    Aimesh on RT-AC56U

    I came across this thread recently. Like many others, I have an rt AC56U which I haven't used for quite a while. I now need another Aimesh node to fill a gap in wifi coverage and am tempted to try the conversion to an AC68u. I think there have been some changes to mtd-write version2 since the...

    AX3000 - After restoring config password doesn't work

    Thank you for explaining. I don't often do a backup and have probably never read the small print in that the backup section. In this case perhaps I did tick the box which would cause the problem. If I feel brave I might try the backup restore again in the future making sure I don't tick the...

    AX3000 - After restoring config password doesn't work

    Thank you for the link. see below . Perhaps the problem is to do with the checkbox. Does that mean NOT ticking the checkbox will preserve the original user name /password. And what what happens if you DO tick the box re user name/password? I just can't remember whether I did or didn't...

    AX3000 - After restoring config password doesn't work

    Perhaps it is a firmware or router bug and I'm not sure which is the best way to make it known as an issue The router is an rt ax56u running the very latest (2024) Merlin fw. I don't believe that what I did -the same firmware, the same router-should have comprised the backup/restore process...

    AX3000 - After restoring config password doesn't work

    re "Well, if something wasn't working correctly (why else reset the configuration?)" Actually it was fine when I created and saved the config file. I then made some changes which I was not happy with, did a reset etc and reloaded the config file and that ended up locking me out. Anyway I'll...

    AX3000 - After restoring config password doesn't work

    What you describe as the fix is exactly what I was trying to do-backup,reset,restore to same router with same firmware from .cfg file- but was “locked out” at the login page. Normal user and passwords didn’t work and default ones didn’t either.

    AX3000 - After restoring config password doesn't work

    I've struck this problem too. Asus rt ax56u. Restored settings from cfg file then unable to login -wrong user/password. After another reset restored settings manually. Clearly unless I'm doing something wrong, the option of backing up and then trying to restore from a cfg file has no value...

    Problem flashing Merlin firmware on Asus rt ax56u

    Solved. The problem occurred when using the usb/ethernet adapter. Later I tried with a direct connection to my laptop ethernet port and the flash was successful.

    Problem flashing Merlin firmware on Asus rt ax56u

    I've just bought an rt ax56u. It came with Asus fw 3.00.4.386_45898 which appears to be the latest version from Asus. I've tried to flash merlin rt ax56u-3004-386.6.0 (the very latest available). During the flashing process the message is "updating plse wait" or similar. At the end of the...

    OVPN Problem. Asus rt ax56u (latest merlin firmware

    The kill switch only closes the connection to vpn connected devices if the vpn tunnel becomes inactive. It has no effect on dns. In my situation the kill switch was always active in the various configurations yet the dns leaks continued until made the above changes to the ovpn configuration...

    OVPN Problem. Asus rt ax56u (latest merlin firmware

    My VPN provider says "This is a very good method. It will no longer be necessary, we think, when the Asus Merlin environment will be able to tunnel IPv6 over IPv4 properly, which it currently can't".

    OVPN Problem. Asus rt ax56u (latest merlin firmware

    I hadn’t noticed that option in dns director. In my case thought that wouldn’t help because my vpn client ovpn configuration files are at a national level. eg client 1 is “USA”. So when this is enabled it will connect to a specific server and dns in the USA. However there might be twenty...

    OVPN Problem. Asus rt ax56u (latest merlin firmware

    Enabling ipv6 did allow the ovpn file to install successfully. A problem arose because my isp's DNS also showed up on an ipleak test. In turn the website redirected my browser back to my home country website rather than to the website where the vpn server was located. Disabling both ipv6 on...

    OVPN Problem. Asus rt ax56u (latest merlin firmware

    Thank you Martinr and also Juanantonio. Enabling ipv6 in the router fixed the problem. Without the benefit of Martinr's reply my next step would have been to contact Airvpn. Nevertheless your input has saved me a lot of time and I am truly grateful. Thank you again.

    Replacement for rt ax56u

    I tried this but it doesn't work as a dns filter. Irrespective of whatever alternative dns is specified, the dns actually used is still the default router dns.

    Replacement for rt ax56u

    Thanks. On reflection that is my thinking too. i.e. wait until it actually becomes a real problem and then monitor security issues and review options. DNS filter/director and security are the important features for me. I understand Merlin's is the only firmware with DNS Director/Filter feature.

    Replacement for rt ax56u

    Thanks, what I have fill my needs perfectly. What I'm concerned about is the possible/likely? loss of merlin firmware support. Merlin has indicated that this router may not be supported any longer. If this support stops, I will buy another merlin supported router; one which is most likely to...

    Replacement for rt ax56u

    In march, @merlin foreshadowed the possibility that merlin fw 388.2 may be the last available for this router. If I were to replace this router with another that was likely to be supported by merlin over the longer term which would be the best choice? Just to add, the rt ax56u meets all my...

    Merlin fw 386.7.2 Asus rt ax56u -possible problem

    Re: setting custom 2 made any difference I’m not too sure why. More then that shouldn’t have applied it to the whole network because you specify devices. That's exactly the puzzle. 1) I don't think it should have happened and changing the setting of he custom 1 to 2 shouldn't have made a...
