. It is supposed to be able to get through CGNAT as well, and it's free for home use.

    Asuswrt-Merlin mirror site available

    Isn't the same true of most technical forums? Forums where the first reply to nearly every new thread is "You didn't search first!" soon fade away... :(

    AC68U UI Crashing occasionally

    Mine just runs a VPN server and saves traffic stats to a USB flash drive, and has guest wifi enabled.

    AC68U UI Crashing occasionally

    Another thread mentioned that turning off auto-checking for updates solved the problem. You'll find it at Administration -> Firmware Upgrade tab -> Scheduled check for new firmware availability. Set it to No. Mine would lose its mind pretty often but it's been great for the last week to week...

    Internet Connection Disconnects every 20 minutes for 3 seconds

    Plug a single computer directly into the ethernet port on your ISP's modem. Use that connection for a while. If the problem still exists, then your router is fine and you'll need to convince the ISP that it really is a problem with their equipment (assuming that the modem belongs to them) or...

    Anyone having issues with RT-AC68U_384.19_0.

    No problems here with the same hardware and firmware. The log page says that it's been up for 10 days 6 hour(s) 34 minute(s) 50 seconds. It currently reports that 19 clients are connected to it, most by wireless and a few wired.

    Anyone even gets anything counted on AiProtection?

    All zeros here for at least a couple of years now. :( RT-AC68U.

    How to get an MAC adress, and that IP?

    For Windows, tools like Angry IP Scanner will display network devices: https://angryip.org/

    Turn on VPN by homeautomation?

    You can enable a VPN Server 1) on a non-standard port 2) using certificates and 3) also require a username and password. If that doesn't keep your network secure then you need to stop doing things that attract the attention of 3-letter agencies. ;)

    How do I configure a switch so that the devices connected to it get IP from the router?

    IIRC, that switch comes configured as a standard switch. Just plug it in, connect the network cables and it should just all work. The switch will just pass traffic, including DHCP requests, and any reserved addresses on the LAN will be handed out as usual.

    WiFi is worse since updating RT-68AC to latest f/w

    Except that's a quite old wiki page. That utility is no longer updated and doesn't work properly with the latest versions of Merlin firmware. :(
