Padavan's Custom Firmware

For what?:) It's cold like an ice, comparing to Broadcom-based devices.

There was a chance to get a finger burn while touching metal parts of Ethernet sockets on RT-N66U.

Ever tried to touch an USB thumbdrive connected to your WDTV Live? :)

It was so scary, I was using a short USB extension to avoid having my thumbdrive act as an heatsink for the whole WDTV.
 
Hi,
totally newbie here.
I am using RT N56 (official firmware) and using my PC as a Plex Media Server. It also running as a webserver via Xampp

I do not want my computer to be running all the time, so I set it to sleep within 20 minutes.
I am able to wake up my computer using a phone app from LAN and WAN. (apparently i set up a static ARP entry via this method)
As of now, I would use my phone app to wake up the computer before accessing Plex or my webserver.

However, I would want my comp to auto wake up when someone opened up plex and wanted to stream the videos in my Plex server.
I found this script here which seemed to be what I wanted, but it was for Asuswrt-merlin.

If I flash Padavan for my router, would I be able to run the script? or is there any other alternatives which I can use?

(sorry, totally newbie. I have never flash a router before)

I can't help with your problem, but I serve my movies from the ASUS itself.

1. Plug in your USB drive
2. Enable SMB server
3. That's it!

I use the Infuse app to playback on my AppleTV/iPhone/iPad, and Plex on my Mac.

Anyone?
 
I took the plunge awhile back and have been enjoying Padavan on my RT-N600. it seems rather stable.

One concern I have, though, is how to get the latest firmware w/ security/stability fixes, etc.

https://github.com/russinnes/RT-N600-Padavan indicates a date of ~5 months ago. Is that considered the latest? If not, where can I get it? Would the nightly link that szaby posted above apply to my router too?

That's not the official Padavan repo. Look here: https://bitbucket.org/padavan/rt-n56u/

However, your router isn't one of the officially supported ones. So the only options you have are to ask the person who has that github repo to build the latest source, or build that source or the official source yourself.

The "nighties" carry new timestamps, but versions are still 3.4.3.9-099. Is this intentional?
Click to expand...
Main releases by Padavan are called "milestones". Nightly releases are done by robots, and marked by their milestone number and diff upon install, like the last one: 3.0.3.9-099_dff9a34. They incorporate all merged till that date changes. Next milestone release will hopefully be done by Padavan. There were a lot of bug fixes and component updates since last Padavan's release, though without drastic UI options changes. Pls tell us if nighties have performance or feature differences in your tests. :D

Is there a WebUI login timeout setting in this FW? If not - why? It seems to be a standard feature on any router or modem. Any other ways to set the timeout to 10 min?
 
Hello guys,

Sorry if this is being asked before, but can someone tell me, for what are ra0, eth2, eth2.1, eth2.2 ?

Correct me if I am wrong, but ra0 is the wireless, eth2 is WAN port, and eth2.1 & 2.2 are VLANs?

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to modify the TTL on this router? I'm planning on using it in repeater mode and I've been able to set it up as a repeater without any issues. I tried to input net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=65 as I had read elsewhere, but when I enter it via telnet (using PUTTY), I've been unsuccessful at seeing the results I was expecting. Thank you
 
I bought this router two weeks ago. The CPU1: MediaTek MT7620A (580 MHz).
The new gigabit ASUS RT-AC52U B1 (release date: 27 March 2017) is the replacement for the 100Mbit/s ASUS RT-AC51U. Nearly identical to its predecessor, except for a RTL8367RB switch. The same switch found on ASUS RT-AC53 and ASUS RT-N65U. It has Ethernet 10/100/1000 4 LAN / 1 WAN and hardware NAT acceleration, too. Unfortunately, the official firmware is quite restricted: Wireless router mode and Access point mode, only. Is it feasible to get Range extender mode and Media bridge mode, too?
I would like to know if the new gigabit ASUS RT-AC52U B1 will be suported by Padavan firmware soon.

https://www.asus.com/Networking/RT-AC52U-B1/overview/
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC52U_B1
http://routerchart.com/asus/asus-rt-ac52u-b1-rt-ac52ub1-351
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/List_of_Padavan_firmware_supported_devices
https://www.redeszone.net/asus/rt-ac52u-b1-ac750/

Padavan firmware is unique in its ability to perform without glitches on MEO (Portugal) ISP configurations (ASUS RT-AC51U). Please, give us support to the new gigabit ASUS RT-AC52U B1 (release date: 27 March 2017).
Regards,
YuriRM

Hi guys!

or

Is B1 for Beta 1 or something?

Any help much appriciated. My Netgear R7000 AP is acting up all weird and I need the 56U as a backup when flashing the R7000 with something new =)
