Strange log entries AC68U...Help?

[canuckle]

AC68U running RMerlin's .34_2 Quicksilver, and in the system log I'm getting a ton of errors...is this pointing to something I should be concerned about? Everything seems to be working normally, outside access to my NAS is fine, speeds seem good. I'm also running an EA N66 and it's working fine as well.

Here's a sample...

OK cool, could be the iTunes server on my NAS (Syno 1512+).

Is it detrimental? Does it bog things down?

As far as I know, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure however if miniupnpd will still assume a version of 0, or will refuse to forward the port.

Try a Google search on the error message itself (that's how I first learned about it), you might find more info about it.

 

[canuckle]

Thanks RMerlin. I did a fair bit of searching, and will continue. I'll also reboot the NAS on the off chance something got whacked with the router changeover this week (stranger things have happened, lol).

Hey Canuckle,

Did you ever get any further with your investigation. I also have a RT-AC68U running Merlin firmware. Here is my log message:

Mar 29 23:04:02 miniupnpd[696]: sendto(udp): Operation not permitted

When this message is being logged my router will also eventually 'crash' and lose internet. It also mucks up my VoIP adapter, causing incoming calls to fail to be answerable.

I believe I have tracked it down, at a high-level at least, to the Plex Media Server and/or its plug-in running on my FreeNAS box. If I disable the plug-in, the problem goes away.

I don't believe it is a problem with the router as I experienced this same behaviour with my previous Netgear WND3700.

I don't know if this will affect your situation but I have more than a few apple devices with FindMyMac activated.. I opened some Wan port triggers..

Apple icloud 5354 TCP 5354 TCP
Apple iCloud 4500 UDP 4500 UDP
Apple iCloud 5353 UDP 5353 UDP
Apple iCloud 5355 TCP 5355 TCP
Apple iCloud 5352 TCP 5352 TCP

That removed the miniupnpd errors I had in my log..

I see the same thing, and definitely related to Plex Media Server.

I found the following post looking for an answer, but don't have the necessary skills to try it (couldn't even find a pf.conf)

http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=504&view=next

Plex now uses it's own server discovery called GDM (Good Day Mate) which multicasts on 239.0.0.250 and I think this may be related.

Any experts out there willing to help?

 

[john9527]

The lastest 41beta's gives a little more information in the log......give anybody any ideas how to eliminate this noise (I get an entry about every minute with upnp enabled)....

Removing.....thought I had it figured out, but didn't

I keep on getting the same type of UPNP error as everyone else. I disabled G'day mate protocol on Plex server, disabled DLNA on both PLEX and NAS, but still have these errors with the AC68U. Thanks to Merlin's firmware no random reboots, but the log file drives me nuts with these errors almost every minute...

 

[Raiu]

I've got some weird ones too. Not really sure what this is. Took an hour nap and found this.. There's about an hour of it each second.

Plex was causing a lot of these log entries for me. I actually completely removed Plex and although I am not getting near as many of these log entries, they do still occur.

 

[philfna]

I have plex installed, but have ports forwarded to the plex server. I disabled DLNA, G'DAY protocol, but it seems to still persist.

 

[philfna]

I got sick of the errors no fault of merlin's, and just disabled upnp, I created a manual assignment to my laptop and my plex media server. Then I just used port forwarding to the media server and to my laptop. No more errors, and well upnp is disabled with no real consequences I can think of. Perhaps a bit more secure even? Who knows, but no more errors in the log file now that upnp is off.

Just did the same. Problem solved. Thanks.

 

[RMerlin]

I don't know anything about how SSDP works, but if I were to venture a guess, I'd suspect it's Plex not realizing that the UPnP server was restarted, and requesting operations that it's no longer allowed to do. Have you tried just restarting whichever machine was running Plex to force it to properly re-register with the router's UPnP daemon?

I bet it's your hard disk going to sleep, and unexpectedly disappearing from the kernel's USB driver. Nothing to worry about.

 

[philfna]

I have tried rebooting the plex server, and it still persists. But it should okay I guess...I have no clue on how SSDP works either. I am just happy it is stable, and no longer reboots thanks a million merlin.

I turned on uPnP again, and just connected with android phone got these:
