    amtm amtm 5.0 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, November 17, 2024

    For what it's worth, I dug a little deeper and noticed the main router had an nvram ledg_scheme_old variable, whereas the mesh node did not. I set ledg_scheme_old on the mesh router, and now it appears the LED cycling is working as expected.

    I have set up the LED control script on both my main and AiMesh routers (both GT-AX6000) and I am seeing an odd problem where the AiMesh router does not get the Aura RGB lighting restored. One difference is the AiMesh router menu says Aura RGB is disabled in the WebUI, but the main router says...

    Oops, never mind, after rebooting the router the amtm script now works! It appears the path wasn't updated until the reboot, but all is working now. Very handy script!!

    Hello, I enabled the dynamic LED script on a brand-new Entware installation, and get this error when entering my coordinates: grep: invalid option -- 'P' BusyBox v1.25.1 (2024-07-31 19:48:49 EDT) multi-call binary. Usage: grep [-HhnlLoqvsriwFE] [-m N] [-A/B/C N] PATTERN/-e PATTERN.../-f FILE...

    Problem with multiple SSH keys

    @RMerlin thanks for the clarification! That's all the excuse I needed to install Merlin on the mesh node :)

    Problem with multiple SSH keys

    Hello, I am having problems accessing SSH to an AiMesh node when I have multiple SSH Authorized Keys configured. I have configured the keys using Administration > System > Authorized Keys, one key per line. I found that the main node (GT-AX6000 running Merlin 3004.388.7) and AiMesh node...

    Router DNS returning Refused

    I found that my pihole was configured to use the router, back when I was running unbound. Now I'm simplifying things a bit and using a commercial DNS, so I configured pihole to use that instead of the router. Problem is solved. I'm not sure what was causing the problem, but I'm happy with the...

    Router DNS returning Refused

    Hello, I am seeing a strange issue where the router DNS is returning a status of REFUSED to clients, but if I check from the router, it works. It appears to be limited to www.cdc.gov but it's hard to say for sure. I have a GT-AX6000 running 3004.388.6 with dn-vnstat and scMerlin add-ons. From...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Okay, after sleeping on this, I realized I forgot to check for updates, and sure enough I found I needed an update to - libsqlite3 3370000-1 -> 3400000-1 Once I updated that library everything is good! @Jack Yaz, I would suggest adding an update for that component to your...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    I just installed for the first time, and am getting a large number of errors SQLite header and source version mismatch As part of the initial install the script did an update/install of sqlite but it went by too quickly to see what was going on, and the output buffer filled up with a very large...

    The perils of QoS hiding internet upgrades

    Hey gang, I have a bit of a funny story, at my expense :) So back when cake was rolled out on Merlin (a year and a half ago?) I did all the speed tests and whatnot, and configured cake on my 80/10 cable internet service. It's been working really well, but I started thinking some more bandwidth...

    vnStat [Release] vnStat-on-Merlin - UI, CLI and email - data use and data limit monitoring - R1 and R2

    Cool! I hadn't thought of that.... As a quick hack I can simply change the crontab entry to monthly, and of course every time vnstat updates I'll get a daily email to "remind" me to re-edit :cool: I forgot to mention, but part of my interest was I had an issue with the built-in stats which...

    vnStat [Release] vnStat-on-Merlin - UI, CLI and email - data use and data limit monitoring - R1 and R2

    Hi all, I love this add-on but have never gotten into the email side of things. I took a closer look at that today and found the only option is daily emails. I was hoping for an option for monthly, might this be possible? I think the daily report looks nice, so my thought is "just" add some...

    Unbound unbound_manager (Manager/Installer utility for unbound - Recursive DNS Server) - General questions / discussion thread 2

    While I don't disagree with @L&LD, there is core functionality for each of the scripts: Unbound: DNS server Skynet: firewall Diversion: ad blocker Yes, there is overlap since at some level they all can block traffic based on different criteria, but you should start by deciding what...

    Recommendations for a DIY

    I haven't seen anyone address this so thought I would jump in. I have a Raspberry pi "file server" and use LVM for snapshots of an ext4 file system. If you set up LVM with thin provisioning then the snapshots are block level, working just the way you mention. You can set up samba so that Windows...

    Memory on RT-AC86U

    Hah! Let me amend that then, mine must have been built on a day when they had good thermal pads :D The temps on my unit do seem to be slowly climbing, do the pads dry out over time? Maybe time to look into that fan kit (sigh)

    Memory on RT-AC86U

    Honestly I think it is just luck of the draw. From what I gather from @Tech9 the design of the passive cooling is not very good but maybe my unit was built on a day when they had good thermal pads (!?). Here's my power settings: > pwr show Power Management Configuration Functional Block...
