FTP logging isn't enabled by default. You would have to create a vsftpd.postconf script to enable it.

But I was told this was vaporware. 41E8 is published as well with a fix for the chrome layoutNG issue. @amita

Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.

 

[sbailey4]

41E8 also fixes the new Edge layoutNG issue too (of course since its also Chromium but just sayin. ) BTW the new Edge is actually pretty nice browser now.

Is there an idiots guide for installing this firmware on an AC66U? I downloaded the latest zip file which is like 800GB but I don't see a .trx file? Also, any chance this has AIMesh support? TIA

 

[L&LD]

@silicon101, 800GB? What did you download?

Try finding your model here instead (this is john9527's developer downloads, but they have proven stable for many here).

Download just the archive you need, not the entire folder (which is why it was so large).

No, there's no AiMesh support.

 

[silicon101]

Thank you. Installed latest build without issue. Nice to see this older model still getting updates. Now I just have to find my glue gun and resolve the broken power button issue.

Try this via SSH:

cd /tmp/etc
/usr/sbin/gencert.sh
service restart_httpd

Ok this fix the certificate but after rebooting goes back again

OK try this:

cd /tmp/etc
/usr/sbin/gencert.sh
tar -C / -czf /tmp/cert.tgz etc/cert.pem etc/key.pem

mkdir /jffs/https
cp /tmp/cert.tgz /jffs/https/cert.tgz

nvram set https_crt_save=1
nvram set https_crt_file="/jffs/https/cert.tgz"
nvram commit

service restart_httpd

EDIT: If you wanted to store the certificates in NVRAM (like they usually are) rather than jffs you could do the following instead:

cd /tmp/etc
/usr/sbin/gencert.sh
tar -C / -czf /tmp/cert.tgz etc/cert.pem etc/key.pem

rm -fr /jffs/https

nvram set https_crt_save=1
nvram set https_crt_file="$(base64 /tmp/cert.tgz | tr -d '\n')"
nvram commit

service restart_httpd

It is working after reboting, but secure webui is slower now

"Stablishing secure connection.." time has increased and some times pages are not properly drawn

Yes. If you import the cert.pem file you created into your browser's "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" certificate store the speed will return to normal.

Upgraded RT-AC66U A1 - Qty3 , from ASUS Merlin V380.70 to ASUS Merlin LTS Fork V374.43_41E8j9527 via ASUS Restoration Tool and "nvram erase" procedures previously, and setup manually for each AP and all appears to be working properly.

Is it possible to set pixelsrv certificate as https certificate for the webui in the same way? There is a script on GitHub for automation process but doesn't support mips
