    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    I wanted to report that after turning off AiCloud services last Sunday the issue stopped entirely. It has been almost a week and no more suspicious outbound traffic. Here is my thread on my issue: Suspicious Outgoing traffic on RT-AC86U

    Has anyone gotten IKEv2/IPSec PSK VPN to work on Android 13 with Asus-Merlin 388.1?

    I know this is quite old post but I wanted to confirm I tried those steps on my RT-AC86U with Merlin 386.14 and OnePlus 9 Pro (Android 14). It worked great and I find this instruction much clearer the 10 longer official guide from Asus, LOL I cannot comment regarding security.

    Interesting theory. I honestly cannot remember turning them on myself. I have them disabled and so far so good. But it has been only 2 days so far.

    I am curious too. Meanwhile I can only confirm that after shutting down AiCloud services yesterday things are quiet so far, no suspicious outbound traffic.

    I have not until you mentioned it. I set up IPSec VPN Server on the router and now I am able to use Instant Guard on my phone. Thanks for the tip!

    Suspicious Outgoing traffic on RT-AC86U

    Good to know, I was trying to test it last night and in fact I was having trouble getting using my cellphone as mobile hotspot. I was using this VPN while back and I had no problem. I am assuming I may not be able to connect, not many options left since I am leaving shortly.

    Suspicious Outgoing traffic on RT-AC86U

    I am actually travelling over the next few days and I enabled it allow me to monitor things during this time. Based on feedback here it was acceptable and low risk. Update: After shutting down WAN/iCloud and restarting router around 11:30 am, there is no suspicious outbound traffic reported...

    Sorry forgot to specify. These were taken with WAN Access and iCloud Disk + Smart Access enabled. I just disabled those and we will see what happens.

    Definitely, I was using one of the built in options on my previous router. Are those options any good or safe to use?

    Suspicious Outgoing traffic on RT-AC86U

    Got it, I did not see problem this afternoon. If there is any pattern it tends to happen earlier in a day. I will be watching for it. Meanwhile I am not sure if this will help in any way but this is current state (without outbound transfer). ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC86U 386.14_0 Sat Jul 20 17:12:47...

    Suspicious Outgoing traffic on RT-AC86U

    Vaboro, thanks for the tip. Definitely makes sense. I wanted to have WAN access when I travel for extended period of time but honestly I never really needed it. It is probably not worth the risk. AiCloud stuff is useless for me so I have no problem disabling it. I do need DDNS though, so I am...

    Suspicious Outgoing traffic on RT-AC86U

    Folks, I just got back home after few hours and see overwhelming number of tips. Thanks everyone!!! It is currently not happening but I will be ready to run it next time it does. Out of curiosity, are we looking for specific suspicious file to show in /tmp folder? There over 60 files there...

    Suspicious Outgoing traffic on RT-AC86U

    Hi Dave, thanks a lot for such quick response! It definitely looks like my problem. I started reading the thread and going through recommended troubleshooting steps. So far I identified {sshd} is involved by looking at the TOP while outbound traffic was taking place. But "find / -name sshd"...

    Hello everyone, I am new here and looking for some help with my RT-AC86U. Over the last few days I started experiencing frequent internet connectivity interruptions: video audio streams interrupted, unable to refresh web page. I setup continuous ping -t google.com and this quickly revealed...
