    bcm_mcast_mld_add:833

    What is "kernel: bcm_mcast_mld_add:833 mc_fdb->rep_list?" I'm getting one of those about every 5 to 10 mins. Can anyone explain it to me? Googling turns up mentions of this going back several years. A "fix" offered is to change the logging parameters but that seems like the wrong idea. I see...

    RT-AC86U Upgrade Path

    Looks Like RT-AC86U is at end of life: - NOTE: all the models supported by Asuswrt-Merlin on the 386_xx series are now officialy on Asus' End of Life list, which means unless there are new major security issues, no new updates will be provided by Asus. What is the...

    IP anomoly

    I have a new printer, an EPSON 4830. It is working wirelessly just fine, but it does not show up in the router's network map client list. It DOES show in System Log -> Wireless log. I can ping its IP in Network tools, I can even go to its web page where I am offered the opportunity to change...

    Sharing USB in Mesh configuration.

    I currently have an ASUS RT-AC86U with an attached USB drive. I am considering a Mesh configuration but wonder if this shared USB drive will remain accessible as I move my laptop around the house, from one Mesh AP to the other. Assuming this works, does the USB drive need to be attached to the...

    Mesh firmware upgrade

    The web page http://router.asus.com/Advanced_FirmwareUpgrade_Content.asp states. I do not understand this. Is there something other than a "manual update?" How does one select an AiMesh router? Does doing a firmware update require one to log into each node to initiate individual node updates...

    the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials.

    Today I could no longer log into the RT-AC86U Asus router, using Merlin, of course. I started with Merlin 386.9 but upgrading to 386.10 did not help. I restarted my laptop but that didn't resolve the issue. I get the expected error "Your connection isn't private ..." I am used to that and...

    Changing Control Channel does not seem to work.

    Using the Wireless web page, I changed my 2.4 GHz band from control channel 1 to control channel 6. I press apply and the web page shows this change, but the "WiFi Site Survey" page continues to show channel 1. The Wireless setup page and the WiFi Site Survey page disagree! Am I doing something...

    Move client host from guest network to regular network

    I have a device that, when I set it up, I selected the guest network to connect to. Now I want to place it on the regular network. I found the device's setup process a bit cumbersome so don't want to go through it again if I can make the change using the router's web page. Can anyone point me...

    Solved RESOLVED! Traffic Analyzer shows no activity

    PLEASE IGNORE! If I can figure out how to delete this, I will. Turns out my NordVPN settings were not reset completely. There is a setting in VPN Client I had leftover. The following was set to Yes and I remember that was something I changed. I put it back to No and all is well.

    Icons on ASUS Router web page

    Hi, My ASUS RT-AC86U shows two icons for wireless-connected devices on the network map page: What is the difference between the two? I am using the Merlin firmware but I suspect that is not important.

    RT-AX86U Hardware Version

    I have an RT-AX86U on the way. Should I check the hardware level before I even open the box? What hardware levels are there for this model? Any problems with older levels?

    RT-AX86U import settings from RT-AC86U

    Hi! I have an AC86U and there is an AX86U on its way. The AC86U has Merlin on it. Can I save some time by restoring settings saved from the older AC model to the new AX model? I would do this after putting Merlin on the new AX.

    Gigabit speeds measured two ways

    I have an ASUS router RT-AC86U. It is connected to Centurylink Gigabit service, directly wired to their ONT. If I use the Speedtest built into the router it generally shows download speeds of about 550 Mbps downloading from Centrylink itself. If I connect my laptop to the router by ethernet...

    Slow AC86U wireless

    I recently upgraded my CenturyLink internet to 1Gbps. If I plug their ethernet cable directly into my laptop I see very high speeds: (846 down, 902 up), very close to the advertised speed. About the same if I go through the router via wired ethernet. Using wireless from the AC86U to my Lenovo...

    not mesh client, can't update it's ip

    RT-AC86U, Merlin 386.2_6. This message is scattered about in my system log: Sure enough, the MAC address has nothing to do with mesh. It's a Kindle. What is special about this device that it generates that message? Why would its IP need updating? After all, there are many other clients that...

    System Name?

    I just changed from an RT-AC88U to an RT-AC86U. (My RT-AC88U died.) Everything is working OK, but when I ssh to the system the command line prompt shows: admin@RT-AC88U-A478:/# (except "admin" is the actual administrator ID I chose) Why does it say AC88U instead of AC86U? It defines...
