    Can't Turn Off VPN Client

    One small update - clicked the "Default" button at bottom of page - which brings up a warning this brings client back to factory default settings. Told it to proceed, and and when all was said and done, the client is still there and connected.

    Can't Turn Off VPN Client

    I have 5 VPN Clients defined on my AC86U router running Merlin 386.5_2. Client #4 will not turn off. If in the VPN Director, I click on Stop Client - goes through a process, but client remains on. If I go to the client, it switch it from On to Off, and then click Apply, it is back on after...

    High WAN performance and QOS

    Yes, both up and down are 300 Mbs. Makes sense to turn off QOS. Had it on in part to ensure good VOIP around the house.

    High WAN performance and QOS

    Have an WAN facing AC86U. Until early this month, I was paying for and receiving 100 Mbs (symmetrical). All was good. Then got a letter from ISP that they were raising my speed to 300 Mbs - no additional charge. But, when I went to test this, Speedtest on my ethernet connected Dell 8930 showed I...

    Time to Upgrade Routers or not

    I have an AC86U and an AC68U running in an 2 node AIMesh configuration with the AC86U being the WAN facing unit. No known problems and getting the coverage and performance that I need. My question is, how important is it that the AC68U be kept updated on all the new Merlin releases. As the...

    386.4 OpenVPN Certs now use SHA1

    Why the reversion in 386.4 to use SHA1 hash instead of SHA256. Shown as a fix. Seems like a regression.

    OpenVPN Config Questions

    I have a couple of questions of the generated openvpn config file from Merlin (386.3-2). I get mixed results in using this config. On Android phone, using OpenVPN Connect, all seems to work, but get some funky messages and warnings (like the ones below). Using OpenVPN for Android, I can't even...

    Traffic Analyzer Statistics

    Very curious - maybe it's just a feature of Android that it has some core elements that will check certain web services. I've got no other explanation. There is nothing on my network, phone or otherwise, that is talking to Twitter or Skype. The apps are not installed on my phone. Nor does my...

    Traffic Analyzer Statistics

    I've often looked at the Traffic Analyzer Statistic page on my AC86U, but primarily for All Clients over various periods of time. Out of curiosity, I just narrowed that focus by client to look at my Galaxy S20 phone. Mostly what I saw was expected and unremarkable. But I did see some low volume...

    Added Netgear router to my setup - curious results

    The utility is just the router webpage - similar in concept to ASUS Web Utility. What you say sort of makes sense. What it is not showing is are all the wireless devices connected to the 86U which I might expect by the same logic.

    Added Netgear router to my setup - curious results

    I have a 2 node, wired AIMesh setup running Merlin 386.2_4. It has been (and is) working fine. I came into possession of a Netgear AX1800 router the other day. So to understand it better and possibly see the benefits/limitations of WiFi6, I set it up as a wired Access point on the network. So...

    Problems on login to webGUI

    I had a similar problem on my MAC about a month ago. A reboot of the router solved the problem. Problem was however, when I first started experiencing this, I was out of town (I access the system via VPN), so couldn't reboot till I got home. Did check the system on Windows first before I...

    2.4GHz WiFi No TX on AC86U with 386.2_4

    Been running 386.2_4 for about a week now with an AC86U as the main node.. Have a bunch of IOT devices on 2.4 and all seem fine connected to the AC86U. WinFi also shows both my 2.4 and 5Ghz connections up and available on the AC86U

    UI / login Issue 386.2_2 from Brave on MacOS Big Sur

    Well, with more time on my hands, I completely uninstalled then reinstalled Brave. It is now working with Asus/Melin.

    UI / login Issue 386.2_2 from Brave on MacOS Big Sur

    Well, I got home, and without VPN or other wierd things, still have the same issue.

    UI / login Issue 386.2_2 from Brave on MacOS Big Sur

    I'm beginning to think that. I have tried reinstalling Brave - same result. Even tried enabling login over the internet - so not OpenVPN in the picture. Same result. It would just be easier to accept if it had been like this from the get go.

    UI / login Issue 386.2_2 from Brave on MacOS Big Sur

    Also, FWIW, reason I'm using a VPN to my home system in large part is to RDP into my Windows machine. So from the local Windows Machine with the Brave broswer, I went into the router, and everything is fine. Not saying it's not Brave, but seems to be something about thgis Brave on this MAC.

    UI / login Issue 386.2_2 from Brave on MacOS Big Sur

    Yep - do have autoupdate on - and you're right, there have been a couple of updates this past week. Pretty sure the updates concerned this security issue that was effecting all chromium based browsers. What gets me the most as it was working, and then it wasn't, and there definitely wasn't an...

    UI / login Issue 386.2_2 from Brave on MacOS Big Sur

    I'm open to the idea, but a) I would like to solve this issue. b) This was working fine, even on OpenVPN until last night. Then get up today, and problem is there. c) I have used Brave on the local network for months without incident when accessing the router d) No other site (that I have...

    UI / login Issue 386.2_2 from Brave on MacOS Big Sur

    This seems to be my week for UI issues. On 386.2_2. Have OpenVPN server installed and accessing AC86U from my MAC using Brave Browser in a remote location. Connect to login page and all looks normal. Address is 192.168.1.1. Last night I would enter userid & password, get logged in and all was...
