    Thank you Jlake! Should I keep the 5Ghz radio on "80 MHz"?

    Advice on Tweaking 2.4 and 5Ghz radios (AC68P)

    Good Evening, I recently started to help a friend upgrade their equipment at a small coffee shop he runs. We put in the AC68P and installed the Merlin fork 374.43_2-04j9527 since several people on the forum seemed to advocate that if one desired stability above all that it was a good build to...

    Please help with JFFS

    What do you want the files you place there to do? Probably the best start is a search of the forum to see if its been done by someone else.

    Please help with JFFS

    To my knowledge JFFS is not an accessible mount via samba or FTP. You have to telnet or ssh in and use the command line to access it with Putty or use a tool like WinSCP.

    USB Drive Mounts but won't remount on reboot

    PM'd him and he said he gave up and ended up getting a 3TB NAS. I don't blame him LoL. Completely puzzling as to how it can detect it just fine when you manually insert it after a reboot but not if it stays in during a reboot and then doesn't respond to the hotplug2 command.

    AC68U , AC56U - playing blu-ray file from NAS was Freeze every 10-15Mins

    If you have your blu-ray player directly connected to one of the ethernet LAN ports and it is still freezing then i am guessing the issue might be in one of the following locations: 1.) How you set up your minidlna on the AC68U 2.) The firmware on your Blu-ray player may require an update...

    USB Drive Mounts but won't remount on reboot

    That command issues the following: :/tmp/home/root# /sbin/hotplug2 [sighandler]: No more events to be processed, quitting. [cleanup]: Waiting for children. [cleanup]: All children terminated. But the drive doesn't show up on web UI or subsequent "mount" command

    How to Check SMB path AC680 and merlin .43

    Good Evening, Is there a way I can use the router command-line via SSH to tell me the SMB share path for my USB drive attached to it? I have Samba and FTP both properly set up in the WebUI but for some reason none of the paths I have tried to connect my Sonos Client to the music folder on it...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    I was looking into turning on the minidlna server. But my parents use all apple products (they aren't tech savvy and enjoy the apple GUI). And the home sound system they are starting to build uses Sonos equipment so basically once they point Sonos to the SMB share folder that has the music it...

    USB Drive Mounts but won't remount on reboot

    Only problem with ext4 is that MACOSX doesn't support read/write by default which would make it difficult for me to maintain. There is a private software made that enables MACOSX to read/write and format ext4 but it is $40 :-/ What I don't understand is it has no problem mounting the drive if I...

    USB Drive Mounts but won't remount on reboot

    So I did a FW update and flashed to 374.42_2 and did a Factory Reset. I wanted to see what the behavior would be like on it for the mounted drives. Without having done anything except formatted the JFFS partition and did two reboots the fdisk -l command showed the same partition message...

    AC68U , AC56U - playing blu-ray file from NAS was Freeze every 10-15Mins

    Are using the wireless dongle for the pioneer or plugging directly into the router via Ethernet? The dongle supports • Standard Compliance IEEE 802.11b/g/n • Security protocols: WEP, WPA, WPA2 I would try setting your wireless on the ac680 such that the 2.4Ghz band only uses 20mhz channel...

    AC68U , AC56U - playing blu-ray file from NAS was Freeze every 10-15Mins

    Well, I am no expert since I haven't set one of these up yet but I will go off what I have read. How is your NAS set up? Do you have any other wireless devices running in your location? Finally, how are you streaming to your media player? Via the Minidlna?

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    Thanks Ford!! I think this is probably the most secure router I have ever set up lol. And I have learned a lot about security in researching the OpenVPN stuff. Now I just need to get the USB drive issue dealt with and I can ship it out to my parents. But it looks like something weird is...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    Chung, it might be better to start a new thread for that in the Asuswrt-Merlin forum. This discussion is mostly about setting up VPN, SSH, Samba, and FTP. And trying to get a USB drive to remount hehehe... I am not familiar with the Media server. But I think the people who do will also need a...

    AC680U and Merlin FW question

    I went with FAT32 since I want my MACOS to be able to read/write to it. In terms of some of the other things you mentioned.... I successfully set up on both OpenVPN servers tls-auth. They both have the same static key for tls-auth, I hope that is alright. I set up one OpenVPN server to...
