[Preview 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 early test builds

[TheUntouchable]

When I open the DDNS site on my router I get this error message:
"Unauthorized registration request!"

Seems that my router is not able to update the ddns name anymore after the update.. What could I do? =/

Anyone? Is this a general problem with the ddns from asus with the new build or just a dirty update problem?

Not quite an answer to your situation, but RMerlin has said that the ASUS DDNS is tied to the router MAC. I changed routers and got that exact message, so I just switched to dynu.net DDNS. There are scripts for various DDNS providers on the Wiki.

I actually use dyndns, which is supported by the ASUS firmware (Merlin, too).

Personal choice of course. I choose not to pay for DDNS.

Wow, thanks for your answer.. But I am speechless.. Somehow the update really did change my Mac address oO I left the standard router name sine the beginning which has a part of the Mac in it and now that is different to the Mac..

 

[Grisu]

did you try with different "name".asuscomm.com?
or contact asus, maybe they have an email-address for ddns releated problems e.g. if you want to change your name to a different router.
otherwise it will get free after 3 (or 6) months not updating it.

I am speechless too if this really happened to you!!!

Just had a deeper look at the Mac addresses of each adapter, br0, eth1, vlan1 and 2 have the right Mac, eth0 has a different one. I have a VDSL modem on the wan port and using pppoe. Possible that the router is copying the Mac from the modem or something like that?

I was Previously running 384.4_2 and was getting a loss of connectivity (mostly external) after anything from 29s of minutes to many hours. Sometimes it fixed itself after a number of hours.

I noticed some bridge reconfiguration in the logs.... Spanning tree activity... And disabled the protocol. This seemed to resolve my issues.

I then upgraded to the alpha which also worked well.

I don't yet know why the stp disable helped or if it's down to another errant device on my network

Are you running bridges in repeater mode? I saw the same thing after upgrading to 384 branch of code on all of my asus routers. I disabled stp on the central router, but my problems persisted.

I was too lazy to change the other two repeaters to standalone routers, disable their stp and then set them up as repeaters again. For now I'm back to 380 codebase. I also noticed some dhcp irregularities and arp issues with the repeater units. I'm running igmp on all of them for my video streams. Waiting until 385 stabilizes a little more before i dip my toes in again.

Not sure if its possible or how much work it would entail but i would like to see "hotmail" added to the list for email alerts. I dont use gmail/aol and the other two ive never even heard of.

It would be way more work to add hotmail to the firmware than it would be for you to create a gmail account and set it to forward all email alerts to your hotmail account.

A person like you should try the aimesh on official build. I don't have a need to try it yet but i wondered. It looks promising but hadn't heard feedback.

No bridges in use as such..... But sonos implemented its own black box mesh network.... That's one suspicion. The other one is the cable router (in modem mode)... Because.. Well it's isp provided and many have bugs...

But this is all speculation. If I get a chance I'll try more debugging

_________________________________________
Had to roll back to 384.4.2.
Neither wifi printer was showing in the client list. After a router reboot, they'd show for a few seconds, then gone with the alpha installed.
After rollback, all was well. Note that both printers are on 2.4Gh.
The NAS drive problem mentioned is somewhat resolved. The latest Win 10 update didn't help, but a restore point rollback and reinstall seems to have partly addressed that issue.

Factory reset the router and start from scratch.
I had the same problem with the 5300.

Same problem with official ASUS FW 384.20648 on AC5300

RMerlin, is it possible to not have to use a ddns-start script and just tell the router what its address should be, without having to input anything else? my ISP is providing DDNS as a free service and I don't have to configure anything other than pick a name on their management website. i see that the list of supported services keeps expanding, but my domain/ISP hasn't been added yet. it's not a big problem, the only thing that it would be nice is to not have to manually edit the exported .ovpn file every time i have to recreate it.

Commits log shows GPL 384_20648 was merged. Cool.

Thanks for all you hard work, Eric!

Running 384.5_alpha2-gcc44562 on RT-AC87U. One of my wired cameras shows up in the client list as wireless, but when I login to the camera itself it indicates as expected that it is connected wired, not wireless. Maybe the constant TX/RX rate of "1" is a sign that something is strange in the client list with this device?

Tx/Rx of 1/1 is normal. When my TV goes into power saver mode, it will show 1/1 constantly. Once it comes out of power saver mode, those values increase.

That's interesting... now I'm wondering whether the camera is really communicating on the wired or the wireless interface. I'll check for a link light on the switch (on another floor), but I'm not sure if that would give me a solid answer even if it's on. The only reason I'm trying to figure this out is that I'm trying to keep as much camera traffic off my wireless as possible because they are... always quite talkative.

There's very little changes in that GPL.

my ISP is providing DDNS as a free service and I don't have to configure anything other than pick a name on their management website

After picking name on their manage website, can't you start using that hostname/link? My previous ISP has something like this, since they know which customer pick which hostname through login in their website, they can link that hostname to my IP automatically without having to configure anything on my router.
