    Maximum DHCP Lease Time?

    Excellent discourse gentlemen. If I could configure these devices as static IPs, that would be great: I did not see that as a configuration option for these IOT-HOA devices. I suspect that what is happening is that when the lease is up, then the devices are failing to renew due to some...

    Maximum DHCP Lease Time?

    I have been having a problem with wireless home automation devices staying on the network as described here: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/threads/wifi-devices-frequently-dropped-from-lan.30568/#post-245463 The wifi MAC addresses are pinned / reserved to LAN IP addresses, but as I...

    Asus wired only thoughts & twist

    It sounds like you are well aware of your options, however, without a scale floor-by-floor map-plan of radio placement, it is impossible for the community to visualize and make a constructive comment. That being said, it sounds like you are highly cost sensitive, so maybe a $100 T-Mobile...

    connecting two buildings and barbeque

    My experience in a similar situation was that 5GHz between Asus Routers was that 5Ghz easily bridged between two buildings (through two walls). In all likeliness there will not be a lot of traffic on the 2.4 ISM band, however, 5Ghz normally has less traffic. Consider using Ubiquiti...

    Presence-detection with N66U / AC68U for homeautomation

    This may be useful: arp -a

    Python Considerations for the RT-AC68U

    Greetings, I am interested in periodically triggering python scripts on the router. Because this adds workload to the router, I would like to measure constrained router resources. As I understand it, the key constrained resources include: * 256MB of RAM * CPU utilization I plan to use...

    Wifi Devices frequently dropped from LAN

    I don't think so: the LAN devices are home automation devices (thermostat / garage door opener). What does it mean to have to have an 'always on port': what does that look like on a router configuration page? What's interesting is that there are 2 wireless Ubiquiti devices (2.4 and 5 GHz)...

    Wifi Devices frequently dropped from LAN

    I would like these devices to be consistently available so that commands can be sent to them. The availability is very poor (< 25% unacceptable), but was not always this way until recently

    Wifi Devices frequently dropped from LAN

    Good question: yes these devices are pinned to these LAN IP addresses and are consistently assigned the same IP address. Any suggestions to diagnose or 'reboot' DHCP from the command line are appreciated.

    @hevron: how did you attach the fan to the router?

    Transplant Router settings

    I have two RT-AC68U routers with the same firmware and CFE I am interested (but reluctant) to make a backup of router settings because I would like to swap the routers out with a minimum amount of downtime. What are the problems associated with backing-up the system settings of the first...

    Guest Network Isolation \ access

    Asus RT-AC68U: Merlin V. 378.55 : Port forwarding to an SSH server that is wifi connected to the guest network: this is because other credentialed users will remotely access the device and I prefer these users have no access other LAN devices. Isolation was tested and successful. I had the...

    SSHD configuration file location

    I am interested in SSH security configuration and would like to verify my router's settings. http://inb4.se/blog/2015/01/26/SSH-Configuration-Checklist/ The article suggests checking the configuration file: /etc/ssh/sshd_config I did see /etc/dropbear but no config file. Is there a file to...

    RT-N66U and Asus Dynamic DNS ([myHost].asuscomm.com)

    DHCP Reserve List

    Update: reboot the device and it now has the correct IP / hostname in the router Static Leases are assigned to various boxes. For some reason the "client name" is the MAC address, and not the hostname entered in the 'Manually Assigned IP around the DHCP list '. * Is there an explanation for...

    RT-AC68U wifi failure

    Interesting. One would like to think that the product designers would try to stay within the USB 2.0 spec. Plugged into the USB 3.0. I can not definitely say that this caused the problem, however, problems occurred immediately after. The fans are plugged into a laptop dock, so I am...
