    Adding an AIMesh Node - why is this so hard?!?

    I have zero success with initializing aimesh units with ethernet connected. Wireless always works, it just takes patience. 1) factory reset the aimesh unit (power on /w wifi button pressed - some models are different) 2) reset the aimesh unit using the reset button. 3) place the aimesh unit...

    Out of Memory Errors 388.1 / No space left on device [SOLUTIONS]

    AX88/388.1 FW: So, I'm going to jump on this bandwagon. I had upgraded to 388.1, and a few days later I couldn't hold an ISP connection. First I blamed the ISP, but their diagnostics showed nothing, so I looked inward. I decided that a maybe a dirty upgrade to 388.1 was the cause, so I bit the...

    AiMesh & Asuswrt-Merlin

    I can certainly understand the angst with AIMESH; initial connection can be very frustrating. The reasons I keep using it is; 1) my aimesh uses the older Asus routers I have on hand after upgrading over time, 2) the unbeatable Merlin firmware w/AMTM on the MAIN router (so I remain on the Asus...

    How to force all DNS requests through pihole?

    Thanks! I finally have pihole working on my network. For me, it was ignoring the "Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS" should be set to NO" step. I was also quite confused about the WAN setting. I really didn't understand that the initial WAN setting is used (and NEEDED for...

    Issue adding ZenWifi XD6S AIMESH Node to Gt AXE16000 under 388.1 firmware

    Slightly off topic, but I'm running an ax88 using Merlin 388.1 FW with three older ac model routers in aimesh. The aimesh has become very unstable lately, and more so when I upgraded two of the mesh units to the latest Merlin AC FW (which has a newer non-public Asus FW). The ac88 would actually...

    Packet State for 2022

    Thanks! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I have four Asus routers happily working in mesh only because Merlin software led me to Asus and kept me there. Fantastic support even for pretty old models.

    Solved Pihole DNS Server

    Okay, this thread says "solved," but I've read the entries twice and I remain confused. I have stopped using pihole because: 1. As stated, you cannot put the pihole address in the wan setting. 2. Without a wan DNS setting, the router (with latest software), at least in my experience, just...

    Getting Ready for Black Friday - But Confused (Again)

    So, I'm looking for a new AX router, and I noticed that two routers share the AX6000 identifier: 1. ASUS AX6000 WiFi 6 Gaming Router (RT-AX89X) 2. ASUS ROG Rapture WiFi 6 AX Gaming Router (GT-AX6000) Looking at Merlin's download page, am I correct in understanding that Merlin supports #2 but...

    Thanks for your fast reply. It seems I have a failing port on my AX88. Should have thought of that before posting.

    [Dev] Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 development

    Ax88/Firmware: 388.1_alpha1-g0ca7941c3e Update: Oops! I switched ports and it started working fine. Looks like I have a failing port on my AX88. Sorry for the post. So I toook the plunge and upgraded to 388.1. Oddly, my computer could not connect using the wired connection - I had to use...

    [Dev] Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 development

    I have an AX88 with three (much) older AC units being used for AImesh. Will this code split have any affect on mixing AX and AC units in an AImesh scenario?

    RTRMON RTRMON v1.6.9 -May 3, 2024- Monitor your Router's Health (New: AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest) [NEW THREAD OPENED]

    I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but this app is suppose to save time by collecting important info in one spot. Whenever I connect, I have to look at your directions in order to start it up. I just want to be able to ssh and type rtrmon (yes, I can scroll the history if I haven't been...

    AX88/386.8: This update is providing the best wifi experience I've had with this router. Thanks Merlin.

    RTRMON RTRMON v1.6.9 -May 3, 2024- Monitor your Router's Health (New: AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest) [NEW THREAD OPENED]

    AX88/386.8: Nice summary - thanks for the software! But, ... When I run "sh /jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh -screen" it dumps me back to the prompt. When I run "sh /jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh -screen" the second time it says "an instance is running - would you like to connect?," and it does No big deal...

    How Did This Happen? DNS Question.

    Gets even odder: ------------------ Quad9 utilizes multiple network providers in our global network. When running a DNS leak test, or determining the IP address which is used to perform the recursive DNS query using a test like: dig +short A whoami.akamai.net it's expected to see IP addresses...

    How Did This Happen? DNS Question.

    Never mind. I'm in the middle of switching to another ISP and was actually able to switch from ATT to the other ISP. Once on the other ISP, those entries disappeared and I'm seeing only what I expected. I'm in passthrough mode on the ATT router, and maybe leaks on the 192.168 address it provides...

    How Did This Happen? DNS Question.

    AX88 with 386.8 B2: So, I was just checking things after upgrading to Beta2 and I have these DNS servers listed (along with the cloudflare I expected) when doing a leak test. 203.17.244.34 None GSL Networks Pty Amsterdam, Netherlands 203.17.244.36 None GSL Networks Pty Amsterdam, Netherland...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    AX88 using 386.7_2: Changing ISPs and had a chance to check IPV6 in two different modes, AT&T native and Hurricane Electric (new ISP doesn't have native yet). Both worked great with DoT installed (even HE, their DNS server finally handles DNSSEC), and as an aside, the HE DDNS tunnel worked fine...
