    Any AT&T (or other) Fiber running AsusWRT direct to ONT (bypass)?

    I'm running my RT-AX3000 WAN over about 100 ft of Cat5E to the ONT (Frontier FIOS 1Gb). Frontier's WAN IP lease is only 30 minutes. When I swapped out their router, by the time I figured out how to fix the problem, the lease had already expired. I do notice that it takes 1-2 minutes to get a...

    DST time zone changes end incorrect

    Thanks for posting this reminder. Out of curiosity I checked my new(ish) AX3000 and it was fine for my TZ (Eastern US). Probably OK because I migrated my old config. Then I checked my older 68U which runs as a repeater (of guest wifi) and it was wrong. No big deal and it might of been wrong for...

    Configuring AIMesh - Which should be main? 3100 or 3200

    Does the AC3200 even support AiMesh? IIRC, it doesn't. It is also no longer supported in new Merlin firmware. So I'd return it ASAP.

    Solved RT-AX58U wireless keys in plain text [384.9890]

    Seems that posting the firmware version would be helpful. I see the pic in your link says 386.9794. Was that just an example? BTW, I see the pic is configured for Smart Connect, so there's only one tab for all wifi. Also, I think you have to click the field to show the key in plain text.

    Any AT&T (or other) Fiber running AsusWRT direct to ONT (bypass)?

    I changed to Frontier FIOS (1Gbps) a few months ago. I had the installer run about 100' of underground rated Cat5E from the ONT to my office and install an RJ45 wall jack. With the 1Gb plan, the router is free (for 1 yr) so I let him install it. But as soon as the truck left, I disconnected...

    Kernel errors merlin

    They will work together. I've had no issues with Samba access to my USB while Entware was installed to the same drive (although different partition). I'd focus more on your specific USB problem and stay on the latest Merlin (384.19). Describe what is/isn't working. BTW, I'm not sure those...

    Hello all, I have an Asus RT-AC86U. I cannot get the router to recognize or use the 200 mbps I am getting from Spectrum.

    If it isn't the cable (try a known good one), you should be able to re-map the WAN port to one of the LAN ports. I'm on Merlin, but this should work on ASUS firmware. The actual steps might be different but basically: Go to WAN/Dual WAN and enable Dual WAN. There you can choose which is your...

    Can someone explain the random MAC Addresses in Syslog? Should I be concerned?

    I just checked one of my extenders (an AC68U in repeater mode). Logging in to it, I see all its clients. On my main router (AX3000) I don't see any of the clients that connect to the repeater. However, those clients on the repeater were assigned their reserved IPs from the main DHCP server. If I...

    Can someone explain the random MAC Addresses in Syslog? Should I be concerned?

    For some reason, I don't see all the clients in the router's client list. So I'm not sure if you can rely on it. More importantly, I don't think you've actually blocked that rouge extender. I recommend using the router's gui, not the app. In an attempt to be "friendly", I don't know if it shows...

    Can someone explain the random MAC Addresses in Syslog? Should I be concerned?

    With the 3-4 range extenders I've used (AKA repeater), the clients log-in to the extender's SSID (not necessarily the same as the base router). It is only the extender that authenticates it's clients. The wifi connection it extends is basically a backhaul to the router. Once the extender is...

    Asus RT-AX58U Forced Login Screen With Second Router Attached

    Disconnect the Vodafone cable to the ASUS. Then login from your PC which is wired to the Vodafone. You then can change its's IP and set it up as an AP. Then reconnect it to the ASUS. I suggest using the WAN port. If your PC also has wifi, disable that while doing the above change.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Yeah, I can never remember Quad9's IP when I have to enter it manually.;)

    I'm having these dcd unhandled error repeating everytime

    IMO, scrubbing the system log file is not a "work-around". Kinda like sayin we have less Covid19 cases because testing isn't available. I'd rather leave the logs alone and simply not look at them. Much easier and it will tell you whether it is fixed or still happening. There's already so much...

    Every 15 minutes my RT-AC1900P is acting weird

    I wonder if the disruption is caused when your WAN IP lease expires and renews. Some ISPs have a short (15 or 30 minute) expiration. You could check by going into the gui and clicking the globe icon (WAN connection status).

    Entware How to change path?

    If you only want to override precedence of that one "ps" command (and not everything in /opt/bin), you could set an alias in profile.add alias ps=/opt/bin/ps

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    Yes, but SSID will change to ASUS (and ASUS_5G IIRC). Plus it's unprotected until you get it configured (no password), so don't procrastinate in finalizing the config.

    Can't use android phone usb tethering (invalid pin code error?!?) AC86u

    I had a USB3 HD that came with a 'Y' cable adapter that allowed you to plug in two USB ports on the host side. One for data/power, the other just power. This increased the power going to the HD. I found a similar adapter cable on Amazon HIGHROCK 30cm USB 2.0 a Power Enhancer Y 1 Female to 2...
