Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.35 is out

[pera65]

It fits fine here on different browsers and computers. You must be using a non-standard resolution or font size.

Hi again

I am using Windows 7 standard font and my resolution is 1600 x 900.
But I found something interesting:
Normally I use IE 11, but if I use FireFox 25, it's possible to resize all the windows with each key by dragging the lower right corner of each window.

Compatibility issue with recent versions of Chrome. You have to use another browser for the time being when editing users or folders.

That did it, thanks.

I am running one OpenVPN server and I'm able to connect without a problem. But when I go to the VPN Status page, I see a bunch if UNDEF entries under "OpenVPN Server 1- Running", then "Clients"...

UNDEF
Tue Dec 3 15:44:01 2013 x.x.x.x:59261 860 5326

UNDEF
Tue Dec 3 15:44:43 2013 x.x.x.x:44256 860 4072

UNDEF
Tue Dec 3 15:44:28 2013 x.x.x.x:53660 860 4870

(x.x.x.x is my IP address)...

I have 19 lines/display sets of this information, and one of them is the real VPN client. The other 18 are all this UNDEF stuff...


And then, I also have two Clients sections in the VPN Status page, with each section having the exact same information... It is an exact duplicate...

Any idea what this is all about?

Thanks,
MM

Router; AC68R
Latest Merlin firmware installed today.

Im having an issue with USB drive.

If I Enable "Reducing USB 3.0 interference", then the router does not see the USB HDD that is connected to USB 3.0 port.
But if i Disable "Reducing USB 3.0 interference", then that router does see USB HDD on USB 3.0 port. And the speed of file transfer from USB HDD, is the same as USB 2.0 port; 5-6MB/s.

Using Western Digital drive that has USB 3.0 and a very thick cable.

I havent had a chance to test it with factory firmware.

Link for the DM2_2021.exe is missing under Download Master.

See link; its in step #2.

Thanks.


edit;
Its still there but wording has changed. Its now called: "Get ASUS Download Master Utility for Windows now".




Edit 2:

Everything else seems to be working. Im Downloading torrents to USB HDD and streaming a movie from a remote location by using an ftp.

Havent tested openvpn yet, dont have use for it.

No clients ever show in the client list after clicking refresh no mater how long I wait. I clicked on refresh this morning and after work still nothing in the list unless I turn wifi off and then back on, or reboot router. With the asus original firmware it works no problem.

Just a "me too". I'm experiencing this same behavior.

this is a known issue, RMerlin has been unable to reproduce this, or solve it even with logfiles, I provided

what is known is there's some sort of timing issue
regarding when the binary is called

That line reporting Undef usually contains the client's Common Name. Are you using your own client certificates? Do they have a valid CN? I can't tell how you configured it since you have posted the Client config page instead of the Server config page.

Known issue, also happens with stock FW. Enabling the interference reduction option tells the router to not load the XHCI driver (which handles USB 3.0). Some disks are misbehaving when they are forced to USB2.0 mode that way. Asus are aware of the issue, for now you will have to keep that option disabled if your disk does not properly support it.

I'm not able to stream anything in HD without buffering. I've also experienced some minor connectivity issues on my new PS4 as of late too (party drops, could be PS4 isolated).

The "Mason HP" is the laptop I was using the test


I just recently updated to Merlin's latest file RT-AC66U_3.0.0.4_374.35_4

Have had issues since, and even before that sometimes while running the latest official Asus firmware


Any insight?

Thanks

Ended up doing a factory reset. I noticed the power light would blink intermittently before doing it (three blinks then off).

I reset everything, and everything is functioning now. Not sure what happened?

 

[hagbard]

Okay, I just tried the Parental control for myself, despite the log registering the computer at the time it should not be connecting, it doesn't connect when its in the Deny time. So, it looks like it does work.

That line reporting Undef usually contains the client's Common Name. Are you using your own client certificates? Do they have a valid CN? I can't tell how you configured it since you have posted the Client config page instead of the Server config page.

If you look at the screen shots, one of the entries does show the client (HP-Laptop) that is connected to the RT-N66U that is running the OpenVPN server.

In my setup, I use the RT-N66U as the OpenVPN server and the screen shots I sent you shows the server setup even though the RT-N66U shows it as CLIENT 1. There is no other OpenVPN Server setup page in the web GUI...

I use the OpenVPN client program on my Laptop and cell phone to connect to the RT-N66U. And I can connect without any problems. I the past, I would only see one line showing the clients connected to the RT-N66U OpenVPN. Now I see all those UNDEF lines...

As to my certificates, I used OpenSSL to generate them. So, the CN they have is something I created and not something that can be validated against any server to check certificate revocation/validity status.

What I think may be taking place is the new RT-N66U OpenVPN logic is continuously trying to validate the certificate and since the CN chain can't be traced to anyone, it issues syslog messages which I see. But every one of those connections established by the OpenVPN server to validate the CN end up on the UNDEF list... Not sure why it is working that way...

 

[MXM]

And one more thing, the information is duplicated on the web gui.. If you look at the screen shots, pages 3-5 (all those UNDEF lines), the OpenVPN Server 1 section has 2 Clients sections that are pure duplicates of one another...

No reason for this...

Thanks for the clarification dude.



And downloading torrents to usb hdd works flawlessly. No more need to tweak any settings, it simply works.

The OpenVPN server configuration is under VPN Details. The config on the OpenVPN Client Page that you showed has nothing to do with the server configuration.

 

[MXM]

I got it now... The new OpenVPN web gui thru me off...

I turned off the OpenVPN Client and all those UNDEF messages went away...

Then, I reviewed the OpenVPN Server settings, and they were there, as setup under the previous firmware version (34)...

So, all is well...

Thank you for your help, and the awesome job you are doing with the firmware...

While I know that running the client at the same time as the server might cause routing issues, I find it surprising it would cause issues in retrieving the client's common names (unless it was because those clients never succeeded in fully connecting due to routing issues caused by the Client configuration on the router).

The new webui does take a while to adjust, but I tried to keep the benefits of a fully functional advanced setup while merging Asus's additions. I initially tried to keep the whole setup, and it was causing issues because there were too many tabs on one page. I might still do a few additional tweaks in the future (I know Asus still are on their side).

Any insight to my log posted a page back?

Any insight to my log posted a page back?

Only odd thing I can see in there is the radvd 'looping' re-reading that conf file - I imagine that put a bit of overhead on the kernel if it carried on doing it. Interesting it had such a negative impact on the wired performance - would be interesting to see what happens if you switch the IPV6 router advertisments to 'disabled' if the problem re-occurs.

By resetting to factory defaults you re-set the config file so whatever the radvd was struggling with in there was trashed.
