    "Block internet access" toggle in Client Status GUI doesn't stick

    When toggling the "Block internet access"switch under the Client Status entry for any particular device, it doesn't actually apply the change. The switch toggles then I press the "Apply" button. When checking the device is still in it's original state (blocked or active). I've noticed this issue...

    OpenVPN performance of the RT-AC86U

    not even sure the dual core matters when AESNI offloads the VPN crypto. Although I did note the online speedtests vastly over-represent the throughput... speedtest-cli shows more realistic ~150Mbps

    AC86U sometimes powers completely off during reboot

    0 issues for years. 86u is most solid router I ever owned. ~300Mbps onchip VPN!! If only that pesky Merlin wizard would make IKEV2 easy for us noobs.

    Solved How to login to router when it is configured in repeater mode?

    Solved after running Asus Device Discovery for Android on the reset modem I received the correct IP. New IP was also in ARP -a which I forgot to try after resetting it. Must have been the admin login IP restriction from previous setup. Thanks for solving my problem.

    Solved How to login to router when it is configured in repeater mode?

    I have a feeling that the reason I can't login to the UI via ethernet is that I had the admin access restricted to the original IP before I set it to router mode. It loses NAT and firewall but maybe it still is enforcing the IP restriction.

    Solved How to login to router when it is configured in repeater mode?

    Good to know. I'll probably just set up a long-range wifi adapter and skip the router. For future reference, once it's set in repeater mode do I lose local admin access? Is there a way to revert to the default wireless router mode locally without a factory reset?

    Solved How to login to router when it is configured in repeater mode?

    I realized the Wifi radios were off, the WIFI button on the right turned them on (front LEDs). My phone only sees the 5Ghz repeater and tries connecting but never receives an IP. I imagine the 2.4ghz band is handling the link to the guest network which still works over Ethernet. My network...

    Solved How to login to router when it is configured in repeater mode?

    I installed Asus Device Discovery from the Google play store but it requires the device be connected via WiFi so no luck... looks like reset.

    Solved How to login to router when it is configured in repeater mode?

    Thanks for answers. arp -a gives me quite a few ip's but none of them resolve. I should clarify here, it is my primary router. My coax is gone during a remodel so my neighboor lent me guest access which I pointed the router to in repeater mode. Somehow during config it didn't complete the wifi...

    Solved How to login to router when it is configured in repeater mode?

    Thanks. I should have mentioned I am on linux. Is there a way to discover the router without Windows? Will the play store app do it?

    Solved How to login to router when it is configured in repeater mode?

    I set my AC86u to repeater mode and it connects properly. However my previous router login IP (192.168.0.1/) is no longer accessing the router login page. I've also tried http://router.asus.com and http://repeater.asus.com/. How do I login to the router admin when it is configured in repeater mode?

    When using DNSoverTLS with VPN, does Cloudflair see ISP or VPN IP?

    Thanks for all the answers, although the last two seem to contradict. I suppose there is no practical reason to use DNSoverTLS inside the VPN tunnel, but it would be another layer of encryption.

    Can I Isolate IOT devices on a guest network but...?

    I'm looking to isolate my IOT devices as well. YAZFI looks great but will I get a reasonable isolation just putting them on Merlin's Guest network? Will they still route through VPN by IP? I have all my IOT devices on a discreet VPN slot.

    Setting correct MTU for OpenVPN

    When I adjust MTU in Openvpn client config using mssfix, is it necessary to also specify tun-mtu? I'm using the guide here: Setting correct MTU for OpenVPN The default router MTU (1500)gives me packet loss I am on AC86u but I think this is common across Merlin

    SOLVED: Saving VPN config with router config

    No, I didn't save the JFFS. I will try that in future. The router is ac86u.

    SOLVED: Saving VPN config with router config

    When exporting the router configuration then restoring it, the VPN configuration keys and certs are not restored, requiring I manually upload the ovpn file to each VPN slot. Is it possible to save these in the cfg export so the router restores exactly like it was saved?

    When using DNSoverTLS with VPN, does Cloudflair see ISP or VPN IP?

    When using DNSoverTLS in Merlin router and exclusive VPN, do the dns resolvers (cloudflair, etc) receive the request from the VPNs IP, or from the local router IP? In other words, does DNSoverTLS go inside or outside the VPN?

    Cant get to router admin page

    @L&LD Reboot fixed. 25 years in tech you think I would know to turn it off an on.

    Cant get to router admin page

    I have the same issue after setting HTTPS under Merlin admin/system. Unfortunately I've also disabled SSH. Appending :8443 isn't working with a fresh spawned browser. Hoping to avoid a factory reset as I have a lot of unsaved tweaks in the router.
