    Possibly been hacked. Need assistant from senior users.

    I can relate to this. Last weekend we had a power failure. When the power came back up there was no Internet connection. So I went to investigate. I picked up an android smartphone I keep handy for these sort of things. Wifi was up, started the Asus router app. While I was waiting to see...

    Can I block all internet access except for one site?

    I have been asked if I can block internet access for only ONE client of many but allow it to access one or two specific URLs any time. Having looked through the menus on the firmware here I dont see how the exception could be made possible. This device would be on a wired connection only. All...

    Wierd issue on AC68U - 384_2 and 385

    Well there in lies another issue. I don't know what country you are in but if they are actually blocking OpenVPN then maybe its because they prefer to be able to see what your transmitting with the broken security of PPTP. If you are going to invest effort in getting something working I would...

    Ai Protection - VPNFilter Affecting Home Routers

    Possibly. For a test I just changed from BOTH to HTTP only but the remote access config panel is still showing on my 68U. Maybe going the other way from an initialized state it would appear?

    Ai Protection - VPNFilter Affecting Home Routers

    The latest wisdom from the FBI is that rebooting a router has the potential to knock back the virus a couple stages to Level 1 where its only trying to acquire further code to join the network. I haven't seen any explanation though of how long it might take to reacquire the level 2 or 3 code...

    Wierd issue on AC68U - 384_2 and 385

    Well my first reaction is don't use PPTP. The encryption was broken like decades ago. Its not secure by any stretch of ones imagination. Use OpenVPN.

    Why password required for AiProtection Alert Preference email?

    The reason a password option is offered is that many moons ago the organizations that offer free or paid email tired of spammers abusing their services and the email networks by sending great masses of anonymous email on their backs. They got together and developed a set of validation...

    Any known issues regarding AC2900/RT-AC86U 2.4 GHz radio malfunction?

    If you prefer rock solid I would stick with 380.70 for say 4-6 months and then reevaluate what next. I have tried the 384 series and did not see too many quirky things until 384.4_2 on a 68U ver C1. In that case odd things started happening several times a day with the wireless like all...

    AC68 - Phone WiFi presence detect

    I am not the guy to help with a script for the router but I can elaborate a little more on the other idea. The different device issue goes away I would think if each of your devices has its own voip subaccount to log into voip with. It also helps with support if all use the same voip client on...

    AC68 - Phone WiFi presence detect

    Check your VOIP suppliers forums for ideas. For example a service called voip.ms has a couple of apps available on google play by unrelated developers that will enable you to view which of your voip accounts are logged in and their external ip addresses. As soon as the connections drop the...

    Help for Newbie with QoS/VOIP

    Over the years I have found that prioritizing voip traffic or enabling qos makes VOIP very useable on most routers where the priority or QOS features work. Just make sure to never raise the priority of any other devices other than the ones using VOIP or the benefits start vanishing as...

    2.4Ghz wifi works, then refuses to connect, then works again?

    I have seen the same thing on and off over several versions the past few months on a 68u. I think though that the problem is more with the clients than the router. I have several Android devices that cant seem to decide which network to lock onto when there is both a Guest SSID and regular...

    With Merlin Firmware 384.4_2 I always have to login twice into the Asus router. Is it a Hacker?

    FWIW I came to believe there is something odd about the 384.4_2 code on a RT-AC68U v C1. I had a whole whack of weird things like that happen with no discernable pattern or log reports... nothing happening when you hit apply or rebooting and the router staying locked in its problem or ignoring...

    Can not Update to 384.4_2

    Sorry I cant resist.. but... that's why we should NOT be upgrading firmware when we are sleepy... :) .. or writing posts

    AC68U Bandwidth Monitor no longer working

    Well from studying the many postings of people having challenges it seems to me that experiences differ depending on the simultaneous features that are being employed on the device with 384. In my case the bandwidth monitor and traffic analyzer are working now... but for example in 384.3 I did...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    Yes you are right. I should have said "originally" meant for indoor use.. https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-326341A1.pdf The equipment in the field though did not get changed out overnight. Its only been 4 years since the announcement.

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    The least used 5 Ghz channels will appear to be the eight 2 digit channels (36-64 with 20 Mhz bandwidth). They appear least used (while they may not be) as they are (edit: originally) indoor use channels and are fixed to a lower power by the (edit: US) government. This is good as you are...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    Too funny... 'urban legend'. 30-30-30 was something used on old Linksys WRT54G/GS/GL type routers when DD-WRT firmware was being installed or reset. It did not even work on stock Linksys f/w never mind Asus. Here is an example of where even the DD-WRT folks tried to dissuade people from doing...
