When you load the Wireless Settings page, there’s a + icon on the right under the “WiFi Networks” section. Click on that.

Suppose you configured two VPN connections using WireGuard, one to NYC another to Paris. You can only connect to one of them at a time. If you want to switch from NYC to Paris, then you need to log in and start the Paris connection, and the NYC connection will automatically stop.

However, you can have one active connection per VPN protocol. Thus you can have up to three VPN connections concurrently, each using a different protocol. And if you tie these connections to different VLANs, you can effectively switch from one to another by connecting to a different SSID.

You can create two profiles, one using OpenDNS, the other using Google. Put your work computer in the second profile.

You don’t need to do anything with the Server tab.

On the OpenVPN Client tab, uncheck all boxes under the “Enable for Network” section, then click Save. Your Internet should be restored after this.

Next step is to debug the OpenVPN errors. Click on the “View Log” icon on the same row as the Play icon to see the connection logs.

Thanks for following up. The effort to add support for this device has been delayed due to other priorities. Hopefully we’ll be able to get to this soon.

Can you send a copy of your backup file to [email protected] so that we can test it out?

Is 2.4 GHz WiFi working now?

The domain wpad.mentorg.com cannot be resolved by Google Public DNS: https://www.nslookup.io/domains/wpad.mentorg.com/dns-records/#google

Also, please check that your firmware version is v2.6.2 or later. There was a bug for ad domains block overriding, which was fixed in v2.6.2. Please let us know if g.live.com still cannot be overridden with the latest firmware.

@rocket Can you share more info about your script?

[support]

The logs are stored in memory so there is an upper limit to the amount of memory used to store logs. The router admin page allows you to go back 24 hours but the logs may be cut off if you have a lot of Internet activities. Please consider increasing the frequency of backup for your script.

Currently there are different DHCP pools for different VLANs, except that only LAN is user configurable.

Let’s say you have two tabs open in your browser, one for site A, another for site B. Both pages contain Google ads. If the router blocks Google ads, then the ads will be blocked for both tabs. The router does not know which tab you’re looking at. That’s why in the current design you need to click a Pause button if you are looking at site A and decided that you want to see ads on the page.

[support]

Can you elaborate on the envisioned user experience? E.g., suppose you go from site A to site B, and from site B to site C. You want ad blocking only for site B. What would you do to achieve that from a user perspective?

[support]

When you activate ad block, it will be enabled for all websites. But you can pause or suspend it before you visit a particular website.

You can perhaps do the reverse. I.e., suspend ad blocking when you log on your computer, but activate ad blocking before you visit a particular website.

Also, for parental controls, do the “DOH Test” to make sure that your parental controls work: https://www.pcwrt.com/2020/10/does-your-parental-control-pass-the-doh-test/. Make sure sites that are supposed to be blocked are actually blocked.
