    Router lockup: "can't fork" on command line

    Correct. syslog is written to /tmp, which is a ramfs, so it goes away on reboot Sending your ASUS syslog to you NAS is an excellent solution

    How can I go from Asuswrt-Merlin to OpenWrt?

    2.6 went EOL in February of 2016. The last release was 2.6.32. Perhaps this will prod some of the hardware vendors into supporting at least a somewhat modern kernel. Well, we can hope, can't we?

    Contacting ASUS for Tech Support - Good Experience?

    I have no experience with the ASUS router people, but I have an ASUS laptop I've reported a problem to them and they actually called me to talk about my issue. I think that if you haven't heard in 2.5 weeks its not unreasonable to contact them and ask for a status update

    Trouble with https access

    Chrome complains about the certificate because it is self-signed, which means the connection is encrypted but not authenticated. Click on "advanced", and then click on "proceed anyway"

    Synology RT1900AC Router

    I have a Synology NAS and I really like it, so I'm going to buy one to replace a really old G-only AP I have at the far end of the house. There's no way I'm buying one before they are down to list price, or less. I'm way too cheap to pay a premium to be a beta tester :)

    geoip for iptables ?

    In my version of asuswrt-merlin (376.49_5++) the xt_geoip.ko module is included in the flash image, however, the shared library (libipt_geoip.so) that iptables uses to access it is missing, as well as the database. I looked into it a bit, and geoip was commented out in the iptables makefile, so...

    Advanced DMZ, bridge WAN to LAN, route WAN IP to LAN ports

    there's no nvram variable called "wan_iface" on this router, so WIF is null, which causes the ifconfig and route commands to fail. replace that line with WIF=$(nvram get wan0_ifname) similarly, you need to replace WNM=$(nvram get wan_netmask) with WNM=$(nvram get wan0_netmask)

    IPv6 'upnp' pin holes

    I got libnfnetlink to build but then I ran into another problem building miniupnpd and kind of lost interest. From the little bit I poked at it, it wasn't clear that current version would build against a 2.6 kernel without a lot of work. It builds against 3.x without any issues. FWIW, I did...

    Asus-Merlin FW vs Tomato or DD-WRT for RT-AC66 or RTAC68 Routers

    I think we agree on this - we're just using different terms. I tried to explain what I meant by open and I was afraid I didn't do a good job, and now I know I didn't :) Using my terms I would say your development process is completely transparent, and that's wonderful. I can't say enough...

    IPv6 with Prefix Delegation

    That's probably based on customers that lived through the roll-out. I imagine that was painful. I've had comcast IPv6 at the beach since last spring (10 months) and the only time my IPv6 address has changed is when I replaced their cable modem/router with one I bought. When I did that I got...

    IPv6 with Prefix Delegation

    Possibly. Are they just rolling out IPv6? If so, it seems reasonable that things might be in flux on their side. FWIW, I made the claim that asuswrt used odhcp6c because it was running on my router, which has native IPv6 checked in the webui, even though it doesn't have native IPv6. I run a...

    Asus-Merlin FW vs Tomato or DD-WRT for RT-AC66 or RTAC68 Routers

    My unapologetic opinion on the state of software for current crop of high performance consumer routers (that is, AC capable ones) is that it is a mess. I spent a lot of time researching this before I bought my RT-AC66U, and more time thinking about it since then. I've been in IP networking since...

    IPv6 with Prefix Delegation

    you can fix this with a startup script asuswrt uses odhcp6c to pull the WAN IPv6 address and prefix. You can fix this problem using a jffs script to kill the odhcp6c that is running with the default prefix length and restarting it with the length you need. The script should go something like...

    How to customize configuration when building from source?

    Thanks! I'm not sure how I missed target.mak when I was looking at the top-level makefiles but I did. I made my changes there and what got built looks like what I wanted. I'm going to give it a try when I get home tonight.

    How to customize configuration when building from source?

    I followed the directions from https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Compile-Firmware-from-source-using-Ubuntu and built a working trx for my RT-AC66U. Now that I've done that I'd like to build a customized system without a lot of the default stuff that is in asuswrt. I noticed that...

    SIXxS aiccu IPv6 Tunnel

    you don't need aiccu.sh on merlin asuswrt. put your aiccu.conf in /opt/etc/ create a script something like this one in /jffs/scripts/wan-start and chmod it 755. the sleep 60 is there to give ntp time to set the routers clock because aiccu wont run if the time is not more-or-less...
