ASUSWRT-Merlin Notes Revision as of Sunday, 20 December 2015 at 19:56 UTC
Downloaded the original firmware just in
case. Then
logged into router and backed up config in “Administration” →
“Restore/Save/Upload Setting”.
Got the enhanced firmware via this
page (scroll to the bottom).
Verified MD5.
Updated with new firmware. Rebooted. All was well.
Enabled manual assignment on “LAN” → “DHCP Server” and added devices and
names. This wasn’t working before. Yay.
DNSMasq
Edit /etc/hosts.dnsmasq to add entries. The router itself does this
when you manually assign IPs and device names.
This
was a nice, quick guide to DNSMasq.
