    Apple devices cannot connect to the 5Ghz network

    Currently running Merlin 388.1 on my AX88U. Both bands are "on" (2 & 5Gz) however for some reason neither my iPhone 13 Pro, or my wife's, or my MacBook Pro M1, or the MacBook Air cannot view the 5gz network. Other devices in the house (ie Samsung TVs), can view it and connect with no problems...

    network structure with AX58U, AC86U, AC68U, wireguard, TMobile 280mb/40mb internet, MQTT broker, ad blocker

    I am trying to restructure my network and looking for some advice/experience.

    [ISSUE] RT-AC88U Merlin 386.7_2

    Hi, I've just got a new router which is the AC88U. The first thing I did was to upgrade it to Merlin. Since that day every time I reload the router, I completely lose internet connectivity but only from the LAN. The router can still ping and DNS the outside. The only solution so far is to...

    RT-AC68U with 386.7_2 – – – – – – I noticed that port forwarding stops working after a few hours on my RT-AC68U router using Merlin v386.7_2. This is whether the port forwarding is activated automatically via UPnP or manually. I tried both. Same result. UPnP auto redirection is activated on...

    Please, can anyone point me to a resource that explains what this, (“enable full trust for root certificate”), does? Thank you. Edit: this question may be specific to iOS; I had installed the certificate a long time ago and it functions as expected/designed — but recently I saw this (new?)...

    Tutorial Give your Merlin some senses!

    Hi. I found a Yocto-Buzzer in my garage. I decided to give it a try with my RT-AX88U and it works! Basically this is an external programmable USB module that lets you add a buzzer, two LEDs, and even two analog inputs to your ASUS-Merlin. My programming capabilities are extremely limited but...

    Best VPN service provider for use as Router-based Wireguard client

    My router (RT-AC86U) runs asuswrt-Merlin, if that matters to anyone… been a PIA person forever, but they don’t support router-based configurations for Wireguard, and the workarounds that I know of aren’t that enticing (requiring constant tweaks, etc., just to under-deliver) it’s that time of...
