    RT-AC86U - USB 3.0 drive spinning up every 24 hours for... nothing?

    Well it's been enough time without the daily spin-ups to confirm that the culprit was indeed Download Master. Either I didn't notice it with the N66U or something is behaving differently. As such I'm going give Transmission a try and follow Merlin's guide. Hopefully it works fine without those...

    RT-AC86U - USB 3.0 drive spinning up every 24 hours for... nothing?

    It's definitely weird. I had Wireshark running by the way and I'm leaning on this being unrelated to the spin-ups that made me start this topic, just a coincidence in timing (it was about 1 minute later, so it was not so exact). I filtered the Wireshark logging to only show SMB protocol...

    RT-AC86U - USB 3.0 drive spinning up every 24 hours for... nothing?

    Thanks, but I've been almost exclusively accessing it through Solid Explorer on Android (configured to use SMBv2). There were no errors when I attempted to access it just now and worked fine. It's just that this message appeared when I wasn't even trying to access anything that is being shared...

    RT-AC86U - USB 3.0 drive spinning up every 24 hours for... nothing?

    Well now I'm more confused... It hasn't spun up with Download Master disabled yet, but instead I got Samba-related error messages in the log around the same time (currently set to SMBv2): Mar 17 23:54:45 smbd[12922]: [2020/03/17 23:54:45.780728, 0] smbd/negprot.c:706(reply_negprot) Mar 17...

    RT-AC86U - USB 3.0 drive spinning up every 24 hours for... nothing?

    Hello, I've been troubleshooting an issue I've only recently noticed since last weekend. Trying to figure it out by myself so far, but the window for returning the router is nearing an end (ends this Friday), so I'm looking to others for help... I've replaced an RT-N66U (which is now working...

    Someone MAC spoof and access my Network? Double ARP with diff IP Range

    So I'm currently troubleshooting my ISP's proprietary router (which I believe is built around a Cisco ME 4600, I found that the CLI commands are similar) due to a problem with the 2.4GHz signal, which stops responding after a few days. After trying everything (different channels, SSIDs etc) I'm...

    [Release 382] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 is now available

    Did so this week, no good. Asked me for screens of the IPTV tab (which I sent both from RT-N66U and RT-AC86U) and later told me they could escalate the problem to see if it could be fixed in future firmware, but not anymore since I returned. What kind of reasoning is that? Apart from the...

    [Release 382] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 is now available

    Any idea why RT-AC86U has no IGMP Snooping option? My IPTV channels freeze without it. RT-N66U from 2011 works fine and has this that RT-AC86U hasn't: Is the router itself unable to have "Efficient multicast forwarding" or does this option need to be un-hidden somehow? It looks like I have...

    RT-AC86U hit the FCC

    Decided to go ahead and purchase this one to replace the RT-N66U and I've lost the ability to have proper IPTV signal from my STB... freezes every 5 seconds. Culprit is the absence of IGMP Snooping option in IPTV. Latest Merlin fw didn't have it either... Is it hidden somehow somewhere? No way...

    RT-AC5300 vs RT-AC86U (gamer, coming from RT-N66U)

    I've been using an RT-N66U for 5 years now and since my ISP upgraded to 1000 mbps/200 mbps service I've decided to take a look of what new routers are out there and that'd be best as a gamer who cares the most about stuff like pings/bufferbloat etc. I'd like to continue with Asus for the good...

    RT-AC86U hit the FCC

    I have an RT-N66U running latest Merlin firmware and am slated for 1 Gbps/200 mbps service upgrade. How much in terms of benefits should I expect in upgrading to this one? Been using IPTV option for ISP router connecting to LAN4 and direct connection of the Asus to the ONT without any problems...

    ASUS RT-N66U 200 Mb Fiber sporadically capping at 115 Mb? ISP says all fine

    Hello Deepcuts, indeed you're right, I should've mentioned I used speedtest.net and yes my ISP has provided me with their own speedtest.net server when I called them. I still had it capped. I also do have Kaspersky AV, the simple one without Internet Security, for what it's worth. Perhaps I...

    ASUS RT-N66U 200 Mb Fiber sporadically capping at 115 Mb? ISP says all fine

    Hello, I've recently upgraded to a 200mbps download/100mbps upload fiber service and the first problem I had was that my download speeds were capped at around 120mbps with old original Asus firmware. I've updated to Merlin's 380.57 firmware (380.58 has a bug in the IPTV section and I cannot...

    Lose connect HomePlug (Asus PLX32): Reboot of Homeplug or Router helps - Whose fault?

    Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to try that the next time it goes down.

    Lose connect HomePlug (Asus PLX32): Reboot of Homeplug or Router helps - Whose fault?

    Losing connection on HomePlug: Reboot either Homeplug or Router solves - Whose fault? I have a homeplug (Asus PL-X32) set downstairs next to the main router and a 2nd one set upstairs to connect a PC to the internet. Lately I've been having permanent drops roughly every 1 or 2 days only on the...

    Asuswrt-Merlin - custom build of the Asus RT-N66U firmware

    Well I certainly wouldn't be one, but don't other custom firmwares allow any value? But it's very strange how it seems to use VLAN ID 0 when using preset profiles, but not letting do the same in Manual. Seems like an obvious mistake, but so does Selpix's case. He says he can use Internet just...

    Asuswrt-Merlin - custom build of the Asus RT-N66U firmware

    Hey again Merlin, I wonder if would be simple enough to remove the limitation imposed on the VLAN ID values one can put at http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_IPTV_Content.asp when using ISP Profile > Manual? For some reason it only allows 2-4094. I wonder why not 0-4094? Recently I've found that...

    Asus RT-N66U - Using VLAN = LAN3 + LAN4 stop working?

    LAN3 and LAN4 with VLAN ID 10 doesn't work. I read the router becomes confused or something because of using VLAN ID 10 for CPU/Internet as well... I just found this picture from openwrt about Asus WL-500 Premium default config that shows VLAN 0 for the LAN ports. So I guess that's what I'd...

    Asus RT-N66U - Using VLAN = LAN3 + LAN4 stop working?

    Thanks for the reply. I see I may really need to go for cfw, moreso after what I found through further tests: I experimented with the ISP Profile presets the router comes with and found Singtel-Others gave the necessary VID for Internet (10), while LAN3 still worked as normal. When I was...

    Asus RT-N66U - Using VLAN = LAN3 + LAN4 stop working?

    Ok so I contacted Asus support directly and all they could say was to install fw 3.0.0.3.112, even though I had mentioned it was the one I had beforehand. Then after asking again all I was told was to ask for warranty... I'll rephrase my question, so anyone, even those who aren't using VLAN...
