[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66 is now available

[MarCoMLXXV]

My RT-N66U is running in repeater mode and I wanted to switch off both bands during night hours but for some reason the following command does not work.

# wl -i eth1 off
wl: Unsupported

What am I doing wrong? Never tried it on older firmware versions.

Not sure if you want to do this manually every day, as you're trying to accomplish this from the command line, but you can easily schedule this from within the WebUI. If you want to automate this, just schedule the times when you want to radios to be turned off, like outlined below:

1. Go to Advanced > Wireless > Professional
2. Turn "Enable wireless scheduler" on. A link "Time Setting" appears.
3. Click "Time settings" and the scheduling screen appears (see screenshots in full res in album linked below).

4. Simply click on the times you want the radio(s) to be turned off. (Dark is off, Light (default) is on)
5. Save your changes and you're done.

If you want to automate this for both bands, select the second radio on the first screenshot and repeat the same steps.

I have a RT-AC68U myself, but I assume this looks exactly the same at your model.

Hello don't knowhow if this is the right placenta to ask this Open VPN question. I'm running the last Merlin firmware on May Ac68u router andere wensen trying to start my open vpn server item says: initializing the settings of the openvpn server this may take a few minutes. And then nothing happens anymore and open vpn server does not start. Merlin you do an awsome job by the way! Somebody an answer?

On the RT-AC 3100, how frequently does the router check the signal for WiFi channels automatically to ascertain the best channel?

Coming from and older router running tomato FW, I recently purchased a RT-3100 and upgraded to AsusWRT-Merlin. I have a modem in bridge mode connected to the WAN port of the router which I would like to access from the LAN (wired or wireless) to get my line stats. How can I accomplish this using this FW ? I had an option in tomato FW GUI which allowed this, I believe it added a rule to IP tables.

Thanks.

Assuming your modem's Web GUI is at 192.168.100.1...


Add the following lines to /jffs/scripts/nat-start

#! /bin/sh
ip addr add 192.168.100.2/24 dev vlan2 brd +
iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o vlan2 -d 192.168.100.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
logger “nat-start: Set up cable modem access”

Make the script executable

chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/*

I have a AC68U as router and AC66U connected as repeater over 5GHz.
I have no neighbor 5GHz band and use channel 36 so no DFS on it.
They are only 7m from each other with free view, connection reported as -35dB 1300Mb/s
Anyway the AC66U becomes randomly (30min-2hours) unreachable during 1 min or so.
During those blackout the AC68U still "see" the AC66U as connected...very strange.

I have then move the link to 2.4GHz band and connection looks stable for now (more than 5 hours)

Is there known incompatibility on the 5GHz band with this 2 routers?

Thanks

Edit : and logs on both router show absolutly NO trace of what happened after this 1-2min blackout

 

[jeff3820]

I know of 4 RT-N66U routers that have "compatibility"/inconsistent/slow/frequently dropping 5GHz WiFi...doesn't happen with all devices but with many. Not sure about the AC66U. My 68U runs 5GHz perfectly.

Hello, since last week I have a problem with my ISP DNS(?) connection.
With direct connection from my PC to my ISP modem everything is all right, but my router (AC3200) is losing dns connection from time to time and I need to use google dns.
Any idea what is wrong?

I know of 4 RT-N66U routers that have "compatibility"/inconsistent/slow/frequently dropping 5GHz WiFi...doesn't happen with all devices but with many. Not sure about the AC66U. My 68U runs 5GHz perfectly.

Thanks a lot, I never realize that since I have AC68 and AC66 and my devices was switching from one network to an other.
I have spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot/compile WIFI drivers for some dongle I have for my Rapsberry PI. The culprit wasn't my drivers but the AC66 itself I can't beleive the time I have weisted trying to solve multiple wifi issues because of this damn AC66u.

I have simply shut it down and now no more wifi issue on my PI dongle since it connect to the AC68u
I will try now to buy a second AC68u.

Thnaks a lot @jeff3820 for opening my eyes

Recently I have seen wifi drop on mt RT-N66U. I use it as a 2.4 gHZ access point, and since the previous update the wifi sometimes simply disappears. This happens a couple of times per week, I haven't been able to find a pattern. When it drops none of my devices can see the network, even though the router itself claims it is up, and the logs show nothing out of the ordinary. A power cycle (or if I feel patient simply re-submitting the wifi settings) solves this. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Or am I looking at hardware issues
(Now at 380.67_alpha2 with the same problem)
[edit] I do have the power settings low- but still have plenty of signal when it works [/edit]

Issue kept coming back- so I downgraded to 380.64_1. Let's see if that helps

 

[RMerlin]

380.66_6 is now available.

  - CHANGED: Updated OpenVPN to 2.4.3
  - FIXED: Corrupted firewall rules if enabling SSHD brute-force
           protection and Respond to WAN Ping at the same time
           while in Dual WAN mode.

 

[jhoff80]

380.66_4 was working fine on my system for a while... until two days ago when all of a sudden NAT loopback stopped working. It was on the Merlin setting, but I've tried changing it back and forth between Merlin and Asus with no success. RT-AC66U, and I have tried 380.66_6 with no change. I did a search and most people who had this issue were able to fix it by switching from Merlin to Asus NAT Loopback, but since that didn't work for me I'm sort of at a loss. Any suggestions?

 

[RMerlin]

Any suggestions?

If it suddenly stopped working, then chances are your problem is not the NAT loopback, but the DDNS/hostname you are trying to use.

 

[jhoff80]

No configuration has changed there either though. The hostname still works fine externally to the network. Dynamic DNS through Namecheap is still working fine from the router firmware itself. And using the internal IP for the PC connects as expected as well. Also, there's multiple sites hosted on this server using different software for each of them, and the problem is universal. Like I said, I'm a bit at a loss.

 

[Morac]

380.66_4 had been working fine for 22 days except for the traffic analyzer issue I was having. Upgraded to 380.66_6 and still had that issue so I powered the router off and on and that seems to have fixed it.

Strange that a soft reboot doesn't really fix any problems. Only a hard reboot does. Reminds me of the really old days

 

[The Cool Dude]

Hi Everyone.

After running 380.65_0 for 131 days 4 hours 36 minute(s) 29 seconds I upgraded the firmware on both my RT-AC87U routers to 380.66_6.

I had to do a reboot of both routers before the upgrade as it failed right away. After rebooting, the upgrade to 380.66_6 went smooth without issue. I did not restore factory defaults on either router. Hopefully I won't run into any issues and have the same rock solid experience I had with 380.65_0.

Thanks Merlin! You are awesome!

 

[aspen63]

I also have problems with NAT loopback with 66.4 and 66.6 releases. When I switch to cellular, all starts working. Changing settings to either Asus or Merlin doesn't help.
