    [ 386.4 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    I would bet it's Trendnet getting their knickers in a twist over 3rd party firmware installs for non Asus routers and not Broadcom's fault. The reason I say this is that most of the Broadcom stuff is already out in the wild if you know where to look and would be impossible to kill now.... Why...

    Interesting article about VPNs

    Ditching Kape was good but he replaced it with a VPN in the cloud? Maybe for a casual user but the cloud? LoL talk about out of the pan and into the fire..... It kind of sounds like he is basically saying that he didn't even have a bad expierence with a VPN, he just lost trust in one, therefore...

    Is Smart Connect supported on the RT-AC68U (being used as an AIMesh Node)?

    AC68U when flashed to other firmwares like Fresh Tomato does indeed support band steering aka smart connect (it's an option in my routers gui) so I would hazard a guess that it is not strictly a hardware component, or at least it does not have to be hardware. I suspect Asus will never enable...

    Enable DFS/TPC 5Ghz WiFi Channels on RT-AC68U B1

    Very Respectfully, Merlin, I dont believe that is entirely correct and I will explain why in a few sentences down. To the op, if you want DFS on an ac68u, you will need to flash an older Merlin based firmware such as johns fork OR an alternative firmware like dd-wrt or fresh-tomato, both of...

    Issue with 2.4Ghz and nest / ring devices in 386.2 alpha 2

    For what its worth, I upgraded to 386.2 Beta1 yesterday from alpha2 and this is the first Merlin based firmware that correctly allows my ring doorbell first gen to connect using dhcp. previous to this, the only way I could get the ring doorbell to connect at all was to setup the ring with a...

    Solved What's CNAME of your game? This DNS-based tracking defies your browser privacy defenses

    I think you are not doing that the way it was intended. you want to add it to nano /opt/share/diversion/list/hostslist not blacklist but i think you are suppose to do it through the diversion text based gui by pressing b then 1 then 2 and finally 1 again which is "add hosts list". this will...

    [Alpha] 386.2

    i understand that cake is not available for the ac68u but i am seeing the option to enable cake under qos on my 68u. infact according to the router i currently have it enabled and running lol so i guess this is a cosmetic error?

    [Alpha] 386.2

    on my 68u I disable CTF and enable QOS and then select cake reboot etc but no matter what I do when I go to the very next tab named "Classification" it tells me: Note: QoS is not enabled. Is this normal? I understand from the post above that this is alpha release firmware so I thought I might...

    [Alpha] 386.2

    I cant seem to upgrade from 386.2_alpha1-gc52b410e89 to 386.2_alpha1-ga84fed8777 on an ac68u keep getting that asus firmware protection unsupported firmware error. I finally had to rename the 777 file with the previous build name of 0e89 and then she took fine.strange.

    connmon Negatives to constantly pinging 8.8.8.8

    This isnt quite along the lines you are/were thinking (but it is related) If I were you I would weigh the pros and cons of using that ip (Google dns) and then consider choosing a different ip to use. Perhaps 1.1.1.1. 1.0.0.1, or another ip might be more privacy friendly. IMO, Google knows way...

    Ring doorbell strange issues (laggyness and wacky ping results)

    So I have a few problem with a Ring first generation doorbell. First problem is that during doorbell setup DHCP mode fails every time. only static works. static ip would be ok except it means the doorbell doesnt show up on asus device list on the main index.asp page so I would really like to...

    Unbound unbound_manager (Manager/Installer utility for unbound - Recursive DNS Server) - General questions / discussion thread 2

    That is a huge shame and I feel shocked embarassed that ever happened to you. These little under powered routers barely make use of multi threading as it is. This forum does not have a smiley available here for smacking ones own self in the forehead but if there was i would use it. Yes, I'd be...

    Unbound unbound_manager (Manager/Installer utility for unbound - Recursive DNS Server) - General questions / discussion thread 2

    running unbound_manager advanced 1.12.0 & 3.23b7 on a 68u running on Merlin 386.2_alpha1-gc52b410e89 i press 3 and when the options show up i notice one says to type in vb to backup the current configuration. So that sounds good to me right? so i type vb and press enter and this pops up...

    Solved AC68 AiMesh - pingloss with backhaul connected

    is spanning tree enabled on all the devices? if not, try enabling it and then restart everything and give everything a few minutes to settle down after the last device is finished restarting and finally try your tests again.

    Anyone know what these NVRAM settings do?

    I believe (though maybe incorrectly so) that sar has to do with limiting radiation emissions as it pertains to humans. I think I know what you are trying to do and I hope you are on the right track. Pls, keep me informed if you get anywhere.
