    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    I am very tempted to remove it but don't know how to do it safely. Should I power down the router and remove it? Or I eject it from "safely remove disk" function on the router webgui? Sorry these must be dumb questions. I want to go back to basics and only have YazDHCP as an addon to the Asuswrt...

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    Is there any value in me keeping the USB drive in the router or should I just remove it?

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    Not sure if I did this right but I tried to show scripts. The only thing I can see is swap file.

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    On second thought don't think I should mess with Entware and should leave it alone. Is there a way to find out if my router requires the USB2 drive to function after removing Diversion?

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    Hmmmm ... good question. I installed these a long time ago and just could not recall what I did. I don't remember if Entware came with the Asuswrt or I installed it afterwards. Or if YazDHCP requires Entware. So if I uninstall Entware I could remove the USB2 drive, is that right?

    Remove USB2 thumb drive

    Hi, yes I am still using RT-AC86U and probably will flog it until I really need new tech. I have just uninstalled Diversion and left Entware and YazDHCP untouched. I was wondering if I can safely remove the USB2 drive? Without Diversion I don't think it is necessary anymore but I don't really...

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

    Thanks @RMerlin for your hard dedicated work. My next router will certainly be on your supported list. Can I assume RT-AC86U_386.14_2 (17/11/2024) is the final version?

    Sonicwall TZ400 redeploy again?

    Have a decommissioned Sonicwall TZ400 from work and been sitting in my cupboard. I am familiar with Sophos and have pfsense installed but TZ400 looks like a different animal. Can't find anywhere whether TZ400 can be installed with any linux firewall. Have you come across if this is possible?

    Happy and sad for RT-AC86U

    Yeah be taking that approach. I have 2 units of RT-AC86U bought together second hand. Both setup the same way with one as spare. I am not familiar with WiFi6 and everyting at home works well so "if it ain't broken....". I don't chase for latest tech preferring to be one-step-behind so that works...

    Happy and sad for RT-AC86U

    I have had a very good run with RT-AC86U. Sad that it will be classified as limited support from Dec 24. I hope I can still use it with the final firmware until I buy another ASUS router that runs with Merlin. I have used many different brands of modem/routers and routers and this unit is my...

    Thank You @RMerlin

    Almost started a thread until I saw this one. Thank you Eric for your excellent work. Hope support for RT-AC86U will keep going and going.

    Seeking advice on RAID setup

    Have committed to Netgear so Synology and Qnap are not options for me right now. Perhaps in the future. I am aware both these brands seem to be the favourite here.

    Seeking advice on RAID setup

    Thanks, the more I learn about NAS the less I want to use it. Just seemed very hard to deploy unless I sink money into it. But I have data I could not lose.

    Seeking advice on RAID setup

    How to block internet access for IP range

    For sure my DHCP pool is outside manually assigned IP. I can't explain it but that is how it is configured on my router. TP-Link router I had before permitted huge subnet (think I set it to have 65k IP addresses) but don't think my RT-AC86U can do the same. I usually disable my guest network...
