    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    With 98% RAM used on AX-86U with test build Beta after Beta3, I did a reboot from the Web GUI then saw the USB Drive (swap, entware, Diversion, Skynet etc) was disconnected which is unusual. I then did a power switch reboot at the router and the USB Drive connected fine. Running amtm, I saw...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    On AX-86U with test build Beta and before that Beta3. I'm seeing high memory use for both Beta firmwares: after rebooting eight hours ago, the memory usage has moved up from ~65% to 97% Used 997 MB Free 27 MB Total 1024 MB I haven't used Asus stock firmware, so don't know if stock is...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    On AX-86U with test build following Beta3, AiProtection - Time Scheduling seems to be working as expected. A printer that was set for restricted internet could not access firmware update information over the internet, and after giving it one-hour access it's now updating its firmware.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    Thanks - AX-86U test build Beta is working for me using a dirty install on Beta3 (which was a dirty install on Beta 2 :)). With Adaptive QoS and manually set bandwidth, I'm seeing expected (e.g.: reduced) download and upload bandwidths on speedtest on a WiFi connected laptop, and FlexQoS is...

    In some dire need of assistance (AX86U)

    On the new AX86U with new SSID and not seeing any specific disconnections. Google devices on the network include a Google Pixel 4 smartphone and a Google Pixelbook (but no Google smart speakers like Mini or Home): wifi connections seem stable.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    Spent the day with AX86U on Beta 3 without running into any new issues. So far not seen WAN disconnection with two VPN clients running (next step to let NordVPNManager manage one of the VPN clients). Same as others have reported here, AdaptiveQoS DL/UL bandwidth settings do not affect...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    Saw the known issue not to use the first guest network with 386.1 Beta 2. Still I'd like to run two guest networks: on the second and third guest network slots. The third guest network shows "Default setting by Alexa/IFTTT". Anyone know what this means? Trying to maintain an Alexa free...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    I've seen "internet disconnected" four times, requiring router reboot to restore internet connection (Motorola modem did not need rebooting): happened three times after hitting Apply settings in NordVPNManager to apply a second VPN client; once during the night for reasons unknown. Yesterday I...

    Upgrade from AC66U_B1?

    My AC66U_B1 has been very dependable though: too slow to reboot, which makes hard reset and complete settings installs tedious for new (and always fabulous) Merlin builds; weak WiFi 5G coverage in some places inside/outside of home; can only run external disk drive on USB2.0 (not USB3.0)...

    In some dire need of assistance (AX86U)

    I'm about to do a similar upgrade: currently on an AC-66U B1 with asuswrt-merlin for around 3 (happy) years. I have a new AX-86U in shrink-wrapped box and hoping to find time to switch during the coming holiday, out of work hours. What's holding me off is it may take me several hours to do the...

    ASUS Announces RT-AX86U and RT-AX82U

    I'm curious: are you using both USB3 ports, each connected to an 8TB drive? If so how is the RT-AX86U WiFi performance on 2.4GHz band during disk activity - particularly further away from the router? (Background: I have an RT-AC66U-B1 and using USB3 with disk activity causes a *huge* drop in...

    ASUS RT-AC66U B1

    Agreed - it's my current router 384.18 using similar speeds as bbunge with Comcast. Two issues for me: - USB3 connected hard disk (SSD or mechanical) cause interference issues with 2.4G WiFi band - Client VPN using OVPN in the router run bit slower than computer based OVPN software I'm hoping...

    Asus RT-AX56U samba much slower than ftp

    Do you observe the same issue on 2.4G and on 5G WiFi ? If 2.4GHz only: try setting the USB to work at USB2.0 speed, and check for the same issue

    Dual wan is partially broken in newer firmwares

    I played with Dual WAN failover using WAN and LAN4 on same router as dezents, with Merlin 384.18. I saw the internet was disconnected on devices with WAN (docsis modem), and soon gave up. My current setup is Dual WAN failover using WAN and USB, and WAN internet works as expected, so agree with...

    Nest Protect cannot connect with DoT enabled - RT-AX88U 384.18

    RT-AC66U-B1 Merlin 384.18 I see my two Nest Protect devices have not connected in 29 days - which I think is when I did a factory reset and installed 384.18. My router is set to use CloudFlare with DoT. Today I reprogrammed the Guest WiFi connection of both Nest Protects through the iOS app...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Asus RT-AC66U-B1 / Merlin 384.18 I have three HomeKit IoT devices using Skynet to "ban" them (menu: 11, 11, 2) from internet access. These devices are connected to the same WiFi as the AppleTV that acts as the hub in HomeKit. Everything HomeKit works fine. So if your smart plugs have a hub...

    After reboot, Asus GUI lost addons and nvpnmgr

    All script tabs are restored after a reboot this morning. => all looks good now. Thanks Jack - nvpnmgr version is at 1.0.0, I ran a check in the gui tab, also command line update nvpnmgr > "u" check. The first time stamp I see in the router-gui syslog was after the reboots yesterday that (I...

    After reboot, Asus GUI lost addons and nvpnmgr

    Merlin 384.18 Asus RT-AC66U B1 I rebooted my router several times today whilst experimenting with Dual WAN (long story - not important here). Now in the router GUI, I can not see - add-ons menu (with spdMerlin and conmon tabs) - nvpnmgr tab in VPN - uiDivStats tab in LAN. However I can...

    How to find the max up and download rates ?

    I'm trying spdMerlin: it seems to be giving the correct WAN speeds (meaning not affected by QoS) and can create a 7 or 30 day average value. I'm going to try 85% of that average value reported by spdMerlin. For my connection, occasionally spdMerlin shows short-term drops well below the average...
