When I did my previous update, they hadn't enabled DoT on those family servers yet. I'll double check if it's changed.Hi, could you help me figure out how to use DNS over TLS with the cloudflare for families 1.1.1.3 and 1.0.0.3 rather than the default 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1? Could they be added to future releases, or is there a file I can edit? Thanks for making this awesome firmware, my wifi throughput and range is so much better!
Oh didn't know that. Thanks for checking. Is my next "safest" option to not use DoT but use 1.1.1.3 and 1.0.0.3?When I did my previous update, they hadn't enabled DoT on those family servers yet. I'll double check if it's changed.
They just closed the thread for Family DoT support at the beginning of Jan. Tested with some 'unsavory' sites and it looks like it's working.Oh didn't know that. Thanks for checking. Is my next "safest" option to not use DoT but use 1.1.1.3 and 1.0.0.3?
No, that's part of my fork only. On Merlin, you have the ability to directly add the server manually as part of the gui.Can "stubby-update-resolvers.sh" be used to update Merlin 386.1 firmware on RT-AC68U's DoT DNS resolvers also to add Cloudflare Family DoT servers?
47 or 46? ()-8The next release, 47E9, is now available.

Builds with 'E' are the formal releases, builds with 'D' are Development/test releases
One other, very unrelated, issue is that the router asks me multiple times to login when accessing its GUI via 192.168.1.1. Oddly, when I logout and try to access the GUI again, I am taken straight to the logged in GUI without having to login again...
Unfortunately not, I'm using Safari. I think I'm using two extensions for it (Honey and Ecosia).Using Firefox? This happened to me at one point with certain extensions, never found out exactly which extension or setting as I changed many at once, but likely those privacy related.
Safari is an ongoing problem with this fork with a problem Apple never addressed and an incompatibility with some fork security enhancements that depend on the browser maintaining a connection to the router . Do a search in the fork archive for 'Safari'Unfortunately not, I'm using Safari.
I would have thought 380.7 was before the new checks, but apparently not. Try loading via the recovery tool or CFE mini web server.I have a N66U. Still running 380.7 Merlin. I have tried updating to this fork but get the following error.
Using Chrome/Kubuntu 20.04.1
Haven't had any similar reports I can remember. Maybe some exact data oshowing what you are seeing would help.My router mostly seems great but I've got a bit of a problem with the wifi.
On boot the 5GHz wifi seems great but after a while, it starts to... degrade in speed. This is mostly obvious when streaming HD videos from my local media server to my phone/laptop (the videos buffer).
This degradation of wifi speed also happens when we run too many video streams to our various laptops/phones at once. After stopping the streams the wifi speed doesn't seem to quite come back to what is originally was and the router needs rebooting.
Hi John,Haven't had any similar reports I can remember. Maybe some exact data oshowing what you are seeing would help.
But I'll mention a few things to think about...
- wifi is half duplex, so your max available bandwidth will be about 1/2 of your connect speed (newer routers do better)
- wifi is shared bandwidth, so as you add streams they all share the max available bandwidth
- the wifi log connect speeds are 'instantaneous' values, and may be greatly reduced for idle clients or clients in powersave mode
There is no 380.7, this must be 380.70.I would have thought 380.7 was before the new checks, but apparently not. Try loading via the recovery tool or CFE mini web server.
