    Upgrade Process?

    I am going to try that tool. What version of rmerlin do I use? I see there's 2 different downloads for each version. So just to be clear, I am planning to do this process: - Use backup tool to backup all config and save it to the jffs usb and my computer. - Use the UI to load the new...

    Upgrade Process?

    I followed the advice on the forum and got my AC68U running remerlin on it about a year ago. I have to say that it is great. I like it a lot. I am running 376.47 with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.47_0. I see there are many updates since then and i am experiencing a few minor issues, so I thought I...

    Need Help With DNS/DNSMasq Config

    I have had a setup on my Asus AC68U running RMerlin 376.47 and it has worked. I carried the idea over from DD-WRT that I used in the past. It just suddenly stopped working and i cannot figure out why or how to fix it. I have a local Windows server DNS server that I use for my home "domain"...

    Optimize Wireless

    I am looking for ways to optimize wireless for better range and speed. I have an app on my phone that is telling me that channel 14 is the best signal strength, but I only see up to channel 11. On the 5ghz side, it said 149 is best, so I hard-coded it to 149 there. Ho can I get to channel 14...

    Ad Blocking

    Do we have any idea on the performance impact of the method mentioned above?

    Ad Blocking

    Well I chose Merlin because I was told by many people that its a much better option on the AC68U. I have done lots of searching on the forum. I found many threads here, but most have an unclear ending. For example, the dnsmasq option is said to really impact performance or web surfing. The...

    Ad Blocking

    Anything? I really want to get a handle on the stupid ads. My family gets riddled with them and its exhausting to fight.

    Ad Blocking

    I am looking for a decent ad blocker that I can run on my Asus AC68U. I want to make sure that it is not going to be a performance issue either. I saw the wiki with the adblock, but according to what I read I cannot get it with my router. I have read several threads on the forum on this topic...

    LAN Link Speed

    One of my LAN connections is directly connected to my QNAP NAS. The QNAP NAS has 2 gig ethernet ports that I have configured as load balanced and fault tolerant team. One NAS connection goes to mu Asus AC68U and the other goes into another switch that's connected to the Asus also. The Asus...

    Firewall/IPTables

    Ok, well I hope I have figured this out lol. I have Optware installed and I created a new firewall-start script that looks something like this. Can someone please verify that this is proper use of ipset and that this is a good way to block out many subnets without impacting performance...

    Firewall/IPTables

    So I have read thread after thread and the wiki. The big thread on this forum about using ipset is long, but it relies on running that script for everything. I am not sure if that script is what I want, but the script is also not posted anymore. So my main issue is figuring out how to...

    Firewall/IPTables

    I am really stuck on this. Any help would be appreciated. IPSets seem to be the way to go but I have never dealt with it before.

    Firewall/IPTables

    I have been reading all day and I am completely lost. I searched the forum and found that long post about it, but the links it has to scripts are broken. I am just lost as to what is necessary to get ipsets going.

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    This thread is great! I just setup an AC68U with RMerlin and I want to block all non-us countries. I started looking at IPTables to block all the subnets from IPDeny.com, but its too many rules which will cause bad perf. I was directed to look at ipsets since its supposed to not impact...

    Firewall/IPTables

    Because I am sick of hack attempts coming from other countries, I was thinking of blocking all traffic from foreign countries on my Asus RT-AC68U (and my Linux Web Server). The only way I know I can do it is with IPTables. I have a consolidated list of IP subnets from other countries, but...

    "How Do I?" from a DD-WRT User

    I think I may have it working now. I connected the router to my internet connection and set the last few settings. I also set the script back to firewall-start. After a reboot, I now see the iptables listings present. So it must have been something like the ntp/time or whatever.
