does that mean the only solution to my problem is

nf_conntrack disable

?

Unsure, my issue was/is “protocol xxx is buggy”.
No issue here with conntrack.

Anyone else having issues upgrading the RT-3100 model from RT-AC3100_386.1_alpha3-g874b3ed69d to RT-AC3100_386.1_alpha3-g88808c14f7? I use it as a node, first time when I updated it, it fell off the aimesh and my main router could not find it. Factory reset it and couldn't find it still or couldn't ping the router.

If I factory reset it and hook it up to my computer, I can get to the web interface that way. Ended up having to roll it back to version RT-AC3100_386.1_alpha3-g874b3ed69d.

Had the same problem using the the ac3100 as a node. Had to roll back to the earlier version too. Its been stable since the downgrade.

I remember having those messages on 384.14 or 15... cannot recall. It seems like it was due to a cirucluar loop. I was having high CPU usage as well.

I came up with this script and ran it at boot. Do you use wireless backhaul? Do you see any items starting with "wds" in your ifconfig command?

#disconnect wds interfaces
for item in $(ifconfig | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" "} /wds/ {print $1}')
do
       logger "Disconnecting $item ..."
       ifconfig $item down
done

@juched I have it is set to ethernet backhaul option.

What's flowcache? And is there a problem if I disable it?

 

[Treadler]

What's flowcache? And is there a problem if I disable it?

HW acceleration	Runner: Enabled - Flow Cache: Enabled

See under “Tools > sysinfo”.

From what I read, it’s a speed up function of our routers - above my pay grade
Ive left mine as is, except for the log being spammed, all is running smoothly (shrug).

 

[Paul Smedley]

Interesting one here - using an AX88U connected to my ISP - with AC88U and AX58U as aimesh notes (connected via ethernet) - all on the latest alpha3.

Speedtest run on the AX88U shows 270 Mbps - but devices connected via LAN or WIFI to it are only getting 80-90 Mbps. When connected via wifi to the AX58U - I get full speed.

Hoping that the next GPL update will fix this - otherwise I'll try a factory reset (currently a dirty flash from 384.19)

 

[GHammer]

Applied the newer alpha 3 to my AX86 (Router) and AX58 (Node)
I had to manually set the MTU for my WAN connection or there was no Internet available.
Then, I noticed there was also no IPv6, I did a null change on a couple of setting there and rebooted the AX86. IPv6 was alaive and well afterwards.

More concerning to me is that the node seems to be trying to connect to the router via wireless. Over and over.
The AIMesh is set to Ethernet Backhaul Mode and the Connection Priority is Ethernet Only.
Yet, I get this in the logs. 84 is the 5 GHz MAC address for the node while 81 is the 2.4 MAC.

Turning off the Ethernet Backhaul and setting Connection Priority to Auto stopped the connection attempts and therefore the logs.

I can't wait to see Merlin 386 beta with finalised revision of AX88U binaries... I guess a couple of weeks at least...

Merlin is doing things pretty quick, it is asus that drags the wheels across the finish line. So merlin can only go as quick as asus at this point.

LOL - I am like a kid in the candy store waiting on firmware updates/enhancements to come out.

 

[Kingp1n]

So, I'm looking into taking a jump to this alpha on my AX88U. Before I do, can anyone confirm is cake works on the alpha fw and it seems PIA is fully working as well. I see here folks are doing dirty upgrade with the new fws without any isssues.

Also, question with the new aimesh 2.0, in the past i had multiple gaming devices that would automatically connect to the nodes (over WIFI) and would cause alot of lag when connected to them. Is it now possible to force the gaming device to only connect the main router and not the node? I thought I read somewhere this is now possible where you can pick where your device connects too.

Finally can the nodes still be connected wirelessly or only via ethernet?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

I had cake installed and had no issues with it. Yes, you can now tell your devices, which note to connect to under Aimesh and you will see a bind icon. That will bind it to that particular node. So far it's working well.

Haven't had any major issues with it. Only issue two issues I am facing currently are with the RT-3100 router. 1 it doesn't look like it's connected under nodes, even though it is. 2. I tried updating to the newest firmware and had to roll it back due to it dropping off the aimesh nodes and not seeing it.

Just to clarify, can you bind the client device to the main router if you dont want them to connect the node as well? Thanks again!

You can. You can bind them either to the node or the main router.

Does anyone else experience any USB problems with the latest alpha build? My USB drive is dismounted at night which in turn unloads Diversion and restarts dnsmasq. Here is the error from the system log:

I got some strange issues with alpha 3 and 40996. I usually stream TuneIn/Spotify on my Google Home speakers, but with beta 3 it only works 10-60 minutes before it all suddenly stops playing with no reason. No such issues at all with Alpha 2. Can't see anything blocked or errors in the systemlog, SkyNet or NextDNS when it happens. Also one time when I was in the GUI, I suddenly got thrown out to the login page when I was active.

I found that the CPU working more active in alpha 3 and I tried to catch some snapshots of processes using the "top" command, if that can be a clue:

• 28.7% avahi-daemon: running [RT-AC86U.local]
• 22.5% httpd -i br0
• 12.2% cfg_server
• 14.8% watchdog

Dirty upgrades from 384.19, so maybe time for a factory reset?!

I have this. BRAND NEW AC86U only has ONE version on it before. CPU going crazy, and memory down to around 26MB!
My graph is much crazier than yours though, its all over the place and the animated progress bars are changing all the time, up and down...

Don't have any addins installed. I had just moved my older AC86U onto my parents address so wondering if an upgrade there would be the same as this would be the "unclean" router as nto factory reset for a couple of merlin versions now.

Went back to previous alpha3 and was fine again straight after.

Merlin is aware of the CPU spikes...This was his comment about them in another thread.

spdMerlin - spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

Sorry, not $9, but $7 was right... my test file was wrong. But with the substr to strip off the ending ), it works! I'll either strip off the) or just add it to the if :D

Please help - I just did a very dumb thing - I had 386.1 alpha 3 on my ax88u and went to flash 386.1 alpha 3a but grabbed 384.19 by mistake and flashed. Now none of my network ports will activate. First 3 leds light up white and 4th led lights up red again with no port activity. Please tell me there is a way to fix. Thanks...
