    WIFI Calling

    Note - this isn't a VPN as most would consider - this is set up between the handset and ATT specifically for VoWIFI and VoLTE traffic only - this happens in the background, and normally doesn't need any special settings in the Router/Firewall for most home networks.

    WIFI Calling

    And note - even on the same operator, implementations can vary - I've got a Mint Mobile sim card that works fine on iPhone 11 Pro, but drop that same SIM card into my OnePlus Nord N20 5G, and WiFi calling fails to register... My primary line is ATT - and there they use IPv6, with L2TP/IPSec...

    WIFI Calling

    When looking for assist on WiFi calling, it's important to note if it is Android or iPhone - there are subtle differences in how the feature is implemented, and this also goes towards which mobile operator is in play. The challenge with WiFi calling is that is it part of the IMS specification...

    Possible to have one drive formatted as two partitions, mounting as two network drives (for backups)?

    TimeMachine support - APFS is the present and future... new TimeMachine backups on the sparse bundles are formatted natively as APFS internally - this is something to note if one has older Macs that don't support APFS... Over the network, AFP has been deprecated now for years, SMB/CIFS is the...

    Router.asus.com being forced to https in Firefox again

    How is this a firefox bug - hint - it's not... Browsers are getting very particular with regards to certificate handling... this is not a bad thing...

    Knot Resolver vs unbound?

    knot replaces BIND as a reference implementation... unbound is still a very good choice, as many know the mechanics and work with it...

    Current plans regarding separate version branches

    That was my intent on my post - basically keeping the head above water on potential security patches if possible.

    News RT-AC68U End of Life Announced by Asus

    Can understand that - Linksys kept the WRT56G on their product line card well beyond their "best purchased by" dates...

    News RT-AC68U End of Life Announced by Asus

    There's a lot of ways to define that one... 1) End of Sales - product is no longer built, and is pulled from the channel 2) End of Life - generally no more HW support for RMA, etc 3) End of Support - SW generally goes well beyond EoSale, EoL, for security fixes... It's not a major surprise...

    News RT-AC68U End of Life Announced by Asus

    It was a good run for that device and it's variants... We should all pour out one for the AC68U... That being said, responsibly recycle them as the opportunity presents - I know all would like to have that Viking Funeral in the back-yard to send it into router Valhalla... but the neighbors...

    You have a bad NAND part, or a bad flash on the NAND...

    Current plans regarding separate version branches

    Sounds like LTS support - security fixes where they can be done... It's the product life-cycle, and many of these devices have gone well and beyond their sell-buy dates as they are.

    RT-AC68U with really BIG USB disk

    Going with drives 4TB and larger... They can work - the challenge is the number of files that can accumulate there and this can run into 100K or more... numbers, not sizes... One can get to a point where the filesystem in use can consume a fair amount of RAM, and then you have applications...

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    By disabling Hyperthreading, one can avoid a majority of the speculation vulns out there (Spectre, Meltdown, etc) - and consider the tasking/purpose for the pfSense (and derivatives), there's not much benefit in any case... one might actually see benefits with regards to latency.... At least...

    [Q] CakeQOS with Dual WAN Load Balancing Possible?

    Not sure where things are with the script writers are, but there has been efforts related to 5G work where bandwidth is variable and SQM auto-rating... The challenge with Dual-WAN is the interfaces themselves and the characteristics around them - one might be fiber, and the other could be...

    Best practices when using add-ons?

    Here's the deal - I'm part of the OpenWRT and Armbian community, and I've also developed multiple embedded linux devices... As a developer, I've been thru multiple security audits, and had to respond accordingly... AsusWRT, as part of the legacy of 20 plus years of a code-base, is fairly...

    Best practices when using add-ons?

    And this was your response... It flagged a number of syntax issues, which you dismissed... you could have addressed them directly, but you chose to be defensive rather than say "Thank You, I'll fix it" Github's security is what you pay it to be - it's free, so accept that -- A number of...
