I don't recallDid you have this problem with previous versions of Merlin?
What entries are showing for your WAN DNS when you have it set to your ISP? See here:I don't recall
Post the contents of /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq and try the nslookup with each listed server individually like you did with 8.8.8.8. Maybe one of your ISP DNS servers is unreachable.
No didn't try to go back to oem firmware. Factory Reset was to be sure merlin was properly configured since I always did in-place upgrade without configuration reset.
Do you have DNSSEC enabled? Most (all?) ISP DNS servers are not DNSSEC enabled or are misconfigured for DNSSEC. Google DNS idoes support it.
@Nodiaque
ssh to the router and run the following command when you are having the problem
/usr/bin/killall -s USR1 dnsmasq
then post the stats it will have written to the syslog
@joe scian
Missed the screen shot...was a bit too small on the screen I was using.
It's also not relevant to his problem which is DNS resolution and not what DHCP options are pushed to the client.The special address 0.0.0.0 is taken to mean "the address of the machine running dnsmasq".
Because your dnsmasq.conf had this entry:Why are you saying I have another Asus device on .1? This is a PC with an asus motherboard.
dhcp-host=E0:CB:4E:F9:6D:FE,set:E0:CB:4E:F9:6D:FE,192.168.0.1
E0:CB:4E ASUSTek COMPUTER INC.
If that's a PC, fine by me.Trying to help you has become an effort. Wishing you the best of luck with solving your problem.I'm wondering what you call an effort...
