    Static DHCP allocation page fails to fully load after upgrade to 380.68

    Have several static DHCP allocations to machines on my network. Upgraded to 380.68 today, then as I was going through the different UI pages, figured I'd update the hostnames of a couple of entries. Clicked to edit, adjusted hostnames, clicked + ... did this on 2-3 entries, assigning unique...

    Accessing internet-restricted devices from remote OpenVPN clients?

    Hey all, I have a cheap, crappy IP surveillance cam, and an old laser printer - both connected to my network. The laser printer hasn't had firmware updates available in awhile, and the last one available won't run on Windows 10 (vendor's "solution" - have you tried plugging it in with USB?)...

    BT MeetMe issues with 380.66_4 and RT-AC5300

    We use BT MeetMe for our company's audio conferencing needs. Unfortunately I am not able to join or host my meeting whenever I use my RT-AC5300 with Merlin at home. Doesn't also work with the latest Asus firmware for my router. If I bypass my home router and use my phone's data plan, I am...

    ASUS Hidden Smart Connect Settings Decoded

    I'm not sure if anyone here is still interested in or uses ASUS' Smart Connect feature on their newer dual and tri band routers. If so, I've found all of the hidden settings for this feature (settings not accessible in the GUI) and, for the most part, have figured out how to 100% customize it...

    Q: Proper steps to flash Asuswrt-Merlin on RT-AC5300?

    I'm not sold on upgrading from my current RT-AC68U to the RT-AC5300 but got an open box one for "cheaper" and thought I'd give it a try. And I did staring at 1am last night, so probably my failure is due to lack of sleep and not finding the right entry in this forum. Here's what I did: 1) ran...

    Anyone notice WPS turn itself back on?

    I was having a look at my router today after updating to 66_4 and noticed that WPS was enabled again. Anyone else noticed it turn back on? Not too worried, I turned it off again :) ... how it ever became part of the WiFi standard given the way it's implemented - I mean who writes an...

    Upgraded to RT-AC5300

    I have used this firmware for years on my AC-66U, and have been very happy with it. I am sure this has been asked before, but doing a quick search I couldn't find my answer. If I change my RT-AC5300 from Asus to Merlin, will I lose any of the features that come with ASUS firmware (besides...

    RT-AC5300: When WAN drops out, device unresponsive until modem powercycled

    I have an ASUS RT-AC5300. Initially it was running stock firmware, but then I hoped perhaps running the alternate firmware (Merlin) I might have some better luck. Still having the same problem unfortunately, and I wondered if people had any ideas how I might diagnose/debug. The setup is...

    2.4GHz band missing on RT-AC5300

    I just bought an ASUS RT-AC5300 and for the first hour it worked just fine. Then I've seen there's a newer firmware and I've updated (to 3.0.0.4.380.3941). Since then the 2.4GHz network doesn't work anymore. It shows up in the interface, I can configure it (though when I try to select a channel...

    Router Features with Synology NAS

    Currently, I am running an RT-AC5300 running the latest version of Merlin. However, I am considering downgrading because I am also running a Synology DS916+ NAS. The NAS makes many of the features on the 5300, such as USB media access, etc. pointless to have. I do like the interface of Asus's...
