    Looking to install merlin firmware (coming from stock)

    Merlin relies Asus publishing their source code so he’s at their mercy as far as being able to incorporate any features they develop. My understanding is that trend is closed source so Merlin isn’t able to change any of that code. The Merlin specific security features i use are dns filtering...

    Question on DNS Settings

    Hello, Im curious about some of the DNS settings on my RT-AX88U. I've enable DoT to use CleanBrowsing's Security dns servers. I've got DNS filtering enabled in LAN settings and global filtering mode set to router. 1) What is the difference between DNS Server 1/2 and the servers listed in the...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 (and 384.13_6) are now available

    upgraded rt-ax88u (router) and rt-ax58u (aimesh node) both from 384.16 beta 3. Now i'm seeing that my wifi is restarting multiple times Apr 5 16:12:20 rc_service: cfg_server 1281:notify_rc restart_wireless Apr 5 16:12:20 custom_script: Running /jffs/scripts/service-event (args: restart...

    Tri-Band AC or Dual-Band AX for mesh?

    Looks like the ax58u is 2x2 vs 4x4 for the 88u. Is 4x4 on an aimesh node worth an extra $100? If money is no object, would an aimesh system perform any better if using the same model for all nodes?

    Tri-Band AC or Dual-Band AX for mesh?

    I know best case would be to run ap's over ethernet, but just curious if that's not really feasible, if a tri-band ac system with dedicated backhaul would be better or if a dual band over ax would be better? I prefer to have an asuswrt-merlin supported device at the edge for dns filtering...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    thanks for the tip on the dhcpc-event script. This seems to be related to my qos setup. I had adaptive qos on, manual bandwidth set at 95%, and fq_codel selected for queue discipline. Categories ordered by video streaming, web surfing, voip/instant messaging, others, file transferring, and...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    Thanks for the explanation. I’ll follow up with my ISP. My ip isn’t changing, it’s just renewing every 10 min. Outside of that, is there anything that would have changed in the firmware between 384.16 beta 1 and beta 2 that would have changed this behavior? I can’t pinpoint a direct correlation...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    initialize as in "Format JFFS partition at next boot" or something else? If format jffs partition, I just did that, went through and set up skynet again and am still seeing the 10 min restarts in the syslog

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    Since applying 384.16 beta2 over beta1, I've noticed a few odd issues. I've got an RT-AX88U. 1) Sporadically, the network map page doesn't fully populate. It doesn't load current upload/download bandwidth, doesn't show all 8 lan ports, even with a scrollbar, and doesn't load connected clients...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Is there a reason firehol level 1 isn’t included in the malware blocking lists by default? Thinking about adding it, but I see it’s 650 million ip’s vs 100,000. Is it too much for the hardware to process or too many false positives? thanks for the help!

    New Router + UTM

    Hello everyone. I’m new here so please forgive any etiquette faux pas. They are unintentional. I’ve got an ASUS RT-AC68R with merlin and a Pace 5628AC in pass through/DMZplus mode. If I connect to my routers Wi-Fi, I lose 25mbps on downloads vs connecting to my pace Wi-Fi. As far as I can...
