    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    I'm having too many issues with this Router. DNS Director doesn't work properly. I use Pihole as my DNS server and I set it up exactly as it was on my AC86U. I added the pihole DNS IP in the LAN DCHP, but if I select "Router" as the global setting in DNS Director, it breaks the connection. I...

    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    This is most likely what it is because the wireless security cameras that are connected to the same wifi network as the IoTs works fine without Internet access. I guess the only fix is to have the IoT devices connect to the main wifi network and then block internet access via Parental Controls...

    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    Yeah I remember going through this last year. The issue is, the IoTs work fine without Internet access (LAN only) when connected to the main wifi network. It's only when using a vlan where the issue is. If they connect to any other Wifi Network that is not the main, then Internet access has to...

    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    @eibgrad so in my case the IoTs are on 192.168.3.1 so it would be iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.3.1 -m state --state NEW -j DROP correct?

    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    Actually I spoke too soon haha. Only the wireless security cameras work without internet access. The IoTs like smart plugs and light switches, do not work work unless I enable internet access. Meaning, I am not able to access them via LAN only. This is the same behavior I was having with YazFi...

    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    Thank you Merlin. I just installed YazFi and can confirm the issue I had on the AC86U were if I disabled Internet Access to a Guest Network I would not able to access the devices via LAN only.. on this AX88U Pro, YazFi is working as intended! Is that because this model does allow full...

    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    I just found that DNS Director is a feature Merlin added, which is awesome. I just installed Merlin, but I see that the Guest Network tab looks completely different than stock. I don't see the options I had when it was on stock. Does that mean those options are not available in Merlin or do I...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.1 is now available for Wifi 7 devices

    Does this mean the latest firmware version fixed DNS Director? I just got an AX88U Pro, but have not installed Merlin yet.

    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    Are there any features not working/missing in the Merlin firmware? For example, DNS Director. Is that a feature of the stock version or is that Merlin's? I ask because on my AC86U with Merlin, it has DNS Director, but It's not on the stock AX88U Pro.

    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    I'm using stock Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_33308. I have not tried installing Merlin's yet as I just bought this router and wanted to try out the VLAN options. The reason I wanted to get this router besides the fact that my AC86U will stop getting updates by the end of 2024.. I also wanted to...

    RT-AX88U Pro Blocking Internet Access

    I'd like to block Internet access to some devices connected to the IoT network and Guest network. I am not able to block Internet access to the devices connected to the IoT networks or any network that is not setup to use the main network. Even when using the MAC address in Parental Controls...

    Solved RT-AX88U Pro Unable to connect to Wifi

    I was able to get my hands on the AX88U Pro. Before installing the Merlin firmware, I wanted to test out the router. I notice when creating a guest network or IoT network, if I uncheck that option that says "Use same subnet as main network", I doesn't allow me to connect to that wifi network at...

    wow.. I've seen the new Asus wifi 7 routers... they're like $300-600! - way off my budget... and my internet speeds here are only 50/10 so I won't even benefit of using wifi 7 except for the security lol.
