Linksys WRT1900ACS
Firmware DD-WRT v3.0-r60269 std (03/12/25)
Kernel Linux 6.1.130-rt28 #1026 SMP Wed Mar 12 09:51:40 +07 2025 armv7l

Upgraded by CUI.
Wan IP :Yes
DNS: no works until removed all 5 undefined items under Security->Firewall->Block WAN Requests.
(I did not measure which undefined is the key caused the dns refused ONE BY ONE)
Thank BS!

[WENED]

Same problem as previous version. WAN appears to be connected but no internet.
Reverted to 60137

[saphirely]

all 5 undefined items, later displayed as:
Detect and Block Port Scanners
Slowdown connection attempts (Tarpit)
Filter TCP-SYN floods
Filter UDP floods
Filter Ping Echo request floods

[saphirely]

I chose all except "Filter UDP floods" , DNS works.

I wonder whether I also filer UDP floods, my DoQ works or not. Perhaps later will test.

[saphirely]

@WENED

Please verify your Securite->Firewall->Block WAN requests.
If you ignore something of below:
1.Detect and Block Port Scanners
2.Slowdown connection attempts (Tarpit)
3.Filter TCP-SYN floods
4.Filter UDP floods
5.Filter Ping Echo request floods

For me, I keep 1,2,3,5 and it works.

Thank you this worked.

It seems there was a major change here and should be posted so everyone is aware. I would not have noticed it as I don't check for changes such as this.

[kernel-panic69]

This is a prime example where brevity and strict adherence to one's own swim lane results in a gotcha. Thanks for the feedback,
but I doubt there will be any kind of remedy of the situation that isn't a complete train wreck.

[kernel-panic69]

[saphirely]

I added Filter UDP floods: 50 for testing,
DoQ(dnsproxy pure not https3 works) and M$ Teams worked but displayed connection trouble.

So change "Filter UDP floods: 64" try again.
It works without displaying connection trouble.

If you need to co-operate with M$ Teams, I am glad to share with you.

Mode/Status: AP
Issues/Errors: AP still unstable, loses the connection, I returned to the r60137

r60269 has been working for me after above firewall changes. Would occasionally drop WiFi connections but reboot would bring everything back up. It seemed slow when browsing taking time to open new links but worked well otherwise. Releases after r60269 have had issues for me so I've remained on r60269 since release. No problems logging into any sites.

Still . . Proton OpenVPN setup would not connect nor would Amazon tablets/readers. Yesterday could not log in at my bank. Later Roku's lost connection. Switched out to my backup router and still had the same issues. Trouble shooting I found that after disabling ProtonVPN Wireguard I could log in. Considered the possibility it was entirely ProtonVPN's issue?? Not being able to use ProtonVPN's OpenVPN connection OR their Wireguard setup would leave me with no working VPN client???

Out of frustration I reverted to r55630. ProtonVPN OpenVPN setup connected and all WiFi devices connected. Version is stable for the past 14 hrs and no connections loss. Not sure what has happened since r55630 but it's the last release, for me, where everything works as expected. I'm going to run it for a couple of days hoping there are no security loss. Seems I spend a lot of time nowadays just trying to get firmware updates to work??

Expecting delivery of new ASUS router Monday so I'll see how that goes.

Edit: Received and setup router. VERY pleased so far. All wifi devices connect. ProtonVPN OpenVPN and WireGuard both work. Has ASUSWRT firmware so may be a future DD-WRT device. Setup seems sorta, kinda familiar but takes some getting used to. VPN Fusion is where you install clients. Disabled wifi 6 for now as I have no supporting devices.

https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-7/all-series/asus-rt-be92u/techspec/

Had initial issue setting which devices used the vpn. Found post below which set me straight and had immediate success. My understanding was flawed. See question #2 at the very bottom of this link. https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/faqs-networking/wireless-router-how-to-set-up-a-openvpn-client-in-vpn-fusion/ta-p/1087455

My MB8611 modem now has all connections blue since being connected to the RT-BE92U router (also replaced all cables with CAT-8's). Best wired/wifi speeds I've ever had. Tip, use the "Quick Internet Setup" button rather than the "Manual Setup" button (it seems I'm not THAT smart). After quick setup THEN start making changes. Only negative so far was Trend Micro's free AiProtection . . must consent to data collection to use so I left that off. Unlike my returned router . . this one supports VPN Servers AND Clients out of the box (at no charge). Hoping for future DD-WRT firmware :)

I've been so isolated with Linksys that I'm just finding out there is another firmware available for ASUS called Merlin. They have a release for the RT-BE92U but it is considered unstable for now. Probably give it a try when stable.

