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

[jrmwvu04]

Thanks for your suggestions .
I did install the fresh firmware and then reset to default by using the restore button in settings and also by pressing WPS button during start and it was completely reset . ( not sure how to do NvRam reset in Forks firmware).
The results were same.

I then tried manually all the channels which could give me good results , one important thing which i observed was 20 Mhz was giving me highest MB 20-30 Mpbs but after sometime again that would come to 6-8 Mbps.
I have even tried router reboot and checked if this helped , but no its the same result .
Attached screenshot of my router settings for 2Ghz .

Let me know if i am missing something or if there are any other suggestions .

Are you using b or g clients? If you aren’t, I would set the 2.4 radio to N only. Beyond that, what you describe still sounds to me like either hardware failure or interference. I don’t know why else it would work for a while and then start to bog down. Do you live in a crowded space? I know that sometimes there is a prohibitively difficult situation, but it could be worthwhile looking to migrate as many things as you can to 5ghz and drop 2.4 altogether. I did that some years ago because I lived in an apartment complex and had problems not unlike yours. A neighbor who runs their microwave constantly can cause you more problems than you might guess.

Unfortunately, mu AC68U dead. I go to Ubiquity and have some issues I don't have on the Asus router. On the Asus, while I mount SMB, and start copying files on it, I can switch on TunnelBear or NordVPN анd local network was untouched by this. Everything was good. Now, when I SMB to my local NAS, and switch on NordVPN or TunnelBear - connection to my local network stops. I remember, that Asus has some sort of option "VPN passthrough" or sort of. Is this a thing I am looking for?

I have purchased an AC56U, but due to COVID-19 the seller can't get to the post office to post it. I'm afraid WebUI goodies for John's fork will have to wait a bit longer

Sorry!

Yes, thanks, I will, but first I need to know exactly what this was on Asus. After that I can continue my investigation.

Probably what you are looking for are the various options in below screenshot:

As for my absence from the forum....
Some of you may remember that my father passed away last year. Without going into a lot of detail, let's just say that having to deal with his estate has been a challenge, both from a logistics/work-to-do and personal point of view. As a result, I needed to limit some of my activities. While things are still far from complete (and now complicated by the pandemic), I'm going to start easing back into my 'fun' pass times....participating in this forum being one of them.

Thanks to everyone that stepped up and provided support as well as for your understanding.

Very glad to have you back in ANY amount! This news is a very bright spot in an otherwise uncertain time (and it’s raining where I live)!

Keep forking on!

 

[steelskinz]

Of course we are still using your build (got an N16).

Take care John !

@john9527, so glad to have you back. This is truly a good day.

Welcome back John

 

[atkinsom]

Great to have you back John. I've been using your Dev builds and have been more than thankful for your behind the scenes support during your difficult times. I guess I'll post the first question on the new build. In the change-log you mention Support for FTP/TLS mode, including automatic rule generation when another FTP server is present on the network.
Does this mean we don't have to do below in the GUI in order for the ASUS FTP/TLS server to work with multiple FTP servers in the same environment? The rule will be created automatically? Thanks again for your great firmware.

Yes....that's what it means. Will be created auto-magically for you (as part of the internal firewall setup. It won't be visible in the port forwarding settings)....

Welcome back John, you have been missed!

42E7 stress test working well on RT-AC68
DoT seems a little snappier than 41EA with Cloudflare

@john9527 42E7 working great here as well. Welcome back and thank you for all of your hard work!

I had to call back a customer today that was using an RT-AC56U in Bridge Mode with the development build 42D5 for another issue and mentioned this great news for their router. They barely hesitated to ask me to upgrade it to 42E7 for them.

Over OpenVPN (social distancing, of course), the upgrade went without a hitch. That was almost 6 hours ago now, no issues.

Great job @john9527!

I’m having an issue connecting to my router GUI with https. First with a Pixelserv-generated cert and also with a router self-signed cert. But it’s only an issue connecting from iPadOS 13.4 with Safari. Connecting from Firefox on Windows 10 seems fine.

httpd will hang and watchdog will restart it during the connection attempt. I’m wondering if anyone else sees this behavior? It could be an iOS thing, or it could be something about https with OpenSSL 1.1. Not sure since it works on Windows.
