    Merlin FW & Chrome

    Lot's of other browsers let you access https connections without proper certs in place, Chrome seems to be a little more strict,

    Odd issue with performance with Steam - 378.54_2 - Resolved

    The last major steam update changed the network bandwidth settings in steam back to their defaults. I had to change the download center and maximum rate back to their appropriate settings (in the steam client options).

    Bad hardware or software issue?

    My RT-N66U has a lot of nice features and RMerlin's firmware always seems to make the most of them. I was however left with the need to use reboot scripts to keep the connectivity and wan->lan performance consistent. In order to end the spurious performance I have tried been running an...

    Packet received with own address as source address: Is it on the Wi-Fi adapters?

    You may want to try changing them to separate ssid's. This is a common cause of the log entries your concerned with.

    Packet received with own address as source address: Is it on the Wi-Fi adapters?

    Do either of the other access points use the same ssid as your RT-AC66U?

    Best firmware version for AP mode with RT-N66U

    Just to add further to Nullity's suggestions. Any assessment of a given firmware version can't be made over a short period of time. I'd suggest that a least a week or more trial period be given so that a reasonable aggregate of the devices performance can be seen. While signal strength...

    Best firmware version for AP mode with RT-N66U

    Thanks for your input everyone. I have been using john9527's firmware for the last couple months and would recommend it as well for the same reasons. I didn't think there was any security issues that significantly effected 3.0.0.4_374.35_4-sdk5 when used in AP mode. That and the region and...

    Wireless professional settings

    To the best of my knowledge wireless network connections are not capable of having the same consistently low LAN-side latency that can be expected from wired Ethernet connections. Being able to get a wireless connection to indicate it is connected at what should be the maximum rate for that...

    Best firmware version for AP mode with RT-N66U

    From what I've read in the past the final sdk5 version of RMerlin's firmware was recommended for AP mode. 3.0.0.4_374.35_4-sdk5 would be the final version. Has the general sentiment changed any? Is there a version that would offer any advantage to Wifi performance (in AP mode) over...

    How to track monthly gateway data usage totals?

    My isp is reporting my monthly data usage has suddenly more than doubled. The only change I have made is flashing john9527's version 10 firmware. I see no reason to suspect the change in firmware could cause such a drastic increase in wan activity. So I'd like to find some sort of simple...

    New option in DNS WINS Server setup question

    If you look at the router logs you may see all local domain searches are being forwarded to your wan dns, regardless of the forwarding being disabled or enabled. The feature may be broken at the moment.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

    I've noticed the following appearing in my system log following the flash to 378.50 to my RT-N66U: --- Feb 9 22:24:22 dnsmasq[566]: using nameserver x.x.x.x#53 for domain local --- I'd post the entire relevant set of log entries, but the security system triggers and prevents it. The...

    Problem rt-n66 with cable modem dcm-475

    Has the dcm-475 modem been bridged by your isp? In non bridged mode the dcm-475 router may be attempting to assign a 192.168.1.x address to the asus which would be problematic, while the dlink routers generally use a 192.168.0.x address range although there are exceptions. Are you powering up...
