Companies like AdGuard, NextDNS, Control D, etc. use a unique identifier address (like tls://123456789.d.adguard-dns.com) to distinguish a user's particular account and allow them to filter DNS according to the user's account settings/rules at the router or device level. The PR60X does not support entering a custom DoT-specific address to accomplish this. Thus, it seems like the only way to do DNS filtering is through generic DNS IP addresses for each WAN (IPv4 settings section). That isn't really DoT so it seems like the PR60X isn't really doing anything when "Secure DNS" is selected and a DNS provider is selected from the drop down. Maybe it is just kindly passing through device level DoT? But I didn't buy this semi-expensive router to still have to enable device level TLS on each device. Kind of misleading and a little sketchy if you ask me. Could you add the support for the custom DoT-specific address to enable DoT at the router level (as opposed to device level)?4Views0likes0CommentsWireguard for AX1800 WiFi Router (R6700AX)
Although the AX18000 has VPN support for Pure VPN, how about adding OpenVPN and Wireguard VPN support ? I've had the router for 20 days, I'm content with it's functionality on the whole. That said, I had some issues with the setup due to the device wanting to do the setup on it's own. I'm a network engineer and would prefer a command shell from which to set things up. Preferences aside, it's doing the job quite well at this point. Thanks, and looking forward to your reply. Jeff-5KViews0likes5CommentsURL FILTERING WITH WEBSITE CATEGORIES FOR WEBSITE BLOCKING
I would like to tell if i am buying such heavy router i expect it to be fully feature loaded. This router does not have URL filtering option due to which my bandwith usage by my users icreases heavily as they use unnecessary websites. Please add this feature in order to resolve the issue.391Views0likes1CommentGibabit Router with bandwidth control, logging features, startpage (to accecpt terms of conditions)
I am looking for a router which I will use in a hotel environment. We have a 200MBit connection, so it shouldn't be a 100MBit router. We want to connect several (~5) wifi access points to provide Internet to our guests. Every guest has to accept our terms of condition before he can use the Internet. Every connection should be logged within a logfile with date, time and the MAC addresses. Furthermore we want to limit the bandwidth of every device (for instance 3Mbit) Do you have a router which fits this requirements?20KViews0likes3CommentsSXK80 Inter-VLAN Firewall Rules
It would be helpful if the SRK80 router supported defining firewall rules between VLANs. This would enable administrators to allow limited access to devices in other VLANs, more precisely than "Network Isolation" on (completely closed) or off (completely open). A common use case of this feature would be to place IoT devices such as Chromecasts on an IoT VLAN and allow personal devices such as smartphones to control these IoT devices from a personal VLAN, withouth allowing IoT devices to access the personal VLAN. An example of this use-case is illustrated in OpenWRT which is already what the Orbi Pro Wifi 6 firmware is based on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvniZs8q3eU&t=310s7KViews18likes12CommentsPR60X and PR460X enable LAN4 (SFP+ Port) as WAN Port
Here in Switzerland, basically every Home has direct 10Gbit Fibre to Home. Some Providers allow to use our own Routers (Init7), some maybe are interested in a co-orperation: Salt, Sunrise, Swisscom, UPC If you would enable LAN4 Port, which is a 10Gbit SFP+ Port, as WAN, we would all spare us Mediaconverters from Fibre to 10Gbase-T So please consider releasing an alternative Firmware (or general firmware) to select and use LAN4 as WAN Port. Also consider to contact Swiss Internet Providers, they need good User managable Router Solutons. Market is dim here. Thanks!!!1.5KViews4likes0CommentsAllow P60X router to actually route with NO NAT
Please allow the "Pro" series router to route without NAT. This is expected in a "Pro" environment. We have many clients that have static ip address ranges and would love to use this router, but the lack of routing without NAT prevents us from ever recommending or using this router in these environments. Please stop thinking like your old home appliances, and starting thinking about SMB environments. Automatic NAT is great for home when you have a single, usually dynamic ip address. It is NOT appropriate when you have a business environment with multiple static ip addresses.652Views0likes0Comments
