    RT-AC68P & FiOS: WAN dropouts on 386.x

    The vlan 56-62 entries make no sense. They’re bridging LAN directly to WAN in like 3 places. factory reset time. Do not restore a backup.

    RT-AC68P & FiOS: WAN dropouts on 386.x

    Those VLANs looks very different than my AC66_B1. I didn’t think ports 7 and 8 were even connected in these models, but it seems to be using them for something. Does your ISP have IPTV requirements, and did you change the IPTV settings? If so, and you can’t get a WAN IP, you probably don’t have...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_6 is now available

    I have an AC66_B1 (AC68). The AC86 might be different. My GN2/GN3 acts just like the non-guest wifi. YazFi does isolate better, you can set rules for each guest network. But you have learned one very important thing about VPN: VPNs are not always considered LAN. TAP VPNs are layer 2, and sit...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_6 is now available

    Not reported to ASUS. Not even sure how, I was gonna let Merlin do that :) Ok, so... I want to keep switch port 4 from accessing my LAN. To do this I manually create a VLAN, put switch port 4 in it, and put it on the same bridge as GN1. YazFi doesn't use a bridge to isolate the GNs, it uses...

    RT-AC68P & FiOS: WAN dropouts on 386.x

    Not sure. I was using YazFi for a while, and it does the guest networks differently. I recently stopped using YazFi for other reasons, and that's when the GN1 bug bit me.

    RT-AC68P & FiOS: WAN dropouts on 386.x

    That I do not know. It’s possible the VLAN 501/502 is used to backhaul guest traffic over the mesh. If you use aimesh, you might want to modify the script to leave the VLANs on the bridge but take the WAN port off: robocfg vlan 501 ports “1t 2t 3t 4t 5t” robocfg vlan 502 ports “1t 2t 3t 4t 5t”...

    Yep. It works for me.

    RT-AC68P & FiOS: WAN dropouts on 386.x

    I figured out the root cause and a fix for GN1 killing WAN: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-386-2_6-is-now-available.72962/post-696360 Yes, that's right. GN1 leaks DHCP from the guest network straight through to the WAN port!

    Ok, I'm pretty sure I've figured out the problem with guest network 1 killing the WAN, and it's dumb. Really dumb. admin@RT-AC66U_B1-0:/tmp/home/root# robocfg show Switch: enabled ... VLANs: BCM5301x enabled mac_check mac_hash 1: vlan1: 1 2 3 4 5t 2: vlan2: 0 5 502: vlan502: 0t 1t 2t 3t...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_6 is now available

    I’ll try that tomorrow (it doesn’t drop unless the GN has been unused for hours, like overnight) but I have a feeling it won’t trigger a WAN drop. Because of the bridging bug, GN2/3 are basically like YazFi GNs on br0.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_6 is now available

    GN2/3 aren't properly isolated from the LAN. I don't want my company-issued laptop on my LAN for privacy reasons. see here: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac68p-fios-wan-dropouts-on-386-x.73214/post-696303 ASUS *could* put them on br1/br2 for isolation, but they didn't. Might be a bug...

    RT-AC68P & FiOS: WAN dropouts on 386.x

    Guest networks 2 and 3 have a pretty bad bug too. They can access your LAN no matter how you set the "Access Intranet" option. They aren't safe to use if you are trying to keep guests out of your LAN. This is the bridging configuration with 5G guest 1 and 2 on. Both are set to access intranet...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_6 is now available

    This is a weird one. When a device joins the guest network, WAN will drop out until you manually cycle the WAN connection. I thought it was coincidence too, but nope. Three days in a row now when I boot my work laptop, it connects to the guest network and my WAN drops. Syslog is not very...

    RT-AC68P & FiOS: WAN dropouts on 386.x

    It's the guest network! Turn it back on and have something join it. WAN will drop out until you manually cycle the WAN connection. I thought it was coincidence too, but nope. Three days in a row now when I turn on my work laptop, it connects to the guest network and my WAN drops. Syslog is not...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta (stage 2) is now available

    They're working fine after copying the firmware over and writing it locally. It's possible the web UI was timing out on uploading it, I have to update these via VPN or SSH tunnel (yes, I know...)

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta (stage 2) is now available

    I have two RT-AC66U_B1s. Both running 386.1 beta 4. Neither will take beta 5, both give me the "Invalid Firmware Upload" error. I had to scp the AC68 firmware to /tmp and use mtd-write2.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    I do know how to get past the GUI hang. SSH in, look for the nt_center process that is eating all the CPU, kill -9 it. Not sure if it’s something in JFFS causing the hang or not. One of my routers hangs after being rebooted, the other does not. They have pretty much identical config and JFFS...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    It seems the speedtest is CPU-bound, at least on the RT-AC68. I have gigabit fiber and it tops out at about 300 Mbps. On a wired PC I can get around 700 Mbps. The router’s hardware acceleration is on.
