    RT-AC68U new interface for parental controls time scheduling

    I just stumbled upon this old thread and have to say, I think the meaning of "Offtime" is definitely the time that the device should be blocked from Internet access. The difficulty I still have is figuring out how to span days, or maybe what the 24th hour is as compared with the 00th hour. I'm...

    YazDHCP YazDHCP - feature expansion of DHCP assignments (increasing limit on the number of DHCP reservations)

    Hello, and thanks for this tool. I successfully installed it, but after running, I lost and had to recreate my static assignments. Now it looks like I have duplicate entries, because nvram still has dhcp_clientlist. Should I just clear that (set it to "")? Thank you

    Check which process is spinning up the SSD - RT-AC66U_B1

    Sorry to necro-post, but seems relevant to this discussion. I have an AIMesh setup with two mesh nodes and my main router in my basement. I have an SSD attached to one mesh node and an HDD attached to the other. From what I've read, I can only control things like Enable HDD Hibernation from the...

    AiMesh not working anymore on 2 latest Merlin firmwares

    Thanks @Silly Rabbit, this worked perfectly for me using ethernet backhaul and also the Asus Router Android app. I stood by the AiMesh node while it restarted from a reset, after updating to that beta firmware. I thought the ethernet icon (WAN port) just wasn't going to change from red to...

    Revert Enable Access Restrictions

    I think I'd just forgotten how to get to the point where I could configure one of my other routers as an AIMesh node. Finally found it and am trying to set that all back up now.

    Revert Enable Access Restrictions

    Thanks. I bit the bullet and reset the router anyway. I had backed up the config recently, so it was pretty painless. OTOH, now I lost my previously configured AIMesh node, and I can't seem to reconfigure it as easily as I did once before.

    Revert Enable Access Restrictions

    In my main router, I "accidentally" chose to enable access restrictions (Remote Access Config) to only one AP (I have 3 routers, the main and 2 APs). Now I can't access my main router's UI, which previously was reachable at 192.168.1.1 (with HTTPS on 8443). I also cannot SSH to this router now...

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    I actually had gotten a hold of the mass production tool for the controller, but frankly, didn't want to figure out how to use it and risk really destroying the drive. Oddly, after I managed to finally wipe the partitions and MBR, all of the previously reported block-level errors disappeared...

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    Well, after that update I did finally manage to use an NVME tool to completely wipe the disk. It now cannot be initialized or partitioned (again, CRC errors). I guess that's as good as I can get to send it in for replacement.

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    Following up on this. I managed to get what was salvageable off the drive, and also now have it installed directly in a laptop and am running a WinPE set of tools from a USB stick. The drive seems to be in a completely unusable state. I've tried all commands from diskpart, including clear...

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    I have used diskpart, but didn't try it in this case. By tonight, I'll have an alternative enclosure to try out, so that will be my first step. I've been away from home, so no way to continue testing yet. In fact, I did get S.M.A.R.T. failure reports using smartctl in Linux (said that several...

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    Thanks for the continued input. My drive is already "seen" in diskmgmt, but cannot be initialized. Message refers to hardware failure. Question is whether that's the drive or the enclosure.

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    @thecheapseats, thanks. My options really are to try out another enclosure or find a computer that can host the drive natively. My wife has a loaner from the school where she teaches, but it is locked from booting via a usb stick. If I could change that, I'd be able to test the drive natively...

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    Thanks, @thecheapseats. Will take this all into consideration. I may just try out the Plugable to see if my drive isn't actually hosed. But I've seen ASMedia options, as well. I'm getting a "used" (warehouse) enclosure, so it's not ridiculously expensive. If it works, I may just keep it. I have...

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    Thanks, @thecheapseats. I think the new unit I'm getting (Plugable) has a Realtek RTL9210. ALthough people are saying firmware updates may have fixed issues with some JMicron chipsets, I figure it's worth trying another, and I chose this over an ASMedia-driven unit because of some other...

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    I now am not sure the problem isn't with the JMicron enclosure I've been using. However, I think @L&LD's point is worth understanding. TBD where my issue is. I don't have a computer that can take this drive natively. I've ordered another enclosure, and have an RMA if I need it.

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    Thanks, @ColinTaylor. Yeah, I don't think an electrical spike is likely, since the router and the M2X also seem fine, and nothing happened in the house prior to the issue cropping up. I also have whole-house surge protection on my panel.

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    @ColinTaylor, unrecoverable bad superblock errors with fsck, then ran smartctl and the drive reported failure and had gone into RO mode. I have an RMA ticket for it. It's a 2-year-old HP NVME drive, EX920. Thank you for the additional details. I think in this case I got a lemon. The drive was...

    Help to understand an error message on hdd

    After two years of stable use, I just had an SSD get corrupted while attached to my RT-AC68P (USB3 port). I have another SSD and will be getting the old one replaced under warranty. Two questions, I guess, assuming I'm going to keep doing this: 1) Should I leave "Enable HDD Hibernation" set to...

    RT-AC66U B1 poor wifi range

    Thanks, @ColinTaylor. I just notice this thread and thought maybe I'd found a way to improve my coverage through firmware. Maybe I will test it out on my RT-AC66U_BT1. And look for any advice about increasing transmission power without harming the device, if that's even advisable.
