    Edited MAC address of static DHCP entry. Router won't give new device the old static IP address.

    I just rebooted the router and both "hosts" and "dnsmasq.conf" appear to be exactly the same. They were also recreated after the reboot. I've now deleted the entry from the static DHCP list and will try adding it again. Aha. I've gotten somewhere... So here's the scenario: The device is a...

    Edited MAC address of static DHCP entry. Router won't give new device the old static IP address.

    I think the log entry is misleading. I just changed the settings again and the two files (hosts, dnsmasq.conf) are both changing at the same time. The correct data is populated into DNSMasq.conf.

    Edited MAC address of static DHCP entry. Router won't give new device the old static IP address.

    Sure, but the point is that it was working quite well until I replaced the computer. Yes, I could set it statically on the computer itself and I think I'll resort to that... but having Static DHCP is useful in case the device is moved to another network ... or if I need to reset the router for...

    Edited MAC address of static DHCP entry. Router won't give new device the old static IP address.

    Will edit this after posting... edit: in case you're wondering what's up, I'm getting dinged by the CloudFlare protection algorithm. My (attempted) post doesn't even include sample code or potentially malicious queries. I'm literally just trying to write a couple of short paragraphs...

    "Visit download site" directs to non-existing page

    Same, this is still broken in 386_5_2. Not sure if it was fixed in 386_6 or 386_7. @RMerlin - the "Visit download site" button within the firmware update page goes to a non-existent page and throws an error. For me, on an RT-AX88U, it loads this page: https://fwupdate.asuswrt-merlin.net/0

    RT-AX88U 386.3_2 goes about 3-4 weeks before RAM fills up.

    In the meantime, the only way to really nuke the IPsec logs is to kill & relaunch the daemon and hope that no one is connected at the time, or that their client will auto-reconnect. admin@RT-AX88U-27B8:~# killall starter charon admin@RT-AX88U-27B8:~# /usr/lib/ipsec/starter --daemon charon...

    RT-AX88U 386.3_2 goes about 3-4 weeks before RAM fills up.

    WTF... The strongswan charon process appears to be holding the ENTIRE log file in memory and writing it back again to disk after it's been overwritten. Observe... admin@RT-AX88U-27B8:/jffs/scripts# ./logtrimmer.sh 100 "/var/log/strongswan.charon.log" ; ls -la /var/log/ + LINES=100 +...

    RT-AX88U 386.3_2 goes about 3-4 weeks before RAM fills up.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I expanded on it a bit for a crontab and placed the script in the /jffs folder. Unfortunately, this did *not* shrink the log file as expected. I tried 100 lines, but it's still nearly 20MB. #!/bin/sh LINES="$1" LOGFILE="$2" if [[ $# -lt 2 ]] # if the script did...

    Sweet, thanks @RMerlin!

    RT-AX88U 386.3_2 goes about 3-4 weeks before RAM fills up.

    Thanks for the clarification. Here is a sample of the 'no space left' messages. It would seem that they are all in the /var/ mount point. The filesystem is tmpfs which I assume means a RAM drive. And the culprit does appear to be the strongswan.charon.log file. 2021-09-19T23:30:02+00:00...

    Any suggestion for forwarding the charon log to syslog also?

    AX88U. And yes, it’s probably the same issue. Sigh.

    Don’t you think it’s a bit strict for a forum dedicated to troubleshooting small business network equipment, some of which encourages or even requires remote access and scripting via ssh? How are people supposed to share tips on how to automate things?

    I didn’t intend to make this post about my problem with the forum.

    RT-AX88U 386.3_2 goes about 3-4 weeks before RAM fills up.

    I'm going to add a cron job to my router to send the "top" command once an hour to the syslog server. Unfortunately, I can't seem to show this here because the forum keeps throwing a 403 Forbidden (I had to check the javascript console to figure this out). Gonna send a message to the admins.

    Really frustrating... I keep trying to add a comment and it says: "Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later. More error details may be in the browser console."

    Why is the forum throwing an error when I try to add a comment?

    RT-AX88U 386.3_2 goes about 3-4 weeks before RAM fills up.

    I started sending all my RT-AX88U logs to a syslog server running in a docker container. Everything was fine for about a month, until I noticed one day when I logged into the router page the RAM and CPU bars weren't animating anymore. When I tried to ssh into the router, it would say...

    Safari and Chrome freeze when opening the IPSec tab in VPN. Firefox unaffected.

    Bump. No response. I am still having this issue.

    RT-AC68U in Media Bridge mode won't go faster than 288.9 Mbps. Main router = AX-88U. RSSI @ AC-68U is a strong -35dBm.

    I only see one speed test result shared here. Assuming it was a similar outcome with both firmwares. And you took the test from a device behind the AC68U ?
