    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    probably due to an invalid argument in OpenVPN 2.6 ; check compression parameter or better, regenerate your ovpn file from your VPN provider making sure it is 2.6 version.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    I noticed already some time ago that my PERM entries in arp table were disappearing after some time and/or some events that I could not determined. I then put my commands in a cron and run it every 30 mins, otherwise I had issues to WOL some of my PC's with an Android app.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    Thanks ; this has a negative effect and then I cannot get a WAN IP. I am also getting this warning message since I had to specific lzo-adaptive: ovpn-client1[5548]: WARNING: Compression for receiving enabled. Compression has been used in the past to break encryption. Sent packets are not...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    Hi, Major issue after upgrading my RT-AX86U with all my OpenVPN clients .... after having removed an invalid ncp-disable parameter, the client starts but seems to be in a loop and restarting after a few second. By hazard I found that compression parameter that used to be disabled or none MUST...

    Routing question when connected via OpenVPN to router in cascade

    Thanks @ColinTaylor , I did not see anything special in the log file of the client: 2023-03-25 16:51:34 Note: Treating option '--ncp-ciphers' as '--data-ciphers' (renamed in OpenVPN 2.5). 2023-03-25 16:51:34 Note: --cipher is not set. OpenVPN versions before 2.5 defaulted to BF-CBC as fallback...

    Routing question when connected via OpenVPN to router in cascade

    Thanks @ColinTaylor , this is what I have, VPN access = LAN only, and push route but it does not work. To be precise: access from my laptop (and android phone) connected to AX-56U via OpenVPN on mobile data can access 192.168.98.32 but not any 192.168.1.0/24 devices (NAS, Nvidia shield ..) Thx

    Merlin + Android + Public IP

    Hi, Could you please elaborate this : [Direct USB to Phone (S10 Android USB Router) = unreliable / problematic (no go)] I have an old smartphone with 4G access plugged in USB 3.0 of the router (RT-87U) and this is working quite well ... (btw, the phone is a modem, and the RT-87u is the router) GS

    Cannot connect to OpenVPN Server since upgrade of OpenVPN client on W10

    Thanks, indeed regenerating the ovpn file on the server and re-applying on the client side made the job.

    Cannot connect to OpenVPN Server since upgrade of OpenVPN client on W10

    Hi all, I upgraded this morning my W10 PC to OpenVPN 2.6.0 (https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/) Since then I get this error message when trying to connect to Server on my RT-AX86U: 2023-02-02 12:21:45 Note: Treating option '--ncp-ciphers' as '--data-ciphers' (renamed in OpenVPN 2.5)...

    What are people doing with non-supported Routers like the RT-AC87U?

    Based on advices on this forum, I replace my beloved RT-AC87U by a RT-AX86U mainly for security fixes and have a Merlin supported device. I have disconnected by RT-AC87U from my LAN and set it up with dual WAN while connected to an Android phone with a 4G as backup, in case my ISP provider has...

    Solved OpenVPN Works via LTE and Wifi but Wireguard only works via LTE on 388.1?

    This is not linked to the ASUS set-up for IOS. It means that if your home network is for example 192.168.1.0/24 (with your router being 192.168.1.1) then the "café WIFI" you are connected to has to have a different network address, otherwise when trying to access your home GUI, it simply cannot...

    Solved OpenVPN Works via LTE and Wifi but Wireguard only works via LTE on 388.1?

    Would it be possible that this specific "Airport WiFi" has some "security" mechanism that would block WG protocol/port but not the OpenVPN/port ? So, testing with another WIFI is a way forward to exclude (or not) this hypothesis ....

    RT-AC86U_386.5_2 to RT-AC86U_386.7_2 introduced WiFi issues?

    2 out of 3 of my Daikin airco devices (those 2 "far away" from the router) shows sometimes a warning message indicating that Wifi signal is low and this is new with 386.7_2 (never happened with 386.5_2) Sometimes they reconnect on their own, like some of my TP-Link homeplug devices ...

    Android tablet loses connection to Wi-Fi

    Those are std messages produced in the log whenever a Wifi device is losing its connexion .... If you want to check if your MAC filtering would be the cause, then indeed you can assign a static IP (you cannot set a fixed mac on the router level) to your tablet and see if it still disconnects...

    Yes, it is good practice to mask mac addresses.
