    Can Verizon CR1000B work with other brand MoCA adapters?

    I am considering connecting the two floors of my home via the existing coaxial cable using MoCA. For that, I am considering using Verizon's CR1000B router that was given to me for free with the Verizon Fios installation as a MoCA adapter, so that I can buy just one other MoCA adapter. I was...

    R6330 in bridge mode suddenly refuses to connect via Wi-Fi to the "main router"

    For about 2 years, I've had the following internet configuration at home: ASUS RT-AC86U (with Merlin firmware) being my main router, and Netgear R6330 used as a bridge for 2 Ethernet-only devices: desktop+SMB-file-server and an MFP printer. After moving to a different place, I've restored the...

    samba share from router-attached HDD

    Thank you for that idea, I don't know how I hadn't thought about it. And yes, you are right, it does seem to be a problem with the desktop PC's SMB client. (It worked when I connected the laptop to that Netgear bridge via Ethernet. Since I've discovered that almost a month ago, I've been trying...

    samba share from router-attached HDD

    I have an RT-AC86U router with an attached HDD (USB3). I created an SMB share. I can access it from a laptop and a phone. However, I have problems accessing it from a desktop that is connected to the same network via ethernet & Netgear R6330 in a bridge mode. (This router connects a few...

    Question about security protocol used by RT-ACU86U

    These are the screenshots from the Wi-Fi survey page ( /visindex.asp ) for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, respectively. My router (shown in read in both cases) is RT-AC86U. I am just curious, what is meant that my router has "AES" (and not AES-CCMP)? As far as I understand, "AES" is just an encryption...

    In what time zone are the parental controls?

    First of all, thank you, @ColinTaylor for suggesting these commands to check the rules. The rules look fine, but after that initial incident, I didn't experience this problem. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to look at the iptables at the time of the incident, as my kiddo needed to start the...

    In what time zone are the parental controls?

    That's what I expected, but, something doesn't compute. There was no message changing to DST, but a bunch of processes reported restarting/reloading: Mar 12 03:00:30 miniupnpd[2803]: shutting down MiniUPnPd then ovpn-server1 also restarted (causing dnsmasq to restart and reread its...

    In what time zone are the parental controls?

    I encountered a strange problem with Parental Controls -> Time Scheduling: After the change to the daylight saving time on March 12 (in the US), it looks like the scheduled times remained in the non-daylight saving time. I have a computer for which the offtime is 21:00-7:00, and now it gets the...

    failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60s)

    I also had this issue in late November. As I discovered from the log later, for several days in a row ( I saw 3 days, but I didn't see the onset of those , I was getting errors dnsmasq-dhcp[30491]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60 s) Those were...

    Any conflicts between ASUS Android router app and Merlin firmware?

    I am wondering if anybody has seen any real conflicts between the ASUS android app for controlling routers and Merlin firmware? I am not talking about the obvious differences in functionality (and some things not available in the app), but only in the things that might get the router getting...

    What does "The For ALL DEVICES flag of Prof 1 has been set to DISABLE" mean?

    I observe it on RT-AC86U with the latest (386.7_2) Asuswrt-Merlin. However, I saw it in relation to other ASUS router models, so, I assume the meaning of this log message is the same across different models, isn't it?

    What does "The For ALL DEVICES flag of Prof 1 has been set to DISABLE" mean?

    I've recently noticed this message in the syslog: kernel: The For ALL DEVICES flag of Prof 1 has been set to DISABLE While trying to google it, I've found it in a bunch of posts on different forums, but I cannot find any mentioning of what it means (and when is likely to appear). It is not...

    Relatively high load with idle CPU on ASUS RT-AC86U with ASUSWRT-Merlin

    Thank you for that link! (Having worked with different *nix systems for many moons, I feel weird seeing these erroneous load numbers.)

    Relatively high load with idle CPU on ASUS RT-AC86U with ASUSWRT-Merlin

    I am not experiencing any problems, so, at this point it is just a curiosity. I've just noticed that the "load", as reported by top (1) and can be seen in /proc/loadavg is consistently (over the past 20+ minutes) sitting above 2.70 (sometimes spiking to over 3.00), while the CPU is 99.x% idle...

    RT-AC86U w. Merlin "disconnects" RT-N66R in media bridge mode

    Thank you, @Tech9! That's helpful! (That info should be in the pinned threads. But, I am guessing, not that many people are using it as a media bridge...) I hope to have time to play with this in about 2-3 weeks. Do you remember if there were any critical issues fixed/changed between 380.66_6...

    RT-AC86U w. Merlin "disconnects" RT-N66R in media bridge mode

    I am not quite sure what "two issues" you asked about. (Are you referring to my posting a few months ago about the scanner-computer connection being lost over time in this setup, and requiring a refresh from the computer side?)

    RT-AC86U w. Merlin "disconnects" RT-N66R in media bridge mode

    I have RT-AC86U running Merlin 386.2_2 as my main router. I also have an old RT-N66R that I am using in a media bridge mode, - to connect a few devices in a different room - via Ethernet. Every so often (from a few days to a few, 1-4, weeks), RT-N66R looses its connection to RT-AC86U. (Reboot of...

    Connected device not shown on "Network Map" -> Clients list

    Not really. It soundss like it just happens, and nobody has any idea - why. After some initial investigation, I have not been playing with it much,

    Problems reaching network-shared drive through VPN

    Thank you to all who responded. Is there a way in AC-86U with Merlin 386.3_2 to declare the hosts connected from VPN being a part of the local network? (I think I've seen such an option somewhere, but not sure on which router.)
