I used this guide today and it worked fine for my rt-n66u. I used the specific version of openvpn for windows mentioned in the article (found on the openvpn site downloads page under other or previous) and it worked great first time! Watch for the Program Files (x86) mentions!

In addition to checking whether you installed the 32/64 bit edition, any change to files in that directory will require you to run with elevated privileges. Often, the simplest is to copy the config files on the desktop, edit them there, then copy them back to their proper location. Explorer should then ask you whether you want to let him elevate its privileges to write the files back.

To be honest Eric, I found the OpenVPN format garbled and incomprehensible. But, I did find a webpage for windows 8 and it said the same thing as the OpenVPN page.
I tried to access the file \Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa via elevated command and it could not find the file. I think its because it's Version 2, and they have changed the file system. Anyway I hit a brick wall and could not proceed. I also tried DD-WRT which I am familiar with but, could not find a suitable firmware for the OpenVPN to work!
I've spent 12 hrs on this today and I'm a little tired and fed up of firmware. Let me know if you can help?
Thanks for you previous help BTW.

That's already been said thanks.

According to the OpenVPN download page, easy-rsa is no longer included with the OpenVPN installer, you have to download it separately:

http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html

This has nothing to do with the firmware you are using, this is related to the client you are installing.

Anyone facing problems with Smart Access? I used to be able to see the PCs on my LAN and use the WOL feature when on the 270.25 firmware, however now I can only see the disks connected to the router on 372.31 firmware.

Works for me.

Any particular setting might cause it to fail for me? Offhand, I can't think of anything...

Check firewall configuration on the PCs, try making the router the Master Browser (Misc settings page where you can configure SMB/NFS/FTP), then reboot. Could be that your network master browser is a firewall PC, not reporting the list of devices. Also make sure everything is on the same workgroup.

I'm having a hell of a time finding the master browser setting on 372.31. Where is it again?

Hi Balin,

Hope this help

merlin can u integrate an addition to the dnsmasq.conf in the firmware. check if there is a jffs partition. and if there is add
conf-file=/jffs/conf/dnsmasq.conf
it could very be useful i guess at least to me

You can already customize dnsmasq.conf.

Nope that didn't work. The router is already the Master Browser and all my computers are on the default WORKGROUP.

I am probably reverting back to 270 series given I am still facing random reboots. I just got a kernel dump with a different stack trace which I am posting in my other thread. Hope you can take a look. A "not sure what is happening" reply is appreciated too.

That crash was inside one of the AiCloud component. No idea what it means. This is pristine, unchanged Asus code.

hmm ok. I will switch it off and see if stability improves. I wonder if it is related to the fact I can't see any devices on my local network. Thanks for the quick replies anyway!
