    Need help tracking down recurring AC68U space issue

    What about the directories under /tmp ? Are any of the directory sizes also growing ? My (/tmp)/var/log direcory would grow to over 18MB. It did, untill I moved /var/log/dnsmasq.log to mounted storage at /opt/var/log/dnsmasq.log. /tmp/syslog.log should be clamped in size to keep it and the...

    In some dire need of assistance (AX86U)

    Or the time it takes to fill up their filesystem with conversations it's been eves dropping on. One of the comonalities does seem to be that DNS is not being served from the router itself and DNS filtering/protection is taking place on the local network. I may be going in the wrong direction...

    In some dire need of assistance (AX86U)

    Was the checking done on the router ? Or the dns logs on the pihole ? To me this would seem more like a finicky set of client devices, rather than a flakey connection to them. One person mentioned his devices in question will go 2 -5 days without a problem before they all seem to go down about...

    In some dire need of assistance (AX86U)

    I hadn't seen any mention of this .... Has anyone thought to check the PiHole DNS logs to see whats being blocked to the Google-Home-Mini's ? They are expected to "phone home" once in a while for updates/syncing. When they can't call home they think the internet is down and start reconnecting...

    Asus Merlin + IFTTT via Webhooks (home automation)

    DNSMASQ can run a script when devices get, renew or release a DHCP lease. This would require Merlin firmware, or some kind of hooks in the stock firmware that atleast were managing your /etc/dnsmasq.conf file. I don't know what, if anything, gets fed to the script you'd create. But this seems...

    Coaxial One Way Filter?

    If that line is acting as an antenna picking up strong local signals then it's probably also is RADIATING signals from the coax. While this might not be a problem for you directly it does cause noise and interference on the US Aircraft band. The FCC has strict regulations for this type of...

    Should I keep my AX86u

    Based on past experiences, I have declined positions because their network(s) and workstations were a disjointed hodge podge of equipment from multiple vendors. Part of my duties for one would be o provide support of the operation of users desktops. These ranged from legacy machines recycled...

    RT AC86u / 3.0.0.4.386.41634 / Unknown mac's appearing

    eth5 ? If I'm correct eth0 connects to the switch. While eth1 and eth2 are the connected to the 2.4 and 5.1 GHz radios respectively. Real, or not, I'm certanly curious where your router picked up an extra device. If I don't recognize the MAC address, I couldn't track it down and it only...

    ac87 concurent client limit?

    While sticking to the 3 channel rule/guidline , I've always found best range and preformace when using a control channel that matched the weakest station with the least congestion and overlap. When 2 stations are on the same control channel they will try to co-exist and have better luck doing so...

    Solved RT-N16 bricked after firmware update? How to rescue?

    The few times I've gotten the message that the router wasn't in the Recovery Mode and pings/lights were saying it was , is when the WAN connection was still hooked up between the failed router and the internet gateway. I've had one that was bricked with the slow flashing power light but...

    DNS Configuration Doubt

    The first page is where your router connects to so the instance of dnsmasq running on it, as a resolver, can lookup names doing DNS service for the computers and devices connected through it on the local network. Usually, it gets populated by DHCP from the settings given to you by your ISP or...

    Is it possible to search/find filename via ssh?

    If the OS doesn't have locate or whereis I've often used alias locate="du -ah / 2>&1 | grep " locate myfile when I'm looking for a file with a known extension I can use locate "my\.file" to look for my.file This works extremeley well for me when in a small file system such as in router...

    ASUSWRT 386 new guest network IP space and DHCP static IPs

    Maybe it isn't a requrement but it does seem to simplify IP based management for dns , firwewall rules and bandwith shaping in QOS. In 386, I can now enable QOS and still manage to give the first guest networks subnet a thin slice of bandwidth with a set ceiling rate. My feelings wouldn't be...

    WISP Mode on RT-AC3100/RT-AC88U?

    Though it isn't going to be as robust wiht available features as you might be hoping for, The setting you are looking for on an ASUS router is called "WiFi Proxy" in Repeater mode.

    RT-N56U - unable to use any USB app

    It looks as though there has been a breath of new life to the Padavan fork for this. Though, I didn't see where downloadable binaries were available. Maybe I should have looked a little harder But it looks there are still more recent options available...

    RT-N56U - unable to use any USB app

    I've I've had one of those and I'm pretty certain it doesn't support hard drives of that size. To get it to work you'd probably need to transfer the files to a smaller drive. L&LD is correct though , even though that is the most recent firmware offered by ASUS for your router, It is a quite...

    territory_code=CN/02

    I have the mentioned routers but not currently using them here. It would seem though that this setting might also disable some feature like encryption transports or web gui pages for countries that are (for the lack of a better word) blockaded by the US . North Korea and Cuba come to mind. OR...

    can not remove file from either /tmp/home/root or /jffs

    Funny, And I have the opposite problem that I'm using "vi" commands while sitting at a windows box and wonderinging why it's not working. I'll have to try moving text type files I've created this way from my router to something with windows. Letting me see the effects you described on the last...

    can not remove file from either /tmp/home/root or /jffs

    Technically, I guess it would be [CR][LF] to get the print head started back to home before moving the output up and beginning to print again. But I think you understood.
