*FIXED* Problem with new RT-AC3100

[Spydawg]

On my new RT-AC3100 (Replaced my dead RT-AC66U)

Using latest Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67.

I'm can't seem to connect to some sites with this firmware.

For example.. https://gitlab.com it just times out..

But if I use latest Asus Firmware this site any a few others works fine.

As this is a new RT-AC3100, I flashed Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67, did a factory reset after flash too.

But like I said the Official Asus firmware works fine.. This is my only issue with Merlins Build.

I did not try to go back to an earlier Merlins Build.

I read something in the Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 post about following...

URL Filter doesnt seem to work anymore.
iptables -L -v doesnt show any entries.
disabling and enabling doesnt help.
Removing and adding new URL's doesnt help either.

Not sure if that is the problem, as I'm not using any URL Filters

Hmm, that is a strange one. I was getting blocked when accessing GitHub.com last week. But it ended up being one of the blocking scripts I run. I had to whitelist it for it to work. Here are some other things to look at.

You can try issuing the "nslookup gitlab.com" command in windows cmd prompt or router SSH session. Does it return an IP address? Then try to ping the IP address it returns. Here are some other tips:

I'm not running any blocking scripts. I'm gonna try an older version of Merlins firmware to see if it helps..
It's strange really, never had any issues with Merlins firmware before.

I'll try to nslookup and ping..

Thanks

Another thought. Trying changing your DNS server in the WAN-Internet Connection Page. OpenDNS server IP addresses are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Google is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Thanks for the help.

I did get this working, after installing Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67, I had to factory reset, power off unit, power on again, factory reset again, reboot.....
Strange but it's now working.

New unit bugs i guess..
