    Is it possible to mix hard disks in DS215j ?

    What size of drive would I need for the OS please ? (Synology DSM, with only a few packages).

    DS212 Intermittent LAN

    I came across a post on the Synology forum earlier today, where the poster's DS212? DS211? lost its net connectivity after every slight power dip. Only a restart would fix the problem, until the next time. It seemed to me that this model may be sensitive to even small power fluctuations...

    VPN setup RT_AC66u Asuswrt-merlin 380.59

    As I said before, I am new to VPN so I am open to correction if any VPN experts on here think I'm talking rubbish . . . But for your question (1) Yes, I think you can use the same client1.ovpn file on all your devices that should connect to your OpenVPN Server 1. At least, that's how I...

    VPN setup RT_AC66u Asuswrt-merlin 380.59

    Hi Clive No, I didn't try changing any firewall settings, perhaps I should relax them temporarily to see what happens (it is a test system after all). Thanks for the suggestion. I suppose the reason I never tried changing the firewall settings is because I was expecting routing/forwarding...

    Upgrade to RT-AC66u?

    Clive, I have been lurking on these forums for a couple of years now. Although I have no personal experience of the AC87U or AC88U, I can summarise what others seem to be saying in this regard. Some people report success with RT-AC87U, but for others it does not work well at all. The issues...

    VPN setup RT_AC66u Asuswrt-merlin 380.59

    Hi Cliver I am also groping around in the dark trying to do something similar, but may have some of the answers. I am trying to set up an OpenVPN server on an RT-AC66U running Merlin 378.56_2, so I can access my NAS remotely, using OpenVPN client installed on my laptop. I have puzzled with...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    Was this thread not sticky once upon a time ? As this utility responds to questions which are frequently asked, I would vote to re-instate the 'stickiness'

    Wireless range inside timber framed house?

    When we renovated our house, we installed empty wall boxes in strategic locations, with empty tubes back to a central location. The idea was that at a later date the tubes can be filled with coax, ethernet, or any other sort of cable. Fibre perhaps, if fibre to each room becomes the next big...

    Anybody using these tiny USB 3.0 Flash drives with asusWRT-Merlin?

    I have have a Sandisk USB as shown on the right of the picture in post #1. It also ran very hot, even though it was accessed very infrequently, so I now connect it with a 15cm USB extension cable. The USB stick now runs a bit cooler (but still quite warm), but more importantly the USB socket...

    Can't login via SSH after upgrading from stock firmware

    A few weeks ago I had a problem logging in via SSH using PuTTY from inside the LAN. (PuTTY 0.66, RT-AC66U, Merlin 378.56_2) The problem resolved itself when I chose a password of 16 characters or less. What I also found was that non-alphanumeric characters must be stored somewhere in format...

    Transplant Router settings

    An alternative would be to use the "migration mode" of John's NVRAM tool. http://www.snbforums.com/threads/user-nvram-save-restore-utility-r22.19521/ It worked perfectly for me when I swapped one RT-AC66U for another RT-AC66U last November. Both were running the same firmware version, Merlin...

    thank you, that's useful information

    Asus Products Bridge-Mode Problem (maybe all models)

    Do you remember please the firmware version where the problem was gone, and the version where the problem came back?

    Asus RT-AC68U or Asus RT-AC87U

    General concesus on here seems to be that the RT-AC68U is a solid reliable performer, especially with the Merlin 378.56_2 build. For some users, the RT-AC87U seems to work ok, but others report lots of problems, some of which seem to be related to the Quantenna chip used for the 5GHz radio...

    RT-AC3200 tri-band: Use 1 or 3 SSIDs?

    Another reason for putting guests on 2.4 is the better coverage around the building (compared to 5). Especially since running a properly-segregated guest SSID from an Access Point is very difficult (impossible?)

    stop brother from accesing League of legends servers. RT-AC66U

    Using parental controls displays an error message when the device in question tries to log on outside the permitted times. This makes it difficult to claim ignorance and opine that "the internet must be down". Internet access via 4G is becoming commonplace here and very affordable, often on...

    Unable to get client list (wifi)

    Sounds as though it could be a loose connection ? Perhaps where a ribbon cable slots into one of the boards. Normal precautions against high voltage apply.

    Icemanz Very well said sir. I agree entirely with your sentiments but lacked the eloquence to express it so clearly. PB

    Daughter's New House Bad Cabling

    It sounds like a good plan. Does the fibre come into the house in the utility room or nearby ? Will the utility room have high heat / humidity ? (Washing machine / tumbler dryer etc.) I'm not sure how sensitive the electronics will be to steamy environmental conditions. Utility rooms are...

    Help with scripting

    If you move files, it implies that they no longer exist at the source location under the mnt resource. So the next scheduled move will fail, unless the files are recreated in the meantime. If this is not what you want, the copy command (cp) may work better. In the Windows world, files which...
