    Tutorial Adding custom SSID and specific VLAN (for IOT for example)

    Hello, I will describe here my experience regarding the creation of an additional SSID (on top of the main and guest ones) on a R7800 in AP mode, with @Voxel's firmware, and having it in its own VLAN. So I have my main router (no wifi) under OpenWrt. The router is connected with ethernet to...

    Disabling "Access Intranet" on RT-AX86U guest network causes IoT devices on primary network to repeatedly disconnect

    Hi, I'm having an issue where some cheap Zengge (Magic Home) LED controllers are repeatedly losing connection to my primary wireless network whenever I disable "Access Intranet" on my guest network. Previously I kept all IoT devices on my guest wifi network and disabled the bridging, as a...

    How exactly do IoT smart devices pose a threat to home networks?

    I'm just curious, how exactly does a smart lock, or a light bulb or a smart kitchen appliance pose a threat? If you have your router properly set-up, disabled UPnP, enabled the firewall and no port forwarding, then there's no way some remote hacker can enter my home network through a security...

    IoT Botnet, or GUI Bugs?

    Hi all, First of all apologies in advance for what might be an amateurish or potentially annoying post. I swear there's only 2 voices in my head ;) Here's the backstory: I replaced an old AC router in a guest house with my RT-AC66U B1 running Merlin (had not been used since 2021). I was...

    ROG GT-AX11000 Separate IOT Network

    I am currently reworking my home network and am trying to set up a separate network specifically for IOT devices. I have two routers in an AIMesh setup: - GT-AX11000 : Main Router - RP-AC1900 : Node I have set up a Guest Network that I was hoping to use for IOT, and it's in the Network...

    RT-AX92U Struggling with 2.4ghz IoT devices... Firmware or something else?

    Hi folks, I've got three RT-AX92Us as the backbone of my home network. The first one I bought has been my primary router since purchasing it (maybe a year ago?) and it seemed to work fine, working with two older routers acting in access point mode. When one of those older routers died, I got a...

    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...

    GT-AX 11000 issue with Lifx String Lights

    Hello I seem to be having a pairing issue with my lifx sting lights when using Merlin FW. Has happened for a few releases now, I was able to get it to pair a while back but idk what FW# that was. I have a separate 2.4Ghz network with all the settings where they should be for maximum...

    Here are the settings that resolved my issues with iOT devices and the RT-AX86U

    Hey all, After having a very frustrating day yesterday of my smart bulbs not working correctly after the recent firmware update to my RT-AX86U, I finally was able to put together a list of settings from older iOT based threads here on the forums, and other sources I gained by reading online. I...

    Would this topology work?

    The reason for this layout is due to the fact some smart home devices can only use 2.4GHz and I'd like to keep band steering available on the main Wifi, hence having a separate IoT network. And I'd like to keep guests off both networks and on their own separate one. Since the FWG has 3 other...

    Is this setup overly complex? ASUS XT8's (AP) + XD4's

    Happy Lunar New Year to those celebrating in the forum! As I get closer to moving into my home I started to put more thought into my setup. Since it's a good idea to segregate my IoT devices (locks, Apple TV, Light Switches, etc), it caused a pickle since I plan to put my XT8's in AP mode since...

    WiFi unicast, group ciphers and group key update interval for proper operation of IoT devices

    The smart home topic discusses the operation of IoT devices and WiFi router settings. The possibility of enabling "unicast ciphers", "group ciphers" and "group key update interval" is mentioned. Is there a similar thing in the firmware for Asus? On my Asus RT-AX68U with Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4...

    RT-AX86U IOT devices, slow discovery

    A few months ago purchased RT-AX86U to supplement my prior router RT-AC86U. I moved the older AC86U to the other corner of the house, basement, in access point mode. The two routers are connected via gigabit Ethernet. Several issues: 1) Biggest issue is that I have many IOT devices around the...

    Solved Can I use AIMesh with a managed switch handling the DHCP and other main network management?

    Currently, I have a number of AC68U's running my network. All run the latest version of Merlin. Router 1 handles the incoming fiber line and does the heavy lifting for the firewall, DHCP, and AiMesh master node. The other 3 act as nodes and do their thing. I would like to replace Router 1...
