    I made a tutorial to help those who are interested to transfer a local backup to a remote location using Rsync through a SSH tunnel between 2 Asus routers. What should be an easy exercise on a normal Linux environment is a little bit more complex in a router environment, mainly because the...

    Processes and priorities...(No problem here).

    No problem here. I'm just curious to know how the device handles the priority of the processes running on the router? This is a router, therefore I would expect the device to first route IP packets (and use the QoS to prioritize within this priority). What about disk management, multimedia...

    I'm trying to automate my remote backup process by using rsync. The actual command is the first line below: Admin@1080-Router:/jffs/scripts# rsync -avz -e "ssh -p xxxx -i /jffs/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key" /mnt/My_Book/Backup/ admin@xxxxx.asuscomm.com:/mnt/My_Book/Backup-1080 sending...

    remove port mapping 5001 TCP because it has expired

    In my router log file, I have thousands of these: I think I used to have this port used by a SlingBox, but no more (the SlingBox device is still on the network). What do I have to check to find out what the problem is exactly ? Thanks

    Dropbear/ssh without remote password

    I want to Rsync through a ssh tunnel without entering the remote password. From my reading, in order to do that I have to generate a pair of RSA keys. In AsusWRT/Merlin, the ssh engine is called Dropbear, and the program used to generate the key pair is named Dropbearkey. dropbearkey -t rsa -f...

    Smart sync/Sync Server vs rsync

    For those who had a look at the thread "WD My Book 4Tb attached to RT-AC68u & Fw:376.48_1" the final goal was to use 2 ASUS routers, including one in a remote location, attach a USB drive to each of them, backing up on it my stuff, and then send this backup on the disk on the remote...
