    [ANNOUNCEMENT] Asuswrt-Merlin 386_x devices are no longer supported

    @RMerlin - thank you for having done a terrific job supporting the AC line of devices! The EOL decision is a sound one given the Asus dropping the support earlier. My only request is to have any obvious security issues with AC line flagged if/when they appear. If a reasonably straightforward...

    Unable to flash firmware due to bad blocks

    Yeah, I have AC86U with a known bad block that stays there. So no issues: Jan 21 04:05:05 kernel: nand_read_bbt: bad block at 0x000000280000 I also have AC68U which had nvram forget everything from time to time. So I just hammered that section with many writes, forcing those blocks out of...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 / 386.13_2 is now available for AC models

    Nothing happens to the physical router upon EOL. It'll run just like before, lights will continue blinking. As long as you have all the features you need - keep it in operation. And EOLed devices get quite cheap on eBay, so may even stock up! If there is a huge security issue in the future, I...

    Solved Replacing USB (Contains Entware) - Safest & Most Efficient Way?

    Yeah, mine are already labeled! Still - when my only USB drive becomes sdb, something else seems to be screwy. Btw, I grepped sda on all my scripts, and found this in backupmon.sh (@Viktor Jaep): backupmon.sh:EXTDRIVE="/tmp/mnt/$(nvram get usb_path_sda1_label)" # Grabbing the default...

    Solved Replacing USB (Contains Entware) - Safest & Most Efficient Way?

    Sometimes my single SSD USB glitches - a couple of times a year, and instead of /sda it comes in as /sdb. There is more to the glitch - the router does not work quite fully. I usually try to check all USB connections there, since it should not be doing that.

    Scribe scribe 3.x_y - syslog-ng and logrotate installer

    Had a strange issue. Scribe latest just stopped working on one of the days, while I was away. Then it just would not start - I tried manually several times. I had to re-install it, and it works now. Not the first time this happened to me. Nothing in the log - but the issue occurred on Dec 24...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    Good operation of the AiMesh node for a few days - better than before, fewer disconnects. I now also upgraded the main node to 14_2 - all looks good! Thanks @RMerlin !!!

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    Updated the AiMesh node (AC68U) to 14_2 - will see if that addresses this node crashing issues that I posted about here - link Will update the main node (AC86U) to 14_2 in a week or two!

    VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.3.10 -Jan 1, 2025- Monitor WAN/Dual-WAN/OpenVPN Health & Reset Multiple OpenVPN Connections (Now available in AMTM!)

    @Viktor Jaep It seems similar keyboard issues could be present in RTRMON - @Martinski here is onto something :)

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    Have AC86U and AC68U running 386.14 as AiMesh setup. Started to get a bunch of issues with long reconnect times on the AC68U AiMesh node after this type of message: Nov 3 17:16:51 MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP. Tried to downgrade AC68U to 386.12 and 386.13. In...

    RTRMON RTRMON v2.1.4 -Nov 28, 2024- Monitor your Router's Health (New: AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest)

    Well, would not running rtrmon without Entware be a bit more difficult? So if it runs without Entware on an AiMesh node, it will surely run with Entware as well! So not sure what "What?!? Not even close..." meant ...

    RTRMON RTRMON v2.1.4 -Nov 28, 2024- Monitor your Router's Health (New: AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest)

    This is strange ... You complained about me running rtrmon on an AiMesh node, and then did it too! 🤣 If you run rtrmon without Entware, it runs just fine too! You just need that 1 line mod I posted so it disables the existing check. I never said it crashed without Entware - and it does not.

    RTRMON RTRMON v2.1.4 -Nov 28, 2024- Monitor your Router's Health (New: AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest)

    OK! This is similar to me disabling Entware check altogether - link The way RTRMON is coded - Entware is more a nice-to-have rather than must-have. This opens up all kinds of possibilities!

    RTRMON RTRMON v2.1.4 -Nov 28, 2024- Monitor your Router's Health (New: AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest)

    So did you do the proper Entware? A lot of required Entware utils don't work properly on an AiMesh node anyway, so might as well eliminate the dependency altogether!
