    Way to block devices from reaching out to google dns on AC68u?

    Make sure in LAN-DHCP Server you have both of your PiHoles IPs as the DNS Servers and Apply. Then in LAN-DNSFilter turn it on, set the filter mode to Router, and create exceptions for both Pis MAC addresses with the Filter Mode set to No Filtering. So your devices that accept the DHCP DNS...

    Repeated errors in log AC86U 384.19

    I have dug through my logs, and I don't see the errors anymore. The 2 big changes I have made are updating to 386.2_2 and uninstalling Diversion. When I uninstalled Diversion I don't believe I removed the Entware packages.

    DNS with Instant Guard

    I just set the ipsec server to point DNS to my PiHole, disconnected from wifi, connected the InstantGuard VPN connection, then did an adguard test. The problem is solved. Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction. So if anyone else runs across this in the future, login to your...

    Thanks for the info.

    DNS with Instant Guard

    If you are using Instant Guard, while away from your home network, will your DNS requests use the DNS server specified in your routers LAN settings? The reason I ask is because I use PiHole on my home network, but I see a lot of ads when using Instant Guard. I am not seeing my phone in the...

    Instant Guard "User Authentication Failed"

    I have the router app, but I don't use it too much. I used it to install Instant Guard the first time, and I let Instant Guard setup the DDNS through Asus.

    Instant Guard "User Authentication Failed"

    I am on Android 11 with a OnePlus 7 Pro. My router is a AC86U running Merlin's 386.2_2. When I first started using Instant Guard I had a lot of issues. A couple weeks ago I did a full wipe on my router and phone, and that cleared up most of the issues I had with Instant Guard. I am still...

    AiProtection: GUI always shows 0

    Thanks for the help again. My logging is working again. It's things like this that make me glad I picked this router and joined this community.

    Repeated errors in log AC86U 384.19

    I tried to turn AIProtection back on after the 386.1 update. I am still seeing the same errors. So it looks like the same bug is still in the Trend Micro stuff on the 386 codebase.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I did a dirty flash from 384.19 on an AC86U. Everything went smooth and seems to be working well. I didn't have to wait for the web interface to come back afterwards. I had done a full wipe and rebuild on it a week or 2 ago, so that might be why.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I bought these, and used some double sided adhesive to attach them to the back of the router. The USB 2 port powers them, so there's not another power point needed. I went with these larger fans, as I tried several smaller ones, but they were annoyingly loud. They are quiet enough I can't...

    Repeated errors in log AC86U 384.19

    Disabling the AIProtection alone didn't do it. I had to go ahead and withdraw from the TrendMicro agreement in the Admin/Privacy tab. Since then no errors. I might turn those back on, since TrendMicro is also behind the AdaptiveQoS and Parental Controls. I am going to give it a little time...

    Repeated errors in log AC86U 384.19

    I can do that. I turned it off 20 minutes ago, so I will follow up tomorrow after it has had 24 hours.

    Repeated errors in log AC86U 384.19

    Thank you very much for the info. With as long as those errors were, I wasn't sure what to search for. "DCD Tainted" is pulling up plenty of results. I run AI Protection, Skynet, and Diversion. I am pretty sure I didn't start seeing these until I retired my PiHole and switched to Diversion...

    Repeated errors in log AC86U 384.19

    I keep getting the errors I pasted below in my log. I noticed them starting a few weeks ago. I am not seeing any pattern to events preceding the errors or following the errors. They aren't happening at consistent times. Does anyone have any ideas? I did do a WPS NVRAM reset, formatting USB...

    Printer not commicating with router

    You can also try to ping the printer IP address or access the printers web page using the IP address that the router shows for the printer. If that works then you know your computer is having 2 way communication with the printer. I have seen a lot of printer setup utilities use weird ports...

    Printer not commicating with router

    Just to confirm. Are you able to print a Windows test page on the printer over WiFi when you have the USB cable disconnected from the printer? Did you try to install the printer on your computer using the built in Windows utility instead of the HP utility?
