    DNS Firmware Question

    Thanks, but I have issues with some older b/g devices on the 2.4GHz band with Merlin. These devices are just fine on the current ASUS firmware so I can't run Merlin.

    DNS Firmware Question

    On an old modem router that I used when on an xDSL connection There was a custom modified firmware that would "shotgun" DNS requests to all specified DNS servers and then take the first response. It also had the ability to specify more than 2 DNS servers. Do either the ASUS or Merlin take this...

    AX89X static address limitation ?!

    The current ASUS 3.0.0.4.386_45898 firmware for the AX86U has the 128 manual assigned IP address limit.

    Reverting to asus stock firmware to fault find

    I have a RT-AX86U and reverted to most recent stock firmware 3.0.0.4.386_45375 without a full reset and it worked just fine. I have some old Squeesebox devices that would periodically cycle off and on to my 2.4GHz band with the bandwidth set to 40MHz. Also my newer 2.4GHz devices were unable to...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    Hey, it's been a full day without the 3 Squeezebox devices cycling. I'm set at 40MHz bandwidth on 2.4GHz and wifi 6 enabled. The big change is I went to the stock 3.0.0.4.386_45375 ASUS firmware. 2.4GHz devices that can use the 40MHz bandwidth now can do speed test @ 150Mbps down / 126Mbps up as...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    Well that didn't take long. The devices cycled within about 15 minutes. Set universal beamforming back to enabled and set 2.4GHz band back to 20 / 40 with wifi 6 enabled. This works and devices don't de-auth / auth, but I never see 40MHz capable devices get the speed they get when width is set...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    With WiFi 6 disabled and 40MHz on the 2.4 radio it did cycle off and on again. Turned Wifi 6 back on and now trying settings to match @archiel setting except leaving 2.4GHz at 40MHz bandwidth. They were the same except for Universal Beam forming was enabled so I shut that off. we'll see how this...

    Moved my channel width back to 40MHz and disabled wifi 6 on 2.4Ghz. So far no disconnect.

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    Thanks for the suggestion Tom. In the past when I had 2 DGND3700v1's I tried to set up one of them as an access point, but the only way is through a Netgear wireless repeater mode. I was not able to set one up as a "real" AP like I've seen done with a Linksys EA6350 router. And with the expanded...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    I've always been on a fixed channel and I did change the channel bandwidth to 20 / 40 and have had no trouble with these older devices since changing the bandwidth. I would like to have the bandwidth set at 40 because it appears that with the setting of 20 / 40 none of my other 2.4GHz devices...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    Really though much this has nothing to do with the problem of the old Logitech 802.11g devices periodically dropping and reconnecting. The wifi card in these devices is here. These devices do work when channel width is set at 40MHz, but eventually all 3 devices drop and reconnect at the same...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    The Merlin wifi analyzer says my 2.4Ghz control channel is 11 and then 9 as the center channel, too bad that my control channel is 6 and I specified "Below" for the center. inSSIDer on my laptop and wifi analyzer on my phone see the 2.4Ghz band as I've set it. Merlin sees no other users on the...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    According to my wifi analyzer on my phone and inSSIDer on my laptop I've got no conflicts with my neighbors. With both of these I do see that with 20 / 40 set it seems the router never brings up the 2nd channel even when I connect to the 2.4Ghz band with my laptop that can use a 40Mhz signal...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    I did change the channel width to 20 / 40 and these 3 devices haven't cycled since. this feels like ASUS missed something in their backward compatibility. It does seem to throttle back my other n devices on the 2.4Ghz radio though.

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    Actually I said that these 3 devices were g, I didn't mention that I have more devices that are 802.11n that only do 2.4Ghz capable and they don't drop from the router, only these 3 g devices. These 3 devices worked fine on both my old Netgear routers - DGND3700v1 & D7000v2. I could set the data...

    Does this mean you don't know what these log entries say when the problem occurs? The disconnect (deauth) seems related to the random key value item entries and why all three devices at the same time?

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    First I apologize for posting this problem both here and in the Merlin forum, but I'm not getting much help in Merlin land. I have a single router RT-AX86U running Merlin 386.3_2 firmware. I have 3 Logitech devices, 2 Duet receivers and 1 Boom that periodically disconnect and then reconnect to...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    Yes, I knew that the receiver is a g device. I still have 2 good receivers and a Boom. When this happens it drops all 3 from LMS. I do run a fixed channel as I found years ago that receivers don't follow "Auto" very well. My channel width was 40 so I've now set it to 20. I'd previously shut off...

    RT-AX86U / Merlin 386.3_2 / Squeezebox Duet Receiver (Logitech)

    I'm new around here as I've recently upgraded to this router and Merlin firmware and for the most part I'm extremely happy with this choice. I figured I'd start in the Merlin area and see if I can get some help. My Duet receivers are being "Deauthenticated" and then they come right back. The...
