Could you allow the use of using a lower dBm then -70
Can't. Been tried before, limits are hardcoded in the driver.
Could you allow the use of using a lower dBm then -70
id ask in the asus wrt thread, maybe one of the staff there could look into it.@RMerlin
Main router: AC86U
AP: AC1900P
AC86U in setting: Wireless->Professional->Roaming assistant
Could you allow the use of using a lower dBm then -70
Reason: it's causing my clients to be connected with too weak of a signal when I'd like them to switch to my closer AP with a stronger signal.
When I try to change this setting a message of "Please enter a value between -90 to -70" appears.
I'm using HGGomes firmware on my AP 1900P, which allows a lower value to be set. I need this ability on my 86U as well for my setup work properly, otherwise most of my clients stay connected to the weaker signal router and gives bad wireless throughput.
I just upgraded to RT-AC3100. Installed 382 Beta 2 firmware. Custom DDNS not working right. Requires a password but there's no password field on the web page to fill in. (I have it hard-coded in my script anyway.)
I think what you're looking for is under Network Tools | Smart Connect Rule. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't -90 less than -70?

How did HGGomes do it in his mod? or is it all show on the GUI and doesn't actually do anything?

I was trying to install Astrill openvpn applet, which worked fine on my previous routers (AC87U) with Asuswrt-Merlin .380
When trying to install on the RT-AC86U with the latest beta, I am getting these errors:

Is there anything I can say/recommend to Astrill to modify in order to make this work?
Or is there anything I can or @RMerlin can do to make such applets install as they do on .380?
P.S. Their support picked the "beta" label as their scapegoat and said they want to wait until it will become final first. :/

For the time being you can manually download their certs from their website and import them to the routers baked in OpenVPN client.
If you absolutely need Astril, you should go back to the previously supported version.
And they are correct in doing so. Beta things can change before the final release, no point in them wasting time making changes that might not work any longer once the final release is out.

Custom implies that you handle everything in a custom script, that's why there's no password field while in that mode.
The hostname field is only so the firmware will know what to insert in the ssl certificate SANs or in the exported ovpn file, it's not actively used while in Custom mode.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry not sure if I made myself clear. After filling out the Custom form including the hostname, a popup dialog box appears indicating a password is needed. I'm thinking that password popup on the web gui is a mistake.
If there is a .380 build somewhere for the AC86U, please let me know where I can download it.
Generally I'd agree, but since based on the "nvram size limit" errors and your earlier comments on this thread (about the nvram limit issue) I assumed that it won't be corrected until the final build is out and thus they should at least start working on some kind of workaround for the nvram limit and that mkd error.
from my experince the scrip needs to be updated, and i factory reset after upgrading due ti my log having a seizure with errors.If i upgrade do i need to re do Jrfreshs qos?....and or clear nvram?
Its gone mental.
Im getting streaming showing up under others...which didnt happen before.
Also gaming is horrible.
Such a workaround was tricky for me to come up with, and will be even more difficult for Astrill as they do not control the firmware source code itself. It's best for them to wait rather than have engineers spend hours of (paid) time working on a workaround. I haven't completely dismissed the possibility that Asus might come up with some solution. Even if it only comes in time for 382.2, no point in Astrill spending too much time doing a workaround in 382.1, then having to ditch it in 382.2 and require all their users to reconfigure everything again as they moved back to a cleaner approach.

I'm thinking that password popup on the web gui is a mistake. At that point I just cancel. I was using the my script with my old RT-AC66U and it was working fine. Once I get my RT-AC3100 working again (the 5G cut out; not sure what's wrong), I'm planning to run my custom DDNS script with a cron job as a work-around.
@RMerlin
beta2 on RT-AC86U, IPTV STB port feature does not work at all.
There is a difference between stock and merlin firmware
When I set the Choose IPTV STB Port on stock firmware, I can see the message
Enable multicast routing (IGMP Proxy) Disable (Due to hardware limitation, IGMP proxy cant co-exist with IPTV function.)
hmm.. sd-idle-2.6 seems to be broken when you merged with 16466 code.
it doesn't work.
