    Question about ASUS Merlin Media Bridge

    Hello all, Please forgive the question if it's been answered elsewhere. Copious searching has not yielded an answer yet. I've got 2 RT-AC3200 routers, both running 380.62_2. One is in "Wireless Router" mode and hooked up to one part of the network. The other is in "Media Bridge" mode and...

    Best option for CenturyLink Gigabit fiber

    So, I have been trying for the last couple of months to come up with an optimal solution for improving my CenturyLink Gigabit fiber. I have the CL ZyXel C1100Z. Terribly slow interface, but accelerates PPPoE well and if all I was doing was browsing the web, this might be good along with a...

    Secondary WIFI Networks: VLANS or SSID, or Both?

    There's a lot of information aimed at different levels so I'm confused how to achieve what I want. I have an Asus Rt-AC3100 and I want to set up multiple, isolated networks that connect to the internet. The primary network would be accessible through wifi/ports but all other networks would...

    Router Used as Smart (managed) Switch

    Hello, I'd like to implement some vlans in my home network to isolate a few IoT type devices from the rest of the network. Sticking with the asusmerlin firmware should yield the best wifi experience because of the native drivers. One key difference from most of the posts I've read on the...

    IoT - how to wall off devices while keeping them usable

    Quick background - not a newb but definitely no packet networking pro. I have advanced knowledge in TDM circuit switching which is dying a quick death and I adapt quickly to new tech when I'm thrown in the fire so to speak. I've been teaching myself packet switching/routing as I can, and have a...

    VLANs, DHCP, pfSense - Clients cannot get internet access

    Hi, I've been fighting with this for a couple of days. I have a pfSense router with a VLAN4 defined on the LAN interface tagged with id "4". That port is connected to port 1 on the router. My goal is to have a wlan on vlan4. This is how I have configured it: robocfg vlan 4 ports "1t 8t"...

    How to setup an isolated VLAN on Merlin?

    Hi All, I tried to read a few instructions but am unable to produce expected results. What I have is an ASUS RT-AC68U running merlin firmware with one AP connected. I can create an isolated SSID (one that cannot access Intranet) on ASUS without problem, but I cannot "extend" it to my AP. The...

    VLAN usage question

    (NOTE: I have read the SNB article, "VLAN How To: Segmenting a small LAN", which introduced me to the fundamentals of using the VLAN feature of a managed switch.) Let's assume I have a router and a low-end, web-managed switch that both offer VLAN capabilities. On the switch I have some ports...

    Dynamic VLAN Support

    Hello, I am considering buying an Asus RT-N66U to replace my current router. I have my network setup using WPA2-Enterprise, with a RADIUS server configured for dynamic VLAN assignment (as explained in OpenWRT's Introduction to 802.1X.) So, I have a single wireless network, and upon...

    VLANs on merlin

    I have a AC68 running the latest merlin and wanted to see if I could move my internet only IoT devices into a separate VLAN. The devices are spread around my LAN, some are wired, some wireless. Is this possible? Any chance on a user friendly version making it into the GUI? rearden

    VLANs and ASUS RT-AC66U or other routers

    I have an Asus RT-AC66U which works great for me with stock f/w (really like that Asus is still supporting it as opposed to my experience with Linksys which I will never buy again), but I want to segment my network so that a hack of an iOT device provides limited access to my larger network. I...

    Hi all, Since I had no success with overclocking my Asus router I went for a Pfsense box that handles all my VPN stuff however I've got one last bit that I want to change and that is that I want the Pfsense boxes WAN on a different network preferably a small 10.x subnet. Essentially I got two...

    How to have tagged WLAN traffic moved to a different VLAN

    I have an isolated VLAN in my N66U that I would like to be able to have tagged WLAN traffic participate in. I don't want an entire SSID on that VLAN... I just want to trunk the WLAN/SSID, like I did the switch ports. Is there any way to do this? Obviously, robocfg only configures the switch...

    VLAN based dual WAN to force one VLAN out a different port

    I spent several hours today figuring out/implementing this and I suspect that someone will find it handy (especially me a year from now). Here is the situation, my employer provides us teleworkers these awesome little Aruba RAP3 remote access points (hardware vpn essentially). But I wanted to...

    strange IPv6 VLAN tag problem

    Hi, I have an AC68U running Merlin in AP mode connected to a PCEngines APU2 running Debian stretch that's acting as my home router. In addition to the regular wifi on vlan1 I created two guest networks + vlans (8+9) for IoT and guest devices that get their own IP ranges. My problem now is...

    make httpds listen on alternative device

    Hi I'm trying to get a grasp at my router (RT-AC68U) and this firmware (v380.65) by playing around. The final goal is a super paranoid setup, but only for educational purpose. I'm trying to bind sshd and httpds to a specific device (a vlan). Sshd works, but I don't geht how I can change...
