    AIProtection Alert - Troubleshooting the offending app

    I don't see an option to update the TrendMicro malware signatures via the router. Maybe the signatures are remote. I was at Asus Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.384_81116 Just updated to Version: 3.0.0.4.385.20490 The AiProtection interface is a little different now under the "Malicious Sites...

    AiProtection: GUI always shows 0

    I'm on stock Asus firmware, and AiProtection works. Not sure how accurate it classifies threats though: Sent using Tapatalk

    @RMerlin that website does not return the same classification as the AiProtection in Asus: Sent using Tapatalk

    Asus RT-AX89X review

    What does the last "X"/"U" in the model signify? e.g. AX89X vs. AX88U Sent using Tapatalk

    NVRAM export

    ref: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/faq-nvram-and-factory-default-reset.22822/ (Sorry, couldn't reply there) Good tips on the NVRAM settings export! I typically export the file to the local tmp/ (the few places you can write to without root access) and FTP it down and delete the one in tmp/...

    AIProtection Alert - Troubleshooting the offending app

    My Asus router AiProtection also indicates threat category: Spam, Phishing, Malware Accomplic, Made for AdSense sites, etc. What was the threat listed for that site? And almost all of it comes from my kid's iPhone, not my Android phone or Windows PCs. Sent using Tapatalk

    Asus-rt88u

    As far as I can tell, as of 3/26/2020, v3.0.0.4.384_81116 is the latest stock Asus firmware for the RT-AC88U. I have not had any major problem with this firmware or router model that would be of concern to me. But every 60 to 90 days, the local admin user interface will no longer connect, with...

    Any reason to use one public DNS over another?

    FWIW, there are DNS Benchmark/Speed Test programs out there. Sent using Tapatalk

    Asus RP-AC55 is driving me nuts!

    @Artz I've turned off the AiMesh node. While it may help in extending range a little (at the expense of speed), I wanted a stronger signal where the primary router could already reach. The Mesh node gave a 10dbm stronger signal for an external wifi doorbell, but caused a problem for a printer...

    Reduce size of Android gallery thumbnails file

    I've deleted thousands of pics and videos (moved them to my computer actually). I only have about 200 pics on the phone now. Cleared cache for camera, gallery, media storage apps. Deleted .thumbnails-nnnn file in the .thumbnails folder. Rebooted phone. And that large thumbnail file in the folder...

    Asus RP-AC55 is driving me nuts!

    I use an upper 5GHz channel; lower ones are congested (multiple neighbors and their range extenders). Upper 5GHz channel works via the AiMesh node, but I can't vouch for stability. How would you measure that? The noticeable problem I had was with the 2.4GHz channel operation that looked like...

    Unable to login to RT-AC68U's web gui admin after a few weeks of uptime?

    I had the same issue on my RT-AC88U on stock firmware after a couple of weeks: admin login via web ui no long worked and required a reboot. I read somewhere that enforcing https for web logins was what was causing this. I disabled it, so use http, and web ui login continued to work even after...

    Deleted content

    I registered for and used the DDNS at asuscomm.com when I used AiCloud, AiDisk, etc. with my then new Asus router. I also had my security cams accessible from the WAN. But there were many dubious people trying to access my network via my IP, so I disabled WAN access. I tested with GRC ShieldsUp...

    LAN printer hijacked?

    Let me take a look at assigning the printer a static IP address. That may be somewhere in the printer settings/config? I've always manually assigned specific local IP addresses to selected devices in my router settings, via the device's MAC address. But that would still not eliminate the need...

    Asus RP-AC55 is driving me nuts!

    I can confirm that at least one of the devices that indicates as connected via the AiMesh node is not getting access to the network/internet. Turning off the AiMesh node caused that device to connect to the main router and all was fine for that device again. The Asus AiMesh nodes really need...

    LAN printer hijacked?

    The printer was still not connecting to my 192.168.x.x address, until... I turned off the AiMesh node it was connecting to (2.4GHz) ! So connecting via an AiMesh node is not as transparent as it should be, at least for this printer. I can't turn off the 2.4GHz band on the AiMesh node...

    LAN printer hijacked?

    It was bound to a fixed local IP address via its MAC addeess. I had upgraded router firmware, rebooted, and added an AiMesh node to the network. The printer must have gotten confused and connected somewhere else. Sent using Tapatalk

    LAN printer hijacked?

    My home LAN printer (Canon Color imageCLASS MF644Cdw) at 192.168.x.x for a few weeks suddenly changed IP v4 address to 169.254.56.248 ! I turned it off. Anybody know how this might have happened and whose IP that might be? Sent using Tapatalk
