    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    This time around is FAT-32 ok or does ASUS work better with exFAT? USB is just going to have a bunch of music on it

    My mount command gives this: rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/root on / type squashfs (ro,relatime) devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=127720k,nr_inodes=31930,mode=755) proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime) sysfs on /sys type sysfs...

    Ugh. Fixed. I changed it to Https authentication and it changed the URL to the one listed in that post. *sigh*

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    I am also using Chrome but for windows. I can access the router via telnet and SSH using Putty but thats about it. No web UI. I imagine somehow the WebUI IP or port got changed but I dont know what to.

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    I did all of that. Even tried in other browsers. And two manual reboots. Each time I removed the Ethernet cable and re-inserted it. Same message and on the other browser it just fails.

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    I think I might have bricked something. I changed the SSH settings and hit apply and it froze on processing so i closed the browser and now when I try to enter the router via 192... "Settings have been updated. Web page will now refresh. Changes have been made to the IP address or port...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    One challenge.... I haven't set up the router to allow SSH in as it has been a few years since I had to use a client like PUTTY. Is there a pertinent guide I can follow? I was afraid of messing with those options in the router administration page because I didn't want to create a security...

    In Disk Utility the drive is displayed as: 62.25GB Patriot Memory Media /Volumes/PATRIOT is that a problem for the auto mount?

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    "...do *not* enable any ports on WAN besides the one for OpenVPN server(s). There is no need to do that in your scenario, AFAI would tell." I have pretty much left the WAN tab alone. I am hoping that setting up the VPN configured whatever it needed for ports. I did do a Shield scan of the ports...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    Ford, I set up two OpenVPN TUN servers in my parents router. Server1 uses TCP on port 443 (not planning on using AiCloud so figured it would be useful when I am behind "strict" firewalls like some users have described) and Server2 uses UDP on port 1194. I was able to connect from school to...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    Do you use yours as a Routed or Bridged VPN? I was thinking if i set it up as a Bridged VPN I could install the Sonos music player on my Mac and when I have the Bridged VPN active I could control my parent's music if they needed help since it would basically be as if I was on that network. Chad

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    That is great! Thank you for checking for me! Now I just need to select which bottle of wine will get me through the command line work to get the OpenVPN server set up and the certificate files prepared per the guide at...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    I could just be confused since I just learned about OpenVPN today (though I am slightly familiar with the concept as we use one at work) but....it says on openVPN.net that Tunnelblick is their designated Mac client and it has OpenVPN in it? Am I misunderstanding what a client is...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    Also just discovered DynDNS no longer provides a free host service haha. Do you use a paid one or a free one for your set-up? I might try and get a slightly more technically capable friend to stop by my parents house and plug into the cable modem before I ship it out.

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    Thanks Ford, I found an OpenVPN client for Mac (https://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/) to use once I get the sever set up on the 680U. I plan on having the router sent to me first for me to configure (set up the SSID, security, etc) and I will load the USB thumb drive with the music in...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    Ford P, That would be excellent. Though, to be honest, I am not familiar with setting up an OpenVPN server. A quick google search seemed to refer me to a corporate .net page and did not seem specific to the Asus running Merlin's FW. The other page I found was for an older version of Merlin's...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    Thank you for your fast reply Ford, I was thinking the same thing. But I guess I am more concerned at this point about if the FW will support my needs in terms of maintaining the router remotely and managing the USB thumb drive attached to it for my parents. The AIcloud "Smart Access" is...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    Good Afternoon, I hope this question is permitted in this section of the boards. If it would be better in a different area please let me know and I will move it. I have been investigating three routers to use at my parent's house. They are the Linksys WRT1900AC, Asus AC680U, and Netgear...
