    Has anyone made script which updates AdGuardHome without re-configurations questions which comes when we setup for first time ? Maybe some cron can do the job. Whenever upgrading it asks similar questions. Thanks for the great product.

    RT-AC68U freezing when downloading via 5G

    Hey, folks. I've been trying to debug this for some time now reading through the forum but I couldn't solve it by any means. Maybe I'm just dumb but well, here's the deal; my ISP sometimes give me more bandwidth than it should, although my contract is for 700mbits, there's times in the day that...

    Community Fibre 1Gb - Asus AC86U or Linksys Velop?

    I've just had Community Fibre 1Gb installed. They installed a Linksys Velop router (but no nodes) and a modem. My existing setup was 2 x Asus AC86U to create a mesh network and I was very happy with the coverage so I simply plugged their modem into my Asus router and the connection seems to be...

    Explicit oVPN routing

    Good day! I am trying to set up an .ovpn profile on my RT-AX86U with last 3004.388.4 firmware by Merlin. In the .ovpn config there is an explicit routing to use VPN only for specific websites. The problem is that when I put this config in the VPN client of the router all the traffic goes...

    Best Cake settings for 5G Home Internet

    What are the best Cake QOS settings (WAN packet overhead values) for 5G Home Internet (Verizon 5G or others)? Currently running a RT-AX58U with Merlin. I know 5G is unpredictable but if I put in manual bandwidth caps that are very conservative (50%-60%) what would be good WAN packet overhead...

    DuckDNS with LetsEncrypt

    I wanted SSL for both my DuckDNS domain and subdomains, but got stuck with a pesky LetsEncrypt error.

    GL.iNet Flint Alternatives

    Hi all I will be in the market for a new router soon and the Flint seemed like the perfect fit, however I've been reading that the firmware can be buggy and as they use their own flavour of Open-WRT it would not have the latest features/security updates. I've been looking into some of the WiFi...

    NextDNS CLI Merlin GUI

    I just found out about Nextdns CLI and its support for asus-merlin. Was the GUI ever implemented? It is kind of a let down to see the excitement this thread started with and then how it abruptly ended. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/nextdns-installer.61002/#post-538162 I scanned the...
