    Solved Strange issue: No access to some websites/servers w/o using a VPN [RT-AX3000]

    I'm having what seems to be a similar issue on my RT-AC86U running 386.4. Let me describe and please let me know if it's appropriate to tag on to this thread or if I should delete this post and start a new one. For months I've been unable to reach forum.qnap.com. I could reach it on vpn, and...

    RT-AC86U wifi regularly disappearing

    Thanks, good to know I'm not alone. Is there something special about ver .15, or does your suggestion boil down to "factory reset, then only change or upgrade after you've seen everything is stable"?

    RT-AC86U wifi regularly disappearing

    Hi guys, please to point me in the right direction if I missed something, but amidst all the "devices losing connection to router" and "router losing internet" threads, I cannot find anything about my issue: the RT-AC86U periodically loses wifi, as if both radios shut off. The router USUALLY...

    SIP 408 Timeout errors? Please help.

    Hi smart people, My system is Callcentric VoIP service through an RT-AC86U running the latest Merlin builds to an OBi200 VoiP device. OCCASIONALLY, seemingly randomly, I find a call has gone to voicemail without having rung my phones. When I've been able to capture this , Callcentric tells me...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.64_2 is now available

    Turned out it was something deeper than just the images. The button area seemed to work, and the GUI would reflect the addition or deletion, but Apply would just hang with no percentage indicator and adds or deletions would not persist. Plus, changing settings often took me back to the login...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.64_2 is now available

    Ha! I believe you that it will, but I have no idea how to interpret it! In any case, while it's happening in both Chrome and Firefox, and from my phone, it's apparently just an issue with the images loading. The button function still works if I click there, so it's not a show stopper...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.64_2 is now available

    Hi there, Am I doing something wrong, or are the DNS Filter add/delete controls broken in this build? Thanks! ApK

    DSLReports Speed Test Now Measuring Buffer Bloat

    I must say I don't really understand bufferbloat. I only heard of it this week for the first time, and from skimming, my take-away is: 1. Excessive bufferbloat can make even a fast connection seem seem choppy or slow to respond. 2. It really only manifests a problem when your connection is...

    local name resolution issue with DNS filter enabled

    Great tip! This works perfectly for my needs. I wonder why Merlin's readme doesn't mention this option when it talks about local dns ane filtering? Could this configuration have some issue we're not realizing?

    Wi-Fi dropping

    I'll add I'm seeing similar behavior on my RT-N66R. 2.4 wireless becomes unavailable spontaneously. 5 band (and wired connections) stay working with no problem. Occasionally 2.4 will start working on it's own if left alone, but usually, I either reboot the device or flip the 2.4 radio enabled...

    Anyway to definitively test for firmware upgrade issues?

    Yup, I kind of figured it that was where I'd end up. Thanks for the info. You'd know the NVRAM details as well as anyone, I'd bet. I'll try your utility next time! ApK

    Anyway to definitively test for firmware upgrade issues?

    Geeze man, I read the changelog. That's how I knew about the advice to reset and the warnings of possible problems...you know, all the stuff I mentioned in the OP (And I read it again to see if was clear that the reset should be done after the upgrade.) No need for you to be a jerk. If you...

    Anyway to definitively test for firmware upgrade issues?

    Not the same thing. Something caused Merlin to recommend a factory reset when going from earlier builds to .50, and not when going between version before or since. So something's clearly different, perhaps in the way the settings are stored. So I'm curious to know if there's a way to see...

    Anyway to definitively test for firmware upgrade issues?

    Ah. OK. Would that explain why I didn't see a new version after uploading perhaps? Still, I'd be curious to know if there is any way to check for potential problems, rather than doing another full reset 'just in case.' Perhaps some kind of nvram integrity check or some such?

    Anyway to definitively test for firmware upgrade issues?

    I held off upgrading past 376.49 for a while because I didn't want to do the full factory reset, but last light I made some time. Factory default reset, upgraded to 378.53, reentered all my routing info, static reservations, firewall scripts etc...looked all good to go! Then today I realize...
