Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you have them set up as bridges, and not routers, then maybe they don't have an IP address assigned. Or maybe they have duplicate IP addresses. Can you reach them via the 169.254.x.x subnet?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I guess that's what I was going to ask about your setup. You have the main modem/router and then two subordinates? And the stuff that's coming in through the subs is functional, you just can't tell what the addresses are?

I had to laugh today because my sister called me to relay something funny my dad had done, and in the background, my brother-in-law was doing family tech support. Hahaha, I did my share at Thanksgiving, your turn now.

If you named the routers, you can try pinging "my-router-name.local".

Also, have you downloaded the router utility from support.asus.com? I'll bet it can autodiscover your routers.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I cannot get Netflix streaming to work on my tv for nothing. Has been an issue all day. I have tried figuring out help through the Netflix site to no avail. Right now I can't even get the help page to load.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, they're having problems. The internet is not amused.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Luckily, to save me from too much wall-banging (I was at your next suggestion, Tom), I found I did actually have records, and the IP addresses were 10.0.0.10x. Which I was not coming to on my own...

For future records--should the ASUS utility still work if you've installed dd-wrt?

Thanks for the neuron loan. Now I have to set up the satellite routers to work with the changes the cowboy consultant made to the modem. I laughed at him for not having records, and then it took me 18 hours to find mine, so, yeah. Although I'm not charging anyone in the meanwhile.

No idea.

Thrive to spite them

Suzi it's a Netflix issue.

I got a roku player for Xmas and was trying to get it set up and couldn't for Netflix until I went to Roku's help page and they said Netflix is down across many platforms.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Suzi it's a Netflix issue.

It's a Christmas anti-miracle!
