    Development musings

    I haven't been around in quite a while between domestic obligations and overseas travel, so I'm sorry if this comes off as a Johnny come lately sort of post. I'm unsure if this has been suggested in one fashion or another - be it this thread or another, but here I go: This would likely be...

    DNSCrypt on Asus-Merlin Variants?

    Indeed, I can empathize with that. I'll have some time at home now to try and nail down where and why the breakage happens. Your comments on the timing of things is well received. A good deal of my efforts the last couple of months has been figuring out when to run this and when to run that...

    DNSCrypt on Asus-Merlin Variants?

    I am a citizen of and reside within the United States. Verizon is my ISP (FiOS). I trust neither my government nor my ISP and in fact I view both of them having antipathy for their citizenry and customers respectively. While I don't think I have anything hide (who knows what is considered...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56 Beta 2 is out

    Here is my dnsmasq.conf.add: no-resolv server=127.0.0.1#60053 server=127.0.0.1#60054 And here is my wan-start: #!/bin/sh logger -t $(basename $0) "started [$$]" /bin/pidof dnscrypt-proxy > /dev/null 2>&1 || \ ( # restart NTP client to eliminate 4-5 mins delay killall ntp sleep 5...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56 Beta 2 is out

    While NTP seems to be fixed for me, the native binaries for dnscrypt seem to be ignored in a way. The log shows the usual messages about getting certificates and all that, but my resolution seems to be going to Google or Cisco regardless. On a related note, I had a hell of a time reestablishing...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56 Beta 1 is out

    Sorry about that.. I didn't notice. I'll have to wait for beta 2. It's been a number of years since I've compiled anything and I don't want to jump back into it with this particular thing.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56 Beta 1 is out

    There's definitely something going on with NTP. I'm using the dnscrypt-proxy and hostip binaries from lancethepants. I have several pool.ntp.org entries at the top of my hosts.add file, but even if I hardcode one of those IPs right in the GUI, NTP will not work when I have the following...

    Flashing routers over wifi

    I have all of my network equipment - routers, IP cams, etc. on APC UPS and when we lose power here, it's business as usual. I often travel overseas and after having no access for a week once, I got a APC SmartUPS 1000 that can take a NIC. It's an odd setup they have but you can reboot one set...

    Set the router clock with a GPS receiver for under $70

    Well I sort of fell on my face with this one. I haven't tracked down how it's doing it yet, but on boot up, the router wants time way before my phone connects via WiFi. I hardcoded the IP address of the phone into the GUI, but it's still managing to grab the time beforehand - maybe from the...

    Set the router clock with a GPS receiver for under $70

    I've been following this thread with interest even though I never really had any intention to implement a solution based on the topic. An alternative solution just hit me last week though and it seems to be working fine. I have an old Moto Razr M (XT907) that is bootloader unlocked and rooted...

    Dnscrypt from opendns

    I'm rather delinquent with posting here, but the post by ASAT, #249, is spot on. If you're running an ARM based unit, be sure to get the binaries from lancethepants. With Merlins .55 build, I have this running with great success and stability. On an AC3200 at home, and on an AC68U I brought to...

    Set the router clock with a GPS receiver for under $70

    We use a GPS where I work for our Active Directory time source. It's all enterprise level hardware, but nevertheless the same idea. In our case the main purpose is to make sure any all timestamps throughout jive with each other for legal reasons. I guess it's also just one less bit of traffic...

    Dnscrypt from opendns

    It seems some of the previous steps are either not necessary anymore or they were forgotten in the re-write? For starters, I'm not sure how to configure dual resolvers anymore, but more importantly, this doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm just not resolving anything. I just signed up with...

    Asuswrt-Merlin Feature Suggestions

    I read in another post that this isn't a priority, but DNSCrypt / DNSSEC support would be wonderful. While it's likely an ineffective countermeasure, I hate making Verizon's job of collecting any and all information about me any easier than it need be. Sent from my LG-V500 using Tapatalk

    RT-AC87U - AP mode - Quantenna weirdness

    I'm running an AC87 in AP mode and noticed the same thing. After messing around for an hour or so I was still baffled. In the end I just relented and went with a static assignment. Another annoyance... no matter what I tried, and I spent most of Sunday on this, I was completely unable to get...

    Best way to do DDNS updates when behind another (DSL) router?

    After enough screwing around, I finally just configured DynDNS updating on an old Linksys WRT610N running DD-WRT. For some reason DD-WRT is smart enough to obtain your public IP, while Asus can't seem to figure that one out. Another option would be to use an old Android phone without a...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.48 Beta 2 is out

    I can concur on the 5Ghz issue. It just seems to be an issue for the time being with our still rather new AC87 units. I'm sure it will get worked out in due time. But your larger problem sounds as though it could be heat related. My AC87's CPU was reading something like 165F :eek: I bought...

    Adaptive QOS worth using?

    I've personally never had either noticeable or good (if it was noticeable) results with QoS on consumer oriented hardware. I have similar downstream as you at 75Mbs, but my upstream is also 75Mbps (Fios) and unless your provider uses some sort of shared topology, you shouldn't be maxing out...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.48 Beta 2 is out

    I'm getting all sorts of strange messages in the system log when I run an OpenVPN server (TUN) on my AC87. With a vpn client connected, the router will eventually reboot itself after several hours. With two clients connected, the time until this reboot seems to be much less. I reconfigured...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.48 Beta 2 is out

    First, and this is probably of interest to very few, the Sonos bug Asus had introduced recently is gone. Both speakers hard wired in and no problems. I have a 2TB USB 3 drive plugged into my AC87, ext4 formatted, sharing ~15,000 FLAC for my Sonos, ~20,000 AAC files, a few hundred videos, and...
