    Solved *SOLVED* Asus RT-AX86U Pro on latest Merlin 3004.388.4, cannot get RT-AC68U (on any firmware) to connect as a AI Mesh Node

    I'll be honest. I didn't pay close enough attention. When that screen came up in the UI I read the text part clearly and the little graphic that shows that connection was something I glazed over. If they had simply put that detail in actual text I wouldn't have missed it. I'll call that poor...

    Solved *SOLVED* Asus RT-AX86U Pro on latest Merlin 3004.388.4, cannot get RT-AC68U (on any firmware) to connect as a AI Mesh Node

    Hopefully someone else finds this one day and it helps them. I went back through the directions from Asus and watched the videos on youtube again....and then came back here and found a post where someone mentioned to do the initial setup, the Mesh Router LAN port had to be plugged into the Mesh...

    Solved *SOLVED* Asus RT-AX86U Pro on latest Merlin 3004.388.4, cannot get RT-AC68U (on any firmware) to connect as a AI Mesh Node

    Hello all, so I recently upgraded my router to the AX86U Pro. Loaded the latest Merlin firmware on it 3004.388.4 and then loaded the latest Merlin 386.12_0 on the AC68U. I have also tried loading the most recent stock firmware FW_RT_AC68U_300438651665 onto the AC router since it will just be a...

    RT-AX86U WebUI login timeouts

    I recently installed my RT-AX86U Pro and still on stock (current) firmware (waiting to see what the next Merlin firmware has for this model) and have experienced the same thing, slow or downright unresponsive web UI. Same network setup using my old RT-AC68U was super fast. Not sure what's...

    Lan notification when WAN is accessed via RDC or Cisco Any Connect VPN

    Correct. I assumed if I can use Any Connect to initiate a connection from my end they can do the same from their end. If not then forget that. I want to know anytime a connection from a certain source is connecting to any machine across my network. Maybe that's the easier way, though if...

    Lan notification when WAN is accessed via RDC or Cisco Any Connect VPN

    It's a laptop owned by another company. That's why I grant access and don't want to block its access. I reserve the right to be informed as to when and how long any outside connections to that machine are and from where they originate as long as they are doing so on my network. It seems like...

    Lan notification when WAN is accessed via RDC or Cisco Any Connect VPN

    I work from home and have an Asus (Merlin flashed) RT-AC68U router running Skynet and Diversion if any of that matters for potential implementations. My company uses various methods to remote in for maintenance and such, including RDS and Cisco Any Connect VPN client. Not sure what other...

    amtm amtm step-by-step install guide - L&LD

    I guess it gave me that impression because instead of saying "install Skynet" it said "Open Skynet" without an install option where as with Diversion it said "install Diversion". So it implied it was already installed, and when I launched it it tried to run and gave me that USB failure. I...

    amtm amtm step-by-step install guide - L&LD

    The USB device is working correctly for Diversion and other scripts so I can only assume it's working correctly at all. In the end running that code to (re)install it manually worked, thanks. Maybe Skynet should just be another option to install in amtm instead of being pre-installed. Just...

    amtm amtm step-by-step install guide - L&LD

    I followed this guide and everything worked well except Skynet. It appeared to be "pre-installed" with amtm, which is fine saved me the trouble however its broken. Times out after trying to find the USB device 10 times and says "problem with USB install location". I didn't install it so I...

    RT-AC68U running Merlin, how to monitor traffic with Wireshark?

    Yeah. It would eliminate the need to set up Wireshark on the other client and then have to remote into it to use the interface. Simpler setup. I understand this router can't do that. Thanks.

    RT-AC68U running Merlin, how to monitor traffic with Wireshark?

    I did exactly what I was trying to do using the method I described above in the last paragraph. Just so you know. It took the router out of the equation but it definately worked.

    RT-AC68U running Merlin, how to monitor traffic with Wireshark?

    Well I'm not sure that's an appropriate question to ask. I want to monitor the packet data to determine who that client is communicating with, what the ip's are and what protocol and port number it is using so that I can optimize my network to either deny or allow that traffic based on my...

    RT-AC68U running Merlin, how to monitor traffic with Wireshark?

    So according to this page https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Ethernet I have a GS105Ev2 on my LAN and it supports port mirroring as well. It is currently full. There is an ethernet cable from the routers switch that is feeding the switch and then 4 other devices connected to it. So I...

    RT-AC68U running Merlin, how to monitor traffic with Wireshark?

    yeah im only getting the traffic that is coming over the wireless connection. I don't have the ability to tell it to give me the traffic that is only moving across the LAN. The only LAN option is for the LAN port on the laptop doing the monitoring. I want to get the LAN and WAN traffic going...

    RT-AC68U running Merlin, how to monitor traffic with Wireshark?

    I have installed Wireshark on my wifi connected laptop and followed Merlins instructions on how to enable IPTraffic and set it up to write to jffs partition on the attached USB stick. But how do I tell Wireshark to pull this IP data? Is this a Wireshark question or how do I know if I have my...

    Any feedback on Wireshark?

    Home network monitoring software

    Can anyone recommend software (free preferred) I can install/run on my Win 10 laptop that will give me more detailed traffic monitoring than what I get just using the Asus router interface? Like I'd like to see, in real time, packet loss/data rate, etc... of each port on the AC68U's integrated...

    RT-AC68U bandwidth limitations

    I know the 5g wireless is set to 80Mhz, I did check that. I guess I should start with a naked default configuration and a single wired device that is known to test properly sans router. I can setup a Linux environment to perform the test described. Does anyone think there is value in simply...

    RT-AC68U bandwidth limitations

    Backstory: So we have been on a 100mbps connection for some time now. Everything worked great on the network, wireless and wired all hitting the full available bandwidth. Recently our ISP upgraded everyone on this level plan to 500mbps. Great! But ever since the upgrade I have pretty much...
