CUSTOM/FORK RMERLIN FIRMWARE

[hggomes]

Thanks for your answers

When DMZ is turned ON you dont need to port forward anything more, that's what's DMZ is for. Do you really know what you are doing??!

DMZ will make all running services on that machine accessible from the outside, do you really need it? Why not turn off DMZ and forward only the ports you need manually? Why not change the http port on the router to a different one and run the http server port 80 on the NAS?

That's the reason for your issue, don't use DMZ and forward rules together on the same device/IP, you must use one or other.

I erased port forwarding.

I was surprised to see that the loopback works ......

 

[hggomes]

!??!??!?!?

The problem is not on the router or FW, but on your configuration, you should read more about networking configurations so you can understand that you can't have it running that way.

Now you understand why i asked you to tell me the exact steps you've made?

 

[stefauresi]

I am silly , DMZ and port forwarding on the same IP is a stupidity

I deleted the redirect.

The loopback works correctly

Hi, Im new here and I hope, you can help me.
I have the RT-N66U and the latest merlin FW 378.50.0
All is ok for me, but the max output power i can get is 100mw

That 100 in gui means 100%, NOT 100mW

That 100 in gui means 100%, NOT 100mW

on this firmware was written "mW" now I have a new installed (378.51alpha...) there written 1-100% but how much is 100%???

Not trying to start another flamewar in this thread, but I think someone should (once again) question the legitimacy and motives of this firmware...

If hggomes "doesn't have the time" to upload sources to GitHub, but has the time to continue distributing new builds via PMs, I think people should be questioning what the real reason would be for a lack of time available to release the source.

Remember that your router (for most) is the central point where traffic from any device flows through - you should consider the possibility of this firmware sniffing sensitive information (email/password combinations, credit card details, online bank login details) and phoning it home somewhere, or leveraging your connection for illegal purposes (participating in Distributed Denial of Service attacks, for example).

Also consider that forks of the original Asus firmware such as RMerlin's and forks of that firmware such as john9527 and AndreyPopov's forks provide a level of trust and transparency by uploading the source code along with the binary firmware files (not to mention fulfilling the requirement to do so as set by the license agreement). They offer the advantage of opening themselves up to audit if there is suspicion surrounding the motives of the fork.

If you read back through this thread you'll find instances where myself and others have called on hggomes to provide sources and he has in multiple instances promised release of the source code with timelines that were repeatedly missed, and still to this day hggomes has not made good on the promises he made months ago.

I would suggest to anyone asking for PMs for download links to keep this in mind and consider alternative firmwares which do have sources available:

• Asuswrt-Merlin
• john9527's fork
• AndreyPopov's fork

Once again, I also call to hggomes to provide sources in compliance with the GPL license and to provide the transparency and trust deserved to those using your fork of Asuswrt-Merlin.
