    ASUS WRT - how to properly restart the web/httpd admin UI (GT-AC5300 Router)?

    Had the opportunity to test the GT-AC5300 "web UI hang" (where the web UI won't load after auth) on a factory new GT-AC5300. Note that I'm using the GT-AC5300 as the primary Wifi Router, with 5 AiMesh nodes (4 68U's and 1 86U), in ethernet backhaul mode. I do have about 2 dozen manual IP...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-1 public beta

    I've installed 9.0.0.4.386_55919-g4b63ee0 on all of my 68U AiMesh nodes (4 of them) as well as on one 86U AiMesh node, all seems fine. Can't really test out the new features on the AiMesh nodes since they're not used as primary routers. Will await a RC beta for the GT-AC5300 (main router) and...

    ASUS WRT - how to properly restart the web/httpd admin UI (GT-AC5300 Router)?

    Would anyone be able to provide details on how to properly restart the web admin UI on the ASUS GT-AC5300 (or any of the ASUS routers running stock firmware)? I'm running on the latest 3.0.0.4.386_42643-g16dc577 firmware, but I randomly run into an issue where login to the web admin UI...

    RT-AC86U new firmware 3.0.0.4.386_44470-g53bccb8

    I took the gamble (I use the 86U as an AiMesh node), dirty flashed, rebooted, no hard reset, seems to be working properly so far.

    Release Firmware release - ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Version 3.0.0.4.386.42643

    I can confirm that having an active VPN connection seems to be an issue if the router is rebooted or powered off/on while having an active VPN connection. I use Cisco AnyConnect at home...if the router has a VPN connection established and it's power cycled or rebooted, the web UI hangs up/goes...

    Does AiProtection really work?

    In my opinion AiProtection (TrendMicro) works, but keep in mind it's consumer-grade protection, not something you'd use at the enterprise level (such as FortiGuard, for example, which will run you at least $200 annually for a subscription). Because I use port forwarding (for a small webserver...

    Release Firmware release - ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Version 3.0.0.4.386.42643

    Did you factory reset after installing the latest firmware, and re-configure your settings manually?

    Release RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.43129

    No issues with the 68U upgrade to 43129 via GUI...upgraded all 4 of my 68U AiMesh nodes from the GUI in the same manner. Had to manually update since they were on the beta release.

    Release Firmware release - ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Version 3.0.0.4.386.42643

    Btw if you're looking for a decent ad blocklist for Pi-hole, this is one of the best (in my opinion). Low false positive rate and well-maintained. It's the only one I use, their DB has just over a million DNS's on the block list. It's updated daily. https://dbl.oisd.nl

    Release Firmware release - ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Version 3.0.0.4.386.42643

    It's probably uncommon for anyone to have 2 DNS servers on a private home network, so ASUS only bothered to allow one via DHCP. It's easy enough to assign DNS statically within Windows, Android, iOS/Mac OSX, etc. Most operating systems allow 2 DNS server entries, one for primary and one for...

    Release Firmware release - ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Version 3.0.0.4.386.42643

    Never point WAN DNS in your GT-AC5300 WAN configuration to your own local Pi-hole/Unbound DNS servers. Functions such as time zone, etc. will not work within the router, and you'll run into other issues as well. WAN DNS in your router needs to point to something upstream for DNS such as Google...

    Release Firmware release - ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Version 3.0.0.4.386.42643

    Dirty flashed 42643 over 41994 (beta), did not factory reset. So far Seems identical to the 41994 beta release. Only issue (which has been a problem since the initial release of 386 for this router) is that the web UI will hang sometimes after a reboot when AiMesh nodes are powered on and part...

    Release New AC86U firmware 3.0.0.4.386_42643

    Flashed to 42643 from beta 9.0.0.4.386.41994. CPU_WAIT was enabled after a "dirty flash", so I didn't run a factory reset. I did run a factory reset when I installed 9.0.0.4.386.41994 however because CPU_WAIT was disabled. 86U seems to run fine (AiMesh node).

    Beta Beta Firmware ASUS RT-AC86U - Version 9.0.0.4.386.41994

    Are you using the router to supply DNS to clients, or are you using a dedicated internal DNS resolver/forwarder? For my own home network, I'm using an unbound/Pi-hole internal DNS, and have my AP router pointed to Cloudflared for upstream DNS, as I know the firmware relies on external DNS for...

    AiMesh Node going OFFLINE after a few weeks

    I read through this whole thread tonight only because I've seen this "zombie/offline" AiMesh node problem (on 68U and 86U nodes) in a few cases...all cases were wired ethernet backhaul. First case...86U AP router and 68U ethernet AiMesh node. 68U would go "offline" after an arbitrary amount of...
