    RT-AC88U on 386.16 having WiFi dropouts

    Just as an anecdotal example, I've used an SSID for the past three or four years that begins with a . and only has three alphanumeric characters after that. As far as I know I've never had any issue and this comprises devices of all different sorts.

    RT-AC88U slow speeds with 384.14

    I've recently been considering switching my 2.4 and 5 GHz bands to the same SSID. Is there some reason I shouldn't?

    Is using a USB stick a bad idea?

    Yeah, I've used it. Problem is by default the drives spin down after a really short period. I looked it up and here's a quick little write up. https://blog.fosketts.net/2011/04/27/western-digital-intellipark-feature-design-flaw/ I can't even remember if the drives came with that tool on a...

    Is using a USB stick a bad idea?

    We're straying a little from the OP, but... Those green drives go through many on/off cycles. They spin down at set intervals after no use and I can't remember exactly what that schedule is. I have a couple 2TB Greens running, as coincidence would have it also in a 939 AMD HTPC system, myself...

    Is using a USB stick a bad idea?

    Google had performed a pretty in-depth study like a decade or more ago about hard drive failure rates in their data centers. I believe they found that usage of a spinning drive didn't correlate at all with whether or not a drive would fail. I tend to still trust their data because to this day it...

    Google Home/Chromecast Issues with AX88U and AX92U

    Could be just bad timing. For me, my issues with Google Home and casting to speakers/speaker groups started with the rollout of Android 10 to my Pixel. Some things still work OK, other things don't. Over on the Google Home community forums there have been tons of complaints about recent changes...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.12 is now available

    Here's another one that AiProtection should block. http://wrs31.winshipway.com

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.12 is now available

    Thanks, there was some more info in that thread and another that I followed it to that offered some more detail. Thank you. I'm not using network monitoring and my connection isn't reliant upon DHCP + VPN. I suppose I'll have to keep an eye out for dnsmasq issues but I don't mess with my config...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.12 is now available

    Just looking for some info on this. I have a thermostat that I can push certain data to (like current weather info for my area) and have it show on the display. The way I do this is I pull data from a source, use jq to parse the data and then curl to push it to the thermostat. I give the...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.11 is available

    So I can have the router tell specific clients which DNS I'd like them to use? That seems pretty handy. Thank you guys for clearing this up for me.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.11 is available

    I did not. I just turned it on. It looks like that took care of a lot of the traffic on port 53, but what does it mean if I still see something? So for instance after switching DNS Filter on and setting it to Router, I got one result in tcpdump right away. 20:04:18.834101 IP...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.11 is available

    Just catching up here. I set up DoT. I have a couple questions. I've tried keeping up with the 384.11 beta thread and now this one but may have (probably did) missed some things. 1. Using tcpdump -i eth0 -p port 53 -n I am still seeing things like: 19:47:05.890215 IP...

    Error 0x8007010B on RT-AX88U

    Seems like this issue has been popping up for more and more people over time. Does anyone have an idea what reason this is happening? The fix listed here also took care of the problem for me, but previously and without any change that I can recall I was humming along merrily.

    USB3 hdd on ac86u with Merlin FW

    I think you need to make the file executable. So you'd do: chmod 755 /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf And yeah, I know this is six months old. But I recently had this same issue. Like a couple others have mentioned, I don't recall changing anything and I don't believe this was related to a recent...

    DNSSec question

    I tried restarting everything once the problems started. I'm not a 100% novice, lol. Then I did an ipconfig /reset on a couple machines figuring maybe it needed to refresh for no reason in particular...didn't work. On one test machine I even reset the IP stack (netsh int ip reset) knowing that...

    DNSSec question

    No, I understood I just think I worded my response poorly. I'm not saying Quad9 isn't causing a problem but that the filtering Quad9 does doesn't seem like it would be causing my issue. If it were the issue wouldn't I have seen issues before enabling these settings? I think it would be a huge...

    DNSSec question

    Could you elaborate a little on "most dnssec compliant"? I'm pretty new to the DNSSEC stuff and this is what I see when I run the rootcanary test: I'm on 9.9.9.9 as my only listed DNS server for the time being. Running the GRC test gives me a few different PCH servers with 74.63.17.* but...

    DNSSec question

    OK and just to follow up, this was the error I see on a lot of pages. And then about a minute later without me doing anything, Chrome tries to reload the page and most of the time successfully does it. This happens on tons of sites, but not every site.

    DNSSec question

    It was either that or rebind protection, because I changed them both at the same time (enabled) and began noticing browsing issues immediately. After a while it was just more trouble than it was worth so I disabled both at the same time and refreshed a couple of the pages that had loading issues...

    DNSSec question

    Well it wasn't just a search for skeleton. It was many searches. I thought at one point it might have something to do with page caches and maybe DNS caches that would just work itself out, but it never did and became a hindrance to use. Would you recommend I try again with maybe Google DNS?
