    Implement disable/enable for Port Forwarding rules?

    Would it be feasible to implement Enable/Disable for each existing Port-Forwarding rule? I recently discovered by chance that I had many undesired rules towards my NAS. Probably my mistake enabling UPNP sometime. But I could not distinguish between my own rules and the UPNP created rules and...

    Synology Mail Server Big Problem, Be aware!!!

    I can tell you I'm mostly happy with my female server, she always responds to HELO. It's when the DATA part comes that she proves a bit unreliable. And our conversations always end with me having to tell her QUIT!

    System log date, after nightly reboot

    Ah, got it. I really like your FW by the way.

    System log date, after nightly reboot

    On my RT68U I've set the Merlin "Enable Reboot Scheduler" for nightly reboots at 5:30am (timezone is set). It seems sensible to me to have that. But just after the reboot, before it does the NTP sync but after the WAN connect, the system log date is always Aug 1 02:00am (what year??). Does the...

    Scripts, so if I understand correctly...

    Got it. Thanks. I did a bit more of RTFW (read the ***ing wiki ;-) I already bought the ultraflat 32GB USB3 flash stick for the AC68u, so now I need to find uses for it. I probably might want to play around with Entware. Although anything outside of the webui or not surviving fw resets...

    Scripts, so if I understand correctly...

    In order to benefit from extra scripts in this firmware, several requirements are - plug in a USB2 stick - install Entware Is that correct? Or for simple small scripts (such as nightly reboot) can I do without this? I did already manage to overclock my RT-AC68U from 800,666 to 1200,800. CPU...

    Asus-Merlin FW vs Tomato or DD-WRT for RT-AC66 or RTAC68 Routers

    As a new RT-AC68U user I found this a very educative thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I understood well then Asuswrt-Merlin offers/retains - HW acceleration (for my 100mb fibre glass, with an option to 500mb) - Paragon drivers for fastest NTFS access to USB disks Is that right? That...

    For RT-AC68U: Which repeater & dongle is best?

    Internet over the powerline is something I use for some years, to great satisfaction actually. I got a set for free from my provider, for the IP-TV signal. The first "200" ones were okayish, but since they upgraded my set for free to the newer faster "500" ones it's been perfect. Theoretically...

    For RT-AC68U: Which repeater & dongle is best?

    Thanks SEM for your thinking with me. You've given me lots to think about. Re the reason for wifi-wifi extending instead of wired-wifi: pure laziness on my part. Having an American style timber-framed drywall house (exceptional in these parts), I have no excuses for not wiring all the way up to...

    Choosing a new router.

    I just got the Asus AC-RT68U (for 149 Euro). The white model, nice :-) Coming from a Netgear N4500 I must admit I am looking forward to switching brand. I know Asus from motherboards for many years of self-built PC's. My current main PC has one. Very good quality and support. (Except for USB...

    For RT-AC68U: Which repeater & dongle is best?

    I just bought a RT-AC68U to replace my ageing Netgear WNDR4500. I love the firmware/config specs and reviews of this thing already. Now I need a couple more things: 1. which is the best USB2 dongle I should get for direct connect to the RT-AC68U? 2. which is the best wifi-wifi repeater for...
