    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8 beta is now available

    Indeed, thank you for all your hard work. I've not been using your firmware for some time as I moved over to using pfSense and Palo-Alto firewalls but due to the impossible nature of NATv4 and a single public IP-address it was impossible to use it with multiple gaming PC's and consoles. I...

    what happens if I disable UPnP?

    The source of the misconception is the fact that people for some reason misinterpret NAT as some kind of firewall or security feature when it's clearly not and was never designed to be such a thing. NAT (or NATv4 as it's being referred to these days) was something we was forced to start using...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8 beta is now available

    Decided to another test, where I just told the Adaptive QoS that my bandwidth is 1000/1000 mbps to ensure that it shouldn't really be trying to do much as I'm way below my maximum threshold when using 500/500 mbit and I have the exact same results; So clearly there is something that limits...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8 beta is now available

    So I decided to play around with QoS. I enabled Adaptive QoS with custom settings. I choose fq_codel Ethernet VLAN (4) for my GPON Fiber 500/500 mbit Internet connection and was using the preset for gaming with bandwidth set to 475/475 mbit. These are my results; Without QoS: With QoS: I...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8 beta is now available

    The option of selecting fq_codel is there, but I don't use QoS myself so I haven't tested it.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8 beta is now available

    Seems to be working good so far on the RT-AX88U, Full-Cone-NAT is working as well.

    UPnP not working with AC68 and Xbox One

    Technicolor 789vac v2 supports bridge mode, there is no "custom" firmware from your ISP it's just locked down so you don't have access to many of the more advanced settings in order to make sure end-users don't ruin their networks and connections due to them trying to play smart. The firmware is...

    UPnP not working with AC68 and Xbox One

    You shouldn't be allowing 1-65535 on internal ports, then you are just begging for something to hug port 80 for instance or 443 and cause HTTP/HTTPS from internal clients to not work. Stay with 1024-65535 for internal ports range. As mentioned above, the latest version of miniupnpd is having...

    [384.8_Alpha - builds] Testing all variants.

    Doesn't AsusWRT have a character limit of 16? I for sure can't use my regular password algorithm which would be 17 characters so I had to change it up for my AsusWRT devices. EDIT: This is only for the administrative/system login for some reason. I have 21 characters in the WiFi password. I...

    [Preview] RT-AX88U public test builds

    Seems to be working solid so far. Any plans on adding the Full-Cone-NAT feature to the WebUI?

    RT-AX88U Merlin support?

    How is it with the kernel of the RT-AX88 in terms of supporting Full Cone NAT? Will it remain a exclusive feature on the RT-AC86U or is this new kernel featuring the same options so you will be able to activate Full Cone NAT?

    AsusWRT and AsusWRT-Merlin and Open NAT Filtration (aka Full-Cone-NAT) only on Asus RT-AC86U?

    Great, then I will drop my plans of getting the Netgear XR500 and just get the Asus RT-AC86U instead.

    AsusWRT and AsusWRT-Merlin and Open NAT Filtration (aka Full-Cone-NAT) only on Asus RT-AC86U?

    What's the current status of AsusWRT and Merlin firmware in terms of supporting Full Cone NAT / Open NAT Filtration? I noticed in the feature overview that you mention; "Full cone NAT support (RT-AC86U only)" which sounds great. But what is the reason for this only being available on this...

    Google WiFi Reviewed

    Seems like my honeymoon period with Google WiFi has come to an end. Its a real pain in the but to troubleshoot when something goes wonky as the app doesn't really give you anything. It seems like my Google WiFi is just incapable of handling my local network load. I keep having lots of packet...

    ASUS Makes AiMesh Official

    Okay. So after much trouble it seems like one of my switches needed to be rebooted. Now I'm seeing much more sensible performance numbers and for some reason I'm finally able to get my RT-AC68U using wired backhaul instead of wireless. The steering between 2.4GHz an 5.0GHz doesn't seem to be all...

    ASUS Makes AiMesh Official

    Even after going into more config and selecting Ethernet instead of Auto its still reporting connection type: wireless... This is with the RT-AC68U connected directly into the LAN-port on my RT-AC5300U. Rebooting doesn't do anything either.

    ASUS Makes AiMesh Official

    I think you misunderstood. I added the second node (RT-AC68) like you described, but I manually changed my primary from being AiMesh Router (NAT) to AiMesh Access Point (No-NAT) afterwards.

    ASUS Makes AiMesh Official

    Okay, I did some testing using the latest AiMesh firmware for my Asus RT-AC5300 and Asus RT-AC68U. I'm currently using Google WiFi and I'm very pleased with it, but DNS Rebinding is making it impossible for me to use my local Plex-server without routing everything over my external connection...

    ASUS Makes AiMesh Official

    Is there any way to tell what access point a client is connected to? I would like to monitor and test the hand-off between nodes and see if it actually does anything in order to make sure the client moves from one access point to the other or not.

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.10007 for All Supported Products

    So does AiMesh have any sort of seamless roaming? Both Google WiFi and Eero seems to do a great job at steering devices from node to node without any issues.
