    AC68U Frequently dying on me

    1) Are you suggesting I go to to 380.57? I generally try to avoid development code in favor of stability. Course that's the problem I'm trying to solve. 2) Doesn't seem like a debug log would fill up and overflow in the course of less than two days

    AC68U Frequently dying on me

    Q1) No - not part of any instructions I saw. Have never done that in the past - don't know how to do it. Q2) Heat not an issue - Router has plenty of air circulation and house is quite cool this time of year. Q3) Don't know. Have not tried. Maybe next step as I did not have problem on 374.43...

    Yes, I did. This has been very frustrating.

    AC68U Frequently dying on me

    I have an AC68U. Until about two weeks ago, I was using the 374.43 fork (and it's predecessors). Very stable. I then switched to Merlins 378.56_2 build. To get there, I had to first install an stock ASUS build and then update to Merlin. Since then, the router has basically died on me about...

    Updating to latest Merlin Build for RT-AC68U

    Thanks all. The only thing I tried & what worked for me, was what L&LD suggested - applied ASIS build 376.3626 (to get the new boot loader I suppose) and then reset the box and then actually let the ASUS software upgrade me to their latest & greatest & then I applied the latest Merlin build...

    Updating to latest Merlin Build for RT-AC68U

    I have been on the alternate fork for Merlin for over a year now, primarily so I could preserve the TX power settings that went away some time ago. Now that I have an Amped Range Extender, making the need for that notably less, decided to go back do Merlin's latest build. I download the build...

    Do I understand this correctly?

    I have the AC68U router. I had earlier gone with the newer builds and had observed distance issue in the family room & kitchen. I subsequently installed the fork and again set the Tx power to 100 and found the distance issue was mitigated. At the same time, there are some features in the newer...

    Do I understand this correctly?

    In 06/14, Merlin introduced the 374.43_2 build. Subsequent builds from Merlin introduced potential distance issues for users due to new restrictions in firmware related to power output of the router. As a response to this, a fork from 37.43_2 was introduced in 09/14 that while not...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.44 is out

    Just upgraded from 376.43 to .44. Rebooted the router at the completion of the update. Generally, all seems to be OK (preliminary check), but from my desktop PC with the wired connection, while I can connect to the web, I get this screen when trying to connect to the router UI, even after a...

    Tried JUMBO Frames still getting slow LAN

    I perform basic LAN performance tests often at work for some of networked environment. A single high end Dell servers over GE going our high end NAS device will rarely achieve GE speeds (128 MBs). * Network overhead itself will remove up to 10% * Many file copy utilities are single threaded...

    Maximising Wireless Signal

    I thought in previous postings as well as in documentation, it was recommended to leave atennas in W pattern.

    USB Drive connect issue.

    ok - what didn't work: * reconnecting usb drive (pull usb cable - reinsert) * restart ac68u What did work: Power off usb drive while connected. Power back on.

    USB Drive connect issue.

    Tried that - still doesn't see drive. Possibly interrelated - there were some file beginning with "." (hidden files I suppose) that seemed to be metadata generated about the folder structure. I deleted those files - which should make Asus just think this is a USB drive it never saw before.

    USB Drive connect issue.

    I have a Seagate Freeagent 1.5 TB USB2 drive. It has been connected quite successfully to the ASUS router (both Merlin and stock firmware). I got tired of seeing 20+ share points (all my directories directly off of root), so I took the drive and attached it directly to my PC, Created a top...

    AC68U QOS

    If you are streaming from Netflix via the Netflix Smart Hub app on Samsung TV, there seem to be lots of reports of audio stuttering (video is fine). I experience it all the time. My solution for Netflix was to use Netflix app on my Sony BD.

    ASUS RT-AC68U Port Forwarding

    Check your firewall settings. Windows has different firewall settings for public and private and work networks. Public networks tend to be very restrictive. Private networks are generally what you want for a home environment. If you goto Network & Sharing Center, you will see what sort of...

    RT-AC68U Dual wan question

    Wouldn't be load balancing (nor failover), but if you setup the routing table appropriately, you could direct traffic to specific destinations over specific links, if that would work for you.

    Cannot access web admin gui on AC68U

    I have had this problem twice now on upgrades. Disconnecting from wifi (or disabling then re-enabling the ethernet port) resolved it for me.

    Curious - Amusing Result

    Decided to test performance in moving files from my desktop to my laptop - both are hooked up via hardwire connections. So, in preparation, brought up the GUI and went to Traffic Manager/Traffic Monitor and clicked on the wired interface. I then started the file copy operation. The traffic...

    Guest Network

    I have just switched to the Merline 374.42 code from stock ASUS (5656) on my AC-68U. Two interesting observations: 1) I have two USB2 devices hooked up to the router. Both connected without issue previously. After installing Merlin, the device that was connected to the USB3 port was not...
