    Need a script that auto reboot if internet is down

    Hello @Martineau , never too old to learn :) It did work! Your script detected the WAN connection was lost, retried al four IP's and decided to restart the WAN after which the connection was re-established. I tried to use the "code" option, but because of some weird coincidence I was blocked...

    Need a script that auto reboot if internet is down

    HI @Martineau , me, being the optimist, since so far my router did not need a reboot yet while using your V1.10, I added to the startup options the 'wan' option, just to see if restarting the WAN would be enough to get the connection back again. if a lost WAN connections occurs again. This is...

    Need a script that auto reboot if internet is down

    Hi, I tested like you asked with V1.09 like this: I changed the start method back to 'sh /jffs/scripts/ChkWAN.sh ping=1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 &' If that runs in the background only the first IP is logged as failed, but when I run it as ./wan-start from my telnet window, I DO see the...

    Need a script that auto reboot if internet is down

    Hi all, a quick follow-up: Yesterday I changed the way the script is started, like this: 'sh /jffs/scripts/ChkWAN.sh ping=8.8.4.4,8.8.8.8,9.9.9.9,1.1.1.1' This is the line in the wan-start script. And this morning, the script worked again :) and rebooted my router when shortly after the...

    Need a script that auto reboot if internet is down

    Hi, just a quick update on my first WAN recovery reboot thanks to your script :-) I did start the script from 'wan-start' like this: ' sh /jffs/scripts/ChkWAN.sh & ' and it was pinging 8.8.8.8 every 30 seconds sucessfully. However, I could read from the logging that at one point the ping...

    Need a script that auto reboot if internet is down

    Hi, thanks for your reply and advice! I worked with UNIX (and lookalikes) many moons ago, so for me i was a bit rusty to get things on the router at first, also my use of telnet is really incidental and only on my local network. I do have another beginners question about your script: In the...

    Need a script that auto reboot if internet is down

    Hello @Martineau, thank you for you work! I am using an ASUS RT-66U using Merlin's firmware 380.70, and I recently changed from provider here in Spain. The previous provider only needed a wired WAN connection to their antenna and was using DHCP for my IP and a check on my MAC address to see it...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    Hi, here we have the exact same thing with my RT-AC66U: Not all devices, just one tablet (Pipo M6Pro) is having this randomly disconnecting from the 2.4 GHz. The Pipo is using an AMPAK WLAN 802.11 b/g/n chipset for the WiFi, 00:22:F4:xx:xx:xx. When I reverted back to the .54_2 version it was...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    Hi all, I just upgraded my RT-AC66U like normal and everything went A-OK. From the web-page I selected the newly downloaded, un-zipped ROM and clicked Upgrade. After a while, like normal, it asked me to manually reboot the device, I power-cycled it. After about 1-2 minutes it was back on...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.53 is now available

    Hi Merlin, I upgraded this version 378.53 in my RT-AC66U, coming from 378.52_2. I simply flashed it like any regular update, and all seems OK. BTW, no major thing, but the showing of the DDNS-name in "Network Map" after being somewhere else in the main menu, is now working on my PC after...

    The rmerlin donation thread.

    I bought him a few beers as thank for all his work. I like my RT-AC66U so much better with his software in it (378.52_2) , and also all the information (general and ASUS too) on his site, may thanks!

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.52 is available

    Hi Merlin, Forget this, this DDNS-thing happens only on my WIN8.1 64 machine using Firefox. When I do this on my old, trustworthy XP-Pro, all is OK. Maybe it is related to some of the HTML-code inside the router, but certainly not important? I come back on the 'cosmetic glitch' I mentioned...

    Hi L&LD, You are right, sorry for my incomplete post. I updated my earlier post, and while typing I realized it may be the tab's fault... Un saludo, Satbeginner

    Curious 802.11N issue

    Hi, I have a tablet (Pipo M6 Pro) that starts of using the 2.4Ghz N-speeds, but looses the ability to access websites after a while. However, if I run a 'ping' from the tablet to the same website, thus does work without a problem. All my other devices are able to keep using the 2.4Ghz wifi at...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.52 is available

    Ok, I looked it up at the Asus site, they do make things confusing: In the AC68U specs they talk about: "ASUS AiRadar intelligently strengthens wireless connectivity using beamforming technology" And with the AC66U the specs say: "ASUS AiRadar intelligently strengthens connections to...
