    Problems when Tor is enabled in 386.13_2

    Thank you for your response. Here is what I observe: 1. When I just enable Tor for a single Mac address, everything works as expected for some time: it an be short (30-60 min?), it can be long (several hours). After that variable period of time, some "switch" happens, and I cannot connect to the...

    Problems when Tor is enabled in 386.13_2

    In 386.13_2, I have an issue with the Tor connection enabled on the router for a single Mac address. That makes the entire network unusable. I had used this with the previous versions of Asuswrt-Merlin on this RT-AC86U without a problem. Here is what happens with 386.13_2: 1. After I enable...

    How to block YouTube - Router Asus GT-BE98 - Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_34372

    I use "Parental Control" on AC86U, check-marking "entertainment and streaming" - to block the YT on kiddo's devices when needed. (It is a per-device setting, not the entire network.) However, just recently, it was weirdly working for one web browser on one of those devices in question, and not...

    Unkown MAC address on Guest 2

    It is connecting but it is not authenticating, as it doesn't have the credentials. See the screenshot in my thread showing the status of this device.

    Repeated Wi-Fi connection attempts are not fully blocked

    Thanks a lot! Indeed, if it is set in each of the guest networks, it works. I still don't understand why it was saying "Successful" in the logs though...

    Unkown MAC address on Guest 2

    I posted about the same issue almost at the same time: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/repeated-wi-fi-connection-attempts-are-not-fully-blocked.90309/#post-910021 [Edited:] MAC filter doesn't seem to help. does work, but you have to apply it to each SSID separately, including the guest ones.

    Repeated Wi-Fi connection attempts are not fully blocked

    I've been getting these lines filling up system log of RT-AC86U, about 18 times per minute.: eventd: wlceventd_proc_event(530): wl0.2: Auth FC:67:1F:40:92:C7, status: Successful (0), rssi:0 This is not one of the devices that was given credentials to my network. When I look at the "Wi-Fi" log...

    Can Verizon CR1000B work with other brand MoCA adapters?

    I am considering connecting the two floors of my home via the existing coaxial cable using MoCA. For that, I am considering using Verizon's CR1000B router that was given to me for free with the Verizon Fios installation as a MoCA adapter, so that I can buy just one other MoCA adapter. I was...

    R6330 in bridge mode suddenly refuses to connect via Wi-Fi to the "main router"

    For about 2 years, I've had the following internet configuration at home: ASUS RT-AC86U (with Merlin firmware) being my main router, and Netgear R6330 used as a bridge for 2 Ethernet-only devices: desktop+SMB-file-server and an MFP printer. After moving to a different place, I've restored the...

    samba share from router-attached HDD

    Thank you for that idea, I don't know how I hadn't thought about it. And yes, you are right, it does seem to be a problem with the desktop PC's SMB client. (It worked when I connected the laptop to that Netgear bridge via Ethernet. Since I've discovered that almost a month ago, I've been trying...

    samba share from router-attached HDD

    I have an RT-AC86U router with an attached HDD (USB3). I created an SMB share. I can access it from a laptop and a phone. However, I have problems accessing it from a desktop that is connected to the same network via ethernet & Netgear R6330 in a bridge mode. (This router connects a few...

    Question about security protocol used by RT-ACU86U

    These are the screenshots from the Wi-Fi survey page ( /visindex.asp ) for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, respectively. My router (shown in read in both cases) is RT-AC86U. I am just curious, what is meant that my router has "AES" (and not AES-CCMP)? As far as I understand, "AES" is just an encryption...

    In what time zone are the parental controls?

    First of all, thank you, @ColinTaylor for suggesting these commands to check the rules. The rules look fine, but after that initial incident, I didn't experience this problem. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to look at the iptables at the time of the incident, as my kiddo needed to start the...

    In what time zone are the parental controls?

    That's what I expected, but, something doesn't compute. There was no message changing to DST, but a bunch of processes reported restarting/reloading: Mar 12 03:00:30 miniupnpd[2803]: shutting down MiniUPnPd then ovpn-server1 also restarted (causing dnsmasq to restart and reread its...

    In what time zone are the parental controls?

    I encountered a strange problem with Parental Controls -> Time Scheduling: After the change to the daylight saving time on March 12 (in the US), it looks like the scheduled times remained in the non-daylight saving time. I have a computer for which the offtime is 21:00-7:00, and now it gets the...

    failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60s)

    I also had this issue in late November. As I discovered from the log later, for several days in a row ( I saw 3 days, but I didn't see the onset of those , I was getting errors dnsmasq-dhcp[30491]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60 s) Those were...

    Any conflicts between ASUS Android router app and Merlin firmware?

    I am wondering if anybody has seen any real conflicts between the ASUS android app for controlling routers and Merlin firmware? I am not talking about the obvious differences in functionality (and some things not available in the app), but only in the things that might get the router getting...

    What does "The For ALL DEVICES flag of Prof 1 has been set to DISABLE" mean?

    I observe it on RT-AC86U with the latest (386.7_2) Asuswrt-Merlin. However, I saw it in relation to other ASUS router models, so, I assume the meaning of this log message is the same across different models, isn't it?

    What does "The For ALL DEVICES flag of Prof 1 has been set to DISABLE" mean?

    I've recently noticed this message in the syslog: kernel: The For ALL DEVICES flag of Prof 1 has been set to DISABLE While trying to google it, I've found it in a bunch of posts on different forums, but I cannot find any mentioning of what it means (and when is likely to appear). It is not...

    Relatively high load with idle CPU on ASUS RT-AC86U with ASUSWRT-Merlin

    Thank you for that link! (Having worked with different *nix systems for many moons, I feel weird seeing these erroneous load numbers.)
