    AC3100 Router with AC3000 Mesh node

    Hi. I am trying to configure an Asus AC3100 router (Merlin) with an Asus AC3000 ZenWIFI mesh node. The setup always fails with the message router cannot connect and 'someone else is trying to set up an AiMesh system. Please wait 1 minute and try again'. I can select the 3000, an icon spins for...

    Diversion Diversion install is getting the best of me

    He is on a solo tour and he blew me away earlier this year. I did not think a few songs of his would translate well to solo, but he pulled it off. I met him outside the hall just on the way in. He was walking from the hotel with his backpack slung over one shoulder. A decent, down-to-earth guy.

    Diversion Diversion install is getting the best of me

    Holy cripes. Nice company. I just renewed, and it was rather expensive; however, I may look around for another AV/firewall solution. Suggestions? What is it with these guys?? thanks

    Diversion Diversion install is getting the best of me

    Well, after resetting the router again, just in case I had changed some settings and forgot about it, I reinstalled everything. No luck. THEN, re-thinking what you said about bypassing the router, I thought about the AVAST firewall. That was it! Turn off support for encrypted DNS and I'm...

    Diversion Diversion install is getting the best of me

    I appreciate the reply. So, did it work? Sort of. The counter started ticking up (which is a good sign), however, no ads were blocked. The counter stopped moving, and after a router reboot, the counter went up upon refresh before trying another page. I dug through Windows network and Edge...

    Diversion Diversion install is getting the best of me

    Hello. I am dead in the water, and this is driving me nuts. Asus AC3100, right from default settings. 192.168.50.1 is the IP of the router. DNS1 is set to the same. No ads are blocked after clearing the browser cache (Opera and Edge). I am testing on: speedtest.net...

    AdGuard

    Interesting. I turned it off and ad blocking works now! The DNS leak test shows a series of Google addresses, no Ad Guard. One big step at a time I guess. thanks alot. Great idea. Bj

    Well I Well hey. I am 90% of the way there! I was thinking of different browsers, not different systems. Checking DNS and adblocking via my phone is correct, as is my tablet. My wife's Windows laptop is incorrect however with Windows I am just about there. I can check my kid's Mac later...

    According to a DNS leak test, my DNS is a service in Toronto. It is 2 hours away and my ISP is local. Should it not say the 94.140 DNS numbers? https://browserleaks.com/dns

    AdGuard

    As sober as a judge.... using AdGuard as my DNS blocks next to nothing. Edge/Chrome and Opera all report the same 3% of ads blocked. That is with a router reset to the factory settings. I reformatted the USB drive and installed Diversion again. The Diversion counter is counting up blocked ads...
