    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 is out

    Assuming all pages are not identical, in theory there could be a character on page five that is messing things up... What happens when you print JUST page 5?

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    Wow that is an interesting usage, and I'm glad that someone else is getting some usage out of a script I knocked together :) Regarding the NVRAM writes, as I understand it, changing the password in this way will not affect your limited writes. I specifically don't do a "NVRAM commit" and thus...

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    have just had a go at tweaking the script on the wiki... basically i have modified the random number generation to remove leading zeroes. replace your existing line with the following and all being well it will fix the issues with not being able to correctly generate a password based on phrases...

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    Thanks for that, I did mention earlier in the thread I thought it was related to leading 0's, but when I tested with a string like 0000007 it worked :-/ Will have a quick play later to see if I can strip leading 0's from the results before using them!

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

    Are you running the peerguardian style scripts from the following link? https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Using-ipset When I first installed this script it worked okay, but recently the block list used appears to have had more IP addresses added that relate to digital rights owners...

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    Following comments on this thread, I have added a couple of alternate functions that provide different ways of creating a random password. getrandopenssl uses the openssl rand option, and getpasswdme uses curl to access the https://passwd.me api. These may require additional software to be...

    Disabling Guest Wifi at night?

    I suggest you comment out the nvram commit from your script; for something that will run every day, it's not really needed and may have an adverse impact on your flash memory longer term

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    I had updated the wiki with a tweaked script to now use cut to get the random number... but now back to using head -c 7 - this sometimes gives a null result, which is what was causes the issue. But the other methods I tried didn't work either... haven't really got time to try debugging this at...

    That image is broken :( what did you do?

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    That's pretty much what I am using; I think the issue is actually in the subsequent command where that output is used to determine something else. I think I need to trim leading zeroes from the urandom result before using it in the printf

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    I suspect my /Dev/urandom code isn't quite right... Without the od command available in busy box I'm trying to find another way to pull a random numeric value...

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    After seeing this run a few times on the cron schedule, it's obvious that the use of the timestamp doesn't provide a great random number generator... As such I have tweaked the script to use /dev/urandom instead of the date function! Updated script is on the wiki link in the first post!

    Force Google SafeSearch

    While I like the idea of enforcing safe search, the problem is I am using the parental controls to force the devices my children use to go via OpenDNS. Will the dnsmasq changes work in conjunction with OpenDNS, or (as is my understanding) will I need to use the router for DNS services so that...

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    You probably have the older version of the code; I tweaked it yesterday to avoid this issue... I used a local path reference to the phrases file, rather than a fully qualified path. If you take the code from the wiki again, it should be fixed there. Alternatively find the 3 references to...

    Setting a random password for guest wifi

    I was going to post this directly here, but I must have too many code tags so it wouldn't let me. As such, I have posted on the wiki on how to do this : Setting a random password for guest wifi Enjoy! edit : following comments on this thread, I have added a couple of alternate functions...

    Bridging multiple wireless SSIDs

    Thanks for the detailed reply! I had initially gone to canon support pages with the issue, and the implication was that under AirPrint the devices talk directly, rather than via the router. The suggestion was to use the same SSID to ensure that all devices are on the same network. Am not sure...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 Beta 2 is out

    I've got that configured correctly. The script runs. The IP updates. But I cannot access the hostname from the LAN. Switching to another network (ie cellphone service) and it works, so the issue is not ports or firewall... It may be a DNS lookup issue but I have had DNS filtering off and on...

    Bridging multiple wireless SSIDs

    Having used a Sky router where everything was on the same SSID, I've upgraded to an RT-AC66U and now have a 5G network to play with, as well as a guest network. So each has it's own SSID, ASUS2G, ASUS5G, GUEST2G, GUEST5G Eldest daughter is the only real user of the guest network, it means I...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 Beta 2 is out

    As I said originally, my No-IP DDNS works, but the afraid.org one doesn't... Given that I don't really need multiple DDNS entries going at the same time, I'm happy that one of them works and I have updated all of my links to that one now. It could be something specific to my setup, but if...
