    Intermittent Powerline Dropout

    Just a shot in the dark - some electric companies send a signal down the power lines to tell any smart meters installed at customers' sites, that it's time to switch over to cheap rate. If the drop occurs at the same time every day, when the tariff changes, this might be the reason.

    Save and restore specific configurations

    John's nvram tool is golden for this. (Thank you John for sharing this!) http://www.snbforums.com/threads/user-nvram-save-restore-utility-r22.19521/ In a nutshell, it allows you to save the configuration settings in a file on a USB stick plugged into the router. After you flash the new...

    Personalizing gui appearance -solved-

    Hi Carlos I know that above you meant "scripting language", but it gave me an idea. If you are comfortable in another language in addition to English, would it work for you to change the display language of one of the routers ? It would help to remember which is which, when the system menus...

    Login Password too secure?

    Some while ago I had a problem logging on from the LAN side, using PuTTY / SSH. After experimentation, it seems that the maximum password length is 16 characters. I don't know whether the limitation is in the router firmware or in PuTTY. What I did find out is that special characters seem to...

    N66R How do you change the HTTPS name

    Found it - in Firefox, clearing "Offline Web Content and User Data" gets rid of the "Settings have been updated" message and the login screen is shown normally as it should be. Just mentioning it here in case others have the same issue later.

    N66R How do you change the HTTPS name

    This is exactly the message I get when accessing my RT-AC66U over https (Firefox 43.0.4). I have added the router IP address in the Java and Noscript exceptions, and tried the Ctrl+F5 tip, but it made no difference. Strangely, when I access using Internet Explorer, I get a completely different...

    Best way to set up wi-fi roaming for iOS / wi-fi calling

    Someone mentioned here a while ago that roaming between different APs when using VoIP applications functions better if hardware acceleration is turned off. I can't find the post right now, but I think it was in the last 6 months.

    Wireless Printer Trouble

    Are you using a very long password, including non-alphanumeric characters? In some cases, these get stored in %nn format, so count as 3 characters in length, not 1. If the maximum length is exceeded, the last characters of the password are then truncated. IIRC the maximum length is 16, if all...

    Noob Scripting question

    Thanks PoppinJ, that cuts out a couple of steps and sounds like a good tip. WINSCP is downloading right now, and I will test it out tomorrow.

    380.57 port forwarding question

    In some applications, surrounding the file name with double quotes stops the automatic addition of an unwanted extension. For example, save as "services-start" ( Unfortunately I don't have notepad + + here to try it ).

    Noob Scripting question

    I have a closely related question, which I think makes sense to post here, rather than start a new thread. I too would like to learn more about scripts. I have read the documentation very thoroughly (including the wiki referred to above), and follow the postings on the forum carefully...

    Access security to USB stick ?

    I have the same message, even when accessing from within the LAN (Firefox). I simply press "Ok to continue, I understand the risks" and continue. I haven't bothered with certificates etc. if it works, and I know that this is my router's IP address. But in the last few days, the login page...

    Access security to USB stick ?

    RT-AC66U, 378.56_2 Hello everyone, I have a question concerning security access to a USB stick in the router. I have read around the topic, but can't find an answer to this specific question. My router's USB stick is formatted FAT32, in order that can work on it attached to my PC (Windows...

    Best Way to connect 2 RT-AC66U's

    Many on this forum like Synology or QNAP products. I am very happy with my Synology DS209+ and DS214. If you purchase the disks separately, make sure that they are designed for RAID use. This is important because if one disk reacts with a delay (perhaps because it is busy doing a self-test)...

    Help with ethernet cable wiring

    In order to make a reliable termination, it's important to use the right match of cabling and termination. Cable with a single solid wire for each of the 8 cores is for fixed installation, since it breaks if repeatedly bent. This type should be punched down into a wall socket or keystone...

    /jffs/syslog?

    It's good that the syslog survives a reboot, but not if it will cause premature wear and shorten the lifespan of the router. Would it be possible to write the syslog to a USB stick instead ? I suppose it would need some sort of script which runs after everything has finished loading, copies...

    Decrease range by disabling modulation

    Elsewhere on the forum is a discussion of how the radio coverage area changes shape based on the alignment of the antennas. If they are aligned vertically, the horizontal range is increased, at the expense of vertical coverage. Aligning them at 45 degrees increases the height and depth of...
