    Anyone using link aggregation?

    As long as you’re using layer 2 LACP it should work as long as the rest of the ethernet settings are the same (frame size, rate, etc...). When I briefly had the same router as you I was able to bond two NICs on MacOS where I used the on-board NIC and a USB 3 NIC. It actually worked better than...

    ASUSWRT no longer seeing LAN hosts

    Thanks, and sorry- I should have clarified what I meant by "working", which was really just me not noticing that it appeared that my hosts were showing up in the Network Map with the new network mask. It was just that those hosts happened to have same first three octets. The point is that...

    -Old- ASUSWRT bug forces netmask 255.255.255.0

    Thanks for responding, I was hoping that I would eventually hear from you on this issue since I have not had much luck either finding any info on this bug either here nor anywhere as I was not able to get any feedback on previous posts on the subject. I am glad that I was able to figure it out...

    -Old- ASUSWRT bug forces netmask 255.255.255.0

    Not sure if this is a bug in factory ASUSWRT or Merlin’s fork, but here goes: Having been a Merlin ASUSWRT user for years I was surprised that after a network renumbering that most of my hosts were not showing up in the network “map” (the host list) nor in the QOS inventory. I thought it was a...

    ASUSWRT no longer seeing LAN hosts

    For what it’s worth, I figured it would. I should let Merlin know. The firmware is basically hardwired to only handle a .24 Network. I had a .22 and only hosts with the same third octet show up in the host list or QOS activity. It otherwise functioned fine, but for whatever reason these...

    ASUSWRT no longer seeing LAN hosts

    Thank you, but actually name resolution works fine. It's only that most of my hosts are not appearing in the network map not the QOS activity. I have made a discovery while troubleshooting. What I thought was something to do with which devices were plugged into which ports on the router...

    ASUSWRT no longer seeing LAN hosts

    Well, I tried a number of different permutations using and not using eth port one as well as disconnected the one device that it saw to see what as in the network map and it came back completely empty. Something is definitely not right. [emoji20] Thanks for trying at least. Sent from my...

    ASUSWRT no longer seeing LAN hosts

    Oh, I was hoping that my not using it was the source of my woes. It sounds like you are saying just the opposite and I am running now the way you are running with LAN 1 unused. (Technically, a powered off device is plugged into it, which maybe is causing some weirdness, I guess, but that seems...

    ASUSWRT no longer seeing LAN hosts

    Funny you should mention that. I had another device plugged into it that is now powered down, and it was around the time I powered that device down that I noticed this problem. There may be a correlation. Why do you ask? EDIT: When looking to see what is connected under Tools, I am seeing all...

    ASUSWRT no longer seeing LAN hosts

    I previously posted this with nearly audible crickets, but that might be because I lacked sufficient background info about my setup. I rewrote the question to be more explicit in the hopes that it gets a response this time. Anyway, I noticed recently (and I am not sure if it correlated with a...

    Merlin ASUSWRT not seeing hosts on connected switches

    Haldo! I have about 2 dozen hosts on my network, half are on wireless and the other wired- most connect via two other switches that are uplinked to the RT-AC87U router. For some reason, all hosts which are not directly connected to the router no longer appear in the network map nor in the QOS...

    Merlin Firmware: .trx vs .w?

    Thanks for the detailed, step by step instructions. I’ll give it a whirl when I am back home in a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Merlin Firmware: .trx vs .w?

    Thanks. Also, it’s an RT-AC68U... a little dyslexia there. Clearly barking up the wrong tree with the wrong version there. Maybe a week of sleep will help... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Merlin Firmware: .trx vs .w?

    After trying Tomato on my RT-AC86U so I could try out the native VyperVPN client which seemed like it would be both powerful and fast, being that I could use Chameleon natively, I was soundly disappointed at how miserably that VPN client performed. It was so excruciatingly awful at how hideously...

    How To Build a Dual Router VPN Client Solution?

    How To Build a Dual Router VPN Client Solution?

    Hi, after getting no responses, I have to assume that my question was either too long, too incomprehensible, or missing key info to get a legit response. Or, maybe I didn't wait long enough. Either way, I haven't made a post like that before so if anyone has any suggestions on how I might make a...

    How To Build a Dual Router VPN Client Solution?

    Preamble I know there have been many permutations of questions regarding two-router setups in order to provide a router-base VPN tunnel that have already been posted, but I have not found a succinct guide on a holistic approach that explains the concepts as well as the general steps which would...

    Asus GT-AC5300?

    The GT-AC5300 is a dog's breakfast. I must have tried out about 6 different routers over the past month and it exhibited the most unreliable and bizarre behavior overall. I am sure that with decent firmware it'd be a great device, but since it's a kind of a developmental dead-end with hardware...
