Hello! I'm looking to see if I can mirror my way port somehow using Merlin. I would like to mirror it so all traffic is sent to another port on the router so I can hang a Snort box off of it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I guess I should add that I have an AC66R.

I don’t know about ASUS routers but to mirror a wan port is easy. Just add a switch in front of the WAN port. Then just set up a port mirror in the switch.
 
I have an old 100Mbps hub which I use to do this for short periods. Has the advantage no changes to router code whose behaviour you might be trying to observe. Contact NSA/GCHQ for more modern methods!
