    Known Hosts Configuration for RT-AC66U

    Very good point. Absolutely worth a good testing before cutting-over to the new router. First test with a Pantech UML290 on Verizon (US). It's easy to think the Asus doesn't work with a particular modem because the settings are so critical, so I'm posting screenshots just in case someone...

    Known Hosts Configuration for RT-AC66U

    I'm going to give the GUI route a shot as outlined by ColinTaylor. I appreciate the heads-up on the hosts.add approach though -- it may come in handy if I want to have more than one alternate Hostname. BTW, I checked out your website and I really like what you've done with router-based ad...

    Known Hosts Configuration for RT-AC66U

    Cool. You gotta love AsusWRT-Merlin (many, many thanks RMerlin)! Thanks for clueing me in ColinTaylor. I think I just lost my last reason for staying with my Cradlepoint. :)

    Known Hosts Configuration for RT-AC66U

    So the Hostname in the manual DHCP assignment section doesn't need to be the actual Hostname (if one exists), but rather can be any name you'd like to use? The MAC address is all that's used for the actual IP reservation? The device's broadcast Hostname will still be resolved too if the router...

    Known Hosts Configuration for RT-AC66U

    I'm considering moving to an RT-AC66U, running AsusWRT-Merlin, as my primary router in place of a Cradlepoint MBR1400. About half the year I'm connected via Ethernet and the other half using one of several USB Modems. There are some things I'll miss about the MBR1400, but I want to be able to...

    Tutorial How to setup a VPN Server with Asus routers 380.68 updated 08.24

    OK, I figured out what was going wrong. Somehow only my Certificate Authority and not my Client Certificate or my Client Key got loaded in when I uploaded my .ovpn file to the client router. It's the same one I used to test the stand-alone Windows OpenVPN client -- so all the keys and...

    Tutorial How to setup a VPN Server with Asus routers 380.68 updated 08.24

    Sorry I was wrong -- the errors were on the server side not the client side, and they're still the same as my original post: Aug 11 09:58:05 openvpn[5298]: ###.###.###.### TLS: Initial packet from [AF_INET6]::ffff:###.###.###.###:47407, sid=xx#xxx#x x####### Aug 11 09:58:05 openvpn[5298]...

    Tutorial How to setup a VPN Server with Asus routers 380.68 updated 08.24

    Much closer! VPN status still shows as "Connecting...", but the OpenSSL and TLS errors are gone. Here's the log from the client side Asus: Aug 12 09:20:23 openvpn[17328]: OpenVPN 2.4.3 arm-unknown-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Jul 16 2017 Aug 12...

    Site to site client with same ip

    If it's a friend that you might be visiting often in the future, then it might make sense for one of you to change the subnet you're using to eliminate the IP conflict. Perhaps to something more obscure with less chance of anyone using the same IP address range. That doesn't address the...

    Tutorial How to setup a VPN Server with Asus routers 380.68 updated 08.24

    I'm trying to establish an OpenVPN using Asus routers on each end. I'm using the latest AsusWRT-Merlin firmware on each (380.67). I had no problem setting up either the server or the client, initially using the default settings, and later trying it using the settings outlined at the beginning...
