    amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

    Done! Thanks. (Also good to hear AB4 will provide a new method!) I hear you... I'm not a "linux guy" and am out of my element here.... I learned way more than I wanted to about Fdisk and partitions today. One thing I learned is that if you type "fdisk /dev/sdb1" it is perfectly happy to...

    amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

    Yeah, already saw that... But I'm using ab-solution -- and if I'm reading that correctly, increasing the delay loop is the only real solution, right?

    amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

    I was having the same problem with the disk check as described in preceding messages. After playing with it for a while, I concluded the problem was not with FORMATTING but with PARTITIONING. I set up the flash drive a long time ago -- but apparently it was partitioned as FAT32 (the...

    Asus Router app and "unintentional" activation of remote access to router

    Not really understanding this. I have/use the iOS app; it is connected and working for my 88U. Access from WAN and AICloud are still OFF. I can connect only when at home, or using VPN. I setup the app along time ago, so it's possible they got enabled at that time and then I disabled them...

    5GHz-2 Band on RT-AC5300 Drops After a Week

    If a reboot brings it back, then it is probably the problem discussed in these threads rather than a complete hardware failure: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/5ghz-stops-broadcasting-on-merlin-380-68_2-and-above-ac3100.41485/...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    Good to hear! I never made it more than 7 days without a problem on 380 (with 80Mhz channel width) -- so 11 days sounds real promising. (380 has been rock stable for me since setting 40Mhz, but I'd like to get back to 80 if I can.) Can you post your 5G settings? I'm particularly interested...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    Doubtful, as it is a completely different behavior. What you describe sounds like a client driver having a problem after sleep (not uncommon). It wasn't an issue with the router's 5GHz broadcast, which was evidently still up because the laptop reconnected successfully after you toggled its...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    If restarting the client wifi fixed it, then that is a completely different problem than discussed above. The problem discussed here is a complete shutdown of the router's 5GHz radio -- all clients are dropped, and no client can see any 5GHz transmission from the router. The router then has to...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    Wait, I never suggested setting 80MHz. I suggested setting 40MHz, as that is the only setting that has provided me stable 5GHz operation. With the 80MHz setting, I continued to have 5GHz shutdowns -- often within minutes, although sometimes it lasted as long as 6 days. Just because it lasted...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    The "suspect" laptop triggering the 5GHz failure here is a Lenovo Z70. The wireless is reported as "Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4", with driver version 12.0.0.278. Based on the PCI ID, the specific model is QCA6174. I continue to say "suspect" because I eventually noticed that the last few 5GHz...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    I agree -- that would be a huge PITA. :) Sorry, but I'm currently satisfied with having stable operation (albeit without 80MHz bandwidth), particularly because the family has stopped complaining about all the untimely disruptions. As well, I have multiple scripts that rely on the Rmerlin...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    I agree, and will restate that I have seen NO difference in this problem between Asus and Rmerlin. I have had exactly the same issues with multiple versions of Asus and Rmerlin, so have concluded that the problem is in the wireless driver or other closed source Asus components. I have seen...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    That’s an excellent suggestion. I will inspect that laptop and report what the embedded WiFi hardware and driver are. If others having the same problem have devices in their households using the same chipset/driver, it may be significant. Unfortunately the laptop is offsite at the moment -...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    If 80MHz works for you, I absolutely support you using it. But I tried the 80MHz setting (I've never been a fan of any "auto" setting) before moving down to 40MHz, and it did NOT work for me. Same problem as with 20/40/80; a complete 5GHz failure within a few hours. Again, based on all the...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    I agree. I am 100% certain that -- in my environment, with my clients -- setting fixed 40Mhz eliminates the problem. But I also suspect the problem not just 80MHz operation, but 80MHz operation in combination with something else -- like a particular type of client or client chipset, particular...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    The stock firmware (at least back in May) exhibited the same problem for me. It happened "out of the box" with 380.7266, and upgrading to 380.7378 did not help. I also saw same problem with RMerlin 380.65_2, 380.65_4, and 380.66_beta4. I can't say whether one of the newer (later than...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    When I was testing this back in May (discussed in separate thread), I eventually realized the 5GHz shutdown always (and only) occurred within minutes of a particular 80MHz-capable client (a Lenovo laptop) being powered up. While that isn't 100% conclusive, it did lead me to suspect the problem...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    I had this problem (5g completely disappearing) with my AC88U, spanning multiple versions of both Asus and Merlin firmware. What fixed it for me was setting bandwidth to fixed 40MHz (I always used fixed channel as well). Setting to fixed 80MHz did not solve it for me (although sometimes it...

    Use WoL on AC88U to wake both PC and NAS - How to?

    Does this help? https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/WOL-Script-Wake-Up-Your-Webserver-On-Internet-Traffic That's quite a bit more complicated (i.e., wake up "on demand" rather than scheduled), but I think you could easily isolate the portions that do the actual wake command, and call...
