    Feature Request: Running an OpenVPN Server in AP-mode

    Maybe I jumped the gun a bit. There is a DNS problem. I tried to add a DNS server using the Custom Configuration field (DNS addr), but I couldn't make it work nor with a public DNS server or using the ip-address of the firewall. Reaching the OpenVPN Server in the web gui in the first place was...

    Feature Request: Running an OpenVPN Server in AP-mode

    It does work. I went back to take a look at the port forwarding rule, and I noticed that I had put in the wrong port number 1195 instead of 1194. :D

    Feature Request: Running an OpenVPN Server in AP-mode

    This is a first attempt. Any ideas? The dates in the log from the iOS OpenVPN Client is out of whack, but that's nothing new. Time doesn't match ether. The DDNS is on the firewall, picking up the public ip-address for the OpenVPN client. 2019-50-20 00:50:38 ----- OpenVPN Start ----- OpenVPN...

    Feature Request: Running an OpenVPN Server in AP-mode

    If I understand you correctly, there are only a few changes to the web gui to make OpenVPN appear and work in AP-mode?

    Feature Request: Running an OpenVPN Server in AP-mode

    If memory serve me right, did Merlin implement OpenVPN into the Asuswrt code at a time when Asus only offered PPTP. An excerpt of the rt-n66u chengelog from 2012. 3.0.0.3.178.16 Beta: - NEW: (RT-N66U, RT-AC66U) Implemented OpenVPN, based on code written by Keith Moyer (from the...

    Feature Request: Running an OpenVPN Server in AP-mode

    A feature request to Asuswrt-Merlin branch I've got an rt-ac86u operating in AP-mode behind a firewall. It would be nice to be able to take advantage of the processing power of the rt-ac86u to run an OpenVPN Server on it, even if it's in AP-mode. Requirements that I can think of are a different...

    Is it the Web UI that's unaccessable? Through SSH # service restart_httpd

    Roaming Assist - Not working right??

    I think that the problem with roaming occurs in scenarios where the signal strength between two nodes are fairly strong. Homes come in all shapes and sizes and built with different materials. Some of which are less pervious to the WiFi frequency spectrums than others. The "Roaming Assistant"...

    Roaming Assist - Not working right??

    Roaming Assistant seems to work backwards. Instead of signal strength (a lower numeric negative value indicates a higher signal strength than a higher negative numeric value) its guided by the numeric value. Adjusting "Roaming Assistant" is like having a carrot on a stick where the stick grows...

    AC86U sometimes powers completely off during reboot

    You touched on a subject I've been thinking on for some time. A hardened version of Merlin, when indeed all bloatware has to go.

    AC86U sometimes powers completely off during reboot

    The very idea of a reset is to remove all settings from nvram. You have to turn it off after a reset and turn it back on again, just like you did. You are then presented with a wizard to set it up anew. I don't understand the point of "plug the power cable while the power button was on"? The...

    AC86U sometimes powers completely off during reboot

    How about comparing serial #, hardware versions, batch #. Anything that might create a pattern. Maybe some of them suffer from a bad batch of components, like capacitors of a certain value? Does devices with power bricks with US or European prongs stand out? If no pattern can be found, then it...

    AC86U sometimes powers completely off during reboot

    I think the ideal test scenario would be to completely isolate the ac86u from the power grid, like power it from a quality UPS. If it's on the power grid, events there will inevitably taint the results. Like the refrigerator in the kitchen to thunderstorms miles away and everything in between...

    AC86U sometimes powers completely off during reboot

    In a scenario where you have an old refrigerator with a mechanical thermostat kicking in now and then and the house is powered via overhead lines, then sensitive electronics will suffer.

    AC86U sometimes powers completely off during reboot

    If it's the power supply, why would a start be different to a restart? The power surge can't really be different. If the power supply is poorly filtered and you happen to have a brownout or some other kind of disturbance on the power grid at boot. A start should really be more disadvantages to a...

    r7000 vs ac68u component quality/build quality

    At a side by side comparison, they are basically identical hardware wise. https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/32239-ac1900-first-look-netgear-r7000-a-asus-rt-ac68u What really setts them apart, is their respective firmware. If you favor Asuswrt, you should go with the...

    AC86U sometimes powers completely off during reboot

    Just a thought. I wonder if it could have to do with the switch? The RT-AC86U uses a newer network switch... https://www.snbforums.com/threads/release-asuswrt-merlin-384-11-is-available.56501/page-38#post-492128 Must be something hardware specific...
