merlin

Hi, I have an issue with Open VPN, specifically after moving to Merlin's implementation from the default Asus implementation on my Asus RT-AC66U B1. This is a bit wordy, but here's the situation: I have two Synology NAS devices. One lives in my house, the other lives in a remote location. Open...

I'm running two instances of Pihole for DNS: one on my home server, and one on a Pi. I'm also thinking about setting up Unbound as the upstream resolver for Pihole. Do you think I should install unbound on my RT-AC86U, or on one of the Pihole installations? I thought the performance might be...

Hey guys I hope this is the right sub-forum to post this. I have a RT-AC86U with latest merlin and I just SSH'd into my router and ran the command to install YazFi. I'm quite new to routers and things like this and I was under the impression I could run guest networks through my normal ISP...

I am trying to restructure my network and looking for some advice/experience. Because of having a Tmobile gateway I use wireguard peer to peer for hosting outside my network through a VPS, most of that traffic is music and nextcloud service. LAN has around 30 devices on it, WLAN has around 60...

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?)...

Hi all, I'm trying to configurate an OpenVPN with NordVPN on my Asus AX88U Merlin 386.8. I need to fill in 495 lines of code inside custom configuration but it's impossible because is very short. I loaded also a ovpn file with all configuration but result is same. I'm trying to add a...

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...

So I have been having issues setting up my home's internet connection after moving out. My ISP gave me a new modem/router which I put in bridge mode and now only my RT-AC86U is running. Right now, I am running fq_codel QOS on ASUS Merlin 386.7_2 and I am having like 110 ping in games and 220ms...

Hi There, I had rtorrent running previously, but after merlin upgrades it stopped working. I tried uninstalling and installing again, but it gives me following errors. admin@RT-AX3000-D8A0:/tmp/home/root# opkg install rtorrent-easy-install Installing rtorrent-easy-install (0.2-6) to root...

Hi All, I bought a Chinese ASUS router AX56U and when I try to install Merlin firmware it always fails. do you know how to solve the problem? I need to restore the firmware? thanks all in advance

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...

Hello! I am enjoying my RT-AC86U with Merlin. I have a question - I use a VPN provider which has many servers, and I have different VPN clients set up in the router for some particular servers. Manually I can turn each one on, or off; or select it to start up when rebooting. And I schedule a...

Hy Everybody! I have an ASUS RT-AX56U router with Merlin firmware (ver: 386.7_2). Port forward isn't working. Firewall drop all incoming packets. iptables --list command doesn't contain VSERVER chain. Forward only works after example "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 81 -j ACCEPT"...

Sorry, this is going to be long. I have an ASUS RT-AC88u connected to a FTTP 100/20 connection via an NBN NTD. A month ago the connection became unstable and eventually disconnected. After going through several checks I found that doing a factory reset on the router and then restoring my...

Hi, I’m new to this forum and new to routers. I was wondering whether someone can point me in the right direction to the RT-AX68u wireguard firmware or instructions on how I can install the client on the router. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks

SOLVED.

I just noticed that on the newest 386.7_2 firmware, if I set 160MHz on the 5GHz band, it will initially use 160MHz but later reduce to 80MHz (I'm seeing this using WiFi Explorer on macOS). I know 160MHz is 99% unnecessary, I just want to know if this is the intended behavior with this new...

Hi, I have an ASUS mesh network system -- two RT-AC3100s running the latest Merlin and AIMesh. I'm using SmartConnect to have a single SSID for both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz, connecting to the best node in the mesh network. While I'm running Merlin, I think this is a more general question, so I'm...
