Actually the FQDN trailing "." is usually implied. When a DNS server receives a request to resolve an FQDN to an IP address without the trailing "." , the server automatically adds it before scanning it's tables. It's not incorrect to specify the trailing ".".
It is incorrect according to RFC1035, there should always be a label (ascii name) after a dot. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

RFC1035 specifies that a label field can not exceed 63 bytes but in the rightmost position it can be zero bytes in length according to RFC1034. The domain names are hierarchically structured similar to Linux/Unix where "/" is the top node in the directory structure and "/bin" and "/sbin", etc. are sub-directories. In DNS, the "." is the root or top node in the hierarchy and ".com" and ".gov", etc. are substructures. Since the rightmost label is zero bytes in length, it's not necessary to use the trailing "." as it is implied.

the problem is, we have to deal with such isp's. no matter if its correct or not _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking? Sounds like a Mac to me.." - Louis Rossmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL_5YDRWqGE&t=60s

Hi,
I just got my Nightwish, and have some mixed feelings. After being away from customization due to an Airport Extreme, Im now back.
Naturally, I glanced at DD-WRT after checking out the stock FW. However, there are two questions that come into mind:
1. Doesnt DD-WRT really have a "guest network" feature, like the stock FW? There its setup in 10 seconds. In DD-WRT, the only guides I found included setting up bridges, extra subnets etc, which is a hazzle. I assume DD-WRT would host such a service since its been around for so long?
2. The stock FW include a Up and Down QoS feature, prioritizing DLNA media etc before downloads automatically, I guess with some give rules. Does this FW has that same feature as well? Or do I need to fiddle with some settings beyond "enable" it?
3. Does the DD-WRT utilize all the hardware as the stock FW does? Maybe a stupid question, but hey, we're all new at some point. What Im thinking about is the beaming technology, the new chipset's power, the .ac protocol etc.

in dd-wrt you can create virtual ap's aka guest networks (up to 16) since 2006. you can use it as client, as repeater. dd-wrt is much more flexible here, so calling it guest network would be too simple. its up to you how you configure your guest network. and yes we have QOS, for sure we have a dlna server, ftp server samba server and countless other features. (if your hardware has anough flash space).
but whats supported and possible depends clearly on the device you own.
and we use the full hardware spec, in face even more than the original firmware does. especially the wireless chipset can do much more than the vendor is unlocking to you. especially atheros based devices offer a great flexibility here. _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

Not sure if you know it by now, but a few minutes time reading this thread would have probably answered your questions already.
Probably tomorrow comes a new build which allows isolated guest networks to browse the internet while transparent proxy for adblocking is enabled. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

That guide is good for older builds, where there was basically no real guest support, since I changed a lot of code, including firewall rules etc. that guide should not be followed on builds > 23020.
It is as simple as in my guide and if you do not follow it, than don't come and whine if something is not working. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Sorry if it's been asked before but I couldn't find it.
This is my second routers which have the same problem, the first one I was be able to return but this one is too late. I follow Kong's instruction to reverse back to stock. The flashing process was successfully complete but after it reversed back to stock firmware, the default log in admin/password is not working even I do 30/30/30 reset.
Please help..

Yeah that stupid 30/30/30. I already said it multiple times on newer units build in the last 2 years this is not the way to do it:-)
On the R7000 it is done differently. I think it is power on, right after power on, press reset button for 10s, release it. Did you checkout netgear manual, does it tell you how to reset, remember, you flashed back to netgear, thus don't use their way of resetting. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

I just updated to 23430 and noticed the unit did not reboot on its own after the update like it usually does. It looked like it was going to but then it hung with the power light glowing amber and no access. I turned it off and back on and now it seems to be working normally. Just thought I'd mention it. I chose the update with no reset. It's always completed a boot before when doing that so I figured you might want to know.
