Asuswrt-Merlin 378.56_2 is now available

[Shonk]

Having the workgroup named WORKGROUP is nothing to do with
some win 10 machines showing as hostname WORKGROUP

and anyway my PIXMA MG6250 is hard coded for WORKGROUP
before i had that printer my workgroup was called LAN

/Advanced_AiDisk_samba.asp

change the name of the workgroup
that would be for you
192.168.0.1/Advanced_AiDisk_samba.asp
if your using merlin's fw

Traffic Manager in the newest version is not working properly. Global shows proper values but per device not. Per device values are very small comparing to global.

You must manually disable NAT acceleration under LAN -> Switch Control. It's a bug in 378.56_2 where it's no longer disabling it automatically.

Its some sort of bug in the asus network map code

The machine has been off for the night when it came back up today
the router was identifying it correctly

I suspect if i reboot the router it will show as WORKGROUP again
hopefully its already fixed in the newer asus code base

I've seen the same thing, my Windows 10 desktop showing up in the client list as "WORKGROUP" rather than the computer name. It comes and goes for me as well, sometimes it appears correctly, sometimes the Windows workgroup name shows up. Not a big deal, have noticed this, though, since it kind of stands out *smile*.

 

[jsmiddleton4]

I've seen weird things when having clients with the same name, use non-standard characters or have changed things and not allowed enough time for the FW to update names. Also expanding the client and naming them in the network map popup and saving them has straightened out any weirdness.

You can upload custom icons there as well.

I've never noticed any impact on performance.

RT-AC56U

Updated from 378.51 to 378.56_2
Updated to Entware-NG
Used drop_caches=0

Everything is running #1 so far, still have 156MB of ram free after 2 hours of uptime, 6 clients, transmission and minidlna running.

Good work Merlin!

PPTP VPN is not working for me on 378.56_2. The router was completely reset and configured from scratch. Is anyone else having this problem?

I really like the new Bandwidth limiter found in the QoS section. Works great for me after updating from 55 with out factory reset. The lowest you can go is .1Mb/s it seems.

When I updated, there is a new icon for Android devices / google. Not sure how the router knows its a android. I am guessing / hoping the FW has a internal MAC/OUI database that it queries. Your Samsung devices in your screen-shot still have the pc icon. I am a little curious.

RMerlin is there anything I can do to make PPTP/VPN work on this release? It was working fine with .55

 

[Shonk]

Its an online database and its flakey at best

My laptop shows up as Dell now and then
MY HP Server shows up with a printer icon now and then

Have never seen my Samsung devices show a custom icon though

Hi, I uploaded my rt-n66u firmware to the latest version (378-56_2). So far for the most part everything seems to be ok, the only issue I seem to see so far is when I enable OpenVPN it says Error - Routing conflict! I have no idea what the problem is, etc. I imported the .ovpn file and entered my username/pass and clicked on apply then i enabled the service state. Then that's when it says Error - Routing conflict!

I've attached a saved syslog txt file. Hopefully someone out there can figure out the problem and let me know what settings I need to modify to fix the issue, that is if there is really an issue or if it's just a bug?

Thanks in advance to all those that can help out!
Cheers,
morden

If thats the case, anybody know how to disable? I would be ok with the the first 3 octets if thats the case, I am deeply suspicious if all 6 are sent for queries somewhere..

I dont think it uses the whole mac
merlin would have to confirm this

I compiled asuswrt 9313 last night
the asuswrt clients list only uses the static dhcp list

so the WORKGROUP hostname isnt an asus bug

If thats the case, anybody know how to disable? I would be ok with the the first 3 octets if thats the case, I am deeply suspicious if all 6 are sent for queries somewhere..

Hi everybody,

Since 378.56_0 and 378.56_2 on my RT-AC87U I'm experiencing the problem that port forwarding SSH (port 22) to a internal host does not work from WAN/internet. Alghough I have disabled SSH access to the router from the outside in the system tab it looks to me that the router UI is blocking port 22 from outside even if a port forwarding exists.

I can work around this issue by removing port forwarding and re-adding it then it works until I reboot the router. Once rebooted port 22 becomes inaccessible again. This behaviour was clearly not present in earlier releases. Would be great if this bug could be fixed.

Thanks a lot

Tested and it works for me. Make sure you don't also have the router's own SSH server also using port 22.

Every time i hit apply on openvpn (client) iptttolan and iptfromlan lan filled up with new entries in chain.

It's a bug in the ipt_account Netfilter module where it's unable to locate a rule when you ask for it to be deleted. Unfortunately the author of that module dropped its development years ago, and a look at the code doesn't provide any clue as to why the module would fail to locate the rule when asked to delete it. Fortunately, this doesn't have any impact of the IPTraffic accounting, so it can safely be ignored.

Hi everybody.
After upgrading my RT-AC68U to 378.56_2 I ran into segmentation fault error using anything from /usr/sbin. For example, wget return:

[admin@RT-AC68U-9B58 /tmp]$ ipkg update

I assume, that wget cannot run due to read-only file system. What will be the proper way to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

UPD: I've found the same issue and workaround it using optware's version of wget http://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-376-48-is-out.20605/page-8#post-150348 , but segfault occurs not only wget, for example restarting httpd:

RT-AC68U

I have uploaded this upgrade and now have the following issues with Wireless MAC Filter:

1. Unable to remove defunct entries.

2. Every device is headed 'New device' and followed by the address plus the device name, except for new devices added after the upgrade which are headed by the correct device name followed by the address.

More congratulations on this upgrade which has made some redundant settings work correctly.

 

[sveand]

Sorry am new to this and English isn't my language

I have two Asus RT-3200 and running Merlin 378 56 2 and my problem is that it lose settings. When reboot its sometime lose it ip.adress and dns settings so need enter them manual after almost every reboot. Also when enter the settings for port forward they are lost after reboot and sometimes not even stored when click apply/save. And it's similar on both routers. So wonder if i done something wrong in installation
