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

[tasar]

I have installed this fork Merlin fork 374.43_2-11E1j9527 and it works perfectly untill you choose System Info
There is no possibility to login again. The router is functioning as normal but no login is possible. I know with a reset/reboot it is possible to login again.

Same here when i choose "Tools", have made a full reset and now it work. As i wrote before, i can only make a WPS/Power on reset, nothing else work, no reset from GUI and no reset with the reset button.

@ John, you have an email. And many,many thanx for your help and time, so dont say "sorry" !!! I must say, sorry.

My fault in not reminding you to do the factory reset after loading the fork.

Glad it got sorted out, but sounds like something is still amiss with the gui/reset button not working. I'd like to understand more about what happens when you try those methods. I'll follow up with PM.

@john: the reset worked. Now the gui works flawlessly.

Now i have config my new AC68U. I also copy the scripts from my RT-N66U to 68. The scripts for WOL and LED ON/OFF but wake on lan doenst work. I used an App on my phone to wake up witch work fine with N66U. I use an DDNS service for wol.
The sripts where executable and LED ON/off work
Whats wrong that WOL doenst work anymore?

EDIT: Now i found out, that WOL work only, when the phone is connected to GSM net. When i switch to WLAN, it doenst work? Why WOL dont work when iam in WLAN? With my N66U is works both with the same settings ...

Here the service-start and wake.sh scripts:

#!/bin/sh

#script for sending WOL packets when traffic to specified ip's
sh /jffs/scripts/wake.sh&
arp -i br0 -s 192.168.1.254 FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF


#!/bin/sh
cru a lightsoff "0 22 * * * /jffs/scripts/ledsoff.sh"
cru a lightson "0 7 * * * /jffs/scripts/ledson.sh"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

INTERVAL=5
NUMP=1
OLD=""
TARGET=192.168.1.254
IFACE=br0
MAC=FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
WOL=/usr/bin/ether-wake
LOGFILE="/var/log/ether-wake.log"

while sleep $INTERVAL;do
NEW=`dmesg | awk '/ACCEPT/ && /DST='"$TARGET"'/ {print }' | tail -1`
SRC=`echo $NEW | awk -F'[=| ]' '{print $8}'`
DPORT=`echo $NEW | awk -F'[=| ]' '{print $27}'`
PROTO=`echo $NEW | awk -F'[=| ]' '{print $23}'`

if [ "$NEW" != "" -a "$NEW" != "$OLD" ]; then
if ! ping -qc $NUMP $TARGET >/dev/null; then
# echo "NOWAKE $TARGET was accessed by $SRC, port $DPORT, protocol $PROTO and is already alive at" `date`>> $LOGFILE
# else
echo "WAKE $TARGET requested by $SRC, port $DPORT, protocol $PROTO at" `date`>> $LOGFILE
$WOL -i $IFACE $MAC
sleep 5
fi
OLD=$NEW
fi
done

Did you turn on 'Accepted' packets logging on the Firewall tab?
Also, are you obscuring your ip address and mac with the broadcast address and all FF? If not, I didn't realize that would work, but I'm always learning something new

@john9527 : Any chance you'll be moving to 376 codebase? It seems pretty stable.

Right now, no....no plans to do that. There are several changes that started with the 376 base that would probably make many current fork users 'unhappy'.

 

[Chrysalis]

indeed.

I like the current wifi version (#a region) and that we using radvd which is superior to dnsmasq for ipv6.

Yes, all settings excat the same like the RT-N66U
But i come on home now and give WOL about LAN/Wlan a try, and what shall i say: It work. I have nothing changes like my last post yesterday. Possibly a problem with "No-IP.org" yesterday? But why it worked yesterday over GSM net but not on LAN/WLAn? shirt happens, main thing it works

 

[john9527]

Actually, I think there is a possible explanation. When you changed routers, you most likely were issued a different address by your ISP. After you update your DDNS, it can sometimes take a while for that change to propagate to the DNS servers you were using when trying to connect (and it may update at different times depending on how the owners of the DNS servers have them configured).

If you are on a cable system for internet then what John says is true. Every time the CMTS sees a different MAC address in line with the modem it forces a public IP address change.

Please no!

 

[MuppetSoul]

Clearly, guys here are not fans of 376 or 378.

Anyhoo, I have a request if you ever have some free time.

1. Disable the yellow flashing warning in the upper right corner for allowing guest logins. The option is located under: USB application > Servers Center > Network Place(Samba) Share / Cloud Disk. I believe Merlin disabled this warning in his later builds. Its definitely disabled in 378.52_2.

LOL....I've actually had a patch for that from around V2 or V3 of the fork....at the time everyone said don't do it I'll put it V12 now that Merlin has gone that route as well.

In the meantime, you can apply the following as a custom style sheet in your browser (save it with a .css extension)and it will suppress the '!'...In IE, it's under Internet Options>General>Accessability>Format documents using my style sheet

/*
! User Style Sheet
*/
div#notification_status.notification_on {
    visibility: hidden !important;
}

Two things

1) a sincere thank you to john and merlin. This router is a beast in part due to all the hard work you guys put in.

2) maybe this is a dumb question, and I don't think I know enough to even ask an intelligent question, but I'll try. Using this firmware, can I set it up so that my wife's ipad thinks it's in gb so she can watch those shows on Netflix? In know you can do this with vpn but I don't know how, or if it is possible on this machine (ac68u) or something that can be set up for one client on a network. Thanks again for all your help.

  • Merlin's latest revisions for OpenVPN policy based routing (including exception rules)
    Added OpenVPN backports through Merlin 378.54_alpha4
  • Fix for OpenVPN not restoring DNS servers with some provider configs
  • Wait for NTP sync before starting VPN servers/clients
• New Fork Updates
  • Removed the gui option to 'Allow local subnet forwarding' and made this the default
  • Fixed all the System Log pages so the scroll bars will only be visible under IE if they are needed
  • Fixed the wireless client count on the Sysinfo page to include guest clients
  • Client RSSI on the Wireless log page is now '??' if the information is not available or invalid (limitation of the older MIPS wireless drivers)
  • Upstream maintenance for radvd
  • New media server option to disable the media scan that occurs on every boot (will only update on change to media files)
  • Disable the exclaimation point alert if allowing guest access for Samba or FTP

1. You can use a DNS service like TV Unblock (https://tvunblock.com/). All you need to do is add the DNS information under DHCP Server and you are done.

2. You can selectively enable DNS redirects for specific websites in dnsmasq rather than for *all* your internet traffic.

Don't forget to change the IP address with the one you get from your DNS service.

OR....you can use the public lists for Netflix DNS servers (do a google search for Netflix DNS) and use the DNSFilter option under Parental Controls to assign that DNS server to only your wife's ipad.

OR...subscribing to a VPN service will work where their servers are in the locale you want to appear to be from. Starting with V11 (and enhanced in the upcoming V12) you can set only specific clients to use the VPN connection.

Sweet. I haven't explored parental controls because I have no kids.

Out of curiosity: Is there a way to enable DNS redirects for *all* clients for only specific websites in the Asuswrt-UI?

For example: In Tomato, there is a 'Custom Configuration' box for Dnsmasq.

I think I know the answer but you're obviously more knowledgeable, yoda. I mean, John.

Not through the gui.....but you can do the same thing with the scripting/configuration capability. You would make a file, dnsmasq.conf.add with those same statements and place it in the /jffs/configs directory on the router. If you are on Windows, I'd recommend installing a copy of WinSCP to do the editing and copying (makes it very painless).

There's information on the wiki on what's available and using the scripts/configs....here's the link for the config files

May the force.....oh, nevermind
