    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    I see that pfSense Home/Lab version is no longer offered. The path for existing users is to reinstall the CE edition and restore your current config. You can also buy a commercial license. As I don't plan to do this for a company that revoked their offer so quickly, (what is the chance they...

    Firewalla Gold Plus Suitability

    I have an opportunity to buy a Gold Plus for 75% off through a friend. I'm wondering if I should. I like the features, think the data offered on network use would be a nice thing. If I do this, I'll have to swap it in as router. I have a well functioning network so I don't want to find that this...

    LAN IPv6 DNS Entry

    Can you have 2 (or more) entries on the LAN-DHCP Server-IPv6 DNS Server box? If so, how to enter them? With ; or , or just a space between?

    Solved Cable Modem->VLAN Tagged Switch->MoCA Adapter->MoCA Adapter->VLAN Tagged Switch->AX86U Router

    I have a need to get the modem to another floor of a house that does not have the layout to pull ethernet cable from one location to the other. The cable modem also will not get moved as there are no drops in the area the router needs to be in. So, I thought, I'll just use the VLAN WAN...

    New Horizons Beckoned

    I'm writing this as a 'Going away, may not be back' thing. I've been with ASUS and Merlin for... ever it seems. Watched the builds grow into a very nice package. Learned a lot, had some odd problems, got great assistance along the way. For the past week, I've been running OpenWrt on a NanoPi...

    How To Identify Client Sending DHCPSOLICIT

    I have these log entries where I am unable to decipher the client. Feb 21 14:07:31 dnsmasq-dhcp[27767]: DHCPSOLICIT(br0) 00:04:b3:0c:0b:7e:03:bc:dd:e1:ac:06:fc:4c:0b:b0:84:d5 These are repeated over and again, while it does no harm, maybe the client is misconfigured.

    An Observation- 386 Code, AX86U, and WiFi Failure

    I have observed that my AX86U loses the ability to pass traffic via WiFi once per three day period. I say once in a three day period because that is as long as I've seen things stay up while one day is the shortest period. Doesn't matter if I run official or Merlin, once in a three day period...

    386.1, Scheduled Reboot Results in Empty Directory in jffs

    I had an issue where all connections, wired or wireless, would slow way down. For example, google.com would take 2-3 minutes to open. A reboot of the router restored performance. Since this happened daily, I enabled a daily scheduled reboot. After a few days, I noticed that a couple of devices...

    DNSFilter and IPv6 Works(?) Strangely

    So, I set this up with the help of @dave14305 and it has been working a treat. Today, I had a problem with reaching a site and opened a command prompt on my Win 10 machine. nslookup failed to resolve the domain, or any domain for that matter. nslookup google.com DNS request timed out...

    Remove Router and Node From AiMesh 2.0

    I have run AiMesh with an Ethernet backhaul for some months now, first on ASUS official, then with Merlin once it was available for my routers. In this time, I have seen about 3 devices ever connect to the node. Mostly the node is empty, bereft of any device. Sometime, if I toggle the backhaul...

    Merlin, dnsmasq, Pi-hole Accurate Device Names How-To?

    I have an RT-AX86U running 386.1 beta 2 and while it is working well, I find that many ads are being served to devices, especially mobile phones. I have tried various suggestions for solving this and the DNSFilter option to force all DNS traffic to my Pi-hole works the best. Unfortunately, it...

    DNS, dnsmasq.postconf, How To?

    Long ago, I used dnsmasq.postconf to put my Pihole's local IP (V4 & V6) into DHCP for various clients use. Some just don't have the good sense to listen to manual configuration. Then, awhile back, (like the precise timing?), this method quit working. It caused the interface to be included with...

    Google DDNS IPv4 and IPv6?

    I have a domain that uses G Suite. I'd like to take advantage of their domain pricing and free DDNS along with some additional ease of use features by using Google DNS. I use IPv6 DNS records in my domain and currently have to update them manually. Luckily, the IPv6 doesn't change often. So...

    dnsmasq.postconf Adds Interface to Desired DNS Address

    I've run this config for a while (>6 months) with no problems. Redirect all devices to my pihole for DNS. Today, after applying 384.18 beta 1 to both the AX58U and the 86U AP I'm seeing the interface being added to the IPv6 DNS address. Wired is fine. P6.DNS[1]...

    IPv6 Firewall- One Port Will Not Forward

    I have 384.16 b1 running on my 86U. I have several ports forwarded to a server. All but a single IPv6 forward work. One refuses to forward. This is a test from another machine to the server: root@tester:~# nc -zv 2601:19b:4800:2121::1e72 443 Connection to 2601:19b:4800:2121::1e72 443 port...

    Not Directly Related, Which AX Router Would (Do) You Have for Use w/Merlin

    I'm thinking of moving my 86U to a different role and would like to get an AX router compatible with Merlin's work. Reading this forum alone, I'd hesitate to get any of them. But, not many people post about excellent results anywhere, so the question is what AX modem compatible with this...

    Universal Setting Restoration?

    I am curious if anyone has tried this with the stock firmware. Supposed to work, but I have never tried it as I always use RMerlin's builds. This from a review of the AX88U During the setup process, you’ll be offered to upload settings from a backup file. In this case, you can upload settings...

    86U & AX88 Certain 2.4 G Device Connect With No Internet/LAN

    I have a Ambient Weather 2902A that uses 2.4G. It had been stable for some time, then decided to go offline for 5 hours daily. I opened a case with Ambient and find that they see this behavior with the 86U and AX88 Thing is, the units connect and are shown as having hours of connect time, but...
