The subnet and final address are blocked out in the image. This makes all hosts on my network resolvable as “”.Ĭ) Set the DHCP starting and ending range, for example 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.150. A few things to note:Ī) “Enable the DHCP Server” should be Yes.ī) The routers Domain Name can be blank or you can set it to what you want, just don’t use one of the top level domains like com, net, org, etc. Open the LAN menu, and “DHCP Server” tab. If the name doesn’t show up, click it’s MAC address (top one) and define it in the pop-up window that appears. Before proceeding, to make things easier, make sure all devices in the ASUS Client list have a name showing up. I couldn’t find any definitive guides on setting this up, only that it could be done. The ASUSWRT makes it a lot simpler to accomplish the same things. Guest addresses received tighter restrictions and lower bandwidth. With DD-WRT I broke the DHCP range into two and had QOS rules in place for each group. Which let any guests pickup other addresses. Within the DHCP addresses I reserved the first 20 (via DHCP reservations) for our devices. With DD-WRT I had non-DHCP addresses allocated in a certain range (0-99), and DHCP addresses from 100 to 255. The dnsmasq service used by ASUSWRT operates as a masquerading forwarding DNS server. I spent a lot of time managing non-DHCP addresses in that fashion with DD-WRT, and want to make management as simple as possible. There is one minor caveat in that local DNS only works for DHCP served addresses, unless you further modify the dnsmasq configuration from the command line.
#TOMATO OPENDNS UPDATER TRIAL#
After some trial and error configuration I discovered local DNS is alive and well in ASUSWRT-Merlin. I loaded ASUSWRT-Merlin on my ASUS RT-N66U. ASUSWRT-Merlin is an enhanced, and fixed (some), version of the ASUS supplied ASUSWRT.Īfter switching to ASUSWRT from DD-WRT I thought I would be losing the ability to serve local DNS. It started as a fork of the Tomato firmware project. ASUSWRT is the firmware ASUS ships on current routers.
