    Solved OpenVPN Error: OpenSSL: error:1416F086:lib(20):func(367):reason(134)

    I created an OpenVPN configuration file using pivpn on a raspberry pi. I used this config file with iOS and Windows OpenVPN clients without any issues. When I tried it on my RT-AX86U running Merlin 386.5_2 using it as a VPN client, I kept getting this error message: Clocks (in different time...

    Spontaneous Reboot RT-AX86U

    I realized my RT-AX86U router rebooted spontaneously last night. This has been very rare in the past, maybe once in a two-month period. There was no power outage or anything in the system log to indicate why. Under which conditions does the AX86 or any router decide to reboot? Are there any...

    spdMerlin Speedtest Data Usage > 1GB

    @Jack Yaz: I noticed that sometimes when the data usage for a download or upload exceeds 1 GB then the columns "Download Data (MB)" and "Upload Data (MB)" contain e.g. 1.0 instead of 1024. For example a speed test outputs: Bandwidth - Download: 859.44 Mbps (data used: 1.0 GB ) - Upload: 939.96...

    Connection to AiMesh node degrades over time

    The connection to my AiMesh node gets worse within a few days. Clients connected to the node, via WiFi or Ethernet, have much slower and inconsistent SpeedTest results (down from 250Mbit/s to 30Mbit/s), pauses in VoIP applications such as WiFi calling or Google Voice every second, and sluggish...

    FlexQoS Adaptive QoS at full Giagbit Speeds

    So far I thought Asus routers could not handle full gigabit speeds with Adaptive QoS turned on. This was my experience with my, now gone, RT-AX88U. Adaptive QoS limited the maximum download and upload speeds to around 500Mbit/s instead of the about 940Mbit/s when turned off. My new RT-AX86U...

    Solved entware not mounting after reboot

    Lately, possibly since the 386.2_2 upgrade, entware is not mounting after a router reboot. I don't see any script being run in /jffs/scripts that mounts entware. Also after installation with amtm entware is not mounted under /opt/entware but directly under /opt, e.g. /opt/bin, /opt/sbin, ... Any...

    Completely resetting WAN interface

    I am looking for commands to completely reset the WAN eth0 interface on my RT-AX88U equivalent to what happens during a reboot. Something that goes beyond service restart_wan. Background: my WAN goes sporadically down and only a reboot fixes it. I would like to find a way to take eth0 offline...

    WAN was exceptionally disconnected

    Here is the situation: this week my fiber Internet service was upgraded from 100Mbs up and down to 1Gbit up and down. The provider, Gigamonster, replaced the media converter with an ONT. Speeds are great but occasionally the router (RT-AX88U running 384.19) reports WAN disconnects: WAN was...

    Robust DNS Settings

    I am having issues with Google DNS currently. The router claims to be disconnected from the Internet. connmon, using 8.8.8.8, shows 0 for the last hour. My settings are: WAN DNS Settings: DNS Server 1: 8.8.8.8 DNS Server 2: 1.1.1.1 DNS Privacy Protocol: DNS-over-TLS (DoT) DNS-over-TLS...

    Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) interrupting network traffic (streaming)

    I have been hunting down a sporadic issue where (audio) streaming activity has been interrupted on my network. I think I finally tracked it down to my Samsung Smart TV which generates this in the syslog every time it's turned on or off: Sep 11 12:37:44 kernel: eth1 (Ext switch port: 0) (Logical...

    Recommended Method of Debugging Connectivity Issues

    For the last week or so, I have been experiencing sporadic ISP connectivity problems. Netflix streams stall, audio streams get interrupted. This happens maybe 4 to 5 times a day. This is not WiFi-related and I have not seen these issues before. I already started pinging DNS servers every 30...

    RT-AX88U as reliable as RT-AC68U?

    My RT-AC68U (with Merlin) has been incredibly stable and reliable for the past three or four years :) For the upcoming switch to gigabit service, I am looking to upgrade to the RT-AX88U which seems very capable and also supporting the next-gen WiFi standard. I have been trying to get a feeling...

    AiMesh and guest WiFi on node

    Currently AiMesh nodes do not support guest WiFi. I have two RT-AC68U (384.17), one as a router, the other one as the AiMesh node. I would like to have the same guest WiFi on the AiMesh node as on the router with the guest clients being isolated from each other and the internal network. This...

    AiProtection: GUI always shows 0

    My router is on 384.16 and AiProtection (Malicious Sites Blocking, Two-Way IPS, Infected Device Prevention and Blocking) is on. The GUI however always shows 0 events and no graphs. NAT acceleration is off. I cannot remember to have ever seen anything else than 0 for several firmware versions. I...

    Latest super-stable firmware version

    I am still on 380.68_4 on my RT-AC68U which is very stable. I have seen quite a few posts in this forum about issues with more recent versions. What is the latest super-stable (especially in respect to WiFi) Merlin version for the RT-AC68U?
