    WLCEVENTD wlceventd_proc_event(386): eth5: Deauth_ind

    Hmm, apparently there are some issues with these firmwares and ASUSWRT defaults. I followed the advice here, and also moved an AP much closer to improve signal strength. Not sure what specific thing helped, but it has managed to stay connected for an hour, and that is pretty legendary. Fingers...

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/many-log-events-wlceventd.61920/#post-552948 It won't help actual disconnections though.

    WLCEVENTD wlceventd_proc_event(386): eth5: Deauth_ind

    That is two years old though, right? What are the exact symptoms you are having, are devices unable to stay connected, or are you just being flooded by that error? If the latter, you may be able to fix it by just changing the log level.

    WLCEVENTD wlceventd_proc_event(386): eth5: Deauth_ind

    Sure, I don't think there is a problem with the router, I do suspect the devices. Everything worked between the router and these same devices prior to updating the firmware, so it isn't the hardware. The only change has been Tasmoda, but the issue hasn't been common with Tasmoda users, and using...

    WLCEVENTD wlceventd_proc_event(386): eth5: Deauth_ind

    Hmm, did that just start? What firmware are you running? I am on 384.16 beta2. And here I had been thinking that it was CUSTOM-19, a new virus that infects custom firmwares like Merlin and Tasmoda. My "medical" vape better watch out, it runs Arctic Fox. And my Obihai, drones, smartphones...

    WLCEVENTD wlceventd_proc_event(386): eth5: Deauth_ind

    I read here that this message can be ignored, but I don't think that is the case here. I flashed several IoT plugs and bulbs with Tasmota firmware yesterday. Everything went well, but the darned things won't stay connected to my WiFi. Prior to flashing, they were fine. The devices are...

    QNAP TR-004 4 Bay DAS

    Thanks, maybe I will do that. Some reviews make me concerned about the build quality of that DAS. It is only $200, but it would be housing $1500 in three drives. If I splurge for a full NAS, it will kick the price up a good bit for something that I don't really need. But if the DAS is flimsy...

    QNAP TR-004 4 Bay DAS

    Does anyone happen to have one of these, and might you be able to share any advice? I need trustworthy storage for a growing collection of video that is currently at about 28 TB. It is currently stored on an assortment of 6 TB and 8 TB USB drives, which is far from ideal. There is some...

    Impressed by the TP-Link Archer A7

    TP-Link manufacture the router version of disposable lighters, disposable razors, paper plates and paper towels. On the other hand, I have a soft spot for anything with "Archer" in the title. "Phrasing!"

    Looking for a replacement for Asus RT-N66U

    A second voice for the 86U. Stellar device for the price point, and you can get refurbished for even less. The 1900 might even be something to look at, performance-wise, it is somewhere between your old 66 and the 86. Also, you might take a peek at John's Merlin fork. I might be very wrong...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    Dunno if it matters, but for fun, I ran three speed tests, one with no QoS, one with Adaptive QoS (fq_codel / DOCSIS) and one with bandwidth limited to 75/5. Everything works as expected. This is an 86u, though. Blue Iris server takes a big bite out of bandwidth, pushing > 200 gigs a day through...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    Smooth colors, love the look, and running reliably as usual so far, but still, no smoke, no pyrotechnics, and not a single detonation. 10 out of 10 for reliability, features and aesthetics, but a resounding 2 for excitement. Maybe you are holding back on that aspect of it because of the current...

    Wireless Bridge Recommendations

    This may not be helpful, but there are a number of unlimited 4G plans that should provide more than sufficient bandwidth for work remotely, for pretty reasonable rates, maybe the $50/month range, with no contract. It isn't free, but at least it would get you working..

    OT - surviving pandemic from personal experience (no trolling, PLEASE)

    It really does, COPD took Leonard Nimoy away from us. And he survived the 1960s, the adulation of millions of hardcore fans, and Star Trek V. The man was a trooper.

    YazFi YazFi - enhanced AsusWRT-Merlin Guest WiFi inc. SSID <-> VPN Client

    This probably isn't the "click a radio button" answer that you want, but you could easily run pfsense or Wfilter, maybe in a VM. That might be a hassle, and might not be doable for various reasons, but it would get you some traffic logs.

    Rt-ax92u and HDD

    You could use a RasPi as a file server instead of the router. Very cheap, very effective.

    Evacuating office - need to set up telecomuting

    In your OpenVPN config, are you using TUN or TAP to route SMB? You might give that a change. OpenVPN works fine on Mac, BTW.

    Help with OpenVPN connections to remote LAN

    And as a user who has never once shied away from rolling up my sleeves and diving in to fix things that weren't broken and spending the rest of the day trying to undo my "fix", I appreciate the fact that Merlin has made so many things brain-dead simple.

    YazFi YazFi - enhanced AsusWRT-Merlin Guest WiFi inc. SSID <-> VPN Client

    Not bloody likely ;) Iptables looks like Telerin to me. These days, much smarter, younger people at work do that sort of heavy lifting, while I shake prospective client's hands and pretend to know what is going on around me. I did manage a Secureway firewall on AIX several decades ago, but Big...

    YazFi YazFi - enhanced AsusWRT-Merlin Guest WiFi inc. SSID <-> VPN Client

    Thanks L&LD, I may end up doing just that. Sometimes less is more, and that certainly applies to RF noise, but creating a dedicated guest may be the only alternative.
