That a great suggestion! I tried this, and sure enough, DHCP didn't work, so it seems it's my ISP's issue, not (necessarily) the router. Thanks!

Just tried this now. ONT & Router off. ONT on, waited for 2 solid greens, router on. Same issue.

Their email says to updated the router settings now, before PPPoE is turned off. I was an early customer when they used PPPoE, but all new connections are DHCP. Surely they can run both at the same time?

Hi All, I have an AC-86U which has been running happily on my 1Gb up/down FTTP service for a couple of years using PPPoE. My ISP recently informed me that they've switched to DHCP, and will be turning off PPPoE next month. No big deal I thought. So I went into the WAN settings and changed...

AC86U dirty update to 386.11 went fine. Seems that it is scheduling a restart of the firewall at the same time of day that it was updated. May 16 17:47:37 ntpd: Initial clock set May 16 17:47:37 rc_service: ntpd_synced 1606:notify_rc restart_diskmon May 16 17:47:37 disk_monitor: Finish May 16...

Ah OK. First time I've seen it.

Hi All, This morning I noticed some strange log entries: Jan 13 04:37:58 kernel: pgd = ffffffc015173000 Jan 13 04:37:58 kernel: [00000020] *pgd=0000000015175003, *pud=0000000015175003, *pmd=000000001516e003, *pte=0000000000000000 Jan 13 04:37:58 kernel: CPU: 1 PID: 13996 Comm: cfg_server...

Anyone know what going on here? Very odd log entries overnight, see attached file.

Just dropped by to say my AC86U just dropped 5Ghz again, running 386.7_2. I can get it back my going to Network Map -> System Status -> Wireless, and pressing Apply. Very annoying though.

Awesome, thanks!

That looks great. I'm new to Merlin, how do I get and install/schedule this script? I've changed out all the cabling so I'm just waiting to see if the fault comes back, but it would be good to have this in place.

The cable is "known good", in that I've used it for a long time with other equipment, and securely plugged in at either end. There is no modem log, the "modem" is a fibre ONT. The Asus sets up the PPPoE connection and authenticates etc. I've witnessed it going down, and the fibre light is on...

Hi Everyone, Every now and again I lose WAN connection, and I'm trying to understand the root cause. Here are the relevant og entries from one of them: Jul 15 13:40:57 WAN_Connection: Fail to connect with some issues. Jul 15 13:40:57 DualWAN: skip single wan wan_led_control - WANRED off Jul 15...

Wow, thanks guys! Weird that it isn't just sat there in the GUI like most other routers I've used!

Hi All, I just got my first Asus router (AC86U), and on the advice of others, installed the Merlin firmware (386.5). My question isn't specific to Merlin I guess, but how can I see how long the internet has been connected (not router uptime)? I used to use a Fritz!Box, and it was very easy to...
