    Help with ntwk connect to RT-AC86U USB drive?

    Hi = I recently upgraded my Linux Mint system to the latest version. I used to be able to connect to the router's USB port where I have a 1TB drive plugged in. It worked great. However, now I can no longer connect either via smb or nfs. I've tried a zillion times to tweak my fstab file entry...

    RT-AC86U USB connected drive access denied to Windows 10 client

    Hello! I've been using Merlin based ASUS routers for years now very successfully. However, recently attempting to access the USB connected external drive on the router shows as access denied. It is still accessible from my Linux systems. I've spent many hours trying to diagnose this and...

    RT-AC86U + 384.5 + smb mangled file name help?

    I've been a long time Merlin user (thank you) and use the smb for storage. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 in a vbox on a LinuxMint 18.3 host. In my 16.04 I can access the usb drive in the router and when I ls the contents it returns proper long filenames. However, if I use an rm command the...

    Connection timeout with WISP mode?

    I support many, many SOHO installations across the USA where many use WISP to connect to a host site's WLAN for Internet access. The reason this is done is to keep their "SOHO" network private and secure for its members/employees. And the fact that there is little or NO support from the host...

    A little help setting up ftp access on Merlin?

    Running RT-N66U successfully for a while and I want to upload the nvram-save files for use. I'm using port forwarding on port 21 to one of my servers so I've set the router ftp port to 2021. Accessing by IP:port didn't work so I setup a port fwd/trigger for same. Still no luck. So could...

    Ideas for subnetting w/N66U?

    As I've been using this model router with Merlin firmware for several years now and like it, I have a requirement to split my LAN into two subnets. I realize each subnet requires a router interface and this model only has one. Is there any way to redefine the subnets or any way to interconnect...

    RT-N66U Died???

    My entire network came to a stop yesterday and upon examination I noticed that my router lights were all off. I tested my power cord and its leds illuminates and a volt meter shows voltage at the tip. But when I plug it into the router - nothing, nada. If I depress one of the buttons on the...

    Help with passing a range of ports?

    Hi, I'm using an RT-N66U with the .5x merlin firmware and I'm trying to install a Magic Jack for VoIP. I need to pass ports 49152-65535 to a specific ip. Normally I'd define that in the Server Port forwarding but it appears to want the ports entered one at a time. Is there any way or any...

    Has Anyone successfully setup an Asus repeater with an RT-N66U (or similar)?

    In an attempt to solve my home's dropout problems I just purchased an ASUS RT-N10 (for $4.99 from Newegg). I plan to use it as a repeater in a specific area of my home. So, before I tear my hair out trying, has anyone successfully setup a 2nd router as a repeater with any RT running the Merlin...

    Suggestions for diagnosing RT-N66U router?

    I've had this router for almost a year and a half now and always been using Merlin's software. However, for the past several weeks I have experienced extreme dropouts which I tried to diagnose looking for interference, etc but all to no avail. I even reset to factory and reentered all the...

    CIFS connect - any way to elim name mangling?

    I've been extremely satisfied with the Merlin firmware on my N66U and I do have a USB drive connected that I use for a backup repository. Works fine except the filenames created are mangled (SMB/Cifs users know what I mean). As the filenames contain dates and times for reference I'd like to be...

    I've been using this Merlin firmware versioned router for some time now and it performs wonderfully (Thank you Merlin). I have a 1TB drive connected via USB to this router and I'm able to store my backups on that drive from my Windoze machines. However, I'm now trying to mount this drive...

    RT-N66U SSL Access Question?

    OK - tonight I printed all my config screens on my RT-N66U router and applied the *_374_33_0 firmware followed by a factory reset on the router. Then I meticulously updated virtually all the config screens matching what was printed on the screen prints. So far so good. However, this time I...

    Properly enabling nsf for the USB drive w/merlin

    I'm extremely happy with my N66U w/merlin. I also have a 1TB USB drive connected for backup purposes for my internal systems. So far I have samba connecting fine but when backing up it ultimately times out and drops the connection. From my windows machines if I reference the network tree to...

    Q about port forwarding in asuswrt-merlin

    I've recently installed an RT-N66U router and loaded the merlin firmware. So far so good. I have a host within my network that requires telnet access (comments unnecessary) from the outside for demo purposes only. I've used the port forwarding to try and pass telnet and both port 23 to 23 to...
