How would I use the new selective VPN feature to allow only ASUS download master to use the VPN, but let all the other computers on my network use the regular internet? Would I just use the IP 192.168.1.1?

Thanks!

Whatever the source IP is for the device on your network you want to force through your tunnel, give it a name and enter the source IP, then add it. You may want to use a static DHCP assignment in your LAN settings to ensure consistency. All other undefined traffic will not route through your tunnel. If you want to test, get a device with a browser and enter it's IP address in the VPN client config section. Then access a site like ip chicken to see what your externally facing IP address is.

RT-AC68U

Since flashing to .53, I see VPN > OpenVPN Servers page doesn't display fully - see above. I tried rebooting the router as well as using 3 different browsers on my laptop and I also tried from my iPhone but it's exactly the same. If it's just me, I'd appreciate any suggestions - I also checked the hash of the firmware file before flashing the router.

I'm able to view it. This is using latest version of Chrome browser. I was going to suggest flushing the cache but if you've tested across 3 browsers and 2 devices. Perhaps re-uploading the firmware again (even though hash is good).

Works for me. Open your browser console, and look for any Javascript error in there.
 
please RMerlin could you take a look into print server (working via LPR protocol)?

It always says that printer is busy, after re-plugging printer it prints ONE task and then says printer is busy etc.
Unfortunatly I didn't use my printer for almost a year or 10 months, and I cannot say from what version of firmware the problem appeared, only what I know - I had very long router uptimes and when I powered up my printer, I was able to print every time, now have to reboot a router or re-plug my printer after every printing task. Maybe it's not printserver bug but something about usb driver which was updated a couple of times within the last year.

Maybe there is a method to force clearing printing queue in the print server..

tomorrow I will roll back to 374.43 which was the latest release in June-August of 2014 when all was OK, and test

Many thanks for taking the time to check. I was fairly sure it was a Javascript thing until I checked it on my iPhone. I'm glad it's me and not the firmware; knowing that is 99% of the battle. Thanks Merlin and Brill.
 
I have no way of testing this, and since printer compatibility is very much hit-or-miss based on the specific model you use, there's nothing I can do about it.
Could you please help me with some advise how to force re-detecting usb devices to emulate re-plugging usb printer? If this could be done I would like to make a script for this
 
Hi, great work Merlin
Can someone verify plz ,almost 1 day uptime with Adaptive Qos and Ai Protection activated , Signature version is still showing 1.030 and normaly with 52_2 it was 1.042.Normal? RT-AC68

I am on 53_0 on my RT-AC68U, and my signature shows 1.038
Why all these signatures are so different, does it have anything to do with hardware ID?
 
I am using the policy rules (great feature) is there a way to automatically reconnect when VPN is back on, in case the "Block routed clients if tunnel goes down" kicked in?

HI, I've just upgraded to 378.53 on y RT-N66U, in the change log file within the download package "New" ad blocker! Is this available for RT-N66U, if so were do I find this menu within the router page?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

This feature is only available on the DPI-enabled models (AC56/AC68/AC87/AC3200).
 
Trying out the ad blocking feature for the first time and knowing its experimental. Pop-up Ad Blocking won't load a couple sites I tested so I left that off. Streaming does seem to get rid of YouTube ads with no I'll effects yet. Pretty cool.

Edit - still seeing some Ads in YouTube.

Hi again,

I have a 1000Mbit connection to my ISP so when passsing 380Mbit (download) my Core 1 util 100% and only 30% while uploading about 850Mbit. Could it maybe be why you are not getting 100% for Core 1...? What kind of connection do you got?
