    Blackfin firmware loading

    AX-86U running Merlin 386.2_2. Found my Router was not providing internet connection over WiFi. I could log in to the Router GUI, and the router stated internet connection was up/working. Did a power-off manual reboot and all good. Looking at the logs for failure, this happens nine hours...

    OpenVPN can access router, but not local shares on lan, what am I doing wrong?

    For the original poster, I got something similar working on two Merlin enabled routers (thanks to xtv for describing avahi) https://www.snbforums.com/threads/creating-a-service-with-merlin-avahi-daemon-invalid-host-name.72111/#post-684744 Requires confidence working on the command line through...

    creating a service with Merlin Avahi daemon : invalid host name (FIXED)

    Got this working over my two OPVN connected Merlin routers for remote connections to two home NAS devices supporting SMB and TimeMachine. Two routers are running Merlin 386.2_2: home router AX-86U with Domain Name "lan" has NAS and OVPN server set up for LAN only. remote router AC-66U_B1 with...

    creating a service with Merlin Avahi daemon : invalid host name (FIXED)

    Creating a hosts. file in /usr/tmp/avahi, and .service file in the /usr/tmp/avahi/services folder then restarting the mDNS service is successful with a NAS SMB service on another subnet: the service group name then appears in the network folder in Mac - which is great. Then clicking on this...

    creating a service with Merlin Avahi daemon : invalid host name (FIXED)

    reading a bit more, I should try creating a hosts file in /tmp/avahi that would contain the static IP and host names like this: 192.168.1.10 HPprinter.lan 192.168.1.11 Mac.lan Then use these host names in the service xml files. I'll try this next. (I know there is a hosts file in /etc...

    creating a service with Merlin Avahi daemon : invalid host name (FIXED)

    Asus AC-66U_B1 flashed with Merlin 386.2_2 I'm trying services (printer, Mac share, smb; all on a different subnet than the router's IP pool) with the stock Merlin Avahi daemon by creating .service files in the /tmp/avahi/services folder. After restarting the avahi daemon with service...

    OpenVPN can access router, but not local shares on lan, what am I doing wrong?

    Fantastic answer - thank you. I tried a few things, and find Merlin's stock avahi daemon does not function as hoped : - I tried setting up a service for a networked printer on a subnet, this printer IP is "ping-able" from the remote router ssh command line and from a remotely connected...

    OpenVPN can access router, but not local shares on lan, what am I doing wrong?

    Interested in avahi: I found an avahi daemon running on my Merlin flashed router. admin@RT-AC66U_B1-8300:/tmp/home/root# ps w | grep avahi 808 nobody 1544 S avahi-daemon: running [RT-AC66U_B1-8300.local] 32207 admin 4660 D grep avahi admin@RT-AC66U_B1-8300:/tmp/home/root# Is this...

    OpenVPN can access router, but not local shares on lan, what am I doing wrong?

    +1: on a "remote" Mac I cannot see network shares on the "home" network, nor will remote Time Machine backups run on home NAS. My home network is an AX86U with an OVPN server (LAN only), and my remote network is an AC-66U_B1 with OVPN client connected to the home network OVPN server. I can...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    I had similar issue with several remote clients connecting simultaneously to OpenVPN Server with UDP 1194: what worked for me was to add an extra line to the OpenVPN Server custom configuration (link): username-as-common-name Hit Apply, and export the new .ovpn configuration and use in the...

    VPN instructions for a newbie

    Thank you for this incredibly helpful post: working through helped my remote working setup: 1) home VPN Servers on an AX-86U with 100/15 2) remote VPN Client on AC-66U_B1 (connected through LAN to the remote router; for WiFi devices without a native VPN client) or remote VPN clients on Apple...

    DNS-over-TLS (NextDNS) & OpenVPN

    This is interesting. I'm using DoT with Clouflare 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. After this change to make DoT queries go through a tunnel (OpenVPN to a local NordVPN server in my case) I see the trace route does not use my ISP as before. The trace route is slower in my case but seems acceptable for...

    VPN Server: multiple remote users at the same IP address?

    Thank you kind sir! I did as you bid to the custom config: then exported the updated OpenVPN configuration file to several devices, each with a unique username and password, and everything connected fine at the same time. Really helpful.

    What are these scripts for routers, how do I install them on the AX88U, which ones are best?

    Scripts to manage Adaptive QoS (FreshQoS replaced by FlexQoS) were very helpful for working with only 25Mbps internet service bandwidth during the start of lockdown and work from home. Need for scripts depend on circumstances.
