    Guest Network not working in Firmware 386.2_2

    I'm on Asus-Merlin 386.7_2 with a RT-AC68U, and thanks to this thread I was able to successfully connect my devices switching over to Guest #2. bWith Guest #1 I could not connect except for a single iPhone that had connected when the router rebooted, but none of my other iPhones would, nor would...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    I recall RouterOS 6.x has a poor encryption implementation of OpenVPN. Did the newer versions in 7.x take care of that. Also, how does Asus’ OpenVPN compare to Mikrotik’s… has anyone benched the throughput?

    Route Specific LAN IPs thru L2TP/PPTP VPN Client, How?

    Did OP find a solution? L2TP is the most compatible among my various disparate devices.

    Samba Issue

    I'll stick to the buggy implementations of SMB2 with Sonos. SMB1 with Sonos was buggy in its own way. I had some hope when Sonos implemented version SMB2 earlier this year.

    Samba Issue

    Attaching files from /var/log samba.log is regularly rewritten and the previous version is written to samba.log.old I tried saving all the old ones as they got rewritten, and have added extensions .1 to .4 with .old being the most recent. The Update Music Library error happened at the end of...

    Samba Issue

    Thanks for your patience. Indeed, scripts were disabled. Log level is showing 3, now. Sorry about that. This has not added more verbosity to the samba messages scrolling through the log. I'm posting a slightly sanitized (anonymized) version.

    Samba Issue

    Thanks gents. I added the script (+x) into jffs/scripts, no change in output in the log file: Jul 9 11:09:49 smbd[6192]: [2022/07/09 11:09:49.601964, 0] smbd/smb2_server.c:401(smb2_validate_message_id) Jul 9 11:09:49 smbd[6192]: smb2_validate_message_id: client used more credits than...

    Samba Issue

    I have upp'ed my Samba connections to 99 through the GUI with the latest update (386.7), and enabled multicast as recommended on the Sonos forums. What's a good log level number? I see the log level is zero in smb.conf... how do I add the change to smb.postconf? Right now there are no files...

    [GUI BUG] Samba: Maximum number of concurrent connections.

    Saw that the recent update (386.7) allows 99 concurrent connections in the GUI, up from 9 before. Thanks. There is still a bug however in the user permissions shown for R/W, R, and No columns. I have two USB sticks attached to an RT-AC68U, and the stick on the USB2.0 port has two partitions...

    Sonos and USB attached HDD drive issue.

    Keep in mind that a NAS will double the routing requirements for your router. Ideally it would be plugged in via Ethernet; if it is connected over WiFi then it will also double your wireless bandwidth requirement. I see a USB connection to the router simpler and more elegant.

    Samba Issue

    Thanks ninjabob & Igs. I've had both authentication and access errors since Sonos version 8.4, when SMB1 was the only option. Formatting the USB stick, resetting sonos, adjusting SMB1 and 2 settings, sometimes work, temporarily. Invariably instabilities arise within a month. This is the...

    Samba Issue

    If you are on Sonos S2 version 14+, the products are now also Samba 2 capable. Even with this update, I still have connection issues.

    Sonos and USB attached HDD drive issue.

    Adding myself to the list. A comparable log: Using an RT-AC68U on Firmware Version: 386.5_2. Running Sonos S2 on version 14.10 Using the USB2.0 port with a Monster-branded 32GB USB memory stick. This problem for me is historical, and the recent addition of Samba 2 (Sonos only supported SMB...

    MicroTik RB750GR3 hEX Router Reviewed

    Anecdotally, I see a lot of videos in developing countries dealing with internet stability and needing dual-WAN, e.g. YMMV, but the configurations options are much broader than I've found on any consumer-grade US router. Buy an international version direct from the supplier, if you want it...

    Verizon G3100 vs my trusty AC68U?

    The G3100 is a beast, and I’m still looking for a worthy replacement. Check out the CPU specs. Good comparisons, here — https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/List_of_Tri-Band_Wireless_Devices

    MicroTik RB750GR3 hEX Router Reviewed

    I would like to see snb report on more Mikrotiks, especially performance comparisons to consumer-grade routers. I'm thinking of getting the RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC, but there is often very little comparison online between these industrial-grade routers and consumer-grade. It's as if reviews of...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.7 is now available

    My mods are for country (region free #a), dB power settings, antenna dB, but no overclocking. Under what type of firmware upgrade cycles are CFE's overwritten?

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.7 is now available

    I am thinking of upgrading my RT-AC68U (non-T-mobile) running 3.0.0.4.374.43_2-26E3j9527 (Merlin-John) on a 1.0.2.0 CFE to this version. Will I lose any CFE mod's? Can I revert back to John's if the new version doesn't work for me? I'm having Dual-WAN issues....
