    DDNS no-ip.com won't update

    For some reason (to persuade free users to use a paid service?), the user is sent a message monthly and expected to manually confirm that the URL is to continue service. If not, then the hostname is deleted. If you login to your account, can you verify that the target hostname has not been...

    Port forwarding troubleshooting

    Excellent question: When testing, I use an explicit IP address and check the IP address with www.whatismyip.com to verify that I am using the correct IP address. I had been testing it from the LAN, but a test from a remote WWAN box confirmed that SSH traffic is properly forwarded. Why is SSH...

    RT-AC68U USB drive capability

    @joegreat: Thanks for sharing: can I assume the the WD Elements 1048 drive does not have an external power supply and is powered by the USB port? I should have stated in the OP that I am interested in a WD drive (non flash) that does not use an external power source.

    RT-AC68U USB drive capability

    It has been my experience that most routers support USB flash drives in that they source enough current. That being said, has anyone successfully connected a Western Digital USB drive to an RT-AC68U? Please post any details such as the drive model and the router model if it is not an RT-AC68U...

    Port forwarding troubleshooting

    RT-AC68U with Merlin 378.55: I am unable to access devices from the WAN, that I was able to access two weeks ago. There are three devices, which are pinned so that a unique WAN port can be forwarded to the device. WAN = > Portforwarding => Enable Port Forwarding=Yes Questions: 1) Is there...

    VOIP Newbie Question

    @Shelbrain: I would be interested in which approach do you take to addressing communication within the home: * PA broadcast system to blanket the house \ subsection? OR * LAN communication server (Asterisk or similar) OR * WAN communications server (Callcentric.com or Similar) BTW, BestBuy...

    Electronic Token (changing) Password

    I am wondering if anyone has successfully added electronic token (like RSA SecurID) to control access to the router's SSH. As I understand it, a 12 character password should be used. If the password was persistently changing, a changing password thwarts a replay attack. If you have...

    RT-N66-R Wireless Signal significantly less then Wired

    How is the speed test performed? speedtest.net? Why do you think that that your RF environment supports speeds closer to the theoretical maximum?

    External USB disk status: Errors

    Not sure what triggered this message to require moderator approval, but anyhow... The 'rescan' procedure removed the error passage. @kvic: Thank you For giggles, I tried this after the rescan (should have tried this before the rescan): ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4 Fri Jul 17 03:17:04...

    I can't decide which router to get.

    The AC68U is an excellent choice, despite the cost. Remember: every network device will use the router, so make sure that you understand the sacrifice of using a lesser model. I have several AC68U (four in total) in my custody and they are excellent devices. I realize that gear in the UK is...

    External USB disk status: Errors

    Errors below were observed, yet I was able to list files in the directory. The USB device is a Sandisk Cruzer flashdrive. Errors have been detected on your hard drive. Remove any damaged files or use a PC to correct system issues. /dev/sda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. 3941...

    Options to limiting network access

    As I understand it, wifi access can be gated with a wireless MAC filter. I would like this to apply to not only wifi clients but wired clients as well. What options are available?

    VOIP Newbie Question

    If your goal is to have fixed handset in various rooms, you could use a Linksys SPA1001 at each room extension. This would require power, wired network access and a telephone for each extension. Extensions must be tied together via Asterisk, which could be run on a router or raspberry pi...

    Testing adblock install

    @thelonelycoder : Thanks for commenting and providing the excellent diagnostic example. I'm sure that other students will benefit from this. I have found that when testing does not go as expected rebooting the router can (sometimes) save a lot of time and advance to the finish line. Recent...

    Testing adblock install

    I am interested in tests that can diagnose the 'advance method' adblock procedure: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/adblocking-with-combined-hosts-file.15309/ Per the procedure, these files were installed: root@ROUTER:/tmp/home/root# ls -l /jffs/scripts/services-start -rwxr-xr-x 1 root...
