1. On you windows 11 machine, look for "Optional Features" and install OpenSSH Client"
2. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog. Type services.msc and press Enter to open the Services management console. Find the OpenSSH Authentication Agent service in the list and double-click on it to open its properties. In the Startup type drop-down list, select Automatic. Click on the Start button to start the service. Click on the OK button to save your changes and close the properties window. After completing these steps, the ssh-agent service should be running on your system and you should be able to use it to store your private SSH key in memory.

1. Open a CMD window as Administrator
2. Create a new RSA key (ed25519 is not supported by Asus-RT-AC86U) by typing:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 8192 -C "MyMachineName-julie-yyyy-mm-dd"

Replace MyMachineName, julie and yyyy-mm-dd by their effective values (the comment as the end appear in the key and help to identify it) Enter a passphrase that you save in your password manager (e.g. Keypass) with username MyMachineName-julie-yyyy-mm-dd and a generated password of length 47 with Upper/Lower/Digit (to avoid conflicts with special characters like @ = when the password is used in URL)

3. Open the file C:\Users\julie.ssh\id_rsa.pub and copy the content
4. Go to the the UI of the router http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_System_Content.asp and paste the key on a new line in the field Authorized Key. Note: you may have different keys. One key per line.
5. Add your private key to the ssh-agent by running the command: ssh-add C:\Users\julie\.ssh\id_rsa Optional: You can use the ssh-agent service to store your private SSH key in memory on Windows 11. ssh-agent is a program that runs in the background and acts as a holding area for your decrypted private keys, so you don’t have to enter your passphrase every time you use the key.

2. log on using ssh to your router
3. cd /jffs/scripts
4. curl --silent -LJO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jambo15/Asus-RT-AC86U/main/ddns-start
5. curl --silent -LJO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jambo15/Asus-RT-AC86U/main/.ddns_confidential
6. edit /jffs/scripts/.ddns_confidential and update with the desired access information
7. chmod u+rw,u-x,go-rwx /jffs/scripts/.ddns_confidential
8. chmod u+rwx,go-rwx /jffs/scripts/ddns-start
