    AX86U Pro as NAS

    I can't speak to the experiences of others, but I've been using both the Samba and media server functionality for years without issue. I've never seen a RAM spike or high CPU usage. RAM usage is about 40% and stable. CPU usage only runs high when the media server is indexing after a reboot...

    ASUS RT-AX86U Network Share Problem

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I gave this a try. Samba threw a warning in the log that the command was in the wrong section of the .conf file. I used this .postconf script that cleared the warning and put the command in the [global] section where it wanted it: #!/bin/sh CONFIG=$1 if...

    Wireguard Wireguard: No access to LAN on Windows 11 Client

    I'm running the Wireguard VPN server on an RT-AX86U. I use 3 clients: 1 android, 1 Win 10 and 1 Win 11 client. Config files are identical except for the address and keys. I can access my LAN devices and Samba shares without issue on the android and the Win 10 clients. I cannot access...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    Just brainstorming....things that I would do to further diagnose: - is your media server visible to Windows (explorer network page) as a media device? - if you activate your Windows Media Server on your PC, do your Roku clients see it? - is the miniDLNA process running on your router ("top n 1"...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    Google "ssh to asus router" for instructions on how to access router files. This video: is a good reference also. Note that, once you log on, commands are Linux commands... forward slash vs. backslash, cp to copy, ls to list files, rm to delete a file, etc. You log in using the same...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    An additional test that can be run is to turn off and on the media server via the GUI without rebooting the router (be sure "rebuild database at start" set to "yes"). As both devices remain mounted through that step, that would either suggest or eliminate any sequential mounting effect on the...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    If you find that it's an indexing issue, one of the problems that arises when media files are spread across multiple physical devices is that miniDLNA restarts every time a device is mounted, and the indexing process gets interrupted. This comes into play when the router is started or rebooted...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    I would first look to see if your media files are being scanned and indexed correctly. In the minidlna.conf file (located in /etc), you should find a line "db_dir=". That will point to where miniDLNA is building its sql database (files.db). That file can be copied to another location and...

    Solved: RT-AX86U Required /jffs Restore

    I should think about that, thanks. I copy log files to the USB every 12 hours and I create a .tar file of /jffs /etc and nvram once a week. I had thought that was enough, but I may have just learned that it's not.

    Solved: RT-AX86U Required /jffs Restore

    First thing this morning, I noted that my phone was not connected to my network. Android threw a "unexpected security handshake error" or something similar, and suggested a router reboot. I attempted to connect via PC/ethernet without success...connection refused. I rebooted twice before I...

    AX56U traffic log questions.

    I use the standard process to save the traffic monitor file to USB every hour. I prefer to keep the daily traffic data for the long term, though, so I run a "copy_logs" script every morning as a scheduled cron job. It performs a number of housekeeping functions, including archiving the system...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    I'm running a media server on RT-AC68U with 386.14 - no issues. If I recall correctly, the 386 branch is still on version 1.2 of minidlna, which has been unchanged for some time. As others have said, suggest removing minidlna.postconf temporarily and see if it builds a db based only on the...

    Help! Unable to get Asus RT-AX86U Working

    Double-check your PC's ethernet adapter settings to confirm your ipv4 protocol is not set to anything other than to obtain an IP and DNS server address automatically. Then check details... IP should be 192.168.50.xxx If it's anything else, reboot the PC. Is the ethernet port on the pc...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    Noted on RT-AC68U: The startup sysdate (before time is updated from the internet) has changed from 5/4/18 to 12/31/23 (technically 1/1/24 00:00 GMT). If you have any scripts that loop pending the setting of the date and time, check your logic. source: 388.8: #define RC_BUILDTIME...

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    No, 94% available. /dev/mtdblock9 48128 2792 45336 6% /jffs Since it's happened a few times, now, I'm going to have to keep a close eye on it and see if I can determine what triggers it. In troubleshooting, I've tried deactivating and reactivating OpenVPN, and the...

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Just completed a second reboot and passwords survived this time. Can't explain it. Passwords were there yesterday, gone after one reboot this morning, but present after a second one. Going to have to research further to replicate the issue.

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Current release (3004.388.8) on RT-AX86U. I've seen the passwords disappear 3-4x, but didn't associate it with a reboot until today, so the problem has probably existed for a few releases.

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    I'm experiencing this same issue... OpenVPN passwords other than the admin account are lost on reboot. Curious if anyone has developed a scripted solution to his issue.

    Flash Drive was getting pretty hot

    If plugged in directly, they do get noticeably hot. I use extender cables. The vast majority of the heat seems to be conducted in from the router and not generated in the flash drive.

    Need help setting up DLNA server

    You're going to have to have a directory structure that you can set up in the GUI, and that can only be a USB. You may be able to go around the GUI and define something independently, but that's territory I haven't explored. I trigger my setup script in service-event-end and I look for $1 to...
