    Client List on RT-AX88U Pro incorrectly showing a VLAN Device on the Primary Network; incorrectly showing Static device as DHCP

    I appreciate this has been discussed many, many times before, I am aware of the prior posts, so to be clear this is not a request for fixing it. RMerlin has repeatedly stated this Client List is closed source and he cannot fix it (I am running Merlin FW 3006.102.4_alpha2), hence posting in this...

    Saving the multiple DHCP Static Lists and Custom Client Lists from 3006 Routers with Guest Network Pro?

    As noted a few times in various posts I’ve been using WinSCP and just saving several files from the router containing dhcp reservation details, then copying them back into /jffs/nvram, for many years, without issue. For one fixed DHCP list (under the LAN, DHCP tab) that 3004 FW had, it worked...

    Guest Network Pro on RT-AX88U Pro IoT VLAN Setup with TP-Link TL-SG1008 Unmanaged Switch

    Hi, I thought I would document my experience setting Guest Network Pro up, so other folks at my (basic) level of technical expertise can see what it looks like and the various gotchas. I'm happy for feedback on what I should have done or changes (but please say why and what it is for)… I was...

    ESP32 Bluetooth Proxy Devices OK on Primary Network subnet but always show offline in ESPHome when on IoT VLAN Network?

    I realise this is a general (smart home) discussion forum, but before I go ask questions in Home Assistant forums for ESPHome, I thought I would see if anyone can give me a few pointers. I run HA (Home Assistant) and have some small H&T (Xiaomi) devices that I wanted to connect more reliably in...

    YAT on adding a 2.5Gbps port using a USB to Ethernet Adapter (RTL8157)

    Hi, I appreciate there’s been lots of prior threads on this attempt as shown in the selective list below, all of which I have now pretty much read. I also appreciate it’s going to be far less of a hassle and a headache to just buy a Wi-Fi 6 class router that has two 2.5Gbps Ports, one WAN and...

    IPv6 WAN Prefix Length Setting in WebGUI (3004.388.8_2)?

    I am not sure if this is 3004.388.8_2 related or just a an ASUS thing, but I was just curious as to why, for "Native" IPv6 connection type, the WebGUI IPv6 screen shows a WAN prefix Length of 56 even after you type in 64 and hit apply? Just cosmetic, or a default or Native is supplied by the ISP...

    SSID QR Code validity after hard reset but using same SSID Password when setup again?

    I checked the forums and googled but not too clear on what happens here. I think this is probably applicable to stock and Merlin but I use Merlin so I thought I'd ask here, I'm thinking of doing a hard reset (for other reasons) but I have a few QR codes printed out and nicely laminated around...

    Assign Device Names in System-Wireless Log specifically for AIMesh Nodes? And change AIMesh Host Name

    A while back I got some very good advice from @drinkingbird and @RMerlin regarding how Asus or Asus-merlin source the device name under the system log-wireless log tab. In summary: and So I pretty much removed all the Static IP settings from my devices and let the DHCP Reservations name them...

    Alternative to Pastebin and replacing MAC Addresses with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx automatically?

    Hi, I have two questions on the subject title, please: Firstly, I need to post router logs occasionally, but for some reason pastebin doesn't like my IP (or maybe my ISP doesn't, I am not sure). Anyway, rather than getting my IP released as suggested, is there a recommended alternative that is...

    amtm Reinstalling Addons after a Router Hard Reset?

    I am planning a router hard reset and was just browsing the BACKUPMON Addon and had a thought (yeah it hurt) about the retention of existing Addons. I guess the question is if the USB-SSD is not wiped, what happens when you first run amtm on the Router after a hard-reset, can it recognize all...

    amtm Cosmetic correction to Disk Check prompt

    Probably option 3 added at some stage, but I believe the selection should be changed to 1-3 (currently 1-2). Minor only 👍

    Tailscale as an Addon: Polite request for a Coder to implement

    Hi, Hopefully this won’t be taken the wrong way, but now that a few of us have successfully installed and are running Tailscale on Asus Merlin and the thread has 11K views (not sure if that’s a lot, but shows it has some interest) I was wondering if some kind soul would be willing to take up...

    Change the name of the guest network in network map?

    Hi, Searched but could not see something specifc (maybe it is in an addon or script), was hoping for a simple wording change in a file somewhere. I (like a few others I believe) put IoT devices on "Guest Network - 2", which shows up devices on the network map as .... wait for it ... "Guest...

    Uninstalling amtm scripts individually?

    Apologies if that has been asked before, I searched for Uninstalling amtm scripts and I also looked in https://diversion.ch/amtm-usage.html but did not find a definitive answer. Whilst the Diversion menu has it's own 'remove' option and some posts suggest running specific commands e.g...

    Low-Power SSD for amtm, Diversion, Entware and Tailscale on the USB 2.0 Port (USB 3.0 configured as USB 2.0)

    My recent (succesful) Tailscale install on my RT-AX86U (plaudits go to @RandomUser777) prompted me to follow up on what I have been wanting to do for a while and replace my USB Thumb Drive (ext4) with an SSD, for reliability only; I do not care about speed or size. Cognisant of the repeatedly...

    Advice on ZenWifi Nodes for use as Wired Backhaul AiMesh Nodes?

    Hi I have an RT-AX86U as my main router, running Merlin, and an RT-AX58U as one AiMesh node, wired backhaul. Working fine. I need a little extra coverage. My Dad put in Ethernet cabling when he built the house, and we have a guest annex where kids often go that I’d like to put in a Mesh Node...

    Extend Guest Network to an AP Access Point Connected via Ethernet Cabling?

    Hi, I did a quick search but most of the responses were a wee bit complicated, regarding VLANs and the like. I have a few Shelly IoT devices that are currently on GW2 with my IoT SSID, but one of them has a very weak (and unstable) connection due to walls/distance. Shelly setups allow a...

    How does Asus or Asus Merlin source the device name under the System Log, Wireless Log Tab?

    I am struggling to understand how Asus / Asus Merlin sources its name in the Wireless Log (under the System Log Tab), vs those displayed in the Network Tab "Client Status" and "View List" Tables of what is connected. I ask as I recently added some Shelly IoT (1 PM) devices to my Guest Network 2...

    Manually assigning Main Network IP address to Device connected to Guest Network?

    Hi, I like to to see what devices are online using named devices associated with MAC/ IP address. I noticed recently that some but not all devices that are connected to a guest network 192.168.101.x or 102.x (101 or 102 dependent on 2.4 or 5Ghz) are available to be assigned static IPs. If my...

    Disabled LEDs on AIMESH Node keep turning back on ?

    I have an LED issue with an RT-AX86U Pro and an RT-AX58U AIMESH Node I.e. the main router LEDs stay off, but the node’s LEDs seem to come on after a period of time (a day). The LED switch is off for both Routers and Node in the ASUS Router App (and WebAdmin) and toggling it makes them turn off...
