    Asus, Broadcom, and problems on 384.5

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/release-384-ng-asuswrt-merlin-384-5-is-now-available.46575/page-14#post-406085 oddly, and if you'll allow me a quick moment of levity, your post reminded me of BSG. I don't want to derail the 384.5 release thread but I knew that I had seen this before. It was...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 is now available

    I can't tell if the three of you mean Wireless Router mode (Default), or Repeater mode, because Grisu quoted agilani, using repeater mode.

    You can use pastebin, ghostbin, hastebin, paste, and pasted to share errors

    You can use 'pastebin', 'ghostbin', 'hastebin', 'paste', 'pasted' or many others to share your logs, errors, and the like, so a thread doesn't end up with endless scrolling. Then you just post that link here (maybe with a tiny snippet instead of many lines of log errors). Also helpful on your...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 is now available

    I would go back one dot release at this point, no idea what's causing that. You know 380.70 works and you know 384.5 does not

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 is now available

    your router will not blow up your configs if you do not factory default reset, especially moving one dot release. This is locally known as a "dirty flash", "dirty update", dirty something, etc... and you will probably be fine. It's just that, and this is important, PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR HELP IF...

    Arris SB8200 and Motorola MB8600

    nah I'm in the market for one or the other, the hyperlink just happens to land on that post and I don't know why coming from SB 6190. been with Arris since SB 6121, SB 6141. Motorola looks nicer and lower cost (by $20 MSRP) and wondering why

    Arris SB8200 and Motorola MB8600

    I wondered if it's because the SB 8200 has 3 GB of RAM vs 512 MB in the other, but that wouldn't make sense - heat from RAM is minimal in this application, I can only guess. That particular design choice has me wondering if it took an overclocked CPU to keep up with 3 GB of RAM vs 512 MB. But...

    hah, I really really thought you were going to say "should I factory default reset?"...it comes up so often, and your excellent thread should be stickied at the top with javascript bright lights, foghorns, and vuvuzelas during every release week...

    Max Connections?

    not sure of the cause but there are reports of various wireless problems in the 384.4_2 thread so it could be related. you should probably try 384.5 (Beta 2) or go back to 380.70

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    I'm reading this three times and this is confusing me - because I'm slow - but can this be re-worded to say the 'L' (legacy) version does or does not contain fixes for KRACK exploit ... because the para starts with 'L' and ends with 'All E build releases' and gives no examples of what might be...

    RT-68U - from 3.0.0.4_376.47 to latest at the moment (384.4_2)

    too big of a jump, you need to install an intermediate firmware https://www.snbforums.com/threads/2-quick-questions.45729/#post-393800

    AC68U - WiFi failing with 380.69_0 and 380.68_4 ...

    click on the Tools menu on the left side menu (Merlin) to check NVRAM usage to see how close you are to max (65k). If you are bumping the maximum then this is a concern. If this is not the problem, try process of elimination since this only happens on wireless. I would shut off guest wireless...

    Chromecast Audio?

    I have this problem sometimes too - do you have the newest Chromecast, or the OG Chromecast ? I have the older model and it only does 2.4, not 5. Anyway I would double-check the SSID it's connected to and see if the phone/tablet is on the same freq, it doesn't matter because the router can...

    Regularly flush caches. What is this? On or Off?

    The router stores connection information in cache (RAM) for quick retrieval. It's faster and means RAM cache usage will grow/shrink automatically for Linux and nothing to worry about. Some time back in the day around Merlin v378.56 some people complained (alot of people actually) that a minor...
