    Suricata 4 on Asuswrt-Merlin

    This might probably become a problem, the day I'll eventually get a decent WAN connection myself too :) At the moment I've to be happy with my recent update from 7mbps to 20mbps. Now, looking at resources consumption, I've been able to observe that under heavy bandwidth usage (well, heavy ... )...

    Suricata 4 on Asuswrt-Merlin

    Another one interested here. About this issue, the good news is that running suricata with the suggested option in the incident above, it says that: /tmp/mnt/TRANSCEND/entware/etc/suricata/rules# suricata -c /opt/etc/suricata/suricata.yaml -i eth0 --set capture.disable-offloading=false...

    Old discussion: does lowering TX power using 384 code base work ?

    Just to update: monitoring the wireless signals with the native MacOS Wireless Diagnostic Tools, it looks like nothing has changed, i.e.: nothing changes whatever use I make of the "Tx power adjustment" slider in Advanced Settings --> Wireless --> Professional. Don't know how reliable these...

    Old discussion: does lowering TX power using 384 code base work ?

    Thanks both, I take this gets mutiplicated in complexity with 8 antennas in the AC5300. I'll take the hint to try measuring the output at a client station, if that's possible running Windows on a VM with Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector or similar. The (in)ability to tune the tx power is about the only...

    Old discussion: does lowering TX power using 384 code base work ?

    Forgot to say, I'm now having the chance to get also an AC3200 for cover another floor, but only if I can tune done the power. That's why I'm also interested. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

    Old discussion: does lowering TX power using 384 code base work ?

    Indeed, I'm talking of an RT-AC5300 in Italy. I've saw it has the slider, but don't know if it has become effective since my old times with my previous AC68U and AC87U. As for less power, I need a very small one indeed. Currently I'm fine with a ZyXEL NWA-AC1123 at 12.5% of its full power...

    Old discussion: does lowering TX power using 384 code base work ?

    I know this has been asked many times in the past when the slider had actually no effect. Has this changed with the recent update to 384 ? Just to be clear, I'm not interesting in increasing the power, rather the opposite. Peppe

    Can't disable VPN client

    You got it right Skirk, thanks a lot. I had a manual Adaptive QoS set, and disabling it solved the problem. Even re-enabling it with automatic settings is fine, and there's a good reason for this all. I would in the end say that QoS was doing its job, since it was a very old setting when the...

    Can't disable VPN client

    That's how I became aware of the problem. I was transferring a few regular >1GB files and it was taking forever. Now I use iperf with a 20 seconds transfer window and it's being steady in its either dismaying or full expected performance (reset vs old usual configuration). I could start over...

    Can't disable VPN client

    And that was it Eric, thanks a lot. Unfortunately, though, VPN seems not to be the problem.It's astonishing that with a factory reset I get a full 11,2MB/sec iperf speed (one of the 2 NICs I'm using is a 10/100), while at the moment, with my usual settings, all of a sudden after a few seconds...

    Can't disable VPN client

    Hi, I'm running 380.58. Today I was trying a sustained file transfer from the WAN side to the LAN side of my AC68U, and I noticed that the speed was extremely poor (well below 1MB/sec). After ruling out anything else with a few tests, I found out it's the router itself. And indeed it's the...

    Is there any way to customise the behaviour of the WiFi On/Off button ?

    Thanks for shedding light on this though, Eric.

    Is there any way to customise the behaviour of the WiFi On/Off button ?

    I mean something simple, like turning on only one of the two bands instead of both. But perhaps achieving this (if ever possible) would also equal to allowing some more flexible action (scripting ?). If relevant, my device is an RT-AC68U.

    About disabling NAT: can still it work as a router ?

    The Watchguard (XTM 2 series) has its own internal switch similarly to the Asus, though it allows considerably higher configurability. Each port is configurable as LAN/WAN, as belonging to a security zone, as part of an aggregated bridge of ports, etc ... The Asus is connected to one of these...

    About disabling NAT: can still it work as a router ?

    That was it, Colin ! As simple as it appears now, there was no routing back for the traffic sources behind the Asus. It was enough to add a static route on the Watchguard to make it work, with everything on (firewall, vpn, transmission, etc). Thanks a lot for your attention and help !

    What features/functions are lost when converting to "AP mode" ?

    Indeed, but it doesn't work. The problem in doing so it's not that the annexed services don't work, they actually do. I can even reach my work server via the VPN from a PC wired to the Asus' switch. The WAN side of the Asus if perfectly connected to the public internet (I can make test ping...

    About disabling NAT: can still it work as a router ?

    Thanks for your points charlie2alpha. Putting the device in AP Mode makes many of the secondary services you mention disappear as they are bound the the presence of the WAN interface. Why do you suggest I don't need routing ? If I want all the Asus' clients' traffic pass through the WAN...

    About disabling NAT: can still it work as a router ?

    Hi, My Asus RT-AC68U is currently the first point of connection for several of my machines. It has some services running on his own also (openvpn client and server, samba server, media server, etc). As part of experimentation, it's usually behind some pure firewall (Watchguard, ZyWALL, etc)...

    What features/functions are lost when converting to "AP mode" ?

    Hi Colin, thanks for your suggestions. They indeed work, as far as having the Asus' switch directly connected to one of the main firewall's LAN. Yet, if I correctly understands, this is done at the expense of disconnecting the Asus' WAN interface (with all annexed services). I think my question...

    What features/functions are lost when converting to "AP mode" ?

    HI Colin, thanks for the suggestion. I'm looking for it with no luck so far, could you please point something out for my reading ?
