    Need help with cert and DDNS...

    Are there any other free ones? I'm just playing around right now, don't want to pay for something I might not end up using.

    Need help with cert and DDNS...

    That stinks. I guess I'll just forget it for now.

    Need help with cert and DDNS...

    I've never used DDNS before so it's not that. There's no "secret_code" in the conf file. I masked out the MAC address (but did verify it was correct) and changed the password. The hostname is the actual one I'm using however. iterations = 1 provider update@asus.com { hostname =...

    Need help with cert and DDNS...

    I removed HTTPS management, reset it to HTTP. Removed the existing certificate (by clicking "None" under DDNS). Went through the whole process again and now the Status is stuck on "Authorizing".

    Need help with cert and DDNS...

    I originally setup 384.14 beta 2 on my RT-AC86U with a local self-signed certificate for managing from the LAN side via HTTPS. No issues there. However, now I want to enable DDNS and I'm having issues. Here's the log output: Dec 4 15:38:42 inadyn[485]: In-a-dyn version 2.5 -- Dynamic DNS...

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    He's been building OpenWRT for a while now and quit DD-WRT altogether a couple of months ago (that's why I'm here again). His builds for R7800 are pretty bare bones, it's not really "set it and forget it". After spending all the time learning DD-WRT I just didn't have the wherewithal to go...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 Beta is now available

    Next HW Acceleration it says "Runner: Enabled - Flow Cache: Enabled". Do I need to disable it? If so, where do I do that?

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 Beta is now available

    Newb question: Where does one verify NAT acceleration (CTF) is turned off? I've mounted a USB drive, set it as the save location for saving traffic history, and set "Enabled" on the Statistic tab of Traffic Analyzer. I just need to verify that CTF is off.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 Beta is now available

    Thanks man. I never would have found that since I don't use DDNS.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 Beta is now available

    I'm having an issue with HTTPS management on the RT-AC86U. I'm using Safari on an iMac running Catalina. When I first load up the router page, it gives me the standard prompt for self-signed certificates and I go through the process of accepting the cert and loading it into my keychain. Each...

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    Yeah I'm familiar with the propagation patterns - we have a single story house with no basement so the best place I've found it near the ceiling in the center of the house. I've tried just about every positioning test you can think of and high, center, with antennas vertical works best.

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    I finally got some time with nobody around so I could do the swap out. So far, I'm not seeing a lot of performance difference between the R7800 and RT-AC86U. If there's a drop-off, it's not readily noticeable. What is immediately noticeable is the difference between NG's firmware and Asus'...

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    I did DD-WRT for a few years, first on the WRT1900AC and then on the R7800. I actually bought the R7800 because Kong abandoned the WRT1900AC. Recently, he's decided to forego DD-WRT altogether in favor of OpenWRT. I want to go back to something that's more tightly coupled with the hardware...

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It's a great piece of hardware but firmware support just isn't great. Voxel's is the closest thing to good and even then, it's built on Netgear FW which is just awful.

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.72SF

    Just an FYI (you may already know this) but always enable hi-res buffer bloat. The regular test isn't a great indicator.

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.72SF

    I've been on DD-WRT for several years, going back to the WRT1900AC before the R7800. Invariably, the FW becomes unbundled from the hardware and I'm forced to move on. Really, it became about being tied to Kong, not DD-WRT and when he switched to OpenWRT, I decided to break the cycle and try...

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    True. However, I would also like to replace my R7800 if the testing goes well. The 66U is sizable step down from the R7800. I do appreciate the suggestion, though.

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    You are correct! :oops:

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    Thanks for that. I think I can make it work.

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    Thanks guys. I think for the money, I'll give the AC86U a shot. It's $100 cheaper than the 5300.
