    Internet detected as down, but router does nothing to try and fix it?

    So I just got an alert from my monitoring that a remote site had gone offline (RT-AC5300 running 386.4 - I saw the mention of a possible fix for my issue in 386.5 Beta but doesn't seem applicable as no IPv6 enabled). I drive out there, router's Web UI says the internet is disconnected, and given...

    RAM Usage growing on 386.3_2 and CPU Core stuck at 100%

    Hi, So one of my routers I use for work, an RT-AC5300, running 386.3_2, has since I upgraded to that version exhibited 2 problems. 1. RAM grows over time. The culprit is conn_diag. I found other threads saying this process in 386.2 was creating large files, so it appears to have been tweaked...

    Push notifications?

    Following the (IMO bad) decision to remove Tapatalk - any ideas how I can get push notifications to my phone? I use Tapatalk for 2 reasons: 1. Keeps all my forums in 1 place and not filling my browser with forum tabs (don’t see a way around this other than maybe dedicating 1 browser to using...

    Error locking /var/lock/amas_entry_list.lock: 24 Too many open files

    So a couple of hours ago I noticed my internet was dropping out for a few seconds every few minutes. Looked at the logs and saw this. It was FAR more line and those, hundreds in a second or 2, then it would stop and do it again a few minutes later, which I assumed coincided with my drops. Is...

    Channel Options Now Available with Smart Connect (since 384.18)

    So I updated my router(AC86U)/nodes(AC88U, 2x AC5300U) to 384.18 this weekend and found the new GPL's this is based on now allow setting fixed channel and bandwidth even with Smart Connect enabled - HALLELUJAH! I should say I skipped 384.17 so please let me know if it was introduced then and...

    Multiple SSH Authorised Keys NVRAM Delimiter different in Merlin to Stock?

    So I've just updated my 86U to 384.13 and rebuilt my AiMesh using it as my master (previously had an RT-AC5300 running stock Asus in AP mode for AiMesh master). I noted that the nodes were no longer allowing me to log in via SSH (key auth). Upon further investigation, I noted that the 3 keys I...

    Timezone "(GMT+00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London" links to Dublin only

    I'm just noticed that when asking the router for the date it is saying 'IST' (Irish Standard Time) as the timezone, rather than 'BST' (British Summer Time). The reason is this; lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 37 Jul 5 10:39 /etc/localtime -> /rom/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Dublin In...

    SACKPanic Linux Kernel Vuneralbility

    So I'm assuming both stock and Merlin FW is susceptible to this attack, and that @RMerlin will fix it soon/first if it is? https://betanews.com/2019/06/18/linux-sack-panic/

    RT-AC88U Drops/Flakey 5Ghz when set as AiMesh Node

    Hi All, So I've been running AiMesh with a pair of AC5300 (one as AP/AiMesh Router and the other as a node) for about 3 months now, and it's great. I recently added an AC88U in as a second node, see this thread for a bit more background on why/my architecture (also see my signature for my setup...

    My new RT-AC86U and some Q's/Issues

    So I've upgraded my RT-AC88U to an 86U for a few reasons. My network architecture at the moment is; RT-AC88U(Merlin) = Main Router connected to VDSL Modem (WiFi disabled) RT-AC5300(Stock) = AP/AiMesh Router RT-AC5300(Stock) = AiMesh Node All are connected via a Powerline ethernet backbone...

    Enabling Link Aggregation via NVRAM?

    Hi, So I have a new NAS coming which will be connected to an AiMesh Node (RT-AC5300). Also directly connected to the same node are the devices most commonly using the NAS. As such, it would be nice to enable the Link Aggregation between the NAS and AiMesh Node. Problem is the AiMesh Node...

    RT-AC5300 AiMesh Node bounces clients 5Ghz-1<>5Ghz-2 constantly

    So I just got a second RT-AC5300 and set it up as a node to my parent RT-AC5300 AP. These are the only 2 AiMesh devices. Both are running the latest 3.0.0.4.384_21140-ge07a2dd I have a 3rd Asus RT-AC88U acting as the Router running Merlin 384.6 (hence not in the AiMesh) - it is ethernet to the...

    AC5300 382.1 Media Bridge - Scheduled Reboot Doesn’t Work

    Hi, So I’ve post elsewhere about a problem I’m having with periodic loss of connection to my AC5300 in Media Bridge mode, and one thing I’ve done to try and elevate that is set nightly reboots, however, they are not working!! This morning I woke to find no connectivity. Saw the associated time...

    Second Router (as range extender and backup for existing AC88U)

    So with Black Friday just around the corner I pondered getting a second Asus Router if a good deal pops up. I currently run the RT-AC88U with @RMerlin’s (wonderful) firmware. It has to reside in my office which is on one side of the house meaning 5Ghz coverage is not perfect in the kitchen on...

    Mounting corrupt USB Thumb-drive causes Kernel Panic

    So I decided to update from 380.68 to 380.68_2 - router didn't come back up. Do a power off/on - not wildly unusual to need to do this after firmware update. Notice it's booting, staying up for 30 seconds and then crashing, and loops like this forever. If I ethernet in I have just enough time...

    Router IPv6 Address Responds to ICMP on WAN - Security Risk?

    Looking for thoughts on if this is really an issue! I recently enabled IPv6 as my ISP (Sky UK) offer it. It was simple enough, simply selected Native mode and my clients got addresses and the router a global scope /56 prefix. The only thing I've found which is a bit disturbing is the router...

    Smart Connect - Need to force Control Channel

    Hi, I'm shooting myself for not checking this way back when when I started this thread https://www.snbforums.com/threads/smart-connect-rules-apply-button-not-working.34406/ But I found my issue in that thread with poor throughput on 2.4Ghz was simply solved by using Channel 1 instead of...

    Hang On Login Page (Safari macOS)

    Hi, I just updated to 380.64_2 from 380.63_2 and found that when you go to the login page it sends Safari into a loop of CPU munching. Seems to work OK on Chrome. If (big if) it manages to load it has spat a load of code out on the display per screenshot. I've done all the obvious reboots...

    Smart Connect Rules 'Apply' Button Not Working

    Hi, Recently purchased a RT-AC88U, and for the most part very impressed with it and the extensions the AsusWRT Merlin F/W brings. I've solved various setup niggles but am left with 1 outstanding which has led to me finding what I think is a bug (or 2)... The root issue is 2.4Ghz speeds are...
