    kernel: Dead loop on virtual device vlan100, fix it urgently!

    Hi all, I have the same exact hw/fw as OP (AC88U running 386.3_2). Recently, I have been getting this error frequently, but on vlan2. kernel: Dead loop on virtual device vlan2, fix it urgently! Needless to say, internet disconnects whenever this error pops up. It will come back on its own...

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Yup, it was really strange. At first, I was thinking there must be something unique in my setup, since nobody else seemed to have this issue. Digging deeper though, it all boiled down to this (IP traffic monitoring). After this difficult experience, I scaled down on many things. From a month...

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Hi! I methodically did everything again, from a cleared NVRAM/JFFS starting point, and it seems the problem is, quite strangely, with Traffic Monitong (Tools -> Other). Enabling IPTraffic (per IP monitoring) regardless of file location (RAM or external USB) will slow down upload to ~1Mbps on...

    DHCP Limit Help / dnsmasq

    Thanks for this info. I'll do it like this in my static list.

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Thank you. I'll do it as you suggest when I try this again. Can't do it now (it's Monday tomorrow), Friday night or Saturday morning is possible. Will report back then. Do you think we might have hit the problem somewhere in the things I did above, but it just didn't fix the issue since some...

    DHCP Limit Help / dnsmasq

    If you have amtm/entware running, you can also try installing the YazDHCP addon. On my AC88U at least, the static assignment has been increased from 64 (default) to 162 (dunno how/where this limit is set). It also lets you import/export CSV lists, very convenient if you've got a lot of static...

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Here's tc qdisc pre-test (before the test stuff above) and post-test (this is after all tests have just been done, just prior to revert part). I'm also pasting ifconfig -a in case... Many thanks. tcqdisc_pretest https://pastebin.com/PvFsP9Wp tcqdisc_posttest https://pastebin.com/g11y6wnr...

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    And so I turned my live home network into a testbed lol... Please find the test as outlined below. Please let me know if anything was missed or is unclear. I thank you all in advance for taking a look at this, it's a lot of steps and logs. My family here have been grumbling the whole past hour...

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Hi! Yeah, I guess it's HW dependent. I have a Tenda running FreshTomato on another network and I think it uses vlan2 as primary wan interface. Cheers!

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    No worries bro... Yep, I remember I did that, but that was ages ago. Right from the start, I was always suspecting that this was a QoS thing, and so anything QoS-related should be disabled.

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Aha! No sir, I never disabled them in any of the tests, except for that time when I'm still slowly building the config, just after loading the new FW. and haven't started installing the addons yet. I don't remember saying that I disabled the addons when I did the tests, but if so, then I'm...

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Hi! Thanks for checking this out. I used to get the full 100 upload speed in 384.19. But after trying 386.1 and 386.2_4, even after clean installs, I can barely get past 1Mbps, but only on wired connections. I have 2 guest network pairs active (i.e., 2 pairs of 2.4 and 5GHz SSIDs, and thus only...

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    I followed as you suggested. Still looks the same... I'll probably start this all over just one more time and see if I get lucky. If not, then I'll just go back to trusty-old 384.19 but this time I'll do a factory install instead of a restore. That way I have a clean system again which should...

    some lan clients are on different subnets (386.2_4) (SOLVED)

    Wow this is certainly good news! Tbh, I've been waiting for this to happen for the longest time. It's like Christmas came early this time. Cheers! PS. Now, if it would just be possible to map/combine/tag the VLANs to physical ports it would be perfect.

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Whoa that was quick! Yes sir, I will do as you suggest and update you tomorrow morning. I remember when I first tried loading an earlier 386.1, I did a "dirty" flash. And so when this slow upload came up, I thought, well, maybe I just need to start clean this time. But after the nuke reset and...

    some lan clients are on different subnets (386.2_4) (SOLVED)

    Oh wow, so that's why, that should explain it. Thanks so much. As a side note though, while there's good reasons to do this, it has no benefit for us with multi-AP setups. This is actually the reason I never used YazFI. Since the FW doesn't support VLANs, the subnetting that's built-in only...

    slow upload on 386.2_4 (Asus RT-AC88U)

    Whoa my bad. Didn't see that the logs were blocked here. Anyhow, it's here... https://pastebin.com/3nAcbiAu You'll see the 2 reboots in the latter parts of the file. I didn't remove the lines prior to the 1st reboot just in case you need something there. I turned off the radios as you...

    some lan clients are on different subnets (386.2_4) (SOLVED)

    Hi! Thanks for the reply... Not really, at least not in this case. It's possible, but in Merlin, the only way I know is via this addon called "Yazfi". There, you can also specify DCHP pool size/range, customize DNS, and route all clients to a VPN client. But right now I got nothing specified...
