    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    JGrana - Great story. It's amazing how similar our home experiences are. Many times, before my also non-techie wife woke up, I was scrambling to fix something on my network that I broke before she got up and complained that she could do not do something that she wanted to. Viktor - What a...

    RT-AC 88U WAN Speeds Crashed and WIFI Weirdness

    You might check your router temps. I have fans on my AC86U, which keeps the temps between 45-50C. I do not know if they would help an AC88 but they might extend the life of your router and eliminate some of the weird happenings.

    Solved Help finding workarounds for a WiFi bridge repeater that doesn't support VLANs

    You might look into Fresh Tomato as a media bridge firmware for your AC68. It seems to have more VLAN support than Asus but I do not know how it handles that as a media bridge. Still, might be worth a look.

    Long shot: Anyone with WiFi issues on 386.10, 386.11 and 386.12.1/2/3/4 running Home Assistant?

    You might look at your temps. I have fans attached to my AC86U and experience no WiFi problems that I know of.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    I do a weekly reboot, on Sat morning at 3am. But I use a separate device, a Zigbee power adapter, to power cycle the router at that time. Over the years, I found the router methods for doing reboots were unreliable. From the sounds of this thread, I think I will pass on 386.12_2, and wait...

    Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.

    Time to replace my RT-AC88U

    Is there a matrix somewhere that lists all the current Asus routers, how much memory they have, # cores, size of NVRAM, etc?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.11 is now available for AC models

    I'm about to ditch .11 and try .10. .11 was giving me too many problems. I had to redo the installation twice, and even after that, I was rebooting twice a day mainly because of unbound but also scribe. The latest round was when I tried to enter a AiMesh node to the system. Unbound became...

    CakeQoS-Merlin tab missing in 386.11

    I finally made the jump to .11 from .5_2, but am now noticing that the cake settings screen is gone. Is that a bug or is it now an intentional omission? It is not mentioned in the .11 release notes that I could find. Also, is there a way to set the VPN Director Local IP addresses from the...

    spdMerlin Database Missing

    Changing the db file in that directory does not change the stats.

    spdMerlin Database Missing

    Sorry for posting in an old thread. I was having trouble with vn-stat hanging when doing an Update from amtm, so I decided to uninstall vn-stat, presumably preserving the database files, then re-installing. Now all my historical data is gone. What is the location of those database files...

    Create default VPN for all devices and special VPN for a subset of devices overwriting default

    I do this using VPN Director. Create 2 OpenVPN tunnels, then create rules for the tunnels for 2 ranges you want the tunnels to use. Since Director goes top-down, you would set your 1st tunnel to be the exception devices XXX and the 2nd tunnel to be the /24 to catch everything else. What does...

    386.5_2 --> 388.2

    Actually, I knew that. I got caught up in the response of the moment. Regardless, I am planning on a full reset and reinstall of everything at the right time. I was thinking I'd do 10 but with 5_2 working so well for me, I will wait as long as I can and maybe that becomes 11.

    386.5_2 --> 388.2

    I'm in the same boat with an AC86U. It's been too many revs since 5_2. A dirty upgrade will only cause many problems. When I do the transition, I'm planning to do a full reset and redo.

    CakeQOS Cake Stops for No Apparent Reason

    Any ideas about why cake suddenly stops for no apparent reason? Sometimes it restarts again maybe 1 min later on its own, but sometimes not. When I check it around 7am first thing in the morning I see that it is stopped. I have had cake enabled for a while, but just recently added the...

    Advice needed - RT-AC86U and Vodafone THG3000 (Gigafast)

    I have a modem/router from Comcast that provides my land line phone. I logged into the router, and put it into bridge mode, so it only acts like a modem. I then have my Merlin-based AC86U behind that to serve as my router. In this config, I have all the good things of Merlin and I have a land...

    VPN director - specific sites

    I am not aware that you can do this via VPN Director. But I can do this with the VPN client that I run on my Win10 PC.
