    Unable to build from the latest updated Github

    Sometimes Github/VMware corrupts the files, or maybe it's me I don't know. Anyway, I've found that the best way is to download the source code releases through the RSS feed. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/releases.atom https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/tags.atom

    Location to store ipset blocklist?

    Alternatively, when a file is generated locally (i.e. not downloaded) you may compare the timestamps of the files to know when there is change. Diff'ing takes more resources and the files must be sorted. So, this technique here is much more efficient for when a file is generated locally. In...

    Location to store ipset blocklist?

    On the Cron interval, you download the file to /tmp. You can do it as often as you like because it's RAM. Then, do a diff on the /tmp file versus the /jffs file. Be sure to sort the file after downloading, to give it a consistent form, prior to diff'ing. Then, update /jffs only when a change...

    Location to store ipset blocklist?

    You could write a "smart update to jffs" feature. You will probably need to diff two sorted files, since there's no timestamp on the downloaded file. Here's a sample code from my "ipset-save" script. I backup my ipset every hour to jffs only if there's been a change. And I prevent backup of...

    $9 Router Cooling (RT-AC68U Example)

    You can bungee just about anything to the back of the router. It doesn't need to look pretty. It's not rocket science, it's very easy.

    $9 Router Cooling (RT-AC68U Example)

    I use the AC Infinity dual 120mm fans, fixed to the back of the router with bungee cord. These are 5V DC fans that may be run off the USB power of the router. However, I eventually put them on external power to reduce the load on the router's power supply. At an ambient room temperature of...

    NTP Daemon for ASUSWRT/Merlin

    If it don't work, try this: restrict router.asus.com interface listen br0 I think his log error was because "lo" could not be resolved to an IP address in the line, "restrict lo". However, my log shows that "interface listen lo" is valid because "lo" is a valid interface. Check your...

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    Even without overclocking I think you need additional cooling. Just direct a fan onto the back of the router. cat /proc/dmu/temperature CPU temperature : 57°C EDIT: Ambient temperature : 19°C

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    I think "asuscfeclkfreq" would be the father value. However, "asuscfeclkfreq" is not the real name. It seems to be the NVRAM default value for "clkfreq". The mother value is in the CFE, which we shouldn't change without an officially endorsed JTAG recovery method.

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    Need some brave souls to verify this. My router is RT-AC68U Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2. No scripts required for this overclocking method. First, here is my router details: echo $(nvram get buildno)_$(nvram get extendno) 378.56_2 nvram get model RT-AC68U nvram get boardtype 0x0646 nvram get...

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    I suppose the worst case is that I would need to de-solder a flash chip from the board for reprogramming. However, then I would install a socket for the new flash chip. Maybe even run wires to a chip socket on the outside of the router? Then, de-bricking would always be fast and easy. The...

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    Sure, you can set "clkfreq=1400,800" in the CFE and then use mtd-write to flash it. However, if this change causes instability and prevents the router from booting, then a JTAG recovery is the only option. Currently, I am not aware of any "officially endorsed" JTAG recovery method for the...

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    Anyone successfully re-flash the CFE via the JTAG port? I think we'd just need to know the JTAG pinouts, and the location of the CFE in flash memory? http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-ac68u

    Overclocking on Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 (RT-AC68U and RT-N66U)

    Is it wrong to edit the CFE 1.0.2.1 of my RT-AC68U with the Vortex CFE Editor and then flash the updated CFE back to the router? Example: Change "clkfreq=800,666" to "clkfreq=1200,800" in the CFE? Seems like this would persist the clkfreq setting. Will it brick the router? I am not brave...

    Selective TOR by destination URL?

    If you setup Entware on the router, then you may install the Privoxy package. You may configure Privoxy as an HTTP proxy that forwards to TOR. Privoxy also supports user action on the URL pattern that can forward to TOR or not.

    MANY Questions: MC with arrow keys, ASUS Download Master w/ VPN only, and rutorrent GUI interface.

    Entware is more up-to-date. Don't know why it would cause router slowness. It's just a package manager.

    Wireless and VLANS

    I think Yes. A simple example would be if you had a managed switch connected to LAN port#4 of the router. This would be a tagged port that handles all VLANs in use by the switch. So if you want the router to filter those VLANs, you would need to create each VLAN on the router itself and...

    Delaying the connection to the NTP server ?

    There not enough information to know what the problem is. Could be that his DNS is not ready. And that this is causing a 3-4 minute delay in setting the clock to the correct time. So, my sample code is not a valid solution. A better way might be to resolve the IP addresses for pool.ntp.org...
