    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    I have an issue since I started using Asuswrt (but might be nothing to do with it and I just had avoided it before). I have a NAS that connects to the router via an ASUS WiFi bridge (PCE-AC68, so it connects via 1Gb Ethernet then gets something like a 900Mbps WiFi link, much more than using any...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    I have this issue which has only occurred since I've been using Asuswrt. It may be coincidence but I thought worth asking if there is anything I can tweak... I have a NAS which gets backed up from time-to-time to another NAS. To maximise security the backup NAS spends the rest of the time...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.11 is available

    I ran across something when testing DNS over TLS that might be of interest. I had quad9 set as my DNS for TLS. However using a DNS Leak Tester (e.g. http://dnsleak.com/ or https://dnsleaktest.com/ ) I got DNS IP: 66.185.124.244 Hostname: res300.mad.rrdns.pch.net ISP: WoodyNet Country: United...

    Is AiProtection not working on latest 384.11 Merlin's firmware???

    I also had 0 hits reported, downloaded (well, failed to) the file and still saw 0, but going to the Two-Way Protection Tab showed one and returning to the Network Protection tab had incremented the number of hits to 1.

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    BTW I have no plans ever to administer the Router remotely, plus have the VPN just set to allow internet access (for coffee-shop wifi, plus if someone finds a crack to the VPN hopefully they will still only see the external internet). Anyway I got a decent number of answers, some very useful...

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    I'm mostly there now, thanks to all for the help... especially the stuff on secure DNS. What I have left is firstly why are the defaults for the following "disabled"? Enable IGMP Snooping Optimize AMPDU aggregation Secondly is LetsEncrypt only useful if I wanted to access the router from the...

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    Okay, didn't see that coming, thanks.

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    That's really useful, thank you. So if I abandon Google in the TLS list and just have Quad9 I assume it'll just use standard DNS if that goes down? Also any thoughts on Strict vs Opportunistic?

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    Thank you, although I'm a little confused - if I turn off "Connect to DNS servers automatically” it wants some DNS server names, but if I really want to use DNS -over-TLS why doesn't it just use those? I also turned DNSSEC off. Oh and any opinion on a solid choice of servers for TLS access, the...

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    So does anyone have a view of whether I have a sensible set of values for DNS? Thanks!

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    Is there some logic behind this, or it has just seemed to work well?

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    Thanks - so do I assume you have the other Beamforming options enabled? (i.e. "802.11ac Beamforming" on 5G and "Explicit Beamforming" on 2.4G.)

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    Thanks - BTW how's the Alpha2 of 12 on an 87u? Oh and do you use Beam-forming on yours?

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    Oh and one other thing, I have an entry in the Clients list of ASUS with a 169.254 address - I don't remember that from before and wanted to check what feature it was for? (I assume it's a feature and not an external device?)

    Settings question for RT-AC87U

    I've just gone from the factory firmware to 11.2 and have a couple of questions on the settings I was hoping people could help me with, note I did a reset to factory defaults... Is there any way to load in an exported Client list, as I only see an Export button (do I have to type all the names...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.10 Beta is now available

    I've slightly lost track of what's been added in recent versions and what's departed, so if I may I'd like to ask if it's possible (beta 10, RT-AC87U) to have a VPN from the outside World (specifically an iPhone, iPad or Laptop on public WiFi) which tunnels into the router but only has access to...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.6 is now available

    Does the new AC87U firmware that just appeared help at all, or does its (really annoying) 382-ness count against it?

    Asus OpenVPN server security

    Couple of issues I'd like to disappear first... plus it's now disabled, which is very safe...

    Asus OpenVPN server security

    Thank you both, most appreciated. Although I hope the non-x86 CPU might have thwarted their efforts...

    Asus OpenVPN server security

    BTW (slightly belatedly) my RT-AC87U, which is currently on the Asus 382 code, was locked up this morning. The log had regular sets of these: Jul 7 13:04:44 ntp: start NTP update Jul 7 20:46:59 vpnserver1[12641]: 185.200.118.66:58646 TLS: Initial packet from [AF_INET]185.200.118.66:58646...
