    Random net loss, 5g going down

    In most cases, not much. If you have clients that support 80MHz, and they are close to the router, and the channels are clear (no interference from other routers/ap)... then 80MHz can provide more total bandwidth. In many cases, achieving all that is elusive - and 40MHz (or even 20) is...

    Random net loss, 5g going down

    Same here -- I currently have 5GHz devices that show connected for 609 hours (25+ days)! When I was using 80MHz, it never made it to 7 days without losing 5GHz despite trying other settings (including various combinations of MIMO and airtime fairness). Going to 40HMhz is the only thing that...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66 is now available

    QFT. I fully expect to see a post along the lines of "...loaded 380.66_4 and an hour later it started raining outside! Rolled back to 380.66_2, tried it for 3 minutes, and my my doorbell rang! Tried 380.67, didn't reset or anything, and around dinner time I felt hungry! This stuff is...

    Random net loss, 5g going down

    I'll cross my fingers for you.... :-) My previous record was less than 7 days. Since making the change from 80 to 40MHz, it has now been up consistently for nearly 20 days: I have devices in the Wireless Log that now show connected time of 477 hours, 46 minutes. So that change definitely...

    Random net loss, 5g going down

    Same here... Irritating to not be able to use the "full capability". I'm still not certain whether the problem is solely related to 80MHz operation, or if it is 80MHz in combination with some other setting -- which is why I posted my entire list of 5GHz settings. It's possible 80MHz would be...

    Random net loss, 5g going down

    As an update to post #74.... After yet another 5GHz failure, I subsequently made one change to settings -- I changed channel width from 80MHz to 40MHz. It has now been up for over 306 hours (almost 13 days), without a single problem. The 5Ghz devices that have remained in the house (3 ipads...

    iblocklist.com generic ipset loader for ipset v6 and v4

    Thanks! Saw some references to prerouting but didn't connect... "iptables -t raw -S" (or "iptables -vL -t raw") correctly shows all the blocking sets in prerouting. Thanks for the help, and thanks for the script!

    iblocklist.com generic ipset loader for ipset v6 and v4

    Looks like I need some help... When I run iblocklist-loader.sh, it appears to work fine. No errors, list files are created, whitelist and blacklist are processed. But when I look at iptables, I don't see any blocklist rules. I expected to see some "-m set --match" entries in the FORWARD...

    Random net loss, 5g going down

    I have had this randomly happen on my AC88U. As others have said, the 5GHz completely stops broadcasting -- all 5G clients lose connection simultaneously, and no client or scanner can see the 5GHz SSID -- but wired and 2.4GHz clients continue operating normally. It has happened with both stock...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66 Beta is now available

    I'm running beta2 and have (29) reserved IP assignments for a variety of ipcams, phones, tablets, computers, smart home devices. All are getting correct assignments with beta2 (as with every other version). After adding your assignments, you need to (1) Reboot the router, and (2) Reboot each...

    More Logging for WiFi Events?

    Very strange you can have stable 5Ghz for weeks, then have it fail 4x in 24hr with no changes in settings. After the 2 failures I had, each about 3 days apart, I changed settings to limit 5Ghz to N-only (no AC) and was stable for a week. Decided to turn AC back on to see if the problem would...

    Quick Question about Merlin FW 380.65_4

    No quantity of hard resets with manual reconfiguration will fix this with current firmware. The problem is reportedly that the current GPL wireless driver lacks support needed to interrogate temperatures on the newer Broadcom chip, which is used in hardware rev A5 of AC-3100 / RT-N88U. The wl...

    More Logging for WiFi Events?

    Thanks for the follow-up. That uptime is definitely encouraging. Which specific firmware version are you using? [EDIT - I see you posted the answer as I was posting the question, please ignore!] First thing I did after taking my 88u out of the box was load RMerlin 380.65_2, followed by a...

    More Logging for WiFi Events?

    @kevin... Any update on this? Did running the stock firmware solve this long term? I'm having the same issue you described on my 88u with Merlin 380.65_2. The 5g radio just disappears, usually after 2-3 days of running perfectly stable. Wired and 2.4g clients continue working fine, and the...

    Dang. Oh well... Thanks for the quick answer and great firmware! :-)

    Suppress "Custom Script Running" messages?

    I'm using Merlin 380.57 on an N66U. I recently implemented a custom dhcpc-event script to log "bound" events. That works great. But every time the script is called, the firmware posts an informational message to the system log, like this one: Mar 4 12:39:02 custom script: Running...

    Monitoring Web Usage with Asuswrt-Merlin

    @john9527 and @ocram59 -- Most of this discussion is beyond my understanding... But I do see a couple differences in the iptables rules that ocram59 posted, versus the rules that are working for me (also N66u, Rmerlin 378.51). I don't know if this is significant, so I'll just throw it out...

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    Good to know. It appears dnsmasq is very efficient at handling a large hosts file. The three recommended files combined, then doubled to create an ipv6 entry for each, results in over 49,000 entries and a file size of about 1.2mb. When active, it decreases available memory on my N66u by...

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    I tested, using the AWK command in my previous post. It does work, creating a ":: domain" line for every "0.0.0.0 domain" line in the file. This obviously doubles the number of lines in the file, but dnsmasq seems to be fine with that and I don't see any obvious performance degradation. Mar...
