@bennor thanks so much for the quick reply. Yeah I had found and searched that thread, but wasn't able to find RMerlin's comment Thanks for pointing that out. So "closed source networkmap"?... I'm guessing this means we cannot change the Device Label? (At least not from within the Router UI...

I have a very minor question that relates to a cosmetic issue only... but I'll throw it out there anyway (and share what I've learned - by accident)... So, I have learned for some client devices that if you open the device settings and look at the top-left corner where the client icon is...

Ok, so I've determined I have a flakey WiFi NIC in my PC. I did notice the signal bars fluctuating quite a bit recently, so this all makes sense. I managed to find an old USB WiFi adaptor stick and used it to connect wirelessly (to avoid running an ethernet cable) and I immediately got full...

The banner says "Uploading, x%", so i figured it was showing what it says it's showing. And i'm not sure about it being a fixed timer, because sometimes it runs for 10mins or so, and sometimes it only runs for 30 seconds, before the router goes into a reboot cycle. I've seen it quit as early...

RT-AC86U running 384.17_0

I'm trying to upgrade to the latest f/w (384.18_0), but each time I try to upload the new f/w it times out. I've gotten as close as 93% uploaded and then it died, though sometimes it times out after 5% (seems quite random). Any ideas how to avoid this problem? Can I SCP the f/w to some...

Yeah, and i have no idea where this "usericon" file came from?? Pretty useless to have a 168MB icon file in the jffs partition. Anyway, thankfully the WebUI format utility finally worked. :)

The WebUI option finally worked... after several retries. Not sure why it didn't work the first few times. Anyway, things are looking good now. The jffs partition is now only 3% in use. /dev/mtdblock8 48.0M 1.3M 46.7M 3% /jffs WooHoo!

Hi, I've finally gotten around to restoring my AC-RT86U to factory defaults (since upgrading to Merlin) and i'm now attempting to clear the jffs partition, but i'm having trouble. I've tried the GUI option of "Format JFFS partition at next boot" several times, but it is not working. I've...

Talking about an RT-AC86U. No, i did not do a full reset (although I recall you've told me that already). I will do that and see how things go.

Magically, my second device suddenly appeared. I did nothing but enter and exit the Parental Control section multiple times. At first I was unable to modify the time range, but after deleting and re-adding the client MANY times, it finally allowed me to enter a time range. And i can confirm...

Hi, I'm running the latest version of Merlin (384.17) and i've found recently that the "Parental Control Time Scheduling" feature in the webUI is not working. I mean it's partially working, but the problems i'm having with it qualify it as "not working" in my opinion. I have two devices set...

Wow, looks painful. I'm guessing the router does a factory reset as part of the procedure? (it doesn't explicitly say). Anyway, my problems with Merlin are all webUI-based (for which i'll start a new threat)... so not really major. Perhaps there are methods with which i can accomplish the...

Hi, Yes, i'm ashamed to say it, but i would like to downgrade my f/w to the latest ASUS stock f/w (Version 3.0.0.4.384.81858). Would anyone care to share the procedure? I am running the latest version of Merlin. I have tried using the Manual f/w update option (clicking "upload") twice but my...

I was running the latest stock f/w at the time, v3.0.0.4.384_81369... i just happened to write it down in case i wanted to restore the stock f/w.
