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

[rtn66uftw]

@rtn66uftw - Read again....the N66 is an AP? Then there won't be a leases file (and why the code doesn't try to include the Name field). Now, I'm not sure about the arp table....did you get output from the N66 running the arp command.

Yes N66 is an AP. Running the arp command on it returned nothing special (only 2 lines)

 

[MuppetSoul]

I certainly don't.

I meant the Microsoft telemetry servers are blocked in the script. Should have been more specific. Sorry!

@john9527 Thank you, John! You rock!

If it has only two entries, that's the problem, Let's give this a try.....go to the main router page, select the network view and 'Refresh' the client status. Give it about 1 min, then look at the wireless log.

EDIT: A better idea....just ping one of the clients attached to the AP then check the wireless log.

Many thanks to John and RMerlin

Been toying with the idea of using iPhone Siri+HomeKit to control the Logitech Harmony Smart Hub in my living room via Homebridge.
Anyone come across a good and easy to follow tutorial for newbies?

From what I've gathered thus far, I'll need to install entware or optware, node.js, homebridge and homebridge-harmonyhub.

@kun1he2 It might be better if you create a separate thread for your question as it isn't specifically related to John's firmware and might get lost amongst all the other posts.

Yes....that's the way out. Reset using the WPS button during power on method.

Something just struck me (based on something else I had been pondering recently).

John, do you think the same thing as me if I say ".asusrouter" and "ÙSB"?

Power off the router.....hold in the WPS button while powering on the router.....continue holding in the WPS button until the router power LED starts a fast blink (about 10 sec).....release the WPS button.....router will reboot set back to factory defaults.

(Since you can't get to the gui to do the reset )

Hmmmm....possibly maybe along with a little install script that could copy an existing key file from the router to the USB (do a bit compare) for security?

The thing is, this is a glaring security hole IMHO. Very trivial to exploit with just two lines of code, if it works like I expect...

Not if the check is performed in the firmware....

John or Merlin,
I am using QOS and am wondering if I do not make a rule for a device does the router automatically set the priority to my default setting that I have selected on the QoS rules? I would rather not make a rule for every device on my network.

Thanks in advance!

How do I install this if I'm on Firmware:380.62_1 (Asuswrt-Merlin) RT-AC68U

I get the message http://i.imgur.com/hHYr5Ev.png

which says To comply with regulatory amendments, we have modified our certification rule to ensure better firmware quality....

You need to use the Asus Firmware Restoration tool (same as you would moving to any code earlier than 380.60 or ASUS 380_3xxx).
Then factory reset after it's complete.

That's the intent (note that the ability to set the default is a feature unique to this fork).
One thing you should know about traditional QoS is that the download limits are 'soft'....any really only come into play when the download is at max with multiple clients.

What? Is this new? Reason i ask is because, i went from stock fw, to merlins and to yours awhile back forget which rev but never used the restoration tool. Is this now required to do for now on? If so will you know if you have to use it? I have the rt ac66r. Also thanks for the reply on QoS! I appreciate your hard work on the firm are and thanks for the hrlp and advice!

New if you load firmware 380.60 or 380_3xxx or newer.....you can't got backwards to a level below those listed any longer using the gui to load the firmware. For the fork, as long as you are on a fork level, you can always load any other fork level.

More info here but this started with the 380.x code base.
