    How to get IPs behind an AP transparent to my Asus?

    thank you for the reply! that would make sense, but I can't see DHCP turned on anywhere, do you mean in the AP or the bridge (all 3 pieces ubiquiti)? I've just scoured all three again and don't see any DHCP option turned on. google isn't helping me find turning off DHCP for a unifi AP...

    How to get IPs behind an AP transparent to my Asus?

    I have a beloved AC56U running Merlin, and the internet connection is shared to a neighboring building using two Ubiquiti Litebeam dishes to create a bridge, and an Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Lite access point to provide the wireless connection in that building. I have all the Ubiquiti gear in very...

    What clever SSH shortcuts do you use?

    anyone know the command to query the internet connection status? edit: pinging google (ping -c 1 -q google.com) accomplishes this pretty well, but I wonder if someone knows exactly how to query specifically the "Internet status: " field in the Network Map GUI?

    What clever SSH shortcuts do you use?

    My friends consider me tech savvy, but that's a low bar, I am quickly lost on command line instructions so I've previously only used the GUI for my Merlin router. However last year Apple made their Shortcuts app a lot more powerful and useful, and I've been having fun automating some things in...

    No connectivity with manual DNS?

    I have been having intermittent problems for a couple months now getting connectivity with my AC56U running Merlin and an OpenVPN client for all my traffic. Previously I would try many things and restart many times, sometimes something would 'fix' the problem, sometimes nothing would, but the...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 is now available

    I am having major NTP issues as well with this update on my AC56U. I was occasionally having them before this update and the system time would be set to Jan 1 2015, after a few reboots it would usually correct itself to the correct time. I saw in the notes for this update that there is an NTP...

    Anyone using Ubiquiti UAP with Merlin router?

    My AC56U with Merlin is working wonderfully for me with OpenVPN, UPnP media sharing, and frequently using Download Master. I don't wish to change anything, except, I need more range. Turning the AC56U radios off and running a UAP to a more central location seems like a good and reasonably cheap...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    I was upgrading while I read this and you had me worried. I'm using LastPass with the browser extension, and although paste doesn't seem to be enabled, the little LastPass star shows in the password field and can be clicked to insert the password.

    Prevent LAN access from OpenVPN

    I've felt the same way about the scripts, the wiki is certainly not a step-by-step tutorial. Please continue to share what you learn and if you get this working.

    OpenVPN DNS leaking

    Thank you for the replies, it seems that changing to 'Strict' did fix the DNS leaks according to those two checking sites. However I'm still having issues with some Google services/pages that I wonder if they're DNS related, but this is a good start and I'm happy to see the conversation continue.

    OpenVPN DNS leaking

    I'm using the latest Merlin build (also tried 2 other recent builds) and when using OpenVPN client I find that my DNS is leaking when checking at https://dnsleaktest.com/ and https://ipleak.net/ . Either my true ISP alone will show, or a combination of my true ISP and other DNS at my VPN server...

    VPN with merlins FW

    Protecting yourself while on unsecured wifi is a great use of a VPN, but there are other uses that make sense in the home environment also. 1) Privacy - using a VPN keeps your internet usage private from your ISP, some ISPs throttle certain kinds of traffic, this would prevent that. It also...

    Scripts, so if I understand correctly...

    Thank you for the reply, and for the firmware! Do you know of a guide to getting started with scripts? I really just want to get the SSID for VPN and SSID for ISP thing working, but I realize that Wiki entry is for more advanced users; I don't understand the script and I don't even know where...

    Scripts, so if I understand correctly...

    Since we're discussing simple scripts questions, I'll jump in here. A few months ago I was a total newb to all this, and of course still am a 98% newb. I got an AC56U running Merlin (April '15 build) with OpenVPN client. That's good, but I want to do more using JFFS scripts. I've browsed all...

    DDWRT Command Shell or Tomato System Commands equivalent with Merlin?

    Oh, bummer, but thank you for the reply. I haven't done telnet before, and have barely played with PuTTY and SSH. Did you take a look at the video and what's being done with DDWRT? I can start figuring out how to make that command with telnet or SSH (know a good guide?), but will it be...

    DDWRT Command Shell or Tomato System Commands equivalent with Merlin?

    Hi guys and gals, I'm new to Merlin and not terribly tech savvy with networking stuff, so I'd really appreciate your help with this issue (and I did try to search here and google first). I want to run two routers, one with a VPN, one without. I got this setup working well with the first...

    How to setup SSID for VPN and SSID for Regular ISP using MerlinWRT

    Any idea why this thread seems to be gone? ------------------------------- I'm going to be traveling for a while and want to get a router setup with two VPN locations over two SSIDs so I can quickly geolocate any of my devices to two different places by changing networks. I've played with...
