Asuswrt-Merlin 376.47 is out

[Muyfa666]

Thanks john. That's the info I was looking for. I like client renaming alot, so I guess I have to stay on RMerlins latest then.

This upgrade didn't go smoothly at all. Eventually had to do a factory reset with a 30/30/30 reboot.

It appears to be working now but some of the pages only partially refresh and it just hangs... only way to get it to stop is to select "x" on the url bar. then refresh the page again.. very annoying... any ideas?

Forgot to mention Asus AC68R.. I was running the previous Merlin release. and I still have the page refresh issue...

This is also happening to me and is very frustrating. it makes it nearly impossible to configuer the router with a PC.
I haven't had any problem with my ipad 2 which points me towards windows.

It has happened on both .45, .47 and the asus official firmware

Has anyone found a solution for this issue
Thanks

If you are running ESET....

Try adding router address to Web and Email > Protocol filtering > Excluded ip addresses.

I had the same problem for a long time and this worked for me.

Slow torrent speeds

Hello RMerlin,

I'm using your firmware from the moment I bought my AC56u. But i encounter a problem with last revisions: my torrent speeds are slow, comparing to other older releases. What I test with Merlin_AC56U_3.0.0.4_374.42_2 I get 55+ MB/sec with my torrent client (best speed so far). Since this revision, everything I've tried (all following updates) gave me maximum 27MB/sec. In the past, there was also one revision that worked 50+MB/sec - Merlin_AC56U_3.0.0.4_374.38_1. What could be wrong? After every update, I've reverted to factory settings. I've tried to keep settings from 42_2 after update, but still no luck.

Wired or wireless client?

wired client.

Are you really talking about MegaBytes/s, or Megabits/s?

If it's really MegaBytes, then you probably have HW acceleration disabled. Check the Tools page for the reason why it's disabled.

It's MegaBytes. And HW acceleration is enabled "HW acceleration Enabled (CTF only)"

Run a generic speed test with a site like speedtest.net.

If HW acceleration is enabled, then I can't see any reason why the router wouldn't be able to hit 700-800 Mbps.

I just did. Here are the results: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3848489490.png

Then the problem probably lies with your torrent client setup. Make sure you're not using any IPv6 tunnel (tunnels tend to be much slower), adjust the number of concurrent session, and make sure you aren't starving your downstream by having the upstream limit set too high (you need some leftover upstream bandwidth to send back ACK packets).

Unfortunately is not about a client issue. I've just reverted to old release and tried again. Then I've updated to newer 374.43 release (and after, to johny's fork). Here are the results - same client, same torrent, same number of seeders - HUGE difference. Something just happened after 374.42 firmware...

The only thing I could see then is HW acceleration was changed by Asus at some point in regard to handling UDP packets (which are extensively used by torrents). This is entirely out of my control as CTF is closed source.

is anything I can do? I can go back to .38 revision but it lacks of HFS+ support for my hdd.. and with .42 I also have some issues with USB3.0 port

Not that I can think of if the issue is really limited HW acceleration support for UDP traffic, no.

thank you for taking time to answer my problem. I'm looking forward for next fw releases. maybe one of them will fix the slow transfer speed. until then I'll stick with .42_2 version.

best wishes

Noticing some weird happenings with my Apples devices, last night my iPad 3 lost internet connectivcity however I had a full wifi connection. Now tonight my iPhone 5S keeps dropping the wifi and then coming back up.

Looking in the logs it would seem that some sort of DCHP error is occurring

Wondering if it is related to IOS 8.1?

sounds like the issue many are having
