Suggestions for Merlin Add-ons

[heysoundude]

Maybe someone with the skills/knowledge and has this model and is able to successfully compile an image could share

The thread has been there all along, and already referenced a few times in this thread, @motox22a. Clicka da link! Follow the posts there and you’ll have a working instance is my guess...but it’s all command line. A GUI implementation would be awesome, but it’s in the hands of people who know much more and have greatly different skills from mine (and most around here). That’s why I mentioned the prospect of custom building a fork of Merlin...

RT-AC86u are HND right? Maybe someone with the skills/knowledge and has this model and is able to successfully compile an image could share

Including third party's kernel modules in the firmware image makes immediate updates difficult.
Because every time a new snapshot comes out, you have to create a new firmware.
And this is how voxel included WireGuard in his firmware.
Lets think. If you released a firmware with a new snapshot yesterday, and a vulnerability is discovered today, then you need to release a new firmware today.

I’m also imagining a single page for all DNS settings since we often end up asking people with DNS problems to go to 3 different pages to tell us what their relevant DNS settings are.

Would be really awsome I would hope/suggest to even see other DNS options/settings on that page (DNSPrivacy DoT/Unbound/DNSCrypt v2/NextDNS/Stubby-Installer)
All DNS options/settings/protocols in one place

That'll be perfect.
Talking about nextdns, the implementation they have works without flaws but it's very obscure. Like we don't know what's going on on router, because if we go to wan page, it seems were were regular DNS or DoT.

is there already a log/page, to see connections made to the router's vpn server during the last week or so?

Astrill-like VPN client with easy features setup: server list, favourites, kill-switch, selective routing, DNS selection.

Then I also vote for that USB device copy/clone feature. It has been sitting at the top of the amtm feature list i keep. I just have not had the urge or kick to code it. It would have to depend on firmware binaries only, for obvoius reasons.

You have my vote for this feature.

I've got a script for NordVPN that queries their api and can be triggered to switch to their recommended server or set up cron for scheduled checking and switching (including removal of the cron entries). If other VPN providers have an api, it could easily be adapted to incorporate them! I started a thread here but had no replies

Just need to figure out the Web front end for it.

For those of us who are investors, how about a scrolling Stock Market Ticker for ASUSTek stock somewhere near the top of the System Status window under Network Map?

RMerlin once built a first April prank into the firmware, the changelog even mentioned it. But no one reads changelogs, and we were all looking in awe at our routers UI headers. Well, not all were in awe, some unimagitive users found that not so funny. Sadly, there have been no more such pranks by him.

Screenshots or it didn't happened curious to see what it was!

That was awesome. And telegraphed in advance for those who followed the source! https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-me...b5ef597#diff-d05c0953f7faa51c4dc6998680054743

You're always present. Just as the search feature that most of the time most of us forget to use

Edit - hoooo looking at the source it also moved another 5 dg when hovered

The screenshots don't do it justice - you had to see it gradually fall to get the full effect of how silly it looked.

ENCORE! ENCORE!

cd /jffs/
wget https://www.lostrealm.ca/temp/index_style.css
mount -o bind /jffs/index_style.css /www/index_style.css

Make sure you try to push the titlebar back in place with your mouse pointer for the full effect.

Idea: A Gui page, or text file, or whatever, that shows any setting that does not match (i.e. has been changed) the default value.

This would aid when migrating/upgrading from one router to another or reconfiguring after a reset.

And it’s compatible with John’s fork!

That’s awesome. Maybe you need a trick for the “non authentic” routers to keep moving the AIMesh button every time they try to add their illegal routers. Like that old Windows gag to keep moving the Ok button away from the mouse.

Absolutely amazing! Just creating a start script so it can be there forever.

Doesn't fall on mobile can you please fix through a firmware update or is this amazing feature part of ASUS closed source?
@dave14305 please use your debug skills!
