    RT-AC86U / Connection problems after scheduled reboot

    This looks like a big deal. It sounds as though the RT-AC86U cannot be deployed in a remote location which is visited infrequently. (Unless of course we rely on everything working so well that a reboot is never needed.) Did I understand correctly ?

    Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8 is now available

    It's difficult for anyone to comment without more specific information. When you try to update, does it give any particular error message ? Did you unmount any USB stick or hard drive before trying to update ? What model of router is it ? If it is a converted TM-AC1900, it is not supported by...

    Rt-ac86u wired connection issue.

    After a reboot it usually takes a while for everything to work correctly. 15 seconds is quite short. Unless something else is wrong, it sounds like a keeper.

    Rt-ac86u wired connection issue.

    Does it all work correctly as expected after 15 seconds ?

    Client Names mostly just MAC addresses

    Could this be because the clients have not yet asked for DHCP lease extensions, so the router does not know their details yet? If this is the reason, the problem should disappear on its own after a couple of days. If you don't want to wait to find out, you could simply power cycle the clients...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.7 is now available

    Did you mean that you used the same SSIDs on the new router, as on the old one ? And left the clients untouched ? Pehaps there are some very technical settings which are somehow slightly different compared to the old router, and the clients are not handling this very well. Maybe it would be...

    384.7.2 Update failing on AC87U (384.5)

    What I find helpful is to do this with 2 laptops, one connected to each router. The settings from the old router can then be typed easily into the new router, page by page. Of course, in some instances there is not a 1:1 correspondence between the pages, but there is enough communality for...

    Which USB flash drive to use for installing Apps on Asus 86u

    I am not familar with Ext2, but in the Windows world, larger cluster sizes read and write a bit quicker, but waste more space because of the partially unused (and larger) cluster at the end of each file. I would imagine that the same applies to Ext2. Whether the difference is large enough to...

    Cat6a UTP

    The colour coding is identical for all 3 CAT types. This is a bit difficult to visualise. Would it be possible to upload a photo ?

    Best way to isolate IoT?

    If you chose Item #3 (double NAT) it will complicate matters if you have a NAS on your trusted betwork and plan to use a VPN server installed on your downstream router (=RT-AC68P) to access your NAS while travelling. Firstly, the DDNS feature on your downstream router (=RT-AC68U) may notify the...

    The AC68 (AP only) does interrupt internet when rebooted....

    Could it be that when it reboots, it starts off with a default IP which is the same as your main router ? A test might be to switch off the radios and then reboot. If the whole network still goes down, it must something to do with the interaction between the AP and the main router (or other...

    syslog timezone issues

    I set the end/beginning of DST to the 5th Sunday in October or March, respectively. (I am in central Europe). It worked perfectly the last 3 or 4 times. I think it understands "5th Sunday" as the last Sunday in the month, if there are only 4 Sundays. (Edit: typos)

    Which USB flash drive to use for installing Apps on Asus 86u

    It will also stay cooler on the end of a short USB extension cable. (Edit: typo)

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.7 is now available

    Would it work to power your modem and router through an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) ? When your power supply fails, they would continue to keep running, and so would not ask for a new IP address when the power comes on again.

    Ah, so that's why! Thanks for the explanation.

    (RT86U) Fresh install of latest Firmware

    I have a USB stick plugged into the router which I can access while I am travelling. Although you mention HDD, I think the principle should be the same. I have OpenVPN server running on the router, and installed openVPN client on my laptop. When I am away, I can log onto the home router via...

    USB drive keeps getting corrupted

    I found that my thumbnail USB stick plugged into the router (RT-AC66U) got very hot. I was concerned that it might get damaged. Now I have the thumbnail drive plugged into a 15cm (6 inch) USB extension cable, which itself plugs into the back of the router. Even though it is very short, the...

    VPN Newby

    This is good advice. When I started off using the default port, I saw in the router system log file that someone from outside tried to log in via VPN once every day. Fortunately, I am using a non-standard admin id and password as well as certificates, so they were not able to get in. Since I...

    Would anyone have any tips please for the quickest, most convenient way to do this ? (Windows 7) Thanks in advance!

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.7 is now available

    Hmm - I was planning to install 384.7.2 on my RT-AC86U sometime later this week. May I ask please if you did a factory restore after loading 384.7.2 ? And a power-disconnected reboot ?
