    Access Point Dumb Question

    On the N66U (I suspect the AC68 is the same, but don't know), the wireless log shows which clients are connected to 2.4g and which are connected to 5g. However, there is some delay in removing clients from the list when disconnected, so they tend to show up on both for a while. Personally, I...

    Access Point Dumb Question

    That's my experience as well -- switching is virtually seamless, you might notice a slight hiccup if you are streaming or something as the transition occurs but normally it isn't noticed. "extensi0n" adds an important note that I forgot to mention. Make sure the two devices are on...

    Access Point Dumb Question

    I am currently using the Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.35_2 release. Uptime is showing 43 days 8 hours on the router, and 40 days 6 hours on the access point. I suspect that's when I loaded the firmware on each. Rock solid! Network map lists 25 clients; only 7 of those are wired (one is the N66u AP)...

    Access Point Dumb Question

    I have a large home with (2) N66U's. One is used as the primary router/gateway and to provide wireless access at one end of the house. The second is connected to the first via CAT6, runs in AP mode, and provides wireless access to the other end of the house. Both use the same SSID's and...

    Cosmetic UI issue with Client Status

    I think the problem is more complicated than that. When I initially go to the Network Map, the list is displayed with scroll bars, and the link to page2 of the list is cut off. See first attached jpg, where you can barely see the page2 link, mostly obscured by the scroll bar. If I click...

    RT-AC66U- blocking outgoing emails.

    Have you tried using port 587 for smtp? Port 25 is often subject to blocking, and even if one of the flunky script-readers at TW said "nothing is wrong on our end", it is still possible they are blocking it on some IPs. And yes, it could be blocked for only one router because they have...

    IPV6 Activation

    Thanks for the reply, but I think you were typing it as I was typing my second message (see above). Everything started working just fine as soon as I changed the MAC address being presented to Comcast. My GUESS is that MAC was associated with an old gateway that didn't support IPV6, and...

    IPV6 Activation

    Fixed? Update... IT WORKS NOW. But I don't understand why. I have always used a custom MAC address on the WAN settings, and that has resulted in getting the same IPv4 address/gateway for at least a couple years now. I removed that MAC address, letting Comcast just see the Router's...

    IPV6 Activation

    I am having a problem activating IPv6. The router is a N66U with RMerlin 3.0.0.4.374.33 firmware. (I had the same problem when using RMerlin 3.0.0.4.374.32. When I upgraded to the .33 release, I reset to factory defaults and setup from scratch.) Everything works perfectly when running in...

    Dns

    Internet Status Just click on the "Internet Status" icon. The current DNS servers will be listed below the WAN IP.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.372.30_2

    Client List Not Working I have this same issue -- the client list never populates, and the IE9 console contains this error: SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property 'length' of undefined or null reference nameresolv.js, line 64 character 17 I never had this problem on 270.26b, and I don't have...

    Looking for a stable wireless router for network with 20+ clients

    Stable for me I have a N66U with the RMerlin 3.0.0.4.270.26b firmware, and currently show 28 clients connected. Current uptime is only 17 days due to a power outage, but it has gone much longer than that with no stability or client issues whatsoever. Clients include: 1 Windows7 desktop...

    Does asuscomm.com DDNS work?

    Works for me... Resolution working fine for me all day today. Have not tried to update as my IP has not changed, so cannot speak to update functions.

    RT-N66U & Airplay & Range Extender Problems

    I do not. I tried a couple range extenders / repeaters, and my experience was that even when they did work, the speeds were severely compromised. My solution (and advice), if at all possible just run a cat6 from the router to the remote location and install an access point instead of using a...

    RT-N66U & Airplay & Range Extender Problems

    Igmp Apple Airtunes relies on a protocol called IGMP, and unfortunately not all access points (and repeaters) properly pass those packets upstream. Make sure you have the latest firmware for the WA830. Then look for a setting in your WA830RE that refers to "IGMP Snooping" or "IGMP...

    Adding NvRam settings.

    From another RMerlin previous post, an example that doesn't require you to retype all the values.... This requires a usb flash drive; replace "sda1" as needed for your particular drive. Save values: nvram get vts_rulelist > /mnt/sda1/portlist.txt nvram get dhcp_staticlist >...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.270.26 - Disconnect

    That's because by default "ping" keeps running and never returns. Try adding the "-c" option to limit the count, and it will return to the interface.

    Low signal on 5ghz..?

    At what distance? Higher frequencies have lesser range, so it would be normal to see a lower strength on 5GHz than 2.4GHz at a given distance.

    Howto Easy start of a guestnet?

    Perhaps the script could look for a file on a USB drive as the trigger? The cron job could launch the script every few minutes, the script would check for the "trigger" file on USB, and (if found) enable the guest net and delete the file. The kids would only need the ability to create that...

    Not sure if Traffic Monitor per deivce is correct

    Apologies, I see you did address loopback in an earlier post. Seems like for some that could be large amounts of data. For example, I know that our portable devices map a lot of internal resources using their DynDNS names, so they will work from inside and outside the LAN. That includes a...
