I've just update my N66U from older 276 to 374_6 fork release , and the first thing i noticed switching the firmware is that Wako Ok LAN feature no more works.
I mean, sending magic packet from the site http://www.wakeonlan.me/ the laptop turns on, so the magic packet starts from the site, arrives to the router and it is forwarded to the correct MAC address, but if i try to turn the laptop on via the router interface, nothing happen, and this was not the case with the old firmware.
Does anybody know if this is a known bug ?
@Ocram, which release did you use for the test, 6, 6E or the beta?
EDIT: I just tested Update-01, 06, 06E and 07B4 and all worked fine for me. Put PC to sleep, WOL from router.....PC wakes. Tested both static and DHCP address for the target PC on 07B4 (just in case that somehow played into it).
Also, I'm not sure I'd trust the WOL Listener app....I grabbed one, standalone 'WakeOnLanListener 2.0', and it didn't see anything even though the WOL was working. It didn't see both the router packet or a packet from my PC wol app. (I use a wol command line app from a remote HTPC to wake up my main HTPC/Media Server and that has been working fine as well).
Hello John.... Can you elaborate on the IPv4 potential performance fix for Comcast customers?
...is this with IPv4 only... Or only for users using IPv6 and IPv4?
From notes:
IPv6 fix for a Comcast buffer overflow condition and a potential performance improvement for Comcast IPv4 connections (both ported from Shibby Tomato)
lastly... Do you have a paypal account for those who would like to thank you for your time on this endeavor?
Thank you for your time.
Can anyone tell me if john9527's fork firmware uses the sdk5 or sdk6 for wireless driver. Thanks I heard the sdk5 has better wireless and throughput
This is my first time installing any version of Merlin. Im coming from the latest RT-N66U stock FW. First. I flashed RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_374.43_2-06Ej9527 without issue. Everything works wonderful, wired speeds are great. Wired is 120/40.
But for some reason Im getting very slow upload speeds on wifi. DL is normal at 120mbps+ but upload is very slow and jumps all over the place, usually at 8-15mbps. The stock fw was uploading at a consistent 38-40mbps on wifi. Just curious if it could be this latest build or something Im doing wrong?
I also gave the RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_376.49_5 a try and its the same thing.
Now Im hesitant to jump back to stock because of the exploit that these builds patched. Do you think tomato would be any different?
Any advice is appreciated.
Did you do a reset to factory defaults and reconfigure the router after loading the new firmware? You should also delete the wireless profiles on the clients and reset those as well. This is because both the router and clients store parameters specific to the code which may change between firmware levels.
If you doubt this can help....please see this post made just today. Different code but same concept.

Your router tries to load from /jffs/ but your file is in /jffs/oldstats/ .
admin@REMOVED:/jffs# pwd
/jffs

Sorry that was a typo. That's an old backup.

Don't believe I changed anything in the beta that would affect the IPTraffic data. If you could reset and monitor it would be appreciated.
I enabled the per IP stats to /jffs on my system as well to monitor for any problems.
Quick question to Merlin.....this data should be maintained over a firmware update, correct?
Storing anything in the jffs partition can be iffy between firmware updates, as some updates will cause the jffs partition to be resized. This is especially the case with the RT-N66U and RT-N16, where jffs can only inherit any leftover space from the total 32 MB flash. So, the file can possibly be corrupted after a firmware update.
