    Happy birthday to us

    Since I bought by first asus router, an n66u back in the day, I ran merlinfw from the second reboot on. I am so grateful for your efforts and successes, not to mention other devs who have been helpful to creating and constantly evolving the merlin experience from those days, to what we see now...

    Happy birthday to us

    Happy 8th! I was a dd-wrt guy until your n66 firmware started gaining traction. Bought that n66 not long after the release, and have been rockin' merlin ever since. No doubt another donation is due! Cheers, Kevin

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    I just wanted to report back that I finally got .19 stable on my ac86u, after dealing with jffs problems. In a nutshell, I had to nuke everything and start over from scratch... typing, copying/pasting until everything was back up and running again (zero files were transferred, to avoid further...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    Well my situation appears to be about as dire as it gets. After a few tries the router is up and running using a backup from a .19 jffs. All looks to be working fine, but now, no matter what I do, my vpn server won't allow any clients to connect. I went through and made sure the certs were all...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    That is what I was thinking. I just read through some recent posts on this thread regarding nvram backup and restore. Unfortunately I didn't see that info before I started upgrading to .19, so I don't have a clean backup of nvram from when things were working on .18. I can only take an nvram...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    I did exactly that (hit apply after disabling custom scripts, then checked format after next reboot, then apply, then rebooted twice waiting 10min between). The JFFS did appear to be formatted correctly; webui showed no jffs partition, AMTM was asking to be installed (fresh) after I re-enabled...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    I have tried this on my AC86u, but I am still getting jffs2 errors. I actually tried doing it twice just to be sure. Is there any hope for my backup jffs being restored? I wonder if starting over with my scripts will be necessary to get this working again. Kevin

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    IDK, my Sunday has turned in to a complete mess thanks to this failed upgrade. I still can't get skynet working it keeps saying usb not available everytime I access from AMTM. Wish I could uninstall it all and start from scratch at this point, but I seem to fail at doing that as well. I really...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I just updated my ac86u to .19 firmware, and it buggered off all my scripts where I had to restore jffs and all. Everything else seems to be working as it should, except skynet seems to be broken now. The problem is I can't access it from AMTM to try to reinstall it. It keeps saying "USB not...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    Did that, after a half hour of frustration learning the new default of ...168.50.1, now I'm at a proper login page that seems to be working... but it's not taking any user/password?! I've tried admin/admin, administrator/administrator, admin/password, and my original user/pass, and it keeps...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    Well I seemed to have run in to bad luck upgrading my ac86u to .19 today. After rebooting I can't even log into the webgui, as it keeps acting weird with invalid certs and improperly loading pages... now I even have an improperly loaded captcha keeping me out. I can ssh in still, but none of my...

    Homeassistant SSH stops working with 384.18

    Yes ssh, oh boy I botch that post pretty bad! I went back and changed the title to avoid confusion. Thanks for the tip Eric, I am suspicious that is what is going on here. I already mentioned that in the issue report. Hope they get that sorted so I can go back to .18 on my router.

    Homeassistant SSH stops working with 384.18

    I suppose I shouldn't have called dropbear an deamon. :)

    Homeassistant SSH stops working with 384.18

    Lots of folks including myself are using the ssl deamon ssh server on our routers to track wifi connections of our phones (this is used for home automations). Nothing new there, and Homeassistant has a nice asuswrt component that in the past has worked reliably. However, with the latest merlin...

    AIMesh, SmartConnect and Roaming Assist best practices?

    For me it seem that no ra tends to result in less interrupted games, facetimes, and videos. With one ac86u there are small spots in my house (like behind the fireplace bricks) where phones see weaker wifi signals, and with ra on I would see more interruptions in those areas. It got really...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Thanks a ton QuikSilver. For those interested in cutting to the chase and getting it done... visortgw's post was a quick and easy cure: [Release] Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements I just went with 2gb this time, to hopefully postpone when/if this happens again in the future. 2gb...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I've been running skynet for a while and just doing upgrades... back when I started a 512MB was recommended. Today I updated skynet, and it says I need to increase my swapfile size to 1GB minimum immediately. Is there a convenient way for me to do this, without formatting my usb drive and...

    Rp-ac1900 with ac86u aimesh?

    Interesting it isn't listed as supporting mesh by asus... the Amazon page shows Asus marketing materials that say the opposite... even asus website markets it as an aimesh extender. I was thinking mesh is better than a regular ap because with regular ap the client picks... vs the router...

    Rp-ac1900 with ac86u aimesh?

    I was looking at possibly adding a second ap to go with my ac86u to provide mesh. I plan on using a cat6 backhaul. My first thought was to get a second ac86u. Then I saw the rp-ac1900 ap extender for $62 less: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VPL6BL6/?tag=snbforums-20 If I added that as a mesh ap...
