    /opt folder on stock RT-AC86U Firmware

    I would use merlin as all of this has already been worked out on it. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Entware on merlin you just run the script that's already included entware-setup.sh

    Before I throw out my Asus AC88u router$%#$&% Merlin?

    What is your upstream providor? If you are in a wooded area that is remote, you also need to check the cable modem or whatever device is providing the ethernet handoff. Motorola/Aris for example has a diagnostic page that is accessible using http://192.168.100.1 Also consider running a...

    Before I throw out my Asus AC88u router$%#$&% Merlin?

    wired throughput or wireless? I'm assuming wireless. Change the wireless channel to one with the least conflict and disable beamforming, MIMO, and airtime fairness.

    Apparent VPN server/client conflict

    In networking, ip addresses are like phone numbers and part of it identifies the network and part of it identifies the host and therefore must be unique. You can't have two different people with the same mobile phone number can you? Ip addresses are the same. Part of the addresses specified...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Where did you get the panel? Do you have access to the settings or console on it? Where was it made? Check the NTP settings on the device if you can. Could be harmless config, but I would be worried if my equipment was phoning home to either location. Could be the panel trying to exfiltrate...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    look at your dhcp system log and find the ip/name/mac of the device that's initiating the traffic. Use a mac vendor identifier database to lookup the manufacturer of the device. It maybe a wireless camera that is using ntp. But unpatched security cameras could be a cause for concern.

    Is it possible to use public IP block on the LAN side of ASUS router? Need some help.

    Sorry still not sure what the question is. Having very large subnets wastes valuable ip space. Having them too small is a pain to manage once you run out of addresses. A large layer 2 network is prone to problems (ie broadcast storms) and is very difficult to troubleshoot. A layer 3 subnet...

    Is it possible to use public IP block on the LAN side of ASUS router? Need some help.

    During mergers and acquisitions, everyone using the same rfc1918 space ends up being a nightmare to fix. Also using nat to hide the source addresses of the clients makes it almost impossible for a security operations center to track down a malicious client.

    Is it possible to use public IP block on the LAN side of ASUS router? Need some help.

    if you disable nat, then i would assume so. If you leave nat enabled, then there is no need to waste routable ips on the workstations and wireless devices. Everyone would nat hide behind the single wan ip.

    Cannot connect Windows to my Samba drives over a router-hosted VPN

    I assume you can ping the default gw from your client? Did you try opening explorer in the format \\192.168.1.1 you enabled the share in advanced ai disk samba? http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_AiDisk_samba.asp

    Is it possible to use public IP block on the LAN side of ASUS router? Need some help.

    Yes and no, you'll need a routable ip on the wan side which you already have. If you decide to use routable ips on the lan side, you will need to disable nat and change the lan ip and dhcp scope. You'll also need to subnet the /29 block into smaller blocks. The main problem will be to make...
