    Mesh setup based on Turris Omnia

    Just a quick update - and another question. I got the Omnia and three cheap Totolink X5000R as mesh APs (their total cost still below 50% of the Omnia). I installed OpenWRT on the APs and after a few days in this new territory I am more than happy. All issues mentioned in the first post are...

    Mesh setup based on Turris Omnia

    Thank you - I wish I could have wired APs, too but it's pretty difficult over here. An Omnia is on the way but adding a bunch of Mox units is quite costly. I will give a cheaper option a try and report back if it works.

    Mesh setup based on Turris Omnia

    The house has a 10x10m square floor plan with brick walls (interior and exterior), partially reinforced with steel. The basement node is located in one corner, the main router on ground floor and the second node on first floor. They are approx 8-9m apart in horizontal direction with about 2.5m...

    Mesh setup based on Turris Omnia

    Hi, first, a lengthy introduction before asking the actual questions: I've been using Asus routers for the past years but despite constant upgrading never achieved a stable setup. The current setup consists of an AX86U Pro (latest Merlin FW) as main router and three AC86U as AiMesh nodes...

    Chrony - spikes in offset

    I had thought about this and will do so, if I am unable to tame the AX86U. That's the way I have set up chrony on the Pi (see first block of chronyc output in my first posting). I still struggle to accept that whilst the Pi's source clock is stable and has tiny variations in offset, the AX86U...

    ntpMerlin Redirect all NTP queries to chrony - except one client

    No, that was my mistake! I was wrongly assuming that I could combine your exception advice with activating redirection via ntpMerlin. I have again switched off ntpMerlin and use the following nat-start file: #!/bin/sh iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i br0 -p udp -m udp --dport 123 -j REDIRECT...

    ntpMerlin Redirect all NTP queries to chrony - except one client

    What I forgot to add... when redirection is enabled via ntpMerlin the following rule is showing up in iptables -S -A FORWARD -i br0 -p udp -m udp --dport 123 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A FORWARD -i br0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 123 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

    ntpMerlin Redirect all NTP queries to chrony - except one client

    Apologies, I was too quick. I added the line to the (empty) /jffs/script/nat-start file and enabled ntp redirection in ntpMerlin. This appended the invocation of the ntpmerlin script to that file. After reboot I see that the ntp redirection was on top of the iptables rules, hence I slightly...

    ntpMerlin Redirect all NTP queries to chrony - except one client

    Thank you - that works!

    Chrony - spikes in offset

    OK, then I would like to understand what other services other than chrony (deliberately set up) and ntpd (not installed) could affect the system time.

    Chrony - spikes in offset

    I would agree but I still feel uncomfortable with occasional corrections of more than half a second (as reported in the syslog).

    Chrony - spikes in offset

    Hi, I hope it's OK to post this here, as I believe it is not an ntpMerlin specific issue (please correct me if I am wrong) I have an AiMesh setup with an AX-86U Pro as main router running chrony. One of the network clients is a Raspberry Pi with attached Adafruit GPS/PPS module. This client...

    ntpMerlin Redirect all NTP queries to chrony - except one client

    Hi, I have an AiMesh setup with an AX-86U Pro as main router running chrony. One of the network clients is a Raspberry Pi with attached Adafruit GPS/PPS module. This client runs a chrony instance, which is using the GPS as refclock and a handful of public NTP servers with the "noselect" option...

    bcm63xx_nand messages - gone after time change

    Hi, this is just an observation on my setup and probably of little relevance but I would be interested in your thoughts. For many months my AC86U (running Merlin's latest stable builds) has been throwing the following message bcm63xx_nand ff801800.nand: timeout waiting for command 0x1...

    USB Application Accounts messed up RT-AC86U

    A bit late to the party but I was just able to solve the very same issue on my AC86U (merlin 386.2_4). The admin username had a "-" in the middle and after applying the nvram changes and rebooting, the name was always truncated before the dash. A client connecting to an smb share triggered the...

    amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

    Thanks again - now I understand. The other way out would be to build my own packages from the source code?

    amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

    Thanks for your reply! I am a bit (lot!) slow in these matters... Would the following repository work? https://bin.entware.net/mipselsf-k3.4/ Is that a problem of the kernel being too old?

    amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

    I am trying to install chrony on my N66U, running John's latest fork and amtm 3.1.8. A fresh install of amtm and entware creates an opkg.conf file with the following repository src/gz entware-ng http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/mipsel Chrony cannot be found there. Is this a pointer to the...

    ntpMerlin ntpMerlin - NTP Daemon for AsusWRT Merlin

    I would like to use chrony on my N66, too. But foo@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# opkg update Downloading http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/mipsel/Packages.gz Updated list of available packages in /opt/var/opkg-lists/entware-ng foo@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# opkg install chrony Unknown package 'chrony'...

    ntpMerlin ntpMerlin - NTP Daemon for AsusWRT Merlin

    Switched on Sept 20. Chrony has not fully removed the offset spikes.
