    Glad it worked out and you didn't have to chuck your asus router :)

    RT-AC88U Load Balance dual WAN

    the problem is that without using something like bgp with your own as# you are pretty much going to be limited to using the bandwidth for download/outbound connections only. Meaning the router is going to nat packets behind the dhcp wan address for each interface. That may be fine for outgoing...

    RT-AC88U Load Balance dual WAN

    What is your setup like? What is the primary link and the backup link? Have you tested latency on both? Ran a speedtest on both? And without bgp any dual wan setup with both wan connections live would be limited to outgoing traffic. I'm not sure how ddns would work on two wan connections...

    Splitting smart home devices in separate network

    Create a guest ssid on the main router and setup the 2nd router as a repeater bridge for the guest ssid. Attach all of the devices you want to segregate onto the repeater.

    IDS Monitoring and Alerts

    Take a look at skynet for the merlin firmware. I haven't given up on getting an ids for home yet. But its just not feasible given the home router cpu. AiProtection and skynet are the next best thing.

    RT-AC68U in Media Bridge Mode losing connection to main router

    Do you not have any devices connected to the repeater/bridge? Almost every device will generate some bit of traffic, broadcast or otherwise? I would try manually assigning and a channel and make sure the tplink is not sharing the same ssid between 2 and 5 ghz. just my two bit

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

    Sounds like an ISP issue. Sorry bud, I know i went a few rounds with Time Warner until i finally got the docsis 3 modem with enough channels that pretty much let me get high speed. Lucky thing most of my neighbors never swap out their gear. It's like having a new highway all to yourself. A...

    UPnP?

    I would recommend disabling it completely and setup port forwarding for what you want. It may be technically a little more challenging, but it is better than letting every device in your network to decide what services to open up to the internet. For example, i found that minecraft and plex...

    One single IP to two MAC adresses?

    You can assign a static address to the device mac itself as a dhcp reservation. Or you can just hard code the address into the device instead of using dhcp and make sure it's not part of the reservation and does not get handed out to other clients. Either way, wireless settings and arp table...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.7 Beta is now available

    Good luck, I finally got rid of my last dd-wrt router. It was just too much of hassle and kluge of parts and pieces. You'd be better off getting a new router. A real ac68 router sells for all of $40 on ebay right now.

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

    When this happened, did you yank the cable from the router and connect direct to the fios gear to check their connection?

    RT-AC68U in Media Bridge Mode losing connection to main router

    I have two ac68 repeaters running latest stock solidly connected to an ac88 router running the latest merlin on 5ghz which has the least amount of conflict. If you don't have different ssid for 2.4 and 5ghz, expect to have problems. My backhaul is 5ghz ssid because even though it has the...

    Forbid OpenVPN access from Guest WiFi

    How many guests? How secure? Easiest way would be to staticly assign ip's and only setup routes for the hosts you want using the vpn.

    MTU 1508 possible with RT-AC86U?

    interesting, do you have any references for this? I thought the driver settings determined it.

    MTU 1508 possible with RT-AC86U?

    Increasing the packet mtu to the limit is never a good idea and could leave the network degradation and packets that will need to be re transmitted into smaller fragments. You don't know what all of the networks that the traffic will have to traverse and all of them will need to support that...

    One single IP to two MAC adresses?

    Right now whats happening - when the device connects directly to the router you see its mac/ip combination When the device connects through the repeater, you see the ip address coming from the mac of the repeater. This is basic layer 2 networking. The main router will need to know where to...
