    Suricata + "kernel: protocol 0800 is buggy, dev xxxx"

    Hi everyone, I've read here in the forum quite a bit on the subject of people having the above error, and most have fixed it (those who succeeded) either by disabling various Guest Network or LAN access in Guest Networks, or disabling some QoS, disabling some IPv6, etc. I myself have never...

    DHCP reservations: easiest way to export (from one Asus router) and import (into another router) ?

    As per title: playing with the new AC86U I want to put in place of the AC5300, what's the quickest/easiest way to clone the (long) DHCP reservations list I have in the latter ?

    Has anyone successfully used collectd to monitor temperature / thermal values ?

    Hi to all, I've already in place a collectd-influxdb-grafana chain that monitors a few metrics (network, mem and load) on my Asus RT-AC5300. I'm now in need to retrieve also the CPU thermal value. I've looked here in the forum: getting it via CLI is as simple as: cat /proc/dmu/temperature...

    Switching from RT-AC5300 to RT-AC86U

    Hi, I'm currently running an RT-AC5300 since a couple of years with absolute no problems, and I can now get an almost-new RT-AC86U with a very good deal. To start with: I only occasionally use wifi in the room (uninhabited basement) where the router is located and have no special speed...

    Can't stream Sky (SkyGo app) if my Android phone is connected directly to my Asus RT-AC5300

    Hi, I'm facing a very weird situation. My current setup has an Asus RT-AC5300 updated to the latest 386.2_2 Merlin. Long story short: I can't use the SkyGo app on my Huawei P20 Pro to stream live contents, I always get an error. I can stream in 4G. Also, for the sake of curiosity I'm...

    Apparently the box is querying flagged DNS domains by itself

    Hi, so, now that I've put in place a dns queries tracking system via Diversion/uiDivStats that tracks what domains each LAN clients queries for, I have made a step forward in investigating the following issue. As a recap, I have Suricata installed on my RT-AC5300 via opkg/entware. I'm...

    Querying DNS requests by clients

    Hi, I have Suricata installed on my RT-AC5300 via opkg/entware. It's logs are forwarded to a box where they're processed by Evebox who in turn then presents them in its GUI. This flow was stopped since december until yesterday, and now that's been reactivated I notice that I'm signalled alerts...

    Hi, my home network is currently setup like this: Draytek modem <--> business firewall <--> Asus Merlin <--> managed switch <--> unmanaged switch <--> business wireless access various device sales are connected along the way, some cabled some wireless, some trusted and some not. I would...

    What TLS traffic did 384.5 introduced towards asuscloud.com on TCP port 5601 ?

    Hi to all, since updating to 384.5 on my RT-AC5300 I've got my peripheral ZyWALL logging denied outbound traffic from the RT-AC5300 WAN IP towards IPs belonging to asuscloud.com. Suricata logs them as follows (e.g.): TLS: TLS 1.2 - aae-sgweb886-vx.asuscloud.com - C=TW, L=New Taipei City...

    Old discussion: does lowering TX power using 384 code base work ?

    I know this has been asked many times in the past when the slider had actually no effect. Has this changed with the recent update to 384 ? Just to be clear, I'm not interesting in increasing the power, rather the opposite. Peppe

    Can't disable VPN client

    Hi, I'm running 380.58. Today I was trying a sustained file transfer from the WAN side to the LAN side of my AC68U, and I noticed that the speed was extremely poor (well below 1MB/sec). After ruling out anything else with a few tests, I found out it's the router itself. And indeed it's the...

    Is there any way to customise the behaviour of the WiFi On/Off button ?

    I mean something simple, like turning on only one of the two bands instead of both. But perhaps achieving this (if ever possible) would also equal to allowing some more flexible action (scripting ?). If relevant, my device is an RT-AC68U.

    About disabling NAT: can still it work as a router ?

    Hi, My Asus RT-AC68U is currently the first point of connection for several of my machines. It has some services running on his own also (openvpn client and server, samba server, media server, etc). As part of experimentation, it's usually behind some pure firewall (Watchguard, ZyWALL, etc)...

    What features/functions are lost when converting to "AP mode" ?

    I've recently started to experiment with pure firewalls in my home network (Watchguard, ZyXEL, etc), and I'm hence pondering the idea of converting the role of my RT-AC68U from router to "AP mode". It's though not clear to me what do I lose in terms of functionality in doing it. In my current...

    RT-AC68U: lowering the wireless TX power

    Hi, just to check whether there's been any recent update about any possible way (whatever relative new firmware/distro/fork) to make the Wireless TX power slider on the web gui real and work (it actually is simply irrelevant, tx power stays the same whatever value is set). My intent is to...

    VLAN tags out of the WAN interface

    I'm trying myself too to separate traffic on my RT-AC68U (running Merlin 378.50) between "everything" and guest WLAN. I just got a used ZyWall to put in front of the Asus, so the first thing I'm trying to understand is whether I can read the VLAN tags out of the Asus' WAN interface (connected...

    Anyone successfully using snort on AC68U or similar ?

    I've spent some hours yesterday on this issue. I've installed Entware on a dedicated USB stick (I tried with Optware first as this was already installed, but the snort package there was too old and couldn't find appropriate rules). The installed package "as is" needs several tweaks to...

    AC68U: what are my options to "lower" the tx power ?

    Hi to all, I've been reading quite a lot today among several threads here, and was left with a feeling that I hope is "not" confirmed. I just got my AC68U, and one of the winning points over the Nighthawk R7000 was the ability to lower the tx power. I discovered early that with either the...
