    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    All looking good coming from beta 3 on AC86U.

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    Just received my AC86U and set up with 384.4 Beta 2 with no issues. Over a very far distance I found that the antennas in the W shape was significantly better than that in the upright E shape. I'm pushing the extents here with 2.4 GHz 20 MHz over 300' away (across the street) to a EA-N66...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    And that's how you get me to find a nice refurbished AC86U from Newegg and click order without hesitation. ;)

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    Upgraded my AC68P from 380.69 to 384.4 and did a factory reset per guidance. Setup went smooth and was able to leverage AMTM to install AB-Solution, Entware, PixelServ, Skynet, DNSCrypt, OpenVPN (PIA @ SHA256), and AIProtection\Network Protection. Everything is working perfectly following some...

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    I've been using 380.65_2 with PIA with AB-Solution and DNSCrypt without issue. I have gone a week stable with 2048-bit encryption. My distance and media-bridge means that the speed loss is a non-factor and I value stability above all in this case.

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    3.8 is working great on my AC68U and I really appreciate the updates to this version.

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    So very odd as having those two options in additional config don't make a difference in my case. AB-Solution is working with Exclusive as mentioned following implementation of OpenDNS. There appear to be too many variables to isolate at this point, however it is working perfectly with 3 days...

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    I think I answered myself after reading further on here: My question is whether it is expected that OpenDNS is used even when Accept DNS Configuration is set to Exclusive or if I should be seeing the PIA VPN DNS instead? If it should show as PIA VPN, any thoughts what might be configured...

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    I followed this thread and was able to get a good configuration of PIA OpenVPN with Merlin 380.65_2, however had noticed a number of things. First, in speaking with PIA support, I inquired about the persist custom configurations and they provided the following detail: The persist options (...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    You are correct in that I meant 374. My initial tests showed a peak transfer speed of 70Mbps, which was about 15Mbps quicker than my prior tests, however it could have been other factors involved as well. I haven't been able to hit that and am closer to my prior tests since. I am more...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    I only had one anomaly in the past day plus, which I am not sure was the same DHCP issue (time will tell). I did also move my AC68P to the Merlin fork and have some benchmark numbers that show an improvement in performance overall. That said, I am still using John's fork on my N66 to boost the...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Interesting, so it is possible that using the Merlin firmware, which is on 380.64 is worthwhile for the media bridge router scenario. It keeps me on the custom firmware, which is beneficial for other needed functionality, and has changes (hopefully improvements, especially with the issue I was...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    I had 3 occurrences today so decided to take a baby step to test with. The AC66 (MB) in the middle I loaded Merlin's latest fork, reset completely using the power on with WPS button method, and configured from scratch. So far, so good, and it is neat to be able to configure from the Android...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    I have the DG for both the media bridge and the AP as the first router (.1) and as the WAN for the router connected to the internet. It seems odd that everything works as long as I reboot the media bridge alone and that it remains connected the whole time. I tried swapping the order of the...

    Horrible paint drawing attached. The top is the old setup with the pyramid shaped media bridge in the middle, which the bottom is the AC66 in the middle.

    Hey John, not sure if this is the best thread for my question, and I will move it to another if necessary, however considering it is with 3 routers on your fork, I figured you might be best for input. Short version is that I had 2 routers and a media bridge; N66 broadcasting 2.4GHz, 20MHz on...

    Is it a safe assessment that this only applies to the AC68 and not AC66 or N66? I have the latter two with CFE 1.0.1.4 and 1.0.1.3 respectively, but have been updating through your releases for years now all the way to the current 18e1 and this is the first time I paid attention to the CFE and...

    Yes, Comcrap and I have seen the same IPv6 delays previously on reboot, but this time I updated my two routers and suspect the main N66 already pulled the IPv6 address before I tested since the AC66 was updating thereafter for ~3min.

    The official v7 is working fine here, just like the beta did. IPv6 is fully functional and it's good to know that there is no longer an issue with the admin being renamed.

    I took it one step further and changed the admin on both the N66 and AC66 with no impact on IPv6. It just works! Thank you again.
