[Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

[RogerSC]

I'm finding v13 solid on the RT-AC68P as well. No disconnects or reboots required, wireless is as good as previously for me.

Thanks very much!

 

[john9527]

absolutely.im on the rt-ac68u. what logs do you want?

edit: heres the syslog

There's several errors related to running Transmission....for some people it works, others not. Try turning that off and see if things improve.

Also, I believe Transmission 2.84 is available via Entware....you may want to try updating if running without it enabled stabilizes things.

strange... I didn't even know transmission was a possibility, and Im 99.9% certain ive never turned it on. Can you point me towards the setting for that, im not seeing it...

edit; OK I've been through every setting, and I dont see it, and I know I've never installed transmission on this hardware.

Hi, just wanted to ask if SNMP is included in the AC68U build?
Tried to search the forum and found that the "original" build seems to include this.

You never installed Entware/Optware? I'm definitely not an expert on Transmission, but it may also be installed as part of Download Master.

SNMP was added after the code on which the fork is based was released. Sorry, but no plans to add it.

no, never installed anything like that. download master was installed, but I disabled it yesterday, but still woke up this morning, like every morning since 13e1, and had to reboot the router because it had stalled. this time I had to physically reboot it because I couldn't even connect to it at 192.168.1.1

edit: all i want to backup settings wise is the manual dhcp server settings and port forwarding, that way i can reset the vram and start new. will the restore/save option in administration pull a lot more than that?

 

[adrianmak]

My n66U is using firmware 374.43_2-03j9527, is it worth to update to this version ?

 

[wiz]

sure. The whole idea behind this fork is that John will create updates so the components used by this firmware will get security updates. So from security point of view it is worth to update.

 

[dopefish]

Ive had to manually reboot the router about once a day for past two builds because of losing internet access. V11 would last for weeks, but these past two havent so much. No special vpn or anything like that being used, only have a usb drive attached.

Same problem here. No connection via wireless possible with lates version (v13), had to reboot after updating to V13. I had no issues with RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_374.43_2-11E1j9527.trx

Maybe someone can check my log file? (MACs have been removed) RT N66U losing connection to internet and or to wifi in general. After reboot everything is fine for a while.

And of course: THANK YOU John and Merlin. Your firmwares are freaking awesome!! I love it.

//edit:

just came back to v11 and wireless internet seems to be much faster as well Tomorrow i will do a factory reset before upgrading to v13 and after upgrading. I will let you know

Maybe someone can check my log file? (MACs have been removed) RT N66U losing connection to internet and or to wifi in general. After reboot everything is fine for a while.

You are cycling trying to set up your IPv6 connection.

Two questions for you...
What type of connection, PPPoE or native?
Location (could you possibly be in UK or Romania?)

Double check your IPv6 settings and try 'unchecking' the Enable IPv6 MTU Advertisement setting on the IPv6 page. (especially if you are PPPoE)

After a firmware updated, content in /jiffs are gone.

I tried to add back user scripts manually, but system returned "read-only file system".

The jffs space on MIPS routers is shared with the code (uses whatever space is left over after the code load). Hence, that nice yellow WARNING text on the upgrade page about backing up your jffs. You need to disable jffs, reboot, and then re-enable and format, then restore your backup.

Ok John- I have another idea for the firmware. I have been using the custom configuration area to type in some openvpn settings. The problem is, the cursor is pretty much impossible to see (ok, maybe an overstatement there). It may be my browser or something, but if the visibility of the cursor is low for a lot of users maybe it would be a good idea to make it more visible? Maybe thicken it by a few pixels?

The browser draws the cursor, not the firmware...

This one I agree with.....now to start doing some searches to try and learn if its possible (and how to do it..my html is self-taught )

I think it's just the Windows default.

You can change the system-wide setting from Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Make the computer easier to see > Set the thickness of the blinking cursor. That's for Windows 7, in XP it's under Accessiblity Options > Display.

If you're referring to the mouse pointer cursor (the I-beam) that can be changed as well from control panel to an "outlined" shape. (PuTTY has this problem when use over RDP)

 

[john9527]

The browser draws the cursor, not the firmware...

Well, of course RMerlin is right again In this context, it's not referred to as the cursor, but as the 'caret'...and you basically have no control over it (you can play some games with the background color to try and change the caret color, but that's about it).

You can change the system-wide setting from Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Make the computer easier to use > Set the thickness of the blinking cursor. That's for Windows 7,

Colin - nice find....I've made use of some of the Accessibility options before, but missed this one. I've been resetting my systems to a 2 pixel width.
