    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    The issue here went away after I made that change. All good now.

    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    Some of the 2.4GHz IoT clients here have coloured LED indicators for status. Every now and then I notice some of them blinking the "no WiFi connection" indication. So here at least, it's not a 2.4 <--> 5GHz issue, but rather just something on 2.4GHz periodically causes them to lose...

    Automatically rest ethX port to regain 1GB speed

    I have this script on my router to solve a similar issue with the 1Gig ethernet connection to my cable modem. It gets invoked by another script that calls it in a loop every 15 seconds. The other script is started by a line in jffs/scripts/firewall-start: #!/bin/sh ## Keep the Modem...

    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    I get this on my RT-AX86U router. So the upgrade may have nothing to do with it.

    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    I guess the thing to capture, would be the iptables configuration when working, and again when not working. It's pretty likely to be in there somewhere, or maybe in the bridging tables. iptables -L -n -v brctl showmacs br0

    2.4ghz and 5ghz clients cant communicate with each other

    This issue would explain a problem I have been seeing randomly, where my smartphone sometimes cannot see/control all of the "smart plugs" on the 2.4GHz side. Mmm. EDIT: Yes, this would explain the irregular behaviour. Switching wifi (both bands) off then on again temporarily "fixes" things...

    RT-AX89X suddenly started using a lot more CPU and memory leak leads to lockup every ~10mins

    That's not going to happen, unless ASUS has other built-in malware that also enables remote management for everyone else.

    RT-AX89X suddenly started using a lot more CPU and memory leak leads to lockup every ~10mins

    Completely disabled asd on my router here now. No such issues in the future now.

    Which NVRAM Key Controls RT-AX86U 2.5G Port Assignment to WAN or LAN?

    On my RT-AX86U, eth5 appears to be the 2.5gbs port, and eth0 is the usual 1gbs WAN port. So.. nvram show | grep eth5 ## shows NVRAM variables referencing eth5 nvram show | grep eth0 ## shows NVRAM variables referencing eth0 If I were to switch to using the 2.5gbs port for the WAN, I...

    How to restart WAN connection?

    Edited my original post above, with new/improved version of the script. This one doesn't hit google nearly as often as the earlier script.

    How to restart WAN connection?

    That is similar to what happens here. Every now and then, the cable network has some kind of "event", but the modem stays "up" and my router thinks it is all still connected. The only way to recover is to power cycle the modem, or restart the WAN on the router. So that's what my script does...

    Seems to work. Thanks!

    Add port to RT-N66U with USB ethernet

    Any changes made to nvram variables will be written back to nvram when "nvram commit" is issued. Until then, they are just cached in RAM.

    How to restart WAN connection?

    What script commands are available to stop and restart the WAN connection?

    Add port to RT-N66U with USB ethernet

    It sounds like an iptables rule may be needed or something. Try looking at the existing rules and see if anything there stands out. EDIT: had a look at my RT-AX86U, and nothing stood out there. But in nvram there are several rules that list ethernet ports. So perhaps try there instead...

    Asus AX86u turn off auto negotiation

    Yes. You have to arrange for the script to be run periodically, rather than just once at start-up. :) Or, put a loop in it and allow it to keep running. So, do what you have already done, but replace the script with this version: #!/bin/sh ## Keep the Modem connection at full GigE speed. ##...

    Asus AX86u turn off auto negotiation

    The connection has a brief pause while the ethernet goes down and back up again (fairly quickly), but doesn't "drop" because the modem (and Merlin) maintains its connection throughout.

    Asus AX86u turn off auto negotiation

    The same bug happens on my AX86U from time to time. So I put this script onto jffs and arranged for it to be invoked periodically. It detects the wrong speed and sets it back again. AFAIK, auto-neg must remain enabled for 1000 to work. #!/bin/sh ## Keep the Modem connection at full GigE...

    Is a USB swap file always recommended for merlin?

    I'm a Linux kernel dev. I haven't used swapfiles or swap partitions on anything since the year 2004 or so, except as a target for "suspend-to-disk". Outdated concept IMHO.
