    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 Beta is now available

    I'm now using the beta. QOS helps though isn't perfect. One thing I've noticed is that during a speedtest (max 220/20) the asus AC-3200 CPU is getting to around 60-70% CPU. I *thought* it had been 40-50 before, but having gone back to older builds it seems the same. CTF is reporting as...

    Love to see the TP-Link AV2000 (TL-PA9020P KIT) reviewed!

    I did have to use the powersave patch on one unit - simply because I was using it as a repeater only - nothing connected. The utility doesn't seem to work on Windows 10 'insider' - occasionally one adapter appears then goes away. Probably a blip in the current windows code. Performance wise I...

    RT-AC3200 & recovery mode -- tricky

    Thanks. I tried that but couldn't get either the utility to work.. Nor the web ui to pop up. However the ping and 100ttl was easy so I ended up using tftp directly which worked first time. The recovery software and cfe web ui seems dodgy on this router. Which is a little worrying. No way can...

    RT-AC3200 & recovery mode -- tricky

    I've been experimenting with a few firmware options, but I'm finding it rather tricky to persuade my RT-3200 to go into firmware recovery mode (ie to switch between old/new firmware or different variants when an "upgrade" is blocked. I wonder if anyone has any tips/ideas When configured...

    ASUS Hidden Smart Connect Settings Decoded

    I have a 3200 so I'll be reading through... Out of interest which lower end dual band routers have this feature? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [alpha] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 pre-beta test builds

    Interestingly I had a second occurance yesterday Trying to think of random things that might affect lan-wan performance I went to disable spanning tree... But that of course rebooted the router anyway at which point everything was fast again. Multiple machines affected though they were...

    Wifi output power - RT-AC3200 (and 68u, 86u,88u etc)

    Thanks for the clarification. Are the figures I mentioned typical of all Asus routers? As setup for uk? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Asus routers and NVRAM (AC-RT3200)

    Thanks, yes I can see that radio is definitely taking up quite a bit more config data. Interesting the vpn config is quite significant too nigel@RT-AC3200-AD90:/tmp/home/root# nvram show | grep '^vpn' | wc size: 60947 bytes (4589 left) 381 381 8696 In particular there are...

    Wifi output power - RT-AC3200 (and 68u, 86u,88u etc)

    I was just reading https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ac68u-all-region-channels-max-tx-power-how-to.19262/ about output power on the ASUS routers since I'm still experimenting with how to get decent 5 Ghz coverage. I know that the rules differ by country (regulatory domain) and band/subband, and...

    CPU spiking due to [mtdblock3]

    I noticed this once too - on the earlier alpha 2 build I think, RT-AC3200. I didn't pay too much attention as a one-off but will report back if it reoccurs. I didn't have lsof etc installed

    [alpha] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 pre-beta test builds

    I updated to alpha2 (later june version) on the RT-AC3200 yesterday just before enabling dual WAN (ISP outage, so I configured my old ISP which isn't yet canceled). Once the ISP fixed service the router correctly flipped back to primary and speedtests, pings etc - all normal yesterday evening...

    RT-AC3200

    I don't think >64 is that excessive for a home really. I have around half that - and there's only 2 of us in a 3 bed house.. it's amazing how everything is IP connected now... lighting system, kindles, watches, tablets, pc (there's only 2 here), heating ...

    RT-AC3200 running low on NVRAM

    Mine is right up there without about 4K too, again no scripts. Merlin replied in my other thread that the extra wifi channel causes about 7K+ more usage. A bit of a quandary as I'm just learning to make use of the smart connect feature, the area of 2.4 v 5 Ghz is a particular feature that I feel...

    Asus routers and NVRAM (AC-RT3200)

    Today my primary ISP failed... after a few hours on a tethered phone I spent a moment setting up dual WAN as my old ISP is still active for a couple of weeks. Worked a treat. Having done this I noticed my nvram was getting low (I'm running merlin firmware). Currently at 62971 / 65536 bytes...

    [alpha] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 pre-beta test builds

    Hi, I just thought I'd mention I've been running the AC3200 alpha2 for about a week with no noticeable issues so far..... I'm connected upstream to a virgin media (cable) 220/21 ish connection. About 25 wired devices via a couple of gigabit switches and some AV2000 powerline (4 nodes), but...

    RT-AC3200 - HW acceleration off or on

    How do I tell if Hardware acceleration is active, and more specifically what kinds - for example cut-through forwarding vs nat accel? I can see "enabled" in the "tools" menu, but can I get more detail at the router shell via ssh? Or does that ui string of "enabled" vary? I am aware some...

    Smart connect

    Thanks for confirming that. I do have a 3200 and the smart connect is interesting ... I need to post to the other thread on tuning it but wanted to check as was still in the post purchase procrastinating phase (sorry) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Smart connect

    yes I understand that and an very appreciative of what has been done. Rather than mission this was just a simple question about whether smart connect (albeit just between 2.4 and a single 5 band) had been added to the 68u. Asus don't have it in there but I though thought I'd read somewhere it...

    Smart connect

    I have a rt-ac3200 with smart connect Am I right in thinking the merlin firmware has this back ported for the ac68u from the 3200 and others? A bonus over the stock fw? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RT-AC68U / RT-AC68P / RT-AC1900 / RT-AC1900P

    DO we know if the e1 revision has the updated wifi chip that supports full Mac? I think it's confirmed in the c1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
