    State of the project (August 2016)

    I bought it as well for repeater mode which is gone. I changed it into my master and have my 66u in media mode to keep the speed up with an apple router that doesn't work as well. Might have to change up the 66u

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59 is now available

    Merlin or John, I've been having an issue for the better half of this year and have been keeping my external plugged into my older router with older firmware. Do you happen to know how to fix this? I've used check disk and a few other utilities, but it seems the problem only manifests with the...

    USB Hard Drive and 87U

    Still can't figure how to resolve this issue, I can't mount the disk until I do so. I miss the old drivers. I can't update my other router because the old drivers still work.

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    I've been living off a drobo and while it has been pretty reliable and simple for me, it seems to be lacking on the power management side of things. I bought that to expand the hard drives as needed...started with 3 1TB with double redundancy and am now up to several 3TBs. The last time I...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    My drive consumes about 45w/hr (it's a multi-drive NAS). That's roughly 1KW/day and at $0.40 a KWhr, that's about $4 a day to run. This goes up 1% a month. Looking at those numbers, I may actually invest in an online service for my movies if I can stream them. In about two years, it should...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    John or Merlin, Under tools/other settings, we have the option to disable disc spin down. Currently, I have it disabled because it takes about a min to spin up my drive which I use as a server. Would it be possible to add an option to enable this only during certain times of the day, i.e...

    When you reach the end of the Internet

    I'm currently deployed and I've run into internet outage about three times so far. I just have to wait until I can get ahold of my wife and tell her to reset the power strip that powers the internet so she has internet again. This would be gold to me. Thankfully, I'm back home in two weeks!

    [Alpha][MU-MIMO] Early preview of 380.59

    Reminds me of my plane. To close one window, you have to hit the close button on the screen. To close a different window, you need to select exit from the drop down menu. To close another window, you need to right click on the menu bar and select "close process." To close the comms window...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.58 is now available

    Ditto on issues with the media bridge mode. I really like that feature as it is much faster than regular and everything works better when it works.

    [Alpha][MU-MIMO] Early preview of 380.59

    Thanks for posting this comment. I saw the 5300 loaded in the download folder, but was thinking about the same thing. Considering I'm deployed right now, I don't want to mess up the 5300 or my VPN will be down until I get back from my deployment.

    It goes to 169.so on. I first thought it was something with the apple router, and it probably is. Nothing unusual shows up in the syllogism, but I just set it to debug to see more.

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    I'm running this firmware on my RT-AC66R, the router is in media bridge mode. I have an apple router connected to the bridge and set the apple router into bridge mode as well so it simply functions as a wifi AP. I have an issue that about once a day, the apple, along with the other devices, no...

    Media Bridge setup issue-resolution (merlin and john9527)

    It has a static assigned ip from my main router, but it will not accept the ip. Even the utility will not recognize it unless I set it up with this workaround.

    Media Bridge setup issue-resolution (merlin and john9527)

    I currently have my RT-AC66R set up as a media bridge but have noticed an issue on setup, once it is set up, you cannot access the router interface any longer. This appears to be an issue with the router knowing what IP it has been assigned. Resolution: prior to setting up the router as media...

    VPN setup question

    that worked, thank you!

    VPN setup question

    I'm hoping someone could help me set this up correctly. I have already set up OpenVPN server with VPN details being general. I'm deploying so I'm trying to get this where everything works correctly, but it is not. I can log in, but the IP on my phone still shows the IP for my cell carrier...

    RT-AC5300 vs RT-AC3200

    I forgot to mention, I tested only the lower 5Ghz channels (36-48), not the upper ones off of 5G-1. If I were to guess, that channel is much lower priority for hardware design because of the weaker power it puts out. Also, I noticed that the lower bands are much more powerful than the Apple TC...

    RT-AC5300 vs RT-AC3200

    Connected my laptop to the AC66R, checked the sig str from it...swapped the antenna (noticed the massive drop with it off, then back up with the other antenna), then checked the sig again. had to use some metal to make sure I was targeting the correct antenna. Eventually I swapped them all out...

    RT-AC5300 vs RT-AC3200

    Thank you everyone for the feedback. I updated my sig to represent the current config. The ASUS design is really stable now over the initial setup. I also learned that the antennas on the RT-AC66R are much stronger than the RT-AC3200 on the 5GHz. I hung my Apple TC off the AC66R an am...
