    Problems with Port Forwarding

    Is the application on a computer that always connects directly to the router? Does the computer in question connect via wifi or wired? Does the computer in question have a fixed IP address? Do you expect to be able to access more than one device on the same external port? Note there is no...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 models

    I've seen comments that say anything over 300 mbs probably doesn't benefit from QoS a number of times over the years.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 models

    I have tried very hard to use 388.1 but I keep getting a web GUI slow down to unusable speeds after a few days. I'm pretty sure I used it on my GT-AX11000 for a time and had the same results, I'm using a GT-AX6000 now and have had to revert to 386.7_2. I have tried resetting to factory defaults...

    Allow Non-Root User to Bind to Lower Ports < 1024?

    It doesn't look too hard to do: https://linux-audit.com/how-and-why-linux-daemons-drop-privileges/

    Allow Non-Root User to Bind to Lower Ports < 1024?

    I must admit I haven't worked with this kind of approach, the Linux package I maintain is run as root so I haven't needed to worry about this stuff. So I don't know about how to drop privileges after doing the privileged things you need to do, if it means a lot to you it's probably worth doing...

    Allow Non-Root User to Bind to Lower Ports < 1024?

    Does setting the set uid on exec not work or is that too wide an attack surface for your needs?

    IIRC the form won't allow saving when some of those fields are empty.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    Cosmetic problem. On my GT-AX6000, on the WAN page assigning DNS addresses I see two Clean Browsing options , one for the Family filter and one for the Adult filter. If I select the Adult filter the resulting WAN page shows it as "Filter Mode: Family" when it should be "Filter Mode: Adult".

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    I wasn't implying a half-working implementation I was implying there are cases that are "not possible" based on what I've seen as the definition of Full Cone NAT. Yes, indeed. Ian

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    I guess the question becomes is masquerade sufficient for the connection oriented TCP protocol. To answer that you would need to define what a Full Cone NAT implementation is meant to do. I think the answer is "it is sufficient" considering the restrictions an actual implementation must operate...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    Well, yes I understand what your saying. There are many discussions about it but the only ones I have seen that I think actually have a problem are those that need to use two Xbox consoles (possibly other brands are problematic) at the same time and often both for the same game. I have more...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    It's a bit puzzling really. There is an implementation around which might be able to be merged into either ASUS or Merlin firmware and yet we are left with "gaming routers" that can't do full cone NAT so anyone with two or more Xbox consoles will have problems ...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    If this problem is encountered resetting to factory defaults and reconfigure doesn't help. I have no idea what's causing it but I see it on multiple routers (GT-AX11000 and XT12) and, IIRC, I have seen it on stock firmware as well. Once it starts it doesn't stop, GUI starts seeing the long hangs...

    [Syslog] "kernel: tntfs error (device sdb1, pid 5172): ntfs_nfs_get_inode(): Failed to get inode 0x38aa (error 2)."

    Some NFS client is (or clients are) persistently looking for something that doesn't exist.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    Saw similar behaviour. I had no add-ons installed (XT12 no usb), did do a factory reset and re-configure and the problem persisted. I went back to stock 386 version. I have no idea what caused it.

    ASUS AX6000 (XT8) when the main router fails

    You would need to reset to factory defaults and setup from scratch to change the node to behave as a router. If you can buy a single xt8 then you can add it as a node, the difference is that these two devices won't automatically pair as the devices in the two pack often/sometimes do. Just add...

    ASUS Mesh Network - Firmware Question

    Check out https://gnuton.github.io/asuswrt-merlin.ng/ for a fork of the Merlin firmware for the XT8. If the AX92U is used as a node its firmware could just stay as stock. In my experience there can be some hiccups if the firmware gets out of sync. between the devices on the AiMesh but not...

    Will Asus RT-AX86U support VPN Tunneling for defined subnet?

    Hehe, don't forget to give CleanBrowsing.org at quick look.

    Will Asus RT-AX86U support VPN Tunneling for defined subnet?

    The developer of a Merlin VPN add-on script recommends TorGuard. A bit more expensive but mostly it works very well. I tried several of the current VPN providers myself and ended up settling on TorGuard too. Only problem I have had with it is that on Windows it seems to stop working properly...

    How to force XT8 mesh into particular topography config

    Mmm ... that -65dbm is quite low IMHO, the selection algorithm is probably set to be a bit too pessimistic but ... It will be interesting to see if you find a way to influence the selection in favor of what actually performs better for you. IIRC the last time I had connection drop outs I had to...
