Asuswrt-Merlin 374.39 is out

[lwizard]

SAMBA patch must be reverted?

I had applied this patch on your previous firmware:

cat << EOF > /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf
#!/bin/sh
CONFIG=\$1
sed -i '/\[global\]/abind interfaces only = yes' \$CONFIG
EOF
chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf
service restart_nasapps

Do I have to clear this mod before updating to you latest version or does not matter?

Thanks!

Remove it before or after upgrading, it does not matter.

Is this now recommended over 3.0.0.4.374.38_2-em?

And sorry I'm sure this is asked many times, do we need to reset or just flashing will do?

If your using 38_2-em now you can just flash over it with the new build no reset required. I was told this by Merlin himself.

Usb hub bug

Asus changes (build 583) to support USB HUB introduced a bug, which now is also in this firmware. As screenshot shows the size of attached USB storage(mediasonik with raid 1) is not correct. The storage has one GPT, NTFS partition of 2.7TB in size (3TB HDD).

Though size is not displayed correctly the SHARE(entire storage) is entirely available and Win OS displays correct size.

P.S. my first post

Thanks

After purchasing the RT-AC68R about 48 hours ago and flashing it with the latest factory firmware (build 583) - it worked great for about 36 hours until out of nowhere my speed just took a huge nose-dive and it began crawling. A reboot of the router fixed this issue but I must say that it was very disappointing that this issue occurred so quickly after setting up the RT-AC68R.

Is it a HARDWARE issue or possible related to the Asus factory firmware?

Anyhow, I switched over to Merlin's latest build, hoping for better results.

There is a big bug, even in the .38 build, for usb hubs.
See http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=15229 for more informations I collected. Last working version for me is the .35_4 build on my N66.

Those who are seeing queries bypassing DNSFilter, check what DNS servers your computer is using. If it has an IPv6 DNS defined, then queries sent to this server (which is typically your router's IPv6) won't be affected by the DNSFilter firewall rules since it will go through the ip6tables chains instead of the standard iptables.

Since none of the filtering services offers any IPv6 servers (that I'm aware of at least), I'm not sure at this point how to handle these requests, short of rejecting any DNS query sent over IPv6 if there is a valid DNSFilter rule for the requesting client. I will have to think about it.

I already looked up their FAQ, their IPv6 DNS do not filter anything, they are just regular resolvers.

ok so, nortons filters pants, utter pants. 1 of 3 porn sites were blocked so it has a 33% chance of your kids not watching some girl getting shafted with a fist.

anyway.

nortons filters set in the wan dns work.

nortons filters set in parental dns control do not work, i have rebooted everything and cleared every cache possible.

If it then set yandex it works as expected.

n66u using the em 39 build.

otoh opendns had a better hit rate, 66% so better than nortons and worst than yandex.

Hey! Same here!

I just tested Norton DNS IP's on the WAN page.
First time I see Norton block a porn site.
So Norton is not region specific or something, it works fine.

When on the WAN page back to my ISP's DNS and use Norton filtering it does nothing. (Yandex and OpenDNS filters work.)
Must be something inside my RT-N66U which keeps it from working.

disable ipv6

 

[Builder71]

disable ipv6

Both IPv6 items are disabled from day one.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I guess not related but my router is configured to use 10.0.0.254 with 255.255.255.0 mask. (LAN config page.)
That is different from stock, so maybe a hint for troubleshooting code.

You could take a look at OpenDNS too if you want a better alternative that won't scare your kids with Russian error pages, or having Youtube streams being sent from an European server.

<off-topic>
Is OpenDNS able to give you a Youtube server close to where you live?
(In other words, does it keep track of your geografical location?)

When i set NO on the function ENABLE NAT in section WAN i have no internet on my device i lan and wireless. Why ?

I try this disabled because i can not run tunnel IPSEC to other router...(DRAYTEK VIGOR). When i connect my PC with out router ASUS i can connect with no problem. I try this on notebook with WIn 7 x64 Pro and PC with Win 8.1 x64 Pro. On all is problem. Can you help me...please ?

 

[Quiptix]

Just to be sure

I'm using OpenDNS for years, so I did already enforced using OpenDNS by setting it in the WAN settings.
Is there any benefit or extra to also using it in the parental control (DNS tab)?

...I am definitely on an IPv4 only set-up with my ISP and have IPv6 disabled in the RT.

Your right, i missed that one.. it's coming

Additional functionality, like Web content filtering, malware and botnet protection, phishing protection, and more will be available on different IPs when IPv6 support is added to the OpenDNS Dashboard in the coming months.

Well im back to the same ipv6 issue with this firmware as well. IPv6 works great for 2 days then the router loses its v6 public address a reboot is required to get it back again. Unreal no other firmware does this but the 38 and 39 builds n66u. So its official im buying a new router tired of playing this firmware game. Asus broke v6 for the N66u unless you want to reboot every 2 days.

Use to really like the n66 but i guess its time to move on. I will have to think really hard before i buy another Asus again. And before somebody says it works fine on my router well thats wonderful it dont on mine and this firmware is the reason tested many times.
