    Unknown MAC Address in logs

    I just looked at my mac address list of my devices and out of 25 odd only one starts with D4: - it is my daughter-in- laws Android Huawei Y6 phone (my Y7 is totally different). You haven't got an old one lying around anywhere?

    diff: minor typo fixes for 386.4

    I wasn't being disrespectful, and your intentions are well appreciated, but it is as I said.

    Wireless extender showing up as "wired"

    For what it's worth, my extenders always have. I just ignore it.

    diff: minor typo fixes for 386.4

    I think you are wasting your efforts here. Anybody that does build from source would easily be able to fix all that up if they wanted to. You wouldn't just build the source like this just to apply an arbitrary diff file.

    BTW, here is the ping from my android phone to the AP: --- 14 Feb 2022 12:55:19 --- IP (wlan0) 192.168.73.95 --- Connection: WIFI PING 192.168.73.1 (192.168.73.1) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 14 Feb 2022 12:55:19 64 bytes from 192.168.73.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=15.0 ms average=15 ms --- 14 Feb...

    High ping to local devices

    Yes, Colin is correct again. Here are my ping results to/from the AP over 2.4GHz: Android phone: 64 bytes from 192.168.73.95: seq=0 ttl=64 time=26.342 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.73.95: seq=1 ttl=64 time=37.401 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.73.95: seq=2 ttl=64 time=54.602 ms 64 bytes from...

    help decifering error in system log RT-ac88U running 386.4

    And yes to that - the firmware uses 3rd party kernel modules, so the kernel will always be 'tainted'.

    ad blocking

    I have 4 Pi's and apart from the earlier years with cheap(er) cards haven't had an SDCard failure for over 6 years. I found the cheaper 'no-name' cards are not up to it. Spend your money and buy a decent, more expensive San-Disk - they just work. I also clone mine using dd in Linux, and that...

    system log shows old data

    I away use one or more of these for my main ntp server depending on your location: https://timetoolsltd.com/information/public-ntp-server/uk/ I found the ntp pool servers are not very reliable these days, quite a few never seem to be up.

    help decifering error in system log RT-ac88U running 386.4

    "kernel: CPU: 0 Tainted: P (2.6.36.4brcmarm #1)" 'Tainted' is a flag added to the kernel when it detects a non-main line module added to the kernel build by a third party (i.e. the module isn't part of the official kernel tree). The idea is that if somebody reports a kernel crash to the Linux...

    New PPPoE fiber

    Your ISP should provide you with the precise details of the connection set up. e.g., here are my ISP generic connection details for FTTC (see the section Service Protocols: ): https://support.aquiss.net/en/knowledgebase/article/generic-fttc-broadband-setup-and-router-settings

    Malicious site blocking still working?

    AS an aside I use the Opendns family shield dns: https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/228007127-FamilyShield-Computer-Configuration-Instructions Works really good and also you hit a 'blocked' page if trying to visit a dodgy site. Also they are quick to respond ( < 4 days) to add an...

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    Geez, as I said in the other thread on this, you will not beat lag!. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/new-to-networking-does-my-router-support-cake.76997/post-740325 Do you know the server addresses you connect to/play on? If so, post here and a few of us, if willing, could do some basic...

    change leasetime guest dhcp range

    It the way it's read in - the last one takes the honours. Sat thinking here, one solution is to copy the whole firmware dsnamsq.conf to /jffs/config/ and then edit that - that will replace the whole default file (but get it right!).

    change leasetime guest dhcp range

    Well, dnsmasq.conf.add appends to the firmware default - so once dnsmasq reads the first one it will not look for that any more (simply put).

    change leasetime guest dhcp range

    Why have you got dhcp-range=br1 twice? Is that a typo?

    Failed PPR?

    I build my own kernels on my older laptops etc. and was intrigued by this. Doing a google on that symbol reveals that there is a patch set for embedded kernels that introduces PREEMPT RT, and the symbol ppr_get_vht_mcs appears to be part of that. You can turn it off via a kernel boot time...

    New to networking - does my router support CAKE?

    I was first on the Internet around 1995 using dial-up. I started playing online first shooter games around 1998, mainly Quake II. You got lag then, real bad. I have seen people try everything, but nothing ever worked(*). Then came the *DSL era. People's pings came down, servers became...
