    Voxel To unregistered readers of SNB forums

    Dear Voxel, I never used your firmware but as you described the thread as "moral/ethical/culture", let me give you a point of view from my own age group, culture etc. I value a lot some "free" "products" and I make/made small donations to many of them (for instance Wikimedia, Mozilla, RMerlin...

    Router temperatures

    Hello All, Thank you very much for the ideas of solutions. I don't want to imply that the issue doesn't exist but I'd like to illustrate that it's not universal. **************************** Legend: 2.4 GHz - 5 GHz - CPU Current Temperatures: 46 °C - 49 °C - 74 °C ***************************...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    AC86U. Nothing significant to report after 24 hours. Upgraded to 386.2 beta 1 from 386.1_2 (dirty upgrade). 386.1_2 had been dirty upgraded from a clean 386.1. Approx. 15 wifi clients. Only one Ethernet cable pluggedin for the LAN, coming from an 8 port switch. connmon active. spdMerlin...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Dear Jack Yaz, Thank you very much for this and connmon, both of which I like a lot. spdMerlin stops cake-qos to produce a speedtest of the line that is not impacted by the router settings. Merlin 386.2 offers built-in cake (Adaptive QoS/QoS/Cake). FYI, as opposed to cake-qos, the built-in...

    [Alpha] 386.2

    Dear Dave14305, Just curious, would you care clarifying what you did (rules on router OR rules on the device that generates the traffic ?) and which results you observed (actual packets in the target tin, as evidenced by tc -s qdisc) ? I experimented with this myself. I could only direct...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    I can consistently create a ghost spike when switching my Android 9 phone to "Airplane mode" (Huawei Mate 9). I also got a spike when restarting my Microsoft Surface Pro 7 with WIN10 (and Cisco AnyConnect). Both were connected in 5GHz. (There were no ethernet or 2.4GHz connections). Really...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    Hello, Thank you for sharing. It is very unexpected to me that this could be related to one or more 'special' devices. I might test this in my context. How did you block the Internet during your tests? I can think of many ways and I'd like to use the same as yours. Thank you Take care W.

    USB - JFFS - CFG // Restore // What order ?

    Hello, I have temporarily installed some Official Asus versions (including Betas) to chase an "official" Asus problem (Ghost Spikes). Before that, in Merlin 386.1, I had saved my settings and JFFS and safely unmounted my USB stick. After reinstalling the very same Merlin release on the same...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    Hello, FYI, RT-AC86U_9.0.0.4_386_42210-g5edd47f_cferom_ubi.w seems to solve the issue with my AC86U. No ghost spikes after approx. 20 hours, and plausible totals. Kudos to the development and service desk at Asus Take care W. PS: Of course 9.0.0.4_386_42210 is not Merlin but I guess it will...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    Hello, Asus offered me to test a new Beta (or is it rather alpha? ;-) ) version for AC86U, supposedly adressing, among others, the spikes issue: RT-AC86U_9.0.0.4_386_42210-g5edd47f_cferom_ubi.w. As I'm happy with my current clean Merlin 386.1 setup with Cake, spdMerlin and connmon, I'm not...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    The case of my AC86U shows that different settings could impact ghost spikes. The hardware acceleration could be a good candidate for a first test indeed.

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    FYI, on my AC86U, with 386.1 (not 386.1_2), I currently get * one or more spikes within approx. 5 minutes without cake-qos, so with hardware acceleration ON (Runner and Flow Cache enabled) * no spikes within 10 minutes with cake-qos, so with hardware acceleration OFF (Runner and Flow Cache...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    Amazing, Morac. Earlier tonight, I could get a ghost spike within 30 seconds or so, as usual. Your feedback made me want to test again. I have just finished installing cake-qos (which I used to run before 386) on AC86U with 386.1 and I'm not getting a spike as fast as usual. Note that, as a...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    2cts... My interest in Traffic Analyzer / Traffic Monitor / Real-time is related to the display of the "instant" traffic / throughput. I only just realize that the Android app also provides the information, albeit in a less convenient/clear format. And it seems to not be impacted by ghost...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    Just not yet ;-) . RMerlin mentioned he had never seen the issue. So, even though it is obvious for those who experience it, like you or me, it is apparently not universal. I'm not surprised the helpdesk wants the customers to reproduce the issue with the latest release before passing it to...

    386.1 Wifi time scheduling

    The blocking by Asus is focused on traffic to the internet (-s), not from the internet. To understand it better, I used: iptables -t nat -n --list PREROUTING iptables -t filter -n --list FORWARD and iptables -t nat -S | grep -E "(FORWARD|PC|NSFW)" iptables -t filter -S | grep -E...

    386.1 Wifi time scheduling

    Hello, Thank you RMerlin for the explanation.. In 384, the PControls chain is targetted (by FORWARD) when the traffic is allowed (e.g. daytime). In 386, the PControls chain is targetted when the traffic is not allowed (e.g. at night), just the opposite. A look at FORWARD will confirm that. I...

    GT-AC5300 Traffic Monitor now broken

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    If you are interested, I can test on AC86U. Note that I'm in a different timezone, CET in Europe. So, it might slow down interactions. I usually get the spikes within 10 to 30 seconds. So, they are super easy to reproduce. Note that tonight, I had almost zero traffic on wireless, and the spike...

    Traffic spike fix from 384.14_2 was reverted in 386.1

    Hello, DeepAnger, thank you for sharing input. May I suggest that, in future reports, one tries to actually show the spike. I mean, in the screencapture above, the graph for "Internet Connection (WAN)" is flat. In my experience, one of the other graphs (e.g. "Wireless 2.4" or "Wireless 5")...
