    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    Crossed over the 22 hour mark with no issues using repeater mode. It certainly appears that whatever bugs exist in MB mode do not exist in repeater; now if only it would be possible to use repeater mode and disable the wireless SSID (not hiding as that would still show hidden network), which is...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    WDS science experiment over as it ground to a crawl. Trying Repeater mode to see if it is stable compared to MB, very small sample size of less than 15 minutes is good so far and although it is not appearing to function as a transparent bridge, Diversion does seem to work as I get the dogs on...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    Had to defer testing until tonight; AC86U router with AC68P in AP mode with WDS does function as a transparent bridge, but my goodness is it slow! I'm talking going from ~100Mbps over 2.4 GHz on 20 Mhz single channel to ~20Mbps with WDS with the AP in WDS only mode. I am going to test...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    I will report back later after testing it out; I've decided to reload 384.9 on the AC68P I'm using as a DD-WRT client bridge and will try out WDS. I'm only running on 2.4 GHz on a single 20 MHz channel and won't be connecting any wireless devices on the MB, so may be able to negate the...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    I loaded 384.9 in MB mode last week, but after about 12 hours, DHCP stopped functioning for clients connected through the MB (using an AP connected through one of the LAN ports to extend wireless on unique channels). This was consistent with all versions prior and is reportedly an issue with...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    Yes; however I now believe this is not specifically an Asus issue and more of a transparent client bridge issue that can negatively affect stability. Short version, the Asus implementation of Media Bridge attempts to be a transparent bridge (ARP-NAT), where the clients connected beyond the MB...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    Erik, I went down the Rabbit hole over the past week... First and foremost, 384.9 is awesome and very stable in my use when removing variables that I personally inject. I have about 35 clients connecting across a client (media) bridge with an AP to repeat on non-conflicting channels. With...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    384.9 has been running great on my AC86U and AC3200. I tested yesterday switching my AC68P Media Bridge from DD-WRT to 384.9 after performing a firmware recovery; however, the DHCP issue still exists where clients cannot obtain the DHCP address although the router is offering. This is a...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 Beta is now available

    I've had rock solid stability since loading 384.9 Alpha through Beta on my AC86U Router <--> AC68P (DD-WRT MB) <--> AC3200 (AP). The AC68U and AC3200 are on the current Beta and the only "issue" is that the AC3200 shows the red X and disconnected for AP mode on the main page; since everything...

    Repeater DHCP Issues

    I wasn't getting anywhere with the Asus code (stock or Merlin) as a Media Bridge. I went back to using my EA-N66U MB and it worked, but had security risk due to age and no further support, along with the issue where the router doesn't see devices individually, affecting QOS, reporting (e.g. in...

    [384.8_Alpha - builds] Testing all variants.

    Just adding input, no issues on 384.8 Alpha at all. Everything functioning fine including no restarts needed with use of my media bridge/AP setup.

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    I just bit the bullet and purchased the RP-AC68U to see if it works without the DHCP issue and possibly restoring the functionality with pixelserv-tls that I had running the RT-AC68P in MB mode. If it doesn't work, at least I'll know and be able to add input here on functionality with more...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    Yeah, I know it isn't related to pixelserv-tls, however thought you might find it interesting that slu increases though functionality appears intact. I think it has to do with the dedicated MB showing all clients as one to the router. It's as if the clients still get the block or perhaps just...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    Yes, MB refers to Media Bridge mode. For reference, I have used both an AC-66R, AC-68P running both ASUS stock and Merlin firmware with the DHCP issues. For whatever reason the dedicated EA-N66R doesn't have the issue at all, but is a security risk, not supporting HTTPS for the management page...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    @kvic and @RMerlin, I have an interesting challenge that I'm hoping one of you may be able to shed light on. With my network setup as follows: AC86U Router <--> AC68P MB <--> AC3200 AP I experience well reported DHCP issues where clients are frequently and intermittently unable to obtain an IP...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.6 is now available

    Working well so far on my AC86U, AC68P, and AC3200.

    Repeater DHCP Issues

    Ok, good news from a troubleshooting perspective, the issue surfaced this morning with my Surface Book after resuming from sleep where it didn't have an IP and couldn't obtain one. I stopped all applications on the SB, ran to another computer and was able to start network captures on the SB...

    Repeater DHCP Issues

    Ok, I just got tcpdump installed to the AP and immediately notice that the amount of DHCP occurrences is far greater than that on the MB and router, by a huge amount! In the past 1-2 min, I see 140 occurrences, where it took 15-20 minutes for the same amount on the other devices. This will be...
