Thanks for the suggestion regarding the PID file. I’ve added some additional instrumentation so the next time the failure occurs I can capture the router state before manually restarting dnsmasq. I created a small background monitor script (/jffs/scripts/dnsmasq-monitor.sh) that runs every 5...

Thanks for the reply. I checked further. There is definitely a running /sbin/watchdog process, and strings /sbin/watchdog shows dnsmasq-related logic including dnsmasq_check, /var/run/dnsmasq.pid, start_dnsmasq, and stop_dnsmasq. However, in the actual failure state I captured earlier, dnsmasq...

Hi everyone, I’m seeing an intermittent issue on an RT-BE88U running Asuswrt-Merlin where dnsmasq stops running entirely, resulting in loss of DNS for the LAN. I’ve done some debugging and wanted to share the findings in case it’s helpful or if others are seeing the same behavior. Router /...

Has anyone managed to get transmission working on a veth associated with wireguard?

I am noticing some wifi changes. I went from .5 to .6 on my BE88U. No betas in between. Dirty flash. I fought all day with my Motorola Edge Plus 2023 which is a Wifi7 device. Its my daily phone and use it around the house to interface with my network. Although i have had a strong signal...

Did a factory reset. Seems that the 5GHz radio is shot as it still isnt working. RMA here we come.

Installed 102.5 beta 2 the other day on my BE88u. Everything seems to be working ok with the exception of my 5ghz radio. I noticed walking by my router that the LED light was off. When logging into the webui, i see half of the green wifi symbol lit.when i hover over this green wifi lcon, it...

Dirty flash on BE88u here. Working well. Im still having an issue with port forwarding working in the gui. I have to manually add firewall rules to forward ports. I use the sfp+ port for my WAN connection and my suspicion is that this is an issue on Asus end. Otherwise happy. Thanks @RMerlin !

Im glad this worked for you. I have had a similar experience. Its nice to be able to use the asus router app for simple things as its intended for use on a phone with a small screen vs the full web ui. In my case. My BE88U can be accessed from my Android Asus App from within my lan. It was...

This PON is more like a fancy swtich. It has no firewall. https://pon.wiki/xgs-pon/ont/bfw-solutions/was-110/ ifconfig $(nvram get wan0_ifname):0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 This from your post above also allowed me to ping 192.168.11.1 and access the PON Web UI. Just like @Erah ...

@Erah can you test a theory with me? I'm also on a BE88u and had the issue with the GUI static route setting not allowing me to access the PON. I also realized that my port forwarding cant be configured through the Asus GUI. I wonder if these two issues are related. Could you try to forward a...

Hello everyone. Longtime Asus Merlin Asus router user. I recently upgraded to an Asus BE88u and ran into an issue that ive never seen before so thought to see if i might be the only one. Configuration BE88u Runnig Merlin 3006.102.3. SFP+ Port Wan I have been testing plex remote server and had...

My only advice is to go through the tutorial and make sure that you've followed the instructions. I have two physical drives attached to a usb 3.0 hub running off of an AX-88u and now a BE-88u and am able to see both drives from within chrooted Debian (and also accessible from my plex server)

Is anyone using this setup with Plex Remote Access? It works very well within my local LAN. My router's local address is 192.168.2.1 and I've forwarded 32400 to this address. I have disabled Plex relay and have a Plex Pass. I dont fully understand the network topology of how this is configured...
