    Any settings preventing fast uploads?

    RT-AC68U running Merlin 386.12_4. I upgraded my cable modem to a Hitron CODA56 as recommended by Comcast. They say my node is provisioned for next gen midsplit and this modem could get me upload speeds up to 200 Mbps. But I am still seeing the same 40 Mbps I got with my old modem. Comcast...

    Hitron CODA56 modem LAN IP address?

    I am considering updating my old cable modem to a new Hitron CODA56 to obtain better upstream speed. I cannot find out what LAN IP address the CODA56 uses. I have looked through all its documentation and it just isn't there. I'd like to know it in order to ensure it doesn't conflict with...

    Comcast wants me to upgrade

    Comcast emails me periodically that I should upgrade my cable modem for better upload speeds. They're not trying to sell me a modem, they are suggesting I buy a new one on my own. They suggest that with better upstream bandwidth I'll get better video calls and such. There are 2 of us in the...

    Solved Should I care about this log entry?

    I've been getting tons of this warning since updating to 386.12 on my aged AC68U. Should I worry about it?

    I have 3 DHCP ranges instead of 1

    I just noticed this in my syslog for the first time ever. I only set up 1 DHCP range, but the log is showing 3. I did add a new WiFi DHCP node today. The 3rd range below is my "real" one. Is this normal or did I mess something up?

    Write-error on swap-device crashed AC68U

    I got hundreds of these messages prior to a crash. I have never seen this before. Running Merlin 386.9 on my trusty old AC68U. And I do mean "old". I have been swapping to a USB stick in the router for years, and this is new. What does it mean?

    Constant DDNS refreshes

    This is new. Suddenly, my AC68U running 386.5_2 is logging constant DDNS refreshes. Like every 30 seconds. Ideas?

    Two things I can't resolve on this forum

    There are 2 things on this forum I can't figure out. How to make my signature bigger. I go to the sig editor and make the font larger, but it does not change. You can see below how tiny it is. How to prevent certain character sequences, such as colon+D from turning into smilies like :D. I see...

    New log messages since updating to 386.1_2

    I'm not using my AC68U's WiFi at all. It's just a wired router in my setup. I am seeing new messages since I updated to 386.1_2 a day or two ago. The repeated "consolidating nvram" is new as are the "can't update its ip" messages. Do I need to do anything or just ignore these?

    Minor GUI clipping when radios off

    I don't use the radios in my 68U. I use Orbis for my Wi-Fi mesh. In the main page of the Merlin GUI, the addition of the line "Your Wi-Fi radio is currently disabled" causes text below it to be obscured by GUI elements. I know this would be my SSIDs so it doesn't really matter, but there it is.

    Motorola modem certificate error

    I have always been able to log in via web to my Motorola MB8600 cable modem... until today. Now, all browsers are showing certificate errors, and not the same errors. Firefox says An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.100.1. You are attempting to import a cert with the same...

    Two-way IPS complains about iPhone

    When my friend comes to visit, my AC68U goes nuts complaining his iPhone is infected with WEB Cross-site Scripting. Many log lines say: Client Device Infected 192.168.1.119 Marks-iPhone WEB Cross-site Scripting -36 Should I be concerned? He doesn't know why his phone is generating these...

    Can I block fanhattan.com?

    I get dozens of these messages in my AC68U router log every day. I don't really understand what they mean. Is there a router setting I can apply to block this entire domain or at least these sites from screwing with my DNS? Dec 20 00:45:10 dnsmasq[206]: possible DNS-rebind attack detected...

    Possible to whitelist a site in "Malicious sites blocking"?

    I would like to block truly malicious sites. But at least one site is being blocked which I would like to see. The site is it.cwnls.com, and my US Congressman Mark deSaulnier hosts his email images there. With that site blocked, half his content can't be seen because he's kind of image-happy...

    [384.11_2] New DNS errors in log

    Since updating to 384.11, I've been seeing lots of DNS errors. I have enabled DNS-over-TLS, but don't really understand optimal setup. What happens with the other DNS server fields in the web GUI? Are they ignored? Not knowing what else to do with them, I've set them the same as my DoT servers...

    [384.11][AC68U] Save Setting opens Adobe Reader

    I Installed 384.11 today on my 68U. On the Admin page, Restore/Save/Upload tab, when I try to Save Setting, Adobe Reader opens with an error message. Reader is not set to open .CFG files in my Win7 control panel. What have I set up wrong?

    Syslog always going to JFFS now?

    I apologize if I missed the memo on this. It seems the syslog on my 68U is now living in /jffs and not in /var/log, and there is no way to change this from the GUI. I assume this is intentional so users can see prior logs which would get cleared on reboot if they lived in /var. Can we be sure...

    Constant DHCPSOLICITs in log

    I am getting DHCPSOLICITs in my log pretty much every minute all the time. What does this mean, and should I be concerned? Jun 6 22:12:37 dnsmasq-dhcp[250]: DHCPSOLICIT(br0) 00:01:00:01:c7:92:bc:e8:7c:d1:c3:29:f7:99 Jun 6 22:13:50 dnsmasq-dhcp[250]: DHCPSOLICIT(br0)...

    AiProtection: is it a subscription?

    I'm back with Merlin fw after being with John's fork for a long time, then Orbi. Demoted my Orbi to an access point and reinstalled my AC68U with latest Merlin. So I'm new to this AiProtection thing. Dumb noob question: is AiProtection a subscription you pay TrendMicro for, or is it built in to...

    Cable modem shows only 1 line of log

    I'm using a brand new Motorola MB8600 cable modem (which I bought after Comcast emailed me that my old 6121 modem was going obsolete because it didn't support DOCSIS 3.1). The MB8600 works fine. No problems at all. One day, I was looking at the modem's event log via the modem's GUI. It has...
