we'll be more able to help you effectively if you can tell us specifically where you're stuck in the process.sorry L&LD some of the steps I found where not realting to what I could see in merlin. Can you advise please?
@agentsmith1, sorry, I'm also not clairvoyant this evening.
Please ask specific questions I (or others) can quickly respond to. Otherwise, I may never have the time to respond fully to vague requests. Ty!opologies
I changed some of the settings from below advice but did not finish the sequence. Could not find the brute force option last tab bottom of bullet points.
- Enable Brute Force Protection 'Yes'.
So to be honest I think wiping the router clean and starting again might be best option. I opologise for stuffing it up and potentially causing you or any else grief.
thx yeah opologies again for not being specific enough. Im getting intermiddent dropouts and as mentioned loosing 100meg from router to PC. Ideas ?Now that's a direct question, which enables us to give you a direct answer, because otherwise no one has a clue what you're talking about, which enable us to help you get further.
The Enable Brute Force protection has been deprecated, as far as I'm aware, since the 382 branch. So you haven't missed anything, it's simply not there anymore. As @L&LD has gathered so much info and 'stuffed' it into guides, it's impossible to keep up with all the changes that ASUS is making in its GPLs and the changes RMerlin makes to improve his version of the firmware and our experiences. I'm assuming that @L&LD has a life next to SNBForums, so I might be speaking out of turn here, but that goes for many of us.
There might be no need for it at all. I would advice you to stick to settings advised if you want to make a stable start. These are there for a reason based on experience, and there's actually no need to change them, generally spoken.
