    bad PEBs, new router, is this a problem?

    Bad blocks is not uncommon in NAND. These are typically mapped and replaced by spare blocks. Having a few of them is not an issue. it's just that the kernel driver is very open about it, rather than hiding it behind the scene.

    ANNOUNCEMENT: Asuswrt-Merlin support underway for 3 Wifi 7 routers

    Everything related to wifi is outside of my control. MLO handling will be 100% identical to stock firmware.

    Problem with multiple SSH keys

    Someday I should see if the initial encoding issue that prevented having multiple keys has been fixed. Nvram handling code has changed a fair bit in modern HND devices versus older ARM devices. That's however quite a bit low on my lengthy ToDo list...

    Problem with multiple SSH keys

    I never tested if propagation of that setting works properly even if the node runs Asuswrt-Merlin, you will have to test it. The propagation code is closed source, so I have no idea what kind of processing it might do before transmissing settings to the nodes.

    Tutorial Distributel (Bell) PPPoE passthrough/bridge without SFP, using Nokia ONT

    If you used that router with a previous connection, make sure you don't have old QoS settings limiting the speed, and also you don't have a VPN redirecting all your traffic through a tunnel - 200-250 Mbps is the actual throughput limit of OpenVPN on that router. Also make sure on the Tools ->...

    BCM4916 process node?

    AMD's Ryzen works that way. The IO die uses a larger node process (I believe from Global Foundries, unless that was only the very early versions?) than the actual Zen CCDs which are smaller TSMC dies. They all (1 or 2 CCD + IO die) share the same package.

    Wireguard with vpn director rules disable hardware acceleration?

    Streaming over a VPN will never be ideal latency-wise, due to encryption, the probable higher number of hops, etc...

    Solved GT-AX6000 Write Protected aka Borked

    Make sure to determine the volume ID through ubinfo first, as it may change between models. The size might also potentially vary between models.

    Problem with multiple SSH keys

    Technical limitation. To support more than one key, Asuswrt-Merlin has to encode the keys differently, and that method is not compatible with stock firmware (so, it won't work with AiMesh nodes).

    Release ASUS GT-AX6000 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_34791

    CSS bug, they use a webkit attribute that is no longer supported instead of a background-image for the add_icon class. Noticed the same thing here while working on this, should be an easy fix for Asus since the non-ROG CSS does not have the same issue.

    Solved GT-AX6000 Write Protected aka Borked

    If you had a backup you should be fine uploading it. The issue was the filesystem, not the file content themselves. Glad that it worked out - one less piece of e-waste in a landfill. All the credit goes to Asus' engineers there. I just had a feeling it was recoverable through software, and...

    Solved GT-AX6000 Write Protected aka Borked

    @Clark Griswald Here are two methods they suggest you try. Keep in mind these will erase part of the router configuration (like DHCP reservations). Try the following first: nvram set ubifs_clean_fs=1 nvram commit reboot Once it comes back, try again with touch /jffs/test.txt. If it...

    How to setup WAN VLAN for Nokia Optical modem on RT-AC87U?

    Could be the wireless scheduler, could be you had wifi disabled through a button. Check the router's wifi settings.

    Wireguard with vpn director rules disable hardware acceleration?

    Yes. The bypass code was developed by them and Broadcom.

    How to setup WAN VLAN for Nokia Optical modem on RT-AC87U?

    Sounds like a Bell reseller as they tend to use VLAN 40. VLAN is unrelated to wifi, it is only used for your PPPoE connection to be established with the ISP. Setting VLAN 40 on the IPTV page and entering your PPPoE credentials on the WAN page is all that's required for the Internet connection...
