    New RT-N66u, odd problems already

    When changing firmware versions on an Asus router, always do a factory reset or you can get strange problems. How to do a factory reset is on this page http://www.snbforums.com/threads/faq-nvram-and-factory-default-reset.22822/ However, I do NOT recommend the text based backup method mentioned...

    Netgear R7000 assigning wrong ISP ip address

    By me you mean your router is getting the IP address, not your computer right? I assume your router is set to get it's IP address automatically (DHCP assigned). If the IP address you get is not giving you Internet access, call Comcast support. You must be reaching the wrong DHCP server. If it...

    Abnormal login attempts

    Looks like the current best solution is to limit the GUI access to Specified IP addresses. I am fine with that.

    Abnormal login attempts

    I don't get that DNS message, but I think it is controlled in the file /etc/dnsmasq.conf by the variable cache-size=1500 for me on John's fork. Check your file, and see what that value is. You can change it on Merlin's or John's firmware with a dnsmasq.postconf script Yes I see them my...

    ASUS RT-N66U's 2.4GHz band is giving me extremeley low speed

    Here is a guide for wireless problems http://www.snbforums.com/threads/guide-troubleshooting-wifi-issues.12825/ I assume that you did a reset to factory defaults and re entered all you settings by hand (no restore settings from file). On your devices, you forget the network, and re-establish...

    Abnormal login attempts

    Failed. Only first few got accepted. But I could not login after. Will try again in 5 minutes. Waited over 5 minutes, but still cannot login. Get message in log file " HTTP login: login 'admin' successful from xxx" but I am not... Thinking about this, I suspect that each connection is...

    Improvement/feature request

    For request 2, if you decide to implement it, make it an option like the firewall logging, so people like me that like the idea of testing for poor passwords can still have that happen.

    Abnormal login attempts

    This happened to me too just last week. Since I am using John's fork, I also saw that it was testing a series of standard router accounts and in the same time period there were IPV6 connections attempts from outside. What I found was my virus checker had a new feature to test the "Home...

    Parental Controls

    If you are comfortable with scripts, this link gives a script that was tested to block active skype, minecraft, and video streaming. http://www.snbforums.com/threads/how-to-disconnect-local-pc-from-wifi.21342/#post-155325 It is for an older version of Merlin 374.43, but should work on the...

    Tracert = Request Timed Out

    Are you modifying the iptables on the router? The problem is a blocked/dropped ICMP error packet icmp-type time-exceeded Which is returned for every hop that responds except the last.

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

    The "annoying" message is because of browser cache. It will happen every time you reboot the router. So, just clear the browser offline cache and everything will be fine. In Firefox it is in menu "Tools>Options>Advanced>Network>Offline Web Content and user Data".

    Help With Squeezebox/Raspi on ASUS RT-AC66U Router! (I'm a desperate man)

    You said Therefore I assumed the Comcast is your ISP router and is doing NAT for the 192.168.1.x network. There I am talking about your Asus router. It's wan will be connected to the Comcast router so have an address in the 192.168.1.x range. Sorry, I made the assumption that you would...

    Guest Network and AP Mode

    Sorry, but this will not work completely. Your guests will still have access to everything on the original network. You have just restricted access to the LAN directly connected to the second router. And to avoid doing a double NAT for a router to router configuration, you will need to...

    Guest Network and AP Mode

    And the link you quote has a partial fix for AP mode restricting Guest LAN access with Merlin's firmware.

    Help With Squeezebox/Raspi on ASUS RT-AC66U Router! (I'm a desperate man)

    Since you are running two networks like so ISP router (192.168.1.x and SSID#1) --- Asus router (192.168.2.x and SSID#2) Lets make sure that the networks are connected correctly. First I should tell you that I am running John's fork update 07, so my screens may be a little different, but the...

    Why buy an N router?

    You live in an apartment so have a minimum of 8 close wireless competitors. You are single, therefore no multiple people streaming movies.

    R7000 can only connect if unencrypted connection (no WEP, no WPA)

    Here is a long shot. Check the date / time on the clients. I remember reading somewhere that there is a limit as to how much a difference the client time can be when compared with the WiFi access point's time. Other thought is check for a driver update for client.

    DHCPNAK reporting "wrong network" sometimes? What is it?

    Asked that question in posting #8/9 this thread. No open devices. Waiting to hear back if happening daily and same IPs. If nothing since first few days after upgrade, maybe old configuration was using different DHCP range.

    dnsmasq.conf.add and DNS filtering

    But remember that is not as fool proof as the parental controls ... The child can just point their machine to a different DNS server. Parental controls blocks the child from using any other DNS server.

    DHCPNAK reporting "wrong network" sometimes? What is it?

    Devices are "The MAC is iPhone MAC which is just stay at home. The same with my Note 4... all day I stay at home and system log still show wrong network with Note 4 MAC" I had dismissed the idea of a mobile data access since I would expect a cell tower would want to handle more than 254 clients...
