    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_6 is now available

    RT-AC66U B1 updated dirty stylee from 386.1_2 to 386.2_6 a couple of days ago. All stable, no issues. Thanks RMerlin.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    RT-AC66U-B1 dirty update from 384.18 to 386.1 went ok (RT-AC68U_386.1_2 via webui). Initially after updating I could not access the webui so I power cycled, then it worked normally. The webui seemed faster and snappier than 384.18. Not sure if I should have left it for an hour to do that...

    Unknown "static" IP address in Network Map client list

    Thanks for the explanation. Given the rogue client's IP address was in the automatically assigned DHCP range, and the rogue device's MAC address is not in the manually assigned IP list, shouldn't the router assume the IP is DHCP rather than static? Is that a bug, albeit a fairly minor one? Or...

    Unknown "static" IP address in Network Map client list

    Both router and AP are configured reboot a 4am every day, but I hard rebooted both when I discovered the unknown client. It definitely wasn't the AP's MAC address showing up in the automatically allocated DHCP range. The AP is manually allocated a static IP in the router, though this has never...

    Unknown "static" IP address in Network Map client list

    The client list showed an unknown and unexpected client was connected to the internet via my RT-AC66U B1 operating in router mode. The connection had been made via a wireless AP, wired to one of the LAN ports on RT-AC66U B1 router. The client had an address in the DHCP automatically assigned...

    Issue with Parental Control - Time Scheduling

    Sorry ChatmanR for late reply but I don't have AC86U. It may be similar to AC68U-B1, where you would go to: AiProtection - Parental Controls - Time Scheduling. The disable NAT acceleration link is there in yellow. Click on the NAT Acceleration link and it takes you to the NAT Acceleration...

    Release [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 beta is now available

    384.19 changelog includes: "- UPDATED: Merged bwdpi components from 385_20630 firmware image for RT-AC68U." Does this mean the four vunerabilities/CVEs fixed in ASUS 385_20630 are also fixed in Merlin 384.19? ASUS RT-AC66U B1 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.385.20630 Security update - Fixed...

    Issue with Parental Control - Time Scheduling

    Parental controls time scheduling does not work reliably unless NAT acceleration is disabled. There is a link to the NAT acceleration switch from the AiProtection - Time Scheduling tab, where it says "Please disable NAT Acceleration for more precise scheduling control." The switch itself is...

    Updated RT-AC66U-B1 from 384.17 to 384.18 without doing full factory reset or restore. This "dirty" update seems to work nice and clean. Thank you R Merlin.

    Problem with Guest Network (Wrong Password)

    Thanks. The issue hasn't happened again since I posted so I'm leaving it at 384.17 for now. I'm hoping mine was an isolated incident, though it leaves doubts about stability. @Jack Yaz has an interesting script to enhance guest Wi-Fi here...

    Problem with Guest Network (Wrong Password)

    One of my RT-AC66U-B1 guest networks experienced this issue yesterday. I have two 2.4GHz guest SSIDs and one 5GHz. One of the 2.4GHz guest SSIDs would not connect any clients, no matter how many times the password was entered, nor after rebooting those clients. Prior to that, in the same...

    spooked by frequent notify_rc restart_firewall events

    Ah, yes, that one would be me turning on ssh. I get a similar set of log entries when I set Enable SSH to No. Another event happened today, at a time when nobody would have been connected as admin into the router. A scheduled reboot had occured at 4am, so this one is a in fresh session compared...

    spooked by frequent notify_rc restart_firewall events

    More clues ..? When I connected by ssh earlier, the following rc_service logs were recorded: May 6 22:27:53 rc_service: httpds 242:notify_rc restart_time;restart_leds;restart_usb_idle;restart_firewall;restart_bhblock; May 6 22:27:54 kernel: klogd started: BusyBox v1.25.1 (2020-04-25 22:25:08...

    spooked by frequent notify_rc restart_firewall events

    One other thing I did yesterday, before this issue kicked off, was to connect one of my desktop PCs directly via ethernet into the switch on a nearby AP on the network. I manually reserved a new static IP address in LAN - DHCP Server. This client already had a DHCP address reservation for its...

    spooked by frequent notify_rc restart_firewall events

    username@RT-AC66U_B1-F108:/tmp/home/root# ps w | grep amas_lib 368 username 5624 S amas_lib 477 username 5624 S amas_lib 6083 username 1436 S grep amas_lib 368 seems to be a common denominator. Does any of this provide any further clues about why these events are happening?

    Operation Mode is set as Wireless router mode / AiMesh Router mode (Default) There are no other AiMesh devices in my network. Wireless APs are connected via ethernet. The APs are running a recent build of DD-WRT, providing assigned SSIDs (all different) and using fixed wireless channels to...

    Clear System Logs - General Logs not working after updating to 384.17

    Thanks for clarifying. I now understand how to deploy that trick. Also thanks @dave14305 for clarifying the maximum logfile size. I can see why it is not worth worrying about. It would be nice if the GUI "Clear" function does what it says on the tin, or if the persistence could be user...

    Clear System Logs - General Logs not working after updating to 384.17

    Thanks @elorimer. I have no idea what syslog-ng is, nor that scribe script you refer to. Am I to infer I need to edit a script to prevent system logs being written to jffs? I'm happy to give it a go, but I'm coming to this forum in a state of almost total ignorance, so I would appreciate further...
