Immediately port forwarding started working and no other bugs have been found so far. Apparently this is a known “bug” and is easily remedied by logging into the DD-WRT admin panel and navigating to: Administration > Commands then typing: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE How to get Port Forwarding working on DD-WRTĪfter upgrading my Asus RT-AC66U I noticed that for some reason port forwarding was not working. Open a command prompt again and telnet into the router (192.168.1.1) but this time for the username type in root for the username for the password use the one you chose when setting up the initial DD-WRT page.Īt this point it’s just a matter of setting up the router to your liking, such as username/password, wireless networks, security settings, etc.Once completed you should see the DD-WRT page. Note: This step can take several minutes. TRX file you downloaded (for me dd-wrt-25648-Asus_x) and click on “ Upload“ Once the router has rebooted log back into the admin panel (default login is admin/admin) and navigate to: Administration > Firmware Upgrade > New Firmware File and click on Choose File and select the.Then enter your username and password for the router admin panel. Enable Telnet by going to Advanced Settings > Administration > System > Enable Telnet and click on “ Apply“.Then log into the router Admin Panel (usually 192.168.1.1) I like to start with nothing attached to the router except for the machine I’ll be using to update the router so disconnect all other connections including WAN.I’ll be using the one built into Windows 7. You also need a Telnet client if you don’t already have one.
TRX file from DD-WRT: ( mirror), currently dd-wrt release r25648 To get started we need to download a few files first: I’ve used DD-WRT in the past with other routers and had great success and decided to go that route with my new AC66U router as well.
The Asus RT-AC66U not only has a number of added features and support for 802.11ac, it also doesn’t seem to be plagued with the port 32764 bug or the Linksys “TheMoon” virus that’s been going around on select Linksys models, but the Asus also has a number of firmware options that can be used with this router such as Merlin, Tomato, and DD-WRT. The EnGenius router has been pretty good for me but basic and no support for other firmware. I recently upgraded my EnGenius ESR-750H wireless N router to an Asus RT-AC66U wireless AC router.
