    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    Had been running the beta on an RT-AC3200 but yesterday the router got into an odd state... I was still connected via wifi (5Gh) and ethernet across a variety of systems, but I had no data throughput on any -- couldn't even get to the router UI. I previously had the same issue with the alpha...

    [Preview] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 test builds

    I have alpha2 installed on an RT-AC3200. Yesterday whilst I was out I got a warning that my router had gone down (from the f8lure monitoring tools). Sure enough I arrive home and though wifi devices could connect, there was seemingly no connectivity. Given the time of night (and was in bed) I...

    [Preview] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 test builds

    Is 2-way IPS working in this build (AC-3200 alpha 2) - oddly I've not seen any log entries since I installed the current alpha stream. Co-incidental perhaps, but unlikely...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.3 Beta is now available

    Is anyone using time machine support on the ac3200. When I tried an earlier alpha of 384 it failed but I hadn't tried with official (where it works) and not got around to retrying with merlin I can capture info if helpful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Time Machine : sda errors

    Thanks for the replies. I found a similar thread on the asus forums From what I can see so far it looks somewhat cosmetic, or even a kernel bug, but it's intriguing to know if anyone else sees this with other drives, or perhaps it's Western Digital specific (in which case I may return the drive...

    Time Machine : sda errors

    I have a new 4TB WD 'my passport' drive attached to my RT-AC3200 via USB3. I enabled Time Machine, and started a mac backup running. All looks fine, but I happened to look at the router log and see frequency Jan 28 21:06:38 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 97241056 or similar...

    AiMesh for Tri-band routers: RT-AC5300, GT-AC5300

    RT-AC3200 Current Official Firmware Thread (3.0.0.4.382.50624, 180601)

    still working great here. I wonder if we'll get the 384 build/aimesh too

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.10007 for All Supported Products

    I wonder if it will come to the AC3200

    RT-AC3200 Current Official Firmware Thread (3.0.0.4.382.50624, 180601)

    [Alpha] Pre-release test builds available (both 380 and 382 branches)

    With the RT-AC3200 firmware out ( 3.0.0.4.382.19466 ) will that feature in the next round of builds do you think? Though I note there's no GPL tar I can see :-( I'm wondering whether to try the 382 stock asus (though diff openvpn code, QOS simpler), also intrigued if they did expand NVRAM there...

    [Alpha] Pre-release test builds available (both 380 and 382 branches)

    Glad to see Asus came out with their 382 binary for the ac3200 (19466). I was hoping they hadn't dead ended it [emoji4] phew Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Time machine

    Oops. Yes TB! My mac is a 2016 15" touchbar so no native USB or Ethernet. I just use wireless though get decent speeds. Not a big deal for initial backup. Sounds like it's worth a shot. A TB or so should be enough for the mac, another TB mac for windows machines, and another for more photod...

    Time machine

    I'm using the latest merlin 380 on a rt-ac3200. Thinking of picking up a 4 or 8Gb external had for use for time machine etc. I don't expect the router to be fast but does it generally work ok? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    iOS calling drops (380.68_4)

    Just doing a SSID split will result in my iPhone 'sticking' on 2.4 Ghz - it picks that up first, and it has the best coverage. Windows PCs are more forgiving I think due to having the concept of network priorities. Not experimented with macOS yet. So I think the only thing I can do is to -...

    iOS calling drops (380.68_4)

    Thanks for the reply... I'm with Vodafone, and no VoLTE yet, so there'll be no wifi->volte roaming. Just 3G. coverage is just about ok in the worst part of the house, but I wouldn't normally lose the call. enough for wifi calling to kick in though, and its handy when I go to other places. I...

    iOS calling drops (380.68_4)

    A few experiments * with smart connect off I still got a drop quickly * I also get a drop if I intentionally walk away from the router (outside) with the phone on 5Ghz .. somewhere 2.4 should be fine - the implementation seems awfully sensitive * A roam 2.4->5 seems seamless though this...

    iOS calling drops (380.68_4)

    I have a RT-AC3200 using merlin 380.68_4. Amongst a myriad of devices I have an IOS device (11.1, now 11.2 beta) with wifi calling (Vodafone UK). I get call drops at home, but wifi calling seems ok elsewhere. I may lose the call within a minute, or several minutes, but it will be pretty quick...
