I have just got the RT-ac66u , installed the 378.53_0 merlin firmwire. Using cable internet connection with static ip, connected from a 5 port switch.
My problem is that the WAN led on the router only detects the physical connection, only goes out if the network cable is unplugged, it stays lit even if I have internet connectivity or not.
Even the Internet status is always shown as "Connected" in the network map, even if I'm disconnected from the internet.
Though I have a leased line connection my ISP has the habit of sometimes dropping the internet connection, all it takes for me is to login to my ISP control panel and relogin with my user/pass.
But since there is no sign anywhere saying my internet connectivity is there or not, I have to run ping to check if my connectivity is lost.
I have no knowledge of linux programming.
If anyone can make a script of some sort, that can ping a website or something like that, and shows some icon or message on the network map saying there is no internet connection. Or the wan light blinks or turns off etc.
I would be glad to buy that person a beer
eg, the belkin n300 that I had before this had a green led, which turned amber when I lost internet connectivity.
