    Asus router DNS errors

    Thanks for the reply. I got a call back today from the retailer and they said it's being replaced. Didn't get any specifics on what the problem was, but sounds like it could've been faulty. I read about the wrt merlin firmware, but didn't dig to understand the details. I got a TP-Link AX53...

    Asus router DNS errors

    With the trouble I had with this router so far and the frustration, I decided that I'm going to get a new router while this one goes back to the retail shop. While waiting for the new router to arrive today, I went through the router's settings again this morning because it started acting out...

    Asus router DNS errors

    It seems that whether it's a successful or unsuccessful connection, the log states "rc_service: watchdog 465:notify_rc start_dnsmasq" Seems there might be a firmware version update coming soon, based on this forum...

    Asus router DNS errors

    Appreciated. I've made everything auto again and just going to deal with whatever comes next. The retail store says an average wait time of 2 weeks can be expected to confirm whether the device is faulty or not. I'll try to get a different router over the weekend from a friend and see if the...

    Asus router DNS errors

    I don't mind, but the latest seems to be on the router already. Not even sure if firmware with same versions can be re-installed, and if it would even make a difference. I'm just annoyed that for some the default setup works but others have issues. I always try to make it work through. Seems...

    Asus router DNS errors

    Finally found it online, under the V3 router, which is the one I have. It's also the latest, which is already installed

    Asus router DNS errors

    I didn't have to, because the version of the firmware already installed is actually later than the ones on Asus's support page. Strangely, the version applied on the router does not even show in the list on Asus's support page. Firmware version - Installed: 3.0.0.4.386_21649 (can't find this...

    Asus router DNS errors

    Yea, I can't find much info on the WINS, and perhaps didn't dig deep enough yet. But did change the settings to this: There's WAN - Internet Connection settings, and then there's LAN - DHCP settings. Honestly a confusable GUI in some areas. These settings are like I had them before, and...

    Asus router DNS errors

    Strange. When you connect the router, it gives you 2 options in the web GUI. 1. Add new connection 2. Advanced configuration I've tried both options with same results. Also, with each new setup (from the total 4 I've done so far), I've made the router login and Wifi SSID names unique. I...

    My apologies, you are right. That was a terrible response from my end. Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Killer(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (201NGW) DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes...

    Asus router DNS errors

    Thanks. Yea, I haven't actually done testing like that via the ONT directly. I'll try that tonight. It's just strange to me that by default a DLink router from 3-4 years ago didn't give any issues, while all of a sudden after getting this Asus one started giving me the problems.

    Asus router DNS errors

    Thanks. I looked at the status presented by the routers web GUI and for 2 devices running browser tabs consecutively, while one of them might be streaming Netflix, the router is running on 86% RAM usage. Now if that's the case of normal RAM usage for this router, then I'm afraid the RAM is too...

    Asus router DNS errors

    I recently bought an Asus RT-AC58U Wifi router as a replacement for a D-Link router that died. They seem pretty much the same with configurable settings and default setup. I have a fibre line with Vumatel and ISP with Afrihost. Ever since the upgrade I have been getting DNS errors, ranging from...
