    Stale WAN lease on RT-AC86U with 384.15

    Yesterday my internet appeared to be down. I looked at the router and had an assigned WAN address of 67.4.100.253. Pings to 8.8.8.8 and to the supposed to be gateway 67.4.100.254 failed. Odd enough, the log was reporting inbound DROP frames on my address. I power cycled modem(bridge...

    Script to cd to USB directory on SSH login

    Yes, I know is just typing a command, but I rather find myself on my /mnt/usbvol/scripts than on /tmp/home/root. I know there is a chance the drive may not be not mounted, but that should be easy to handled, or worst case let the cd fail... Does anyone have a script for this? Any ideas?

    Are customized client settings stored with save configuration ?

    I am talking about the changed client names and icons in network map, and manually assigned IP adresses in DHCP . Are they saved and restored ? If not, is there a scripting alternative? Specially for the names and IP reservations.

    RT-N66U upgrade path from old 374.40

    I have this router at a very old level. What is the upgrade path to current levels ? I have gone through 300 pages of this forum and tend to believe that it probably needs multiple firmware upgrade steps, but I am not sure what they are or if the intermediate firmware downloads are available.
