    ShadowSocks on Merlin

    Hi All. I have my own VPS with ShadowSocks server installed on it. So my question: is it possible to install client only part on Merlin? The only solution I have found here looks like a transparent proxy only (ss-redir) but I want just SOCKS5 proxy on a specific port of my router to be used...

    Possible to enable multiple VPNs and dynamically select the fastest?

    Hello :wave: As the title eludes to - is it possible to setup multiple OpenVPN clients (up to 5) and then select a device to route through the VPNs, but have it dynamically select whichever VPN is the fastest? So if for example, if the VPN you are connected with fails entirely or is very slow...

    How to get (multiplayer) Nintendo Switch to work over IPv6, avoiding CGNAT

    Hi guys and gals, I'm currently with a broadband provider that offers IPv4 via CGNAT. Because of this I can't use port forwarding and have my Asus RT-AX88U (running the latest Merlin) configured to use Native IPv6. This works well for almost all normal daily internet usage and I can externally...

    Support for GS-AX3000?

    Hello, I was looking to buy either an ASUS RT-AX58U (AX3000) or the newer GS-AX3000. The GS version has the same hardware as the RT version, just with a different firmware build, which reviews say is more responsive and includes more features (cite: Dong Knows Tech). However, I do not see...

    conflict with dnsmasq and manually assigned IPs using the DHCP server?

    I started out with a several questions. In writing this post, I answered a couple of them myself. The remaining question is; Am I creating an IP conflict by having the same IP in both configurations: dnsmasq.conf.add and DHCP servers tab? I have about a dozen manually assigned IPs using the...

    Is there a way to get an AC88U to perform "single cable" link aggregation on the WAN?

    Anybody that knows what Link Aggregation (802.3ad) is might be asking why would you want to do that with only 1 cable? Isn't that defeating the purpose? And you'd be right. But I have a unique problem. Here's the issue. I have a Netgear CM1100 cable modem which has 2 Ethernet ports to support...

    Second router for duplex apartment

    Hi, I have an Asus GT-AX11000 running Merlin firmware that I love, but the signal strength is too weak on the opposite side of the downstairs of my duplex apartment.

    Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 and Merlin firmware

    Hi folks, hi Merlin :) I am upgrading to GT-Ax6000 from AX89X for two main reasons: 1) Lack of VPN tunnels per client and 2) No Merlin firmware support because of Qualcomm chipsets. Is it fair to assume that Merlin will be happy to support this router at certain point, like Ax11000 and...

    Does Merlin Support SMB2 or not?

    Do current Merlin releases support SMB2 or not? I've seen things on line which suggests it does. And others which suggest it doesn't. I just bought a used RT-AC68U because there is a Merlin install image for it, RT-AC68U_386.5_2.trx . But after I loaded it into the Asus, Windows Explorer...