Link to supported routers - https://sourceforge.net/projects/asuswrt-merlin/files/

More than you want to know about the two firmware's. https://dongknows.com/asuswrt-merlin-firmware/

Hoping the Merlin files may accelerate the DD-WRT support???

Installed Merlin today and it went well. Still no "stable" version available for the RT-BE92U but a BETA2 was available. So far seems stable with all devices connected. I was temporarily lost on assigning devices to either VPN (OpenVPN/Wireguard) as Merlin does not have "VPN Fusion". It is replaced with VPN Director. After finding the article below, it was easier to do than the stock method. The trick was to assign each VPN to use the VPN Director. I suggest waiting for a stable Merlin version as I tend to jump off cliffs. Still, I'm really hoping to see a DD-WRT firmware for this router.

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/VPN-Director

Important to note on using ProtonVPN OpenVPN. Uploaded ProtonVpN .ovpn file and vpn was working. Noticed OpenVPN DNS servers were visible at https://ipleak.net . Finding link below I realized the Crypto Settings/Auth Digest had been left blank during setup upload. Entering SHA512 per ProtonVPN setup info removed the servers from being seen and sped up my connection some.

https://protonvpn.com/support/openvpn-asuswrt-merlin-router/

Currently running the Merlin "release" firmware for the RT-BE92U that's not a beta with no issues. https://sourceforge.net/projects/asuswrt-merlin/files/RT-BE92U/Release/

Having assigned my devices static IP's (Lan/DHCP Server) I went to LAN/DNS Director and changed my Roku's DNS's from 9.9.9.9 to Adguard Ad Blocker (from drop down list) and no longer had ads on my Roku home pages. No issues so far.

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/DNS-Director

Still hoping for a DD-WRT release for this router.

Update: Running the RT-BE92U with only 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz enabled I decided to test the router fully. I enabled Wifi 6 (160 MHz) and Wifi 7 (320 MHz) mode. I have no devices for either but wanted to test for any issues that might arise with those two enabled (future proofing after all). After several weeks I've had zero issues, no reboots, no 2.4 GHz/5 GHz/wired connection drops or other problems. Not sure if enabling those are responsible but I got about 20-30 Mb DL speed increase. Also, all of my wifi devices (old/new) still connect with no issues.

My setup uses no option that gives consent for data collection/third party access. i.e. AiProtection, AdaptiveQoS,Traffic Analyzer, AirCloud 2.0, Amazon Alexa and Instant Guard are disabled/Off on my setup. I needed none of that. I also withdrew permissions on the Administration/Policy tab. Using it as a basic router w/ VPN Client. I've been really happy with performance of this router.

Update 8/16/25

Still hoping for DD-WRT firmware???

Bought my first new computer in about 10 yrs. It has WiFi 6 wireless capability via an antenna in the back of the case. I was eager to see if my ASUS WiFi 7 router would connect . . it did. I have WiFi 7 enabled as well as WiFi 6 and I've had zero issues, no dropped connections or reboots at all with this ASUS router using Merlin firmware. All devices connect, old and new. These readings are going thru my ProtonVPN OpenVPN via Quad9 DNS @ 9.9.9.11. I have WireGuard installed but haven't tried it with this computer yet. Windows 11 sees my WiFi connection as below -

This is the computer I got. I updated the Memory to 64 Gb from Amazon as BestBuy doesn't carry the T-Force brand memory.

Memory used - https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-T-Force-6000MHz-PC5-48000-Desktop/dp/B0BNTV8S98

Had to buy two pacs as they don't sell singles. Oddly enough I had to order on two different days as they won't let you order but one box at a time???

I am very impressed with this computer. I had never seen one prior but the construction is incredibly perfect. Runs like a champ with zero issues so far. Took a while to get the lights to a single blue with no strobing :) Definitely way more than I need but . . maybe not as my games, Sony Vegas, Photoshop are easily working.

Also got an external Bluray drive - https://www.amazon.com/Archgon-Premium-Aluminum-External-Apple-MacBook/dp/B07BC9F98J

Had to have it as I have so many disks 8)
