    'Latest' Asus stock firmware version AX86U??

    Yep, but I am currently experimenting with retiring the AX56U, hoping the AX86U gives me improved coverage in the couple of deadspots I had round the house befpre. So far looks promissing, but kids will no doubt be stress testing vigorously later tonight, and complaining bitterly in the morning...

    'Latest' Asus stock firmware version AX86U??

    I thought I understood from the documentation somewhere, that if you ran stock Asuswrt firmware on nodes, you could automatically update via the AsusMerlin gui (Admin). Seem to have had only somewhat patchy success with that tho!

    'Latest' Asus stock firmware version AX86U??

    Thanks. My intention was to leave the AI node running stock Asuswrt, I was just surprised to see when I checked for updates in the mesh master or whatever the term is, it reported a different version as being the latest compared to the Asus site. At least as I understood it, anyway!

    'Latest' Asus stock firmware version AX86U??

    Just bought an AX86U to use as a Mesh node, so was intending to leave it running stock. Went to upgrade firmware via Merlin running on my 88U, and noticed the 'latest' version reported there was not the same one as reported on the Asus site (a later number 3.0.0.4.388_24231 vs 3.0.0.4.388_24198...

    Remote Access with Enable Access Restrictions ON

    Well it does seem my assumption that a MAC address is available for SSH clients via the Arp table was mistaken. My bad

    Remote Access with Enable Access Restrictions ON

    i don't understand what you are talking bout. MAC addresses are hard coded into network interfaces. Yes, they can be spoofed by a malicious attacker, but an attacker would first have to know what specific MAC address had been whitelisted in the scenario I outlined above. Good day to you

    Remote Access with Enable Access Restrictions ON

    Right, and what I have in mind is SSH as the primary remote access control, with something like a MAC whitelist operating on wan connections as a second layer of security. I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable trying to implement this, but should be possible via Iptables as I see it!

    Remote Access with Enable Access Restrictions ON

    Question answered! This feature would imv be significantly more useful if it implemented some sort of MAC filtering! I don't suppose there is a feature request list somewhere?

    Share /tmp syslog dir over Samba

    good point! Just thinking laterally, would it not be possible to relocate the syslog to a less sensitive location?

    Share /tmp syslog dir over Samba

    having noted the many warnings, I have opened up WAN SSH access. And I'd like to keep a close eye on the logs at least initially to hopefully confirm nothing unexpected is happening/logging on!

    Share /tmp syslog dir over Samba

    The syslog files are written to the /tmp directory. I would like to share that directory via Samba so I can open the syslog files directly eg in notepad, rather than go through the web interface or say winSCP

    Share /tmp syslog dir over Samba

    Have just enabled SSH Wan access and would like to keep an eye on my syslog certainly initially to monitor proceedings! Is there a way to share the /tmp directory over Samba so I avoid having to go through the webclient? (can set up new shares, but don't seem to be able to share anything from...
