I have setup the router to use cloudflare for DNS and I would like to force all clients on the network to use the router’s DNS setting, regardless of any settings made on the client devices. Initially I created firewall rules to drop...

    Is WPS really disabled?

    Hey all, I was curious about AsusWRT, and WPS. The toggle turns off when I set it to off, but there is a section in the configuration that still says enabled. Was curious if it's possible to fully disable WPS, or if this is just a glitch in the UI. Thanks - see attached screenshot. I have...

    AX86U on 386.7_2: Wireless falling back to 80MHz even if I set 160MHz?

    I just noticed that on the newest 386.7_2 firmware, if I set 160MHz on the 5GHz band, it will initially use 160MHz but later reduce to 80MHz (I'm seeing this using WiFi Explorer on macOS). I know 160MHz is 99% unnecessary, I just want to know if this is the intended behavior with this new...

    Three Dumb Routers concept inroduced by Steve Gibson (2016)

    Hey guys, I was poking around and came across an old Security Now episode about the Three Dumb Routers concept. It seems as growing security threats increase, this would be a good configuration to consider. (especially with more smart devices onboard.) In my case, I have three routers I could...

    Looking for some detailed info on the "Use DHCP Routes" setting

    Hey all, I'm bringing another question here, because I haven't been able to find any detailed info. What does the Use DHCP routes setting do under LAN / IPTV? By default it's set to Microsoft, but I don't think I'm using the setting, so, should I set it to disabled? Also, does it control the...

    Mesh Network Question...Too many nodes??

    I've posted previously about getting a third node for my Asus ZenWifi XT8 network. (LSS: you CAN buy just one). My question now is whether I should. I have roughly 1750 sq ft. of Living Space and 2 nodes. From the literature, it *seems* like a single node should cover the whole house but it...

    quick question about DHCP reservations

    Hey guys, Just a quick question about adding DHCP reservations to ASusWRT. Does it require clicking the apply button to save reservations? I've had routers on both sides of the fence where the DHCP reservation was saved when created, and that's it. Then on the other side, some required you to...

    RT-AC86U Guest Network Not Respecting "Enable block all devices"

    More specifically, the 2.4 GHz guest network is not respecting when I turn on "Enable block all devices". Oddly, the other 3 networks do (2.4/5 GHz regular and 5 GHz guest). I can replicate this phenomenon 100% of the time with multiple clients. I have the absolute latest firmware as of June...
