    DNS not working directly from router but works fine everywhere else on network - nslookup server 0.0.0.0

    Good question; getting rid of it was the first thing I wanted to do with it - not so bothered about the landline as it cost no extra but would be nice to have I suppose. To my amazement I did actually get their PPPoE details from chat support (after a million hours of phone hell) but my hopes...

    DNS not working directly from router but works fine everywhere else on network - nslookup server 0.0.0.0

    Thanks, the thread is relatable haha. I'll look more into this 'open host function' option as it was an idea I'd initially condsidred but wanted make sure I knew all the security implications 1st.

    DNS not working directly from router but works fine everywhere else on network - nslookup server 0.0.0.0

    What doesn't work? Somehow everything works OK except this one specific niggling thing. I definitely don't have more than one DHCP server running. Never really considered that the status of a wan port could cause such DNS behaviour but it's as good an explanation as any. Agreed, this is the...

    DNS not working directly from router but works fine everywhere else on network - nslookup server 0.0.0.0

    It's a Vodafone Vox3.0 THG3000 (Technicolor) heavily customised and locked down to the ISP Vodafone https://openwrt.org/toh/vodafone/vodafone_power_station It's so bad that it doesn't have an option for bridge mode or anything similar (some settings even inexplicably require the use of a phone...

    DNS not working directly from router but works fine everywhere else on network - nslookup server 0.0.0.0

    No but I vaguely remember trying this at first and something not working right, so I settled on a lan port. Maybe because there are one or more switches between them? Conflicting because of being the same network?

    It's there but it appears to be an empty file. Sorry, I forgot to post the other output:

    DNS not working directly from router but works fine everywhere else on network - nslookup server 0.0.0.0

    I'm getting this odd result when using network tools to do an nslookup on my RT-AC5300: Pings also just say bad address. Same results over SSH, but when I specify a DNS server to use it works fine eg: I've been struggling to find a definitive answer anywhere about why it's trying to use...

    Possible RT-AC5300 performance degradation

    These screenshots are a further example of the sort of speed inconsistencies I've been experiencing. I'm almost certain that in the past my big steam downloads always stayed near the upper limit of my connection speed. I now suspect more than ever that my ISP has borked something.

    Possible RT-AC5300 performance degradation

    Hmm I currently have all of those networks enabled 2.4 as my main, and the 2 5s as lightly used guest networks. Strangely enough I'm not getting the poor wired performance today. Maybe that last firmware update did the trick after all... EDIT: nope, youtube buffering still happening, it's just...

    Possible RT-AC5300 performance degradation

    I'm struggling to find the root cause of home network issues that keep plaguing me ever increasingly. Not 100% sure but I think it was roughly around the time I went from stock to Merlin firmware in Jun 2020 that my issues began to arise. Also over this time I've gradually added a few more...

    Admin password changed after installing Merlin

    I did not. OK I will try that.

    Admin password changed after installing Merlin

    I just flashed the latest Merlin firmware on my Asus RT-AC5300 from the default and now I'm unable to log in. I didn't see any documentation saying the password would change and it seems strange since it's my understanding that no other settings are supposed to change either. I tried the default...
