    Asus Auto Update Experiences

    Your conjecture is based on what? Faith in ASUS's integrity? Well something about this topic rang a bell. There's a thread from 2018: AC86U Firmware keeps updating automatically BTW, in it RMerlin states "I refuse to implement any kind of automated update." So the best way to avoid this is to...

    Nvidia Shield TV PLEX Server Slow Access to Asus RT-AC68U USB HDD

    Sorry, I can't help with the opportunistic locking issue, but you mentioned a long start-up delay when you started streaming from the 68U's HDD. This is might be because you have set the drive to spin-down (hibernate) when not in use for a (configurable) period of time. Default is 300 seconds...

    Slow speedtest results on router compare to LAN clients

    I didn't notice this issue until I updated to 1Gb fiber. I'm getting similar slow speed reports on the router and expected (close enough) throughput on the clients. I previously had a 100Mb down and 10Mb up connection and always got the expected speeds (or better) on both router and client...

    [RT-AC3200] Router crashes on occasion - is it good enough for fiber?

    That seems to be the case. Seems logical-it is just a service running at a specific IP address. I never really saw the need to the backup until today.

    Asus Auto Update Experiences

    Meaning the router suddenly updating itself? There oughta be a law against that!

    RT-AC68U aimesh node dropped connections/ latency spikes with firmware 384.81049 and later

    I suspect your help will quickly dry-up do to TMI.

    [RT-AC3200] Router crashes on occasion - is it good enough for fiber?

    OpenDNS had a system-wide outage for several hours this morning. It was reported in EU and US. Symptoms were - everything looks good in the router and modem, but no external sites reachable. Fix was to change to another DNS. I first went with my ISP's DNS. When that fixed the problem I changed...

    [RT-AC86U] How to disassemble it - LAN port 2 not working

    The case is generally similar to the 68U (TMAC1900). So I'll point you to instructions on its disassembly But first, take a good look at the RJ45 socket pins. Make sure none are bent and are gapped evenly.

    Thanks, that example will be very useful.

    Any ideas about why my RT-AC68U is unaccessible appreciated

    This router doesn't happen to have "Personal Cellspot" embossed on it's face, does it? If so, and it is running stock firmware, it factory- resets to 192.168.29.1. So you'd need to manually set your PC to that subnet (ex. 192.168.29.10) in order to see or access the router. Just tossing out an...

    Can you give an example of how to send an email from a command line/script?

    [RT-AC3200] Router crashes on occasion - is it good enough for fiber?

    During your dropped internet access: if the LAN side works (wired & wireless) AND the Modem lights indicate it is WAN connected, it makes me think the router is having trouble re-acquiring a lease on a WAN IP. This smells like an ISP issue. I'm sure someone knows the ssh commands or a way to...

    Wanted CFE & NVRAM for Asus DSL-AC68U/RT-AC68U

    Yeah, I got that. I was referring to getting someone to follow your ssh commands to give you a copy of their mtd1. Even mtd0 has private info like the MACs (3) and secret WPS key. But that can be more easily edited. You probably only need mtd0 (CFE). Once you've flashed the CFE, you can flash...

    Wanted CFE & NVRAM for Asus DSL-AC68U/RT-AC68U

    Are passwords encrypted on the DSL-AC68U? Because they aren't on my RT-AC68U and my wifi & http passwords are clear text in /dev/mtd1. So good luck with that.

    Overclocking underclocks BogoMIPS? Pls HELP!

    I'm sure there multiple threads discussing why manufacturers have locked them to prevent changing the country code (initially in CFE and copied to NVRAM). This prevents the use of illegal channels and power levels by setting it to regions where it isn't controlled.

    Overclocking underclocks BogoMIPS? Pls HELP!

    Was this a brand new 68U, or used? If new, Asus might now be shipping them with a locked CFE. Unlocking is probably a black-art. The old ones were easily hacked/modded. But discussion of that gets too close to the thread being locked. I've been warned too many times. :)

    Overclocking underclocks BogoMIPS? Pls HELP!

    You replaced the CFE, right? Maybe you or someone else installed the 68P CFE (1.0.2.5) thinking it would improve performance? Go back to the stock 1.0.2.0. Then erase NVRAM. And you absolutely can OC the 68U. My BogoMIPS : 2398.61

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    For those unable to wirelessly pair nodes but can do it over ethernet, does the node connect wirelessly (after pairing) if you pull the cable?

    Private Wi-Fi Address

    Just checked my Samsung Note 10 (latest Android) and see it was set to randomize. I have separate 2.4 and 5 GHz SSIDs and oddly, turning it Off on the 5GHz SSID seemed to turn it Off on the 2.4 also. Note: it seems that you need to be currently connected to the SSID in order to see this...

    Private Wi-Fi Address

    Is this setting for each known SSID? I mean, can you set it off for your home LAN SSIDs but go "incognito" when connected on public wifi?
