  • SNBForums Code of Conduct

    SNBForums is a community for everyone, no matter what their level of experience.

    Please be tolerant and patient of others, especially newcomers. We are all here to share and learn!

    The rules are simple: Be patient, be nice, be helpful or be gone!

    Router temperatures

    As with many things, - the rule of diminished return works here too: The initial measures (the simplest fan, etc.) give the biggest effect; after certain point, further improvements yield less and less improvement. My personal motivation for the comparison above was to see if the higher speed...

    Router temperatures

    The air flow is into the router. It might be less than optimum, but it seems to be good enough while being extremely simple and inexpensive ($13). Do you have a temperature-sensor based controller for the fan that caused it to slow down when the temperature dropped? I am not sure what this is...

    Router temperatures

    Let me add my numbers for the temperature drop with the fan, in case it would be useful for somebody (I've seen a few, for different configurations): RT-AC86U with Asuswrt-Merlin, v. 386.2_2. Fan: one AC Infinity Multifan S3 (120 mm). Three modes are compared: medium and high speed, and high...

    Connected device not shown on "Network Map" -> Clients list

    Oh, yes, I keep forgetting about that. I suspect, it is the same as what shows up under the the "clients list" on the same page. But in any case, - the "incognito" devices in questions still do not show there. That's exactly what I do see in the router log - as I wrote in the original message...

    Connected device not shown on "Network Map" -> Clients list

    Ghm, I don't have that. I am suspecting you have the ASUS' stock firmware - as remember seeing the panel on the right. It could be happening in some cases, - but it is not the reason in my case: 1. It would have shown the device as "offline" on the DHCP server page (pull-down form to add the...

    Connected device not shown on "Network Map" -> Clients list

    I do not see "refresh" button (did you mean page reload in the browser?) - but maybe you meant a different page by "Client Status list"? Refreshing pages, logging in and out of the web-interface - nothing helps revealing those two "obscure" devices. I didn't try rebooting the router yet - to...

    VPN connected devices don’t show up in device list

    I don't know if the behavior reported by the OP is VPN-specific or not. I actually don't know if the VPN-connected clients should show on the "clients list" or not. If they are supposed to show, - this problem might be related to what I just reported in a new thread : some local devices are not...

    Connected device not shown on "Network Map" -> Clients list

    RT-AC86U running Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_2. I have noticed that one of the devices that is definitely connected to the router, is not listed among the connected clients on the first (Network Map) page. It does show in the logs: May 25 05:22:30 dnsmasq-dhcp[30212]: DHCPREQUEST(br0) 192.168.50.49...

    Because typing WPA keys on a smartphone usually sucks

    You just don't have enough visitors/guests who are either developers/DevOps/sysadmins or scientists. When our family travels, we often have two laptops with us. And that is because we didn't travel during this school year, - otherwise we would have had 3 laptops, as the kid would have needed one...

    Asuswrt-Merlin and Asus Router app

    That "Visit Web GUI" on Android opens the Web interface in a browser.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    Just in case this would be useful to you (I've seen this suggestion in one of the threads several months ago): Can you leave the guest network #1 empty, and use #2 & #3 instead? That's what I am using (for both 2.4 and 5 GHz). I did it preemptively, and I saw no problems.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    I am using Tor on RT-AC86U, but not constantly, just for periods of time, enabling it every so often, but not daily. I didn't have a chance to update to 386.2 yet, but it was very recently (in late March) that I updated from 384.19 to 386.1_2. With 384.19, I was using Tor - for just one Mac...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1_2 on RT-AC86U loses ISP connection (Xfinity/Comcast) in strange ways

    All internet connectivity from the router and the LAN behind it was down.

    Access to Win10 shared files stopped after updating to 386.1_2

    On my home network, I have a Win-10 box that shares some files on the local network - to the users authenticated on that box. This has been working for long time just fine. After upgrading the router from 386.0 to 386.1_2, the files share is not accessible. Diagnostics: I can connect using...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1_2 on RT-AC86U loses ISP connection (Xfinity/Comcast) in strange ways

    FWIW, I had very similar "outage" situations with RT-N66R running Merlin fw v.380.70 happening over a long period of time, - almost every time when there was a massive download (e.g. some huge torrent file with a massive number of peers or several of large torrents at once - thus resulting in a...

    Vulnerability in openssl 1.1.1h-j

    Wonderful! Thank you! I was guessing you'd be informed.

    Vulnerability in openssl 1.1.1h-j

    @RMerlin Just in case: Openssl has announced today two "high-severity" vulnerabilities that are present in 1.1.1h-1.1.1j. 1.1.1k fixes both of them. From reading the changelog, I am concluding that both 386.1 and 386.1_2 are affected, The current 386.2 Beta with its 1.1.1j should be affected...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    I cannot find any followup on that concern. So, let me just make sure that this information is not missed. According to the changelong and the first post, the current version of OpenSSL is vulnerable and should be upgraded to 1.1.1i, per OpenSSL Security Advisory of December 8, 2020...

    Scanner connected via media-bridge (RT-N66R) loosing connection to local computers

    Thank you for your detailed response. It gives some food for thought. I've never used WDS, and this is my first experience with the media bridge mode. The reason I've chosen media bridge mode over others is that it does not seem to be wasting the useful bandwidth. In my case it is not just...
