    Wireless Connection issues

    Wifi communication is a two-way thing. Asus routers in general (at least the ones with external antennas) are known for their wifi range, so the culprit is probably your baby monitor. Just look at it, it probably doesn't have massive external antennas like the AC68 has. So your options are to...

    Dual core vs Single core routers? AC68U vs N66U?

    Regarding the initial question - I believe the main question is, do you have any AC devices, and if so, do you feel you're not getting enough bandwith out of them. If so, you should consider upgrading. The RT-AC68U is probably the sweet spot for most AC users at this moment - much cheaper than...

    RT-N66U will not enter recovery mode

    Ok, it seems I have managed to fix the router. Had to manually set the IP Address before I could connect via TFTP: CFE> ifconfig -addr=192.168.1.1 -mask=255.255.255.0 -hwaddr=1c:b7:2c:01:02:03 eth0 Device eth0: hwaddr 1C-B7-2C-01-02-03, ipaddr 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0 gateway...

    RT-N66U will not enter recovery mode

    I tried that about 20 times, but the reboot occurs too quickly. the ethernet port is never available. As I said, I tried the procedure you described, with just the Reset button multiple times, and it did not work. Then I tried the other procedure, WPS then reset, as described by Merlin in this...

    RT-N66U will not enter recovery mode

    As I said, I can't even ping the router, so http access is out of the question. Could anybody give me some pointers that are not based on the recovery mode working or any kind of ethernet access to the router, because neither of those is the case for me.

    RT-N66U will not enter recovery mode

    That is exactly what I tried first.

    RT-N66U will not enter recovery mode

    I have a RT-N66U here that is currently not working, possibly due to a failed firmware upgrade. When I switch it on, the power LED lights up and stays on. All other LEDs flash once every 3-4 seconds. When I start up holding the reset button, the router does not enter recovery mode (the LEDs...

    Minidlna logging

    I've been experiencing some problems with minidlna lately - the DLNA server simply disappears, my devices can't access it anymore. Other than that, the router runs fine. I looked at the system logs, but there are no minidlna-related entries at all (I remember when using ASUS stock firmware...

    [RT-N66U] Best firmware for 2.4GHz?

    First and foremost, if your main concern is 2.4GHz quality, you need a firmware based on the Broadcom SDK 5. That means ASUS Stock .2xx, Merlin <= .32, or the (experimental) sdk5 builds of the newer Merlin firmwares. In theory, all of the above should be more or less on par with the old .270, so...

    Prevent minidlna from rescanning after reboot

    I see. Unfortunately, for me, rebuilding the database is often what causes inconsistencies in the first place, because if you perform file operations while minidlna is still scanning, its inode notification system does not seem to work properly. There seems to be another workaround here that...

    Prevent minidlna from rescanning after reboot

    I could live with minidlna recreating the complete database in case it's outdated, if it left the database intact when nothing has changed. So I guess it would be less of a database update/refresh and more of a consistency check. I had the impression that the 1.1.0 feature mentioned in the...

    Prevent minidlna from rescanning after reboot

    I did some more searching, and I found this: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/issues/322 Apparrently, the only way to currently change this behavior is to compile the firmware myself. It seems minidlna 1.1.0 supports a switch that leaves the database intact at startup if it is still in...

    Prevent minidlna from rescanning after reboot

    I have configured minidlna to store its database on a separate partition on my USB disk (loosely based on this post). I was hoping that this would stop minidlna from rebuilding the index every time the router is rebooted, but unfortunately, it did not. On every boot, minidlna simply deletes the...

    Access modem configuration page

    Your PC's subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 too, so you have two subnets, your LAN and your Modem. I have a similar setup which works without problems. If it doesn't for you, maybe your modem will only serve its web interface to devices on the same subnet. You could try to change the modem's...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.372.30_2

    Maybe that's a good thing, that gives the rest of us time to check out how the new wireless driver does on 5GHz. That may help you with the decision whether or not to keep the 270 wireless driver for your next release.

    Xbox360 wireless connection problem

    So to sum up the current firmware options (only listing non-beta, currently downloadable): Merlin 270: 5GHz works, Xbox doesn't Stock 272: 5GHz works, Xbox doesn't Stock 370: 5GHz doesn't work, Xbox works Merlin 372: 5GHz works, Xbox doesn't (?) I haven't tested all of these myself, so...

    possible security holes with RT-N66U

    What options exactly do I deactivate in order do close the hole? I see several Aicloud-related options. Do I switch all of them off, effectively disabling all media server functionality also for my internal network, or is it possible to leave DLNA streaming intact on my LAN and just disable or...
