    ASUS ZenWifi ET8 GNUton Firmware question

    Hi. I am considering getting an ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 mesh system to upgrade from my stand-alone RT-AC86U router. However, I saw that it does not support IPTV, but I wonder if the GNUton firmware does. I need the IPTV to set the VLAN to 201 so I can bridge into Centurylink Fiber without using their...

    AX86U after fw upgrade: The Country Code is not exist! Please enter Country Code.

    Dear all, I face the above problem... I have an AX86U. I did find two similar threads, but my router was bought by me, and worked well (more on that in a second!), until I upgraded from 386.3_2 to 3004.388.5. A bit longer story: I noticed, that the router could not mount my HDDs (4 of them are...

    Sudden network issues, looking to fully reset my TUF-AX5400 router running Gnuton's Merlin fork

    Hey, been a while. After applying the most recent firmware updates to my TUF-AX5400, I'm noticing both slower overall speeds on all connected hardware, as well as higher ping on my PC that's using a media bridge (RT-AC56U, running John's fork) in place of a hardwired cable connection. I'm not...

    Entware Ycast for entware

    Hi, Since Vtuner became a paid service, a lot of older AV receivers do not have free access to net radio. There is a project named Ycast https://github.com/milaq/YCast which emulates the service and does not need much computing power, it would be great to have on Asus Merlin router. Looks too...

    Plans to migrate to OpenSSL 3.0?

    The current firmware is using OpenSSL 1.1.1, which already ends support in September 2023. This means that it is no longer possible to get public security updates since last month. I still remember that it took about a year to migrate from OpenSSL 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 in 2019. I know there's so much...

    I keep getting strange CPU utilisation spikes on my AX86U for the past few months and I cant figure out how to fix it. I've done numerous L&LD resets & minimal config before performing more resets and I still can't find the cause of this. It only occurs on core 3. Whenpon SSH into my router and...

    AdGuardHome Adguard Auto Update Option

    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.

    Solved AX88U bought in China came with Merlin Pre-installed. Is it dodgy?

    Hey lads. Been living in China for a good few years running astrill off the app but have found it to be dropping connection more regularly recently. Decided to bite the bullet and get a router that I can run a VPN off. Have a couple of mates who already did it and their connection seldom drops...

    RT-AC86U VLAN-like modifications to guest network

    Hello all! I'm using an RT-AC86U with Merlin and I would like to have three different wireless networks (all with different SSIDs and passwords): one for trusted devices, one for guests, and one for IoT devices. On the guest and IoT networks, I want all devices to be isolated. At this point...

    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...

    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...
