    Avoiding turning my AC68U into a brick with 3X size upgrade?

    I've been updating my AC68U (H/W version: A) with Asuswrt-Merlin for some years all fine so far. I've been particularly keeping an eye on upgrades since the press gave me the Asus routers being targeted story, true or not. I'm currently using 386.4 and can see we 386.5 and 386.5.2 but both of...

    Hopefully simple vlan question

    Hi, I'm looking to get my first managed switch and one of the things I hope it can do is provide another network with a different address range is this possible? To be specific, I have a 192.168.1.x network at home but it would be great if I could also have a 192.168.0.x network and devices be...

    Virgin Superhub 3 connectivity issues

    Hi, Anyone got any advice or words of wisdom please. I'm in the UK with VirginMedia and I've been using this fork for a couple of years on my N66U. When I first started Virgin had supplied a Superhub 1 and that worked really well (in modem only mode) with the N66U, no issues. Then in March...

    Forced same password for LAN samba as WAN FTP?

    Right I've just upgraded to .40 and got everything working - nearly. In the previous firmware (36_beta1-sdk5) I had complex passwords for user accounts on WAN FTP and simple ones for LAN samba. It now seems if I change the FTP password it changes the samba one also. Am I doing something...

    Update firmware or not, that is the question

    I would appreciate opinions or advice on this. Since christmas I've been using 374.36_beta1-sdk5 on my RT-N66u. It works very well indeed, the only issue I know about is dropping connections to our kindles but everything else is fine. Reading the .40 thread, it seems many people are...

    Access JFFS via samba or FTP?

    Is this possible? I've just had my first dabble with Jffs which worked fine but I had to use nano which I found as a Linux idiot to be truly awful. I would dearly like to see and edit what is on there in something more familiar. Can anyone advise? Cheers, Bob.

    N66u and USB data stick temperature too hot?

    I've just got a 16GB Kingston data traveler plugged into my n66u. It is a new device and seem stork fine. I was concerned about how warm USB devices get when plugged into the router so got one with a metal body and no light which I thought might help. It still gets too warm for my comfort and...

    Typed commands info please

    Hi, Could someone point me at information on how to type commands into an RT-N66U. I keep seeing people say to type this or that that but not where/how. In particular how can I save my static DHCP settings so they are easy to put back after an upgrade and factory reset? Where is the...

    Wpa2 enterprise or personal

    I have a bit of a mystery. Inssider reports that my rt-n66u is using wpa2-enterprise and yet the config inside the router is set to wpa2-personal. Anyone else getting this? Using 374.36_beta1-sdk5. Cheers Bob.

    How to restart Cherokee web server

    After several days of trying I have managed to get Cherokee running on my RT-N66U and it seems to work fine until you either re-boot the router or worse still, dismount the USB device. I would expect Cherokee to restart for either of the above automatically or at least require an easy one off...

    Please someone how do I mount USB data stick?

    I have spent a couple of days trying to get the FTP server working but I cannot get past the first hurdle, my rt-n66u will not mount the drive. I downloaded some PC software and eventually managed to format the drive to Ext2, I then plugged it into the router and it lit up, so did the blue...

    N66u LAN only intranet - possible?

    I would like to set up a LAN only intranet from my n66u that cannot be seen from the wan side probably using a USB device, is this possible? Nothing too clever only basic HTML. What should I use for storage. The big worry for me is fire, I've seen so many solid state pen drives get too hot...

    Just upgraded n66u to .36 beta 1 sdk5. Hmmmm.

    Just upgraded my n66u for the first time for over 6 months in the hope it would fix 5g which was unusable on the previous build. First the good news. The 5ghz is far more stable, doesn't fade out now and doesn't keep switching between 20 and 40 bandwidth, it keeps the 40. The not so good...

    N66U is there a firmware version I should try?

    Hi, Season's greetings to everyone especially Merlin. I've been using Merlin build 3.0.0.4.354.27 for many months. Everything works fine for me except 5GHz which is useless. Obviously, I would like to fix the 5GHz but not at the risk of poor 2.4GHz performance. I pop into the forum from time...

    Kindles rt-n66u and Merlin 3.0.0.4.354.27

    I've been using this router with same firmware for months while 5ghz gets sorted and had no problems to speak of. Now, suddenly our 3 kindles are having problems but the laptops and iPads on 2.4ghz are all working fine. All the kindles have their connections fail at the same time even if they...

    Is anyone able to use 5GHz?

    I am finding the 5GHz wireless network to be pretty useless. I had a set of issues with one router and got Amazon to swap it out thinking it was faulty but the replacement has the same problem. The router is set to 40MHz width and there are no signals from neighbours at this frequency. Using...

    Repeatable crash entering reserved IP addresses

    With my new replacement router I keep getting a crash when entering reserved ip addresses in the DHCP config. The cause is either copying and pasting the data as opposed to picking mac addresses from the pull down list or, it is the length of the text name in field 3. The crash is severe and...

    RT-N66U totally ignoring wireless setting why?

    Hi, I had this proble with .260 firmware that came with the router and now its exactly the same on the latest Merlin beta. I have the 2.4GHz network set to 40 MHz on channel 11. This will work for a time and then it will decide it doesn't want to do that anymore and goes to channel 1 20MHz...
