    Kaspersky reporting network attacks behind an RT-N66U

    If its a message from your own PC or your local LAN, perhaps from a VPN connection, quite likely nothing will be seen on the router. Do you have any links to the Chilean bank that owns that IP address block?

    What to do when Firmware Restoration Utility won't complete? [RT-N66U]

    Are there any limits on the size of firmware loadable via the CFE? dd-wrt used to provide tiny firmwares for initial loads, latest Asus firmwares are much bigger than now than when the routers CFEs first compiled! In any case would be good to identify the smallest good one! There have been a...

    Enable jumbo frame on 192.168.1.1

    Does your router firmware version have the Broadcom switch control tool "robocfg"? Would have throught the web gui config would use this, but login via shh and see what it can do for you, i.e. robocfg showports Switch: enabled gigabit Port 0: 1000FD enabled stp: none vlan: 2 jumbo: off mac...

    Merlin Firewall...???

    The router has a number of routing and packet filtering rules and the nat translation that allows multiple lan clients to share the same WAN IP provides some protection against the wild internet, but is it really even a firewall? By default any reply to outgoing messages are allowed through, so...

    ASUS RT-N66U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.3264

    There are reports that 2.4G wireless is broken in this version, http://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-n66u-2-4-gz-seems-to-be-dead.32698/ another reason to hold back upgrading

    [Beta] RT-N16 Firmware version 9.0.0.4.380.2695

    Haven't seen a thread here, but has been mentioned elsewhere on SNBForums Great to see this old router getting an update, after a gap of over a year http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN16/HelpDesk_Download/ It really needs a CFE update to allow a bigger NVRAM, but doubt that will ever happen...

    N66U losing WAN after modem reboot

    I don't see much difference between dhcp-event and wan-up script, have just used the latter since it is standard in Tomato. Not sure about deconfig - in my case the issue is that the router sometimes doesn't deconfig when it should renew automatically. I'm sure you can use crond for once per...

    Asus-N66U 2.4 GZ seems to be dead

    Very strange, do check with a 'wifi analyzer' type of app. I have had a problem where a neighbours router, presumably on auto kept moving to an adjacent channel whenever I moved mine. On 2.4 GHz you really need to have 3 clear channels between you and your neighbour. Also do set it to 20MHz...

    Asus-N66U 2.4 GZ seems to be dead

    Use a PC/mobile app to choose the best free channel number - auto may not work. Delete the connection profile on your client machines and reconnect. There are reports you can go back to earlier firmwares using the router repair tool or CFE web console - it is just web gui downgrades currently...

    N66U losing WAN after modem reboot

    See other recent thread, I experimented with dual wan and fall back did not seem to work well - seems to be confused by my primary cable modem which is a form of half-bridge and the router gets a local ip when its wan is down. Might work better if modem powered off! Lots of code in wanduck.c...

    N66U losing WAN after modem reboot

    It's only 1kB so not a problem for jffs ... but I try not to use it - just paranoid! I have other scripts too including one which sends an email to my gmail account on new wan connection, and adblock scripts and Entware so I need the usb. There are many other ping scripts around, dd-wrt has...

    N66U losing WAN after modem reboot

    N66U losing WAN after modem reboot

    In the log the time is never obtained, suggesting an internet connection never obtained. There is a record of udhcpc getting a WAN IP with hour lease time. When the modem crashes/reboots should the WAN IP change? Because the router would not start to retry for half the hour. I have had a...

    RT-N66 with Merlin 380.57 firmware max throughput

    My N66 can speedtest at 220Mbps with the Broadcom CTF enabled and real ISP connection, and no QOS IP accounting etc, without CTF max speed was 120-150 depending on options and firmware (Tomato etc). This is with wan type dhcp - I assume pppoe has higher overhead? My current connection is very...

    DUAL WAN: watchdog failback not working as it should.

    The code is complicated because of all the different connection possibilities, usb, wifi, pppoe etc. I am not too familiar with the asuswrt code, so do not know for sure that is the current code, nor which compile options are set - but I read the commented out bit a hint that someone considered...

    DUAL WAN: watchdog failback not working as it should.

    I have also seen this - I think the issue is with half-bridge modems, when they don't have a true wan IP they give the router a local IP via dhcp with a short lease time, could be 30 seconds. I have a feeling the dhcp renew on the failed connection confuses the router - does this trigger the...

    ASUS RT-N66U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.3264

    No GPL yet, but presumably it is coming as the AC66 one is there. Interested to know what the first paragraph means for this specific router - can this be loaded from the web interface of previous versions or just blocks installation of previous versions? What about firmware load via PC router...

    XBOX 1 requesting dhcp constantly

    Consoles and some Windows versions do this when they cannot get out to something on the internet - are you adblocking by domain or hosts? Due to the ancient dhcp protocol there is no way for a dhcp server to tell the client to renew, so the devices try to refresh the IP and wake up the...

    Development musings

    You have had a great run RMerlin, please don't leave us, would be great if you become the Linus of asuswrt-merlin, only pulling well formed security and upgrade patches into the official merlin git from a team of model specific developers. Perhaps you could focus on just the one you want to use...
