Been running Beta 4 on RT-AX86U since it came out and just in the last few days I have started receiving the following errors in log files:

Jan 25 18:29:37 kernel: nf_conntrack: expectation table full

Jan 25 18:29:40 kernel: nf_conntrack: expectation table full

Looks like this was an issue seen a few months/years back on older versions (384) but it didnt look like there was ever a resolution. I am not running any add-ons and not running anything special, ie no Guest Wi-Fi, no USB drives, etc. The only thing I am running is AI-Mesh with one additional Asus device (RC-AC3100). I have rebooted but this doesnt seem to help. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

David

You Probably have to run the nf_contrack script that suppresses the messages I used to use it till the error disappeared.

Thanks, but isnt that just hiding the issue? I will look for the script and run it.

I'm getting the same with a 384_19 to 386.1b4b in-place upgrade but have been ignoring them. Coincidentally I just checked my log and for the past 12 hours my log is flooded with them, however yesterday and the day before (weekend) I had none. Couple more days back I had plenty of them.

Thinking back about my devices and usage patterns, it COULD be related to my Cisco AnyConnect VPN client - I didn't work this weekend.

Not sure what this means, I've never seen any ill effects from these entries so just posting this to add some more detail.

Hmm, thats a good point, mine also seems to only happen during the week. I am not using Cisco specifically but have ZScaler agent running on my work laptop. I have changed the value to 352 based on the script and will see what happens.

It actually adjusts the NF contrack table

Look for NF contrack and other log oddities.

Upgrades went fine. Will do the proverbial restarts later once they settle in. Did a quick check of my cams/devices/network and everything seems re-connected and talking.

I keep forgetting that we've switched to IPTV services... so a restart of our main floor AP interrupts TV. Doh. Wife caught that one.

 

[heslo]

Thanks Merlin, downloading now and will install soon

EDIT: Flashed on AC88U with no issues; everything seems to be working fine so far

I try to wait until no one is using the network .. whenever I flash the main router it's within seconds that my daughter yells "DAD! My network isn't working!" That being said, working from home and kids remote learning, I try to wait for the weekends so as to not disrupt the network or spend all night troubleshooting lol

Can you point me to this script and the usage docs?

Heh. Most of the time I can get away with it... but the TV was pretty obvious. Main router and core stuff still on stable release.

 

[RMerlin]

Yes, so ignore the faint burning smell coming out of these images, it should dissipate within an hour or two.

It's nice being able to sit on the couch after supper, fire up the build script, work on release notes and git tagging, do some forum catchup, then be ready to publish the generated archives within the hour.

Daughters can be so judgemental.

RT-AC86U CPU idle fix from Asus's 386_41700 GPL is included (replacing my own temporary fix).

AC86U updated from b2 to b5, the high CPU temp on b3-b4 seems to be fixed.
b2: 73-74°C
b5: 75-77°C (edit: after 5 hours the temp is 76-77°C, so 3°C higher than b2, but still a lot better than b3 which raised the temp to 84°C)
