Just ask when I still dont understand the problem. User A explained -> I still dont understand so I must ask for another helps... Sometimes I have the solution but I still dont know if it is a right solution so I still find some helps.... Sorry about that :((

I've been experiencing lockups with the latest build. Both 2.4 and 5ghz radios disappear and all connectivity to the router is lost. Wired and wireless. Can't even access it through a lan port. Trying the latest stock firmware to make sure it's not a hardware issue. I have to power cycle to get things up again.
What router are you running it on and did you do a factory reset after installing the FW?
 
"saifooz said:
I built asuswrt-merlin 378.52_alpha2 if someone want to test it for RT-AC87U"
I think I saw merlin talk about it in one of the threads. I'm guessing saidfooz got it from https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin
Look at the changelog for more info
https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/blob/master/Changelog.txt

The repo changelog is rarely up-to-date during development. You will have to look at the commit lists to determine what's changed - and I'd suggest anyone making unofficial builds from Github to report which SHA1 their git snapshot is from, to help people figure out what actual code is included, as I only bump revisions at irregular stages of development.
 
Hi guys, upgraded to .51 and all looked fine till I observed that I actually cannot write anything on my usb 3.0 attached drive. I can read from it, with both admin (r/w) and read-only accounts but as admin I cannot copy anything on the drive anymore. All my backup jobs are failing due this. I see all the folders and files on the mounted path are admin root owned. I do not recall if this is how it should be..

admin@RT-AC68U-0B20:/jffs/scripts# mount

I did a chmod 777 on all folders on the path but with no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Hi everybody,

Nice to be on the nerdy corner of the internet! :p

I'm using RT_AC66U with Dual-Wan loadbalancing configuration running .51 firmware. I was wondering how I can redirect certain games/programs to only use one or the other Wan connections under "Routing rules"?

I get kicked by PunkBuster for "packet flow" when I play games like Battlefield using dual Wan so I'm assuming I need to create a rule. I guess the real question is how do i find the "Source ip" (screenshot below) of a given game/program? I can just leave "Destination ip" blanc and it will redirect all traffic right?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I had similar (not the same) issues with my AC68U router and USB until I disabled the option "Reducing USB 3.0 interference" unter Wireless / Professional / Band = 2.4GHz.

Maybe this helps also in your case. :rolleyes:

With kind regards

Just bought the RT68U model. I am unclear on the firmware update.

Official ASUS site shows - ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.4585 - 2015/03/12

Merlin shows - RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_378.51_0 - (6-Mar-2015)

The official firmware upgrade is newer than Merlin. Should I still apply the Merlin firmware on top of ASUS official firmware or?

What should be the latest level of ASUS firmware for me to apply Merlin firmware?

Only you can decide to run Merlin or Stock.
To see what benefits you get with Merlin over stock, please visit http://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/features
You can apply Merlin on top of ANY version of Asus stock firmware.

Merlins is based on 3.0.0.4.378_4129 source code from Asus. There is no source released for the 4585 yet from what I understand. However if you look at the change logs for both you will fine Merlins .51 is pretty much up to date (at least with the security fixes). Of course all up to you, if ASUS stock is working for you and you don't care for or need the other functionality of Merlins code just stick with stock.
 
Lately my openvpn client connection is not working. I have been waking up, and discovering I am not connected to vpn anymore. This is a big issue for me. I have narrowed it down to
Code:
rc_service: rc 914:notify_rc restart_wrs
in the log. I then tried all 3 loopback options - disabled, RMerlin, Asus. All the same, it connects to my VPN provider for a few seconds after reboot, then I get the rc restart in log, vpn says its still running on, but traffic is not routed through vpn.
I don't use any trend micro, and I also have tried toggling NAT acceleration between auto and off. (I prefer off)

I read in another thread this may be related to trend micro, should I revert to a firmware without it.? If I check to make sure I am not using QoS by selecting Adaptive Qos in sidebar it also breaks the vpn connection.
Code:

AC68U

Edit: I am having trouble now reproducing the above after a reboot. restart_wrs is missing now when I check the log after reboot. hmmm

Just a update- My issue with the vpn getting bypassed has not re-appeared, and its been over a week. I guess it may have been something going on with my vpn provider. 378.51 rock solid, and no weird gibberish in log this week. wonderful
 
RT-AC68U configured as an AP, using it as a wireless media server, on this build even after a full reset the USB applications tab is missing.
 
There is no source released for the 4585 yet from what I understand.
source is relased, and RMerlin merged it with his code.
Code:
378.52 (xx-xxx-2015)
- NEW: Merged with Asus GPL 378_4608

Be careful if building from latest source (Alpha 3), wireless radios are disabled on the RT-AC68U and the missing usb applications tab in AP mode is still present.

It might be fixed with latest merges.

Thank you for suggestion, but now I remembered why I had this option enabled :). Without it the usb drive is not recognized at all. Although the blue led on the router is lit, just in the GUI there is no USB shown as mounted or even detected. Related to the previous issue I have a feeling that is a windows issue, because from my laptop via wireless connection I am able to copy files. Just from the desktop pc via wired connection the copy job is just stuck without starting at all.
