    Merlin 380.57 Potential Memory Issue

    I don't know if this really is a problem or not, but I have some concerns and want to see if anyone else has observed this same issue. I am running an AC3200, with Merlin FW 380.57. The router is not using any of the other services (e.g., Samba, FTP, VPN, etc). Just a wireless tri-band...

    A way to see network clients that are connected to APs that are connected to the Asus router?

    You mean clearing cookies in your browser? Or are you referring to some setting on either the router or the AP? I'm curious about this as well, because I have a similar issue with the IP's of several devices connected to one AC66U that I use as a "Repeater" and with another AC66U used as a...

    Nest Thermostat -- frequently offline?

    Perhaps the problem is with the Nest itself. Recent articles have suggested that connectivity issues have been caused by faulty batteries for Nest thermostats. See, https://nest.com/support/article/Intermittent-low-battery-or-connectivity-issues-with-thermostat-software-4-0

    Slower than expected wan speed with RT-AC66U when connected to ISP fiber router

    The AC66U is fully capable of keeping up with your bandwidth, but since you purchased a new AC88U, perhaps we'll never know. You are probably right to suspect that a reset to FDS (factory default settings) and then re-inputting your settings manually would likely have resolved whatever the...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.57 is now available

    Muzykcb, your question about time wait state messages in your log files really isn't related to 380.57 FW, but here's the answer anyway: These messages mean that TW buckets (TCP sockets in the TIME_WAIT state) hit their limit for the kernel memory. The amount of current TIME_WAIT connections...

    Help with home network for media streaming

    "More wires" isn't going to solve anything. Your upload from your ISP is going to limit the speed (and quality) of what you can possibly hope to stream over the internet. Also, depending on how you build your Freenas box (assuming you're going to stick with Freenas for your new build) will...

    Cannot get repeater mode to behave correclty

    Sorry to respond so late, but I will, in the event it might help others. First, if your "modem" is truly just a modem (unclear from your description), then you don't need a Repeater. In that case, you want to set up the AC66 as a "Wireless Router" not as a repeater. Based on the way you...

    Replace AC-3200 with?

    Zoomee, I see from this that you reference the "new beta 9460 firmware": Perhaps that is at least one root cause of some of the issues you're experiencing, since the 9460 firmware is for the AC87U, not the AC3200. The highest official Asus firmware available for the AC3200 is Firmware...

    5Ghz Speeds 1-8mbps? (Asus AC-66U)

    When you change settings on the 5ghz radio, are you resetting the router each time? You might try that to be sure the changes you are making actually "stick". Also, on the 5ghz band, what channel ranges are you using? I may have missed where you described this (but it looks like you're...

    Does anyone know of an 802.11ac notebook card WITHOUT Bluetooth?

    The AC7260 has BT built in, but the simple way around it conflicting with the Lenovo BT is to disable the 7260BT radio completely in Device Manager. I hav Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Windows 10 "loses" network device, or something like that

    There are "privacy issues" only if you enable the monitoring that is allowed by default. You can shut off all default settings so that there's no more privacy issues than you'd have with any other browser or OS (unless of course, you're on the Dark Web). Everything and everyone is using...

    Windows 10 "loses" network device, or something like that

    You are over-complicating things. Go into IE and reset your adapter settings to default. Seriously, nuke all of your settings and just leave things at the default settings. Then go into your N66U's Merlin GUI (you don't say what version of Merlin you're running, but assuming you have the...

    Windows 10 "loses" network device, or something like that

    MaryJo Foley (a "she" not a "he"....although you might not be able to tell from her photo) is one of the biggest fans of Windows 10 you will ever read and listen to. She regularly covers MS at the both the consumer and enterprise levels. I have been following her writing and watching her...

    Windows 10 "loses" network device, or something like that

    The only places you'll read that sort of thing are on click-bait sites that have hysterical, frantic headlines about how Window 10 is a Microsoft conspiracy tool to steal your private info, which MS will be turning over to the CIA/NSA/Russians/Chinese/take your pick.... Or maybe you're spending...

    Windows 10 "loses" network device, or something like that

    L&LD is right. Just get Win10 installed and if you're doing an upgrade, get the iso and immediately do a complete reinstall (i.e., a "clean" install). Another option is to do the upgrade, create a second partition on your boot drive, and do the clean install on that partition, and then when...

    Can I run repeater mode (not WDS) with repeater's LAN isolated from host's LAN?

    @Razmatazz: I do not believe you can separate the host & repeater LANS while using your RT-N66U in repeater mode with Merlin's firmware. I use two RT-AC66's along with an RT-AC3200, and run one of the AC66's as a repeater (and before I had the AC3200, I ran one AC66 as the main router and...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    With all due respect, "blame" is irrelevant. Your feel You are correct about how EIRP is calculated. And of course I see that Chrysalis "liked" your post, but he also apparently misunderstands what you're saying. For example, his argument has repeatedly been that Asus is locking down its...

    The FCC is asking for comments on a proposal to require manufacturers to lock down computing devices

    You are correct, it was a rant, and written entirely tongue in cheek. But nevertheless, the point Chrysalis was making, i.e., that rather than require manufacturers of wifi SOHO routers to take steps in order to achieve certification of their devices that insures (1) end users are not able to...
