AC5300 - GUI download meter not working

[vtol]

RT-AC5300
CPU Model ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l) (Cores: 2)
Firmware Version 384.4_beta1

The download meter stays dead (@0) whilst downloads are moving the needle of the upload meter, which also (correctly) responds to uploads.

Maybe there is a typo in line 189 or 202 of AdaptiveQoS_Bandwidth_Monitor.asp, as the brackets are set differently?

l189 if(upload > (parseInt(upload) + 0.5))

l202 if(download > (parseInt(download + 0.5)))

Unfortunately the file AdaptiveQoS_Bandwidth_Monitor.asp is read only protected and thus could not be edited through SSH

 

[vtol]

Is there a way to edit/write the file? With the webgiu credentials through SSH it does not work (read only protection). Tried to SSH login as root but passwords like root, admin, webgui password are not working...

You can't modify the file, it's in read-only flash memory.

I c, too bad though as just wanted to debug it.

Aside from this issue above the meters used to be inverted in previous firmware versions, i.e. downloads got the needle of the upload meter moving and uploads got the download meter needle moving. Perhaps just a case of inverted labeling the meters on that page.

If you are using a VPN tunnel, then these are known to mess up with the traffic monitoring.

I highly doubt it's related to the difference you found in the calculation, otherwise it would be broken for everyone.

yep, using (split) VPN tunneling. So it would be up to Asus to sort this in their firmware, if there were interested in the first place?

Yes. They've been notified about the issue related to VPN clients, but they indicated it wasn't a priority for them to fix.

You can do this:

cp -p /www/AdaptiveQoS_Bandwidth_Monitor.asp /jffs/
mount --bind /jffs/AdaptiveQoS_Bandwidth_Monitor.asp /www/AdaptiveQoS_Bandwidth_Monitor.asp

and then you can edit /www/AdaptiveQoS_Bandwidth_Monitor.asp

To undo the above and clean up:

umount /www/AdaptiveQoS_Bandwidth_Monitor.asp
rm /jffs/AdaptiveQoS_Bandwidth_Monitor.asp

If you want your modification to survive a reboot then you could put the bind mount command in a user script.
