    RT-AX82U - 2 clients are connecting through this device

    The desktop is connected only via wifi. No ethernet.

    RT-AX82U - 2 clients are connecting through this device

    I checked after I noticed that message and everything looks fine but I don't think it would pick up on someone remotely accessing my PC and that's what I was concerned about.

    Oh I see. Ok, I'll check again after the lease renewal.

    RT-AX82U - 2 clients are connecting through this device

    I hope that's the case. When I get a chance, I will reset my router and check if that message still appears. Thanks.

    RT-AX82U - 2 clients are connecting through this device

    When I view "Network Map", it shows the number 2 next to my desktop's icon and when I hover over it, I see that message.

    RT-AX82U - 2 clients are connecting through this device

    Hi, I'm using a desktop, which connects to my network via wifi. Today, for the first time, my router is reporting that 2 clients are connecting through this device. I'm not using a virtual machine and the OS is Windows Home, which does not have RDP. I do not have any remote access software...

    RT-AX82U: No longer able to access router via SSH

    I have enabled SSH through LAN only and I have selected the allow password login option but when I use Putty to login by inputting the IP address of my router and the port I input in the router settings, it just times out. I used to be able to login using SSH and I have not changed any...

    Networking question

    Thanks for the info. I had assumed that adding a second router would decrease latency but I see your point. If the time comes when I have to move my router and I have too much latency from the desktop, I'll try a mesh setup if I can find a good deal on a router.

    Networking question

    Sorry, I think I did a bad job at explaining myself. To makes things easier, let's use these examples: Scenario 1: - AX82U router is only router in use - Desktop is 100 feet away and connected wirelessly to AX82U Scenario 2: - AX82U is primary router - AX58U is 100 feet away, used as a...

    Networking question

    I might have to move my router to a different location and I was wondering if this network setup would work for my use case. I have an AX82U and I'm thinking of buying an AX58U to create a mesh network. If my AX82U is connected to my modem, can I use the AX58U in a different location as a...

    Merlin vs Stock on AX82U

    I have the RT-AX82U router and I find the wifi range to be very good and it's been pretty stable so far. I have never used the RT-AX58U but there seem to be some differences between the two. https://www.asus.com/product-compare?ProductID=12221,14629&LevelId=Networking-IoT-Servers-WiFi-6

    RT-AX89X suddenly started using a lot more CPU and memory leak leads to lockup every ~10mins

    I deleted the file that caused the memory leak, rebooted and stopped the process. I just want to make sure Asus releases a fix or confirms that future versions of that bad file will not cause the same problem. I also think they should have made an official announcement as soon as they...

    RT-AX82U - Available memory keeps decreasing until it reaches 0 and then disconnects

    I figured out how to connect using putty and ran the command that kljiefw posted in this thread - https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-ax89x_9-0-0-4_388_31185-beta.82276/page-6#post-841862 and it has stopped the memory leak. At least for now.

    Beta Asus RT-AX89X_9.0.0.4_388_31185 Beta

    Thanks. I enabled ssh and ran this command after connecting to my router. It seems to have stopped the memory leak. How would I view the contents of the jffs directory? What is the path to that directory? Edit: I found out how to get to that directory and view the log file. Is it safe to...

    RT-AX89X suddenly started using a lot more CPU and memory leak leads to lockup every ~10mins

    Thanks. By factory reset, do you mean pressing and holding the reset button or do you mean the hard reset method? I previously did a reset by holding the reset button on the router. I set it up again. I guess I would need to do another reset? I found a link that explains how to set everyone...

    RT-AX89X suddenly started using a lot more CPU and memory leak leads to lockup every ~10mins

    I'd like to use this method until ASUS releases a fix. Would you be able to give me a brief walk through on how to set this up. I will use my old router to connect to the internet and connect an ethernet cable from my old router's LAN to my ASUS router's WAN port. Do I then disable DHCP on my...

    RT-AX89X suddenly started using a lot more CPU and memory leak leads to lockup every ~10mins

    I started having the same issue this morning (possibly last night) with my RT-AX82U. Is there any firmware for this router that can fix the issue?

    RT-AX82U - Available memory keeps decreasing until it reaches 0 and then disconnects

    Thanks for that link! Yes, I think this is the exact same issue. My initial thought was that the router malfunctioned and was on the way out but this could indeed be an exploit. I might try connect the WAN to my old router and then connect to my ASUS router for a while to see if this is the...

    RT-AX82U - Available memory keeps decreasing until it reaches 0 and then disconnects

    I see it on the status tab, next to where it shows how much memory is being used and how much is free. Can you please tell me where I can find the /var directories in the router settings? Thanks for the link to how to do a hard reset. I will try this if I can't find another way to fix this...
