Hi all,
I purchased an ASUS RT-AC68U in the sales and have been absolutely amazed at what it can do. Thanks to Merlin and Optware, it has the potential of replacing my always on PC in the home office for DLNA etc.
However I have a couple of problems that I'm still working on but thought I'd ask here in case someone else has already solved the problems.
1. The "post-mount" script seems to get called when even the first USB disk mounts and doesn't wait for the second disk on the USB3.0 port. (Sometimes the second disk on USB3.0 doesn't even mount automatically until you manually disconnect/reconnect it). So I'm wondering is there a way to make "post-mount" wait for both disk to mount before being called? If not, perhaps we can use the blocking "pre-mount" script to manually force both disks to mount before continuing?
2. If there anyway to get mono running? There is no package to install via ipkg and if I try to compile it myself there is no gcc package to compile (gcc not on ipkg either).
3. How do you deal with services that crash occasionally? I was thinking of making a cron job that checks if the service is running and if not start it?
4. Wireless stops giving access. Perhaps I've too much stuff running on it but after a couple of hours or so, devices connected to wifi 2.4Ghz lose access to the router (5ghz is disabled). Devices are still connected and can disconnect/reconnect but you can't ping the router, and there is no internet access - e.g. ping 8.8.8.8 fails as well as ping <ip of router>. The solution is to restart the router. Any way to fix this in software?
Pretty hard tech questions here folks if any gurus can help?
