    Having trouble setting dns servers

    Ok tried that and this uselsss router has decided yet again to completely ignore any of my settings and has reverted to showing both my vpn dns and my isp dns.....and NEITHER of the 2 ad blocking ones I have told it to use via push/dhcp-option. I give up. Doesn';t matter what I do it randomly...

    Having trouble setting dns servers

    Ok so the reboot fixed being able to set the ad blocking dns properly....the problem I have is that despite having my pc routed over the vpn, and having policy rules set to strict, the dns requests are completely bypassing the vpn. What I need it to do is still route ALL my traffic over the vpn...

    Having trouble setting dns servers

    Ok I rebooted the router and that seems to have sorted it so far. Now I have lan dns filter off, vpn accept dns set to disable and the 2 ad blockers under dns over tls on wan and those are the only 2 showing up in tests so far.

    Having trouble setting dns servers

    yep both empty. I think it is vpn related because on my android phone connecting to the same router but not routed via the vpn I get just the 2 ad blocking dns and never the vpn one. On the pc which I have assigned a static ip and routed through the vpn, sometimes I get ONLY the vpn one...

    Having trouble setting dns servers

    That looks like it might have done it, its now showing the 2 dns servers that are not the vpn one. hmmm no spoke too soon, the vpn one has popped up again! No its finding nothing but the vpn one again! It seems to vary wildly, one minute its showing all 3, then just the vpn one and sometimes...

    Having trouble setting dns servers

    I am running latest merlin, AC86U, win10 and am connected via openvpn on the router. I am trying to add a DoT add blocking dns (nextdns) but no matter what I do it seems to keep showing my vpn dns server as well as the 2 from nextcloud, so it randomly uses that one instead of only the ad...

    Odd wifi problem with Galaxy S8+ and play store (amongst others)

    Ok I have solved it. sort of. I have package disabler pro to disable a bunch of crap and bloatware. I decided to try and re-enable everything and see if that made any difference. At first it seemed to make no difference but I was wondering what effect leaving everything on would have on my...

    Odd wifi problem with Galaxy S8+ and play store (amongst others)

    No its not that, my 2ghz is set to 20mhz anyway and it still does it. Just noticed as well that when first turning the phone on, if I am on wifi, skype will not connect. If i disable wifi, it connects straight away, and if i re-enable wifi, it will then seemingly stay connected just fine...

    Odd wifi problem with Galaxy S8+ and play store (amongst others)

    Seems to be a different problem, I CAN connect to google servers. Tried it anyway but it made no difference :mad:

    Odd wifi problem with Galaxy S8+ and play store (amongst others)

    tested. its definitely not dns, the router has been rebooted multiple times as this has been going on as long as i can remember. ssid is plain text, it happens on 2ghz and 5ghz which have different ssid's and forgetting it made no diff. android cache wiped. Just did a full network reset on...

    Odd wifi problem with Galaxy S8+ and play store (amongst others)

    nah none of that makes any diff. its not ssid related. I have no clue. seems like I am stuck with it until I get a new phone (although I am pretty sue my old s5 did the same thing on my old AC68U).

    Odd wifi problem with Galaxy S8+ and play store (amongst others)

    Nope made no difference. went to play store to update a 6mb app, it sat on "downloading" for 30 seconds or so, then got as far as 6.80 out of 6.82 and stopped dead, took over a minute to get to 6.81 and another to finish. Same pattern with every update. This download should take 1 second with...

    Odd wifi problem with Galaxy S8+ and play store (amongst others)

    I will try that tonight, I didn't do it from recovery before though, just in the app propertties under storage.

    Odd wifi problem with Galaxy S8+ and play store (amongst others)

    Nope just plain old Merlin, no ad blocking, no aiprotection, no QoS. DNS specifically set to my ISP's servers rather than automatic. The issue still happens when routing the phone via the vpn which uses the vpn providers dns set to exclusive, and I have tried manually setting it to a different...

    Odd wifi problem with Galaxy S8+ and play store (amongst others)

    AC86U, latest Merlin, and S8+ with latest firmware (but this has been a problem for quite some time). I have a very odd problem on my phone where trying to download anything from the play store is very slow and stops and starts a lot. I also have an issue with 1 or 2 other apps that seem to...

    OpenVPN performance of the RT-AC86U

    Got my AC86 a couple of weeks ago and I consistently get the full 220mb download on my 220mb connection over openvpn client 1, AES256-GCM. CPU was about 85% and 65% for the 2 cores I think so it feels like it could do more. No special settings, aiprotection is on, I have not set anything to do...

    downloads recorded as uploads for any devices using the openvpn client?

    damn, oh well, maybe some day they will get off their arses and fix it!

    downloads recorded as uploads for any devices using the openvpn client?

    On an AC86u with 384.4_2 but this also used to happen on my AC68u with older firmwares and is nothing new. Just wondering if I can fix it somehow as I have several devices set to use openvpn and on all of them it shows all downloads as "upload" figures in the traffic analyser and on the...

    AC68U vs AC3100 vs AC86U wifi testing

    May be me being stupid but I have an AC68U in the UK and can only select 5ghz channels up to 140. I am using Merlins latest fw. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? Looking at a new router for better wireless coverage as the AC68u isn't great in our house, so the AC86u, looks like the...

    Considering R7800, coming from Merlin AC68U

    How easy is it on Voxels firmware to get the sort of split tunnelling that Merlins firmware has on the asus models, where you can quickly and easily have specific ip's go via the vpn while leaving others outside it? Does wireguard work on Voxels? I am still deciding. I am sure performance is...
