  • SNBForums Code of Conduct

    SNBForums is a community for everyone, no matter what their level of experience.

    Please be tolerant and patient of others, especially newcomers. We are all here to share and learn!

    The rules are simple: Be patient, be nice, be helpful or be gone!

    OpenVPN on RT-AC68U

    This is a limitation of all consumer grade routers. They don't support hardware accelerated AES and have as much processing power as any device of that size. Nothing you change on the router will affect the speed. As an alternative, set up the VPN client on your computer. You will get full...

    ASUSwrt Password Sent in Cleartext

    Yes unless you already have both. I have a domain for other purposes, and a wildcard cert for that domain. So increasing security with this setup does not add any cost.

    BSOD - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

    It's unlikely you will be able to use the MFP with the router since there is a bug in either the driver getting loaded by the USB daemon or the daemon itself. The OS is ending the process as a security measure to prevent an operation in a part of memory that has not been assigned to that...

    computer connected to 2 ISPs at once?

    NIC teaming is what you're looking for. Windows Server has it built in

    ASUSwrt Password Sent in Cleartext

    The router doesn't have to use a self signed cert or rely on enterprise CA chain of trust, which still terminates with a self signed cert without public audit records. An issuer will issue a cert for any valid domain name. Pick one and register it. Assign the router to identify itself as a host...

    iOS 8.1 performance

    I have consistent dropout issues on the 5 ghz freq (bands 1 and 2) on 8.1. Switching to 2.4 ameliorates the issue but at the cost of overall performance (noticeable only for airplay over wifi (not wifi direct/awdl)). Both iPad Air gen 1 and iPhone 6+. No such issues on iOS 7 with same ipad air...

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    That was my assumption last time I tried it on optware. I believe there was a syntax error in one of the parsing commands (possibly sed). I will try again and post back with detailed results

    QOS: are priorities per IP or cumulative?

    I cna understand the desire to have them cumulative so that bandwidth usage can be more predictable, but my reading of the interface they appear to be fairly clearly per IP.

    [How-to] Adblock Plus filters right on router

    Any chance of tweaking the shell scripts to work on the newer ARM based routers (with Optware instead of Entware support)?

    Gathering the community together - to IRC

    DALnet, now there's a name I haven't heard in 15 years. I think they mask hostnames now but IRC was the only reason I registered a domain name and had a reverse lookup for my IP address point to it. aph@aph.com will try to stop by ;)

    wireless performance merlin builds

    Yup that is a 7260 and the router is the AC68U. The other side is a wired connection to a very cheap Intel gigabit card. The key with that metric is to optimize the number of simultaneous data streams to reach max throughput. I used 8 streams of 10MB each and that probably doubled the results...

    wireless performance merlin builds

    I did some tests after I first flashed, this is 3 or 4 revisions back So plenty fast and super consistent meaning no dropouts like I've experienced with other setups. At this point it really comes down to the machines, the peripherals and the protocols. For example VNC to the iPhone is...

    AC68U kernel panic, possibly related to smb conf and/or bonjour, upnp?

    No bad sectors on the drive, no fragments for recovery. No results from deep scan from either this year or matching *.gz with date unknown (all files fall within one of those criteria.) It was supposed to be collecting logs so I'm surprised there were only 41 printable bytes in that directory (I...

    AC68U kernel panic, possibly related to smb conf and/or bonjour, upnp?

    I was tracing down why my router was not responding to the web interface and found in smb log that it had been polling a connected USB device so much that there were at least a few thousand repetitions of this entry in less than an hour: kernel: printing/pcap.c:pcap_cache_reload(159) Unable to...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.35 is out

    Try removing some variables from your testing scenario. The first to go as merlin said would be the capped upstream. To measure 5 GHz throughput, why add the unpredictability of the WAN provider when you can just test in your own network. Try out LAN Speed Test from a 5 GHz client to a computer...
