    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_4 is now available

    Yup, found it while you were writing. Somehow had TWO adblocker extensions installed, and I don't remember installing the second one. Nuked it. Works now. Thanks.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_4 is now available

    Note this is one of the ROG RT-AX86U versions. Is there an NVRAM setting to select the non-ROG style webUI pages?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_4 is now available

    I flashed 388.4 over the earlier 388.2 two days ago. The issue with my 2.4GHz TP_link devices falling off the network has gotten severely worse. Fine, I figured I'd just go to the GUI, and either downgrade bacvk to 388.2, or perhaps save the configuration, factory reset, and restore...

    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    The issue here went away after I made that change. All good now.

    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    Some of the 2.4GHz IoT clients here have coloured LED indicators for status. Every now and then I notice some of them blinking the "no WiFi connection" indication. So here at least, it's not a 2.4 <--> 5GHz issue, but rather just something on 2.4GHz periodically causes them to lose...

    Automatically rest ethX port to regain 1GB speed

    I have this script on my router to solve a similar issue with the 1Gig ethernet connection to my cable modem. It gets invoked by another script that calls it in a loop every 15 seconds. The other script is started by a line in jffs/scripts/firewall-start: #!/bin/sh ## Keep the Modem...

    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    I get this on my RT-AX86U router. So the upgrade may have nothing to do with it.

    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    I guess the thing to capture, would be the iptables configuration when working, and again when not working. It's pretty likely to be in there somewhere, or maybe in the bridging tables. iptables -L -n -v brctl showmacs br0

    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    This issue would explain a problem I have been seeing randomly, where my smartphone sometimes cannot see/control all of the "smart plugs" on the 2.4GHz side. Mmm. EDIT: Yes, this would explain the irregular behaviour. Switching wifi (both bands) off then on again temporarily "fixes" things...

    RT-AX89X suddenly started using a lot more CPU and memory leak leads to lockup every ~10mins

    That's not going to happen, unless ASUS has other built-in malware that also enables remote management for everyone else.

    RT-AX89X suddenly started using a lot more CPU and memory leak leads to lockup every ~10mins

    Completely disabled asd on my router here now. No such issues in the future now.

    Which NVRAM Key Controls RT-AX86U 2.5G Port Assignment to WAN or LAN?

    On my RT-AX86U, eth5 appears to be the 2.5gbs port, and eth0 is the usual 1gbs WAN port. So.. nvram show | grep eth5 ## shows NVRAM variables referencing eth5 nvram show | grep eth0 ## shows NVRAM variables referencing eth0 If I were to switch to using the 2.5gbs port for the WAN, I...

    How to restart WAN connection?

    Edited my original post above, with new/improved version of the script. This one doesn't hit google nearly as often as the earlier script.

    How to restart WAN connection?

    That is similar to what happens here. Every now and then, the cable network has some kind of "event", but the modem stays "up" and my router thinks it is all still connected. The only way to recover is to power cycle the modem, or restart the WAN on the router. So that's what my script does...
