    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    I guess more details are in order, the bandwidth isn’t being hammered. Speedtest run as they always have, at 12 and 42 minutes of the hour. I got 1Gb fiber and when everything runs right the results are ~930Mbs, and always has been. But when whatever is happening happens the first place that...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    Only when the packet losses that accompany it prevents wifey watching her telenovelas 🤣 The drop with the results and packet losses are a result of whatever is going on. Now all I need to do it capture it happening. At this point considering turning one of the laptops into a syslog server to...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    Sometime around midnight there was a bunch of topology changes captured on the scribe/ethernet log on the AX88U. From that moment going forward, the speedtest results went from (down/up) 930/930 to 400-650 / in one direction 500-750 in the other and a few packet drops. At first I though it was...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    388.2 last night, all went fine until I tried to enable IPv6 again. All sorts of issues not sure where to start. DCD Tained with dnsmasq, USB failing and unmounted, scripts stopping/starting, my infamous speedtest drop, and reboots. IPV6 and IPV6 Advanced no matter what I tried (should be...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Looked over the logs, gotta admit they looked similar to mine. Noticed that the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz are bouncing around channels and bandwidth 80/160 before things start to go south between one MAC and the router just before the reboot. What I've done and it's worked well for me is to fix...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Had to disable IPv6 entirely. DDNS (ASUS) refreshed WAN IP address but never showed on WAN interface. Trying to match settings IPV6 and IPV6 Advanced would turn on IPv6 on LAN side but going into IPv6 log would say disabled on WAN. Trying to get it to work right, router rebooted after cutting...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Just applied Beta 2, immidiately noticed that the flood of back to back non-stop; bsd: bsd: related messages in the log is no longer there (could not make them stop regardless of loglevel), in fact syslog at its most verbose level is eerily quiet. GUI is more responsive, even with logging set...

    Yup!

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Well, if CPU utilization is different under 388.2B vs every other 388.1 and 386, in that is results in packet errors or aothe anomalies like http timeout or unresponsive pages on the router, maybe...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Well, I thought I had it figured out... After a HW reset of the router (AX88u) and the nodes (2x AX86s) and putting humpty dumpty (AX88) back to tgether again (with all the scripts), the problem reappeared. I got a little aggressive when putting it back together, and after a few runs and...

    Figured it out, Trend Micro shenanigans. Even turning the features off, had to completely back out of the privacy agreement to get it back to where it was…

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Yes, Trend Micro! The HW Reset cleared up another nuissance as well as clearing out old nvram entries. I also allowed got to test my method for adding AIMesh nodes several times. I thought some script / module conflict was at fault or at the very least my back and forth with 388/386. Turned...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    UGH, figured it out the hard way. Trend Micro! HW reset router and nodes, several times, methodically testing along the way. Slowly and methodically doing a speedtest with the native tool on the router. I got my symetrical +/- 940Mbps back until I enabled a Trend Micro feature. I was going...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Yup to all that, no tests are run at the same time try to eliminate as many variables as possible. But odd how consistently wired devices and the AT&T gateway are in the upper 900's and symmetrical while the router is today all over the map, from the teans to the 700's and very asymetrical in...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    OK, power of/on, modem off/on, getting rid of the MAC Clone and redoing the passthrough, even built-in vs external libraries, in all cases no change. I'd say carrier but the their speedtest at the modem(resedential gateway) is fine; Also good a the PC and what I would normally see at the...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Been around here long enough to factor all that in. Random or the same Speedtest server the variation is minimal. Right after the router, I run from the PC I get my full speed, from the AT&T modem, full rated speed. CPU is running in the single digits on the router right when the sample is...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    CPU in the single digits except for peaks on occassion, but here are the averages Doubt it's Skynet but after uninstalling it, and a reboot I did get some relief. Going to unplug the router from the modem for a minute or so, if no change then power off/on of the AX88 next.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Update: When I disable Skynet temporarily, the Speedtest results go up a 100Mbps. When I uninstall it, the results go up 200Mbps. Testing at the PC and the BGW210-700 - both in the +940Mbps in both directions. Skynet is using its default lists and only blocking inbound, all scripts and...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 Beta is now available for Wifi 6 models

    Have symmetic bandwidth 1G fiber with AT&T. Under normal conditions the PC/Ookla Speedtest comes back at ~930Mbs +/- 10Mbps and so does the router whether SPDMerlin or it's own Speedtest. At random times, the SpeedTest results at the router whether using SPDMerlin or the it's own Speedtest the...

    Best quote all day - "DFS is a tricky feature" Though based on some of the above, it shouldn't be stable for me, but it is, for hours on end. Tricky remember ;) I'll add that some devices document that they can't connect if using DFS channels on your Router (but they do, my Samsung Sound bar...
