    Dual Stack home network pros and cons

    The title says "pros and cons". My 2cts. IP V4 only here (on the Asus AC-86U). My cons for V6 are my lack of skills in V6 and my lack of desire to "manage" 2 "flavours". I have some DNS settings (for adult content filtering). I have DHCP settings with specific V4 IPs for some clients. And some...

    Thank you for the feedback. Neat solution.

    Parental control the SH way

    Hello, Thank you ittp20 for sharing this. Very interesting. From an intellectual standpoint, I like the idea of not "overloading" the router and not checking packets when there are no traffic restrictions. I'm curious, have you by any chance, noticed a performance hit when using iptables to...

    DHCP renews for one computer ever 5 minutes

    My Sony Android TV, cabled, does something similar when in sleep mode, every 30 SECONDS or so...

    Android TV - V9 Pie - Link constantly cycling between DOWN and UP, in SLEEP mode

    Hello, Thank you for the pointer. I didn't know about "green ports". And it's difficult for me to assess if I have some, and/or how I could use this knowledge to modify the behavior, even though I just looked at some Cisco doc and Wikipedia. That Cisco doc. says "Energy-Detect Mode—On an...

    Android TV - V9 Pie - Link constantly cycling between DOWN and UP, in SLEEP mode

    Hello, My television has a "feature" that will probably go unnoticed to most people. When the television is in "sleep" mode, the network constantly goes UP and DOWN, in approximately 30 seconds cycles, being mostly UP. It is cabled with CAT5E to an AC86U, that has IPV6 disabled. The network...

    spdMerlin AutoBW - current values?

    Dear Jack, While we are at it, I'd like to suggest a note/sentence about the monthly volume used for spdMerlin. spdMerlin knows the frequency and could present the expected "bill"/total to the user. The text could be something like "Considering the current settings, expect spdMerlin to use...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_6 is now available

    From 386_4 to 386_6. Careless dirty upgrade as usual. Not the smooth usual experience. I ended up with issues in my entware installation on the usb stick. Next time, I might unmount the USB stick before triggering the update. For the rest, all good. Thank you very much to RMerlin, the "Senior"...

    Solved SOLVED - my "grep" is broken - relocation error - Inconsistency detected by ld.so - GLIBC

    Hello Dave, Sorry, while you were writing, I found a few more threads and reinstalled entware from amtm (I guess I used "ep" in amtm but I'm not sure. I did that after nuking the previous entware). I should have been more patient because your approach seems much more subtle... Thank you very...

    Solved SOLVED - my "grep" is broken - relocation error - Inconsistency detected by ld.so - GLIBC

    Dear Forum, Around the time of the install of 386_6 on my AC86U and subsequent reboot, grep broke on my system. I cannot invoke it in the shell, nor can scripts use it. (I can infer the timing of the issue thanks to the connmon script that started failing.) After first install of 386_6 (and a...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0

    Thank you for the nice comment. I would approach it differently: not trying to change how Cake handles CS4. I would tag that traffic with a different DSCP. If you use diffserv3 and want some traffic (e.g. gaming) to be in the top tin, with the current Beta, just assign it to the "Voice"...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0

    Dear Dave, It was easy to point at some details. It is difficult for me to imagine the best approach... First, I have to admit that my first feedback about the Beta missed the point a bit. When someone defines some traffic as Gaming and some other traffic as Voice, the current beta scheme...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0

    Dear Dave, Thank you for your recent work on this, and all that came earlier. I wish to give feedback about the typology of traffic in the beta, considering the intent is to "re-tin" (i.e. assign to different tins). AF41 and AF31 are always sent to the same tin by Cake. I don't see the point...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0

    Hello, FYI: On my AC86U, I just hit 370Mbps with Cake on. And maybe it was limited by my line (which gives 400Mbps in ideal conditions) and not cake or the cpu. I think I have previously hit closer to 400Mbps with Cake on. YMMV I guess each household has various needs but at my home, I'm sure...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0 alpha

    Here are my 2 cts. When you download stuff, you have to send back ACKs. If your link is very asymetrical (like 50 to 1, i.e. 50 times more throughput on the download), you might end up with throttling on the download speed/throughput because the link is not able to send all the expected ACKs...

    connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

    Dear Jack, Thank you again for connmon. It is brilliant as is. And it is brilliantly developed, in a way that allowed me to fork it and tune it to my needs in no time (additionnal-targets branch in github). I have used open source/free software a lot. But it's the first time, I can really...

    connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

    Hello, I like having the option for spdMerlin. For connmon, I don't bother, I let the pings under the umbrella of the QoS (Exclude=NO). I'm convinced the impact on connmon is close to zero. And the potential undesirable side effect of stopping QoS (e.g. on videoconferencing) is too high a price...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0 alpha

    Hello Wade, Morris, My understanding is that Hazel's ratio is 10:1. See below. Hence, I provided the reference and insisted on The reference suggests to try "Filter ACK" if "your up/down bandwidth is at least 1x15 asymmetric" So, in my understanding, Hazel's context is not where...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0 alpha

    Here is a quote by a guru, which confirms the suggestion of Morris. In the quote, notice the 'if', the 'test' and the ratio. if you want a little more bandwidth on your uplink, and your up/down bandwidth is at least 1x15 asymmetric, you can try the ack-filter option. It doesn't help on your...
