    amtm amtm 4.4 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, March 10, 2024

    AMTM used to tell you not to install entware separately and instead to install it through Diversion if you were going to install that. So you'd press 1 and it would then prompt to install it. Since I haven't set up a new router in a while, I was used to the old method. The new method is you...

    amtm amtm 4.4 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, March 10, 2024

    Hey, I'm setting up a new RT-AX86U router somewhere, and AMTM doesn't seem to want to let me install any scripts. I plugged in a flashdrive, turned on jffs custom scripts and ssh, switched to USB2 mode, ssh'd in, formatted the USB to ext4, got swap set up, configured email settings for alerts...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS issues with 388.4 HND5.04 models

    These aren't huge office buildings, but are using /22's, so they're not puny either. Interesting examples that you chose there. SpaceX is well known for using consumer parts where they can. They designed their own motherboards for the Falcon 9 rockets that used three standard dual-core Intel...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS issues with 388.4 HND5.04 models

    My experience has been that there are dealbreaker firmware versions. I'm always very careful rolling out a new firmware release. I do it on my home network and evaluate for a few months before doing it in the wild. Entware can also be problematic - I don't always update that. That has spared me...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS issues with 388.4 HND5.04 models

    It seems probable that if you're getting a low speedtest result, consistently at a low level, it may be getting mis-categorized and throttled. We need to see the full QOS configuration to tell you for sure. It might be worthwhile to grab a screenshotting tool like GoFullPage and upload some...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS issues with 388.4 HND5.04 models

    I only have AX routers now. I never had to disable anything to get QOS working on older ones. Probably Other. Something above the slowest classes, in case things get mis-prioritized or take a little bit to get categorized. What does it show on the QOS page as your limit? What are the category...

    You do it over SSH. See here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/help-code-for-disable-runner-and-flow-cache-in-ssh-putty-please.84232/#post-831033 Probably this: fc disable fc flush nvram set fc_disable="1" nvram set fc_disable_force="1" nvram commit And then reboot the router.

    "works perfectly fine" Hehe, I beg to differ. We really appreciate what you were able to put together with FlexQOS. :) Hard to go back to a Ford Fiesta that runs perfectly fine, now that we've experienced a Ford Fusion.

    You're probably right. I'm probably mis-remembering which page I used. I thought it was the pie chart one, but maybe not. I was digging through the IPs and connections at the bottom of the page, so maybe I was on the other one instead? Thanks for the suggestion. :)

    You can't put Gaming at the top unless you cap its incoming speed a lot. XBox games (and some Steam games) are split across Gaming, Web Surfing, Others, with Gaming and Web Surfing being most common. Annoyingly, both the game downloads (huge bandwidth consumption) and games themselves (minimal...

    RT-AX56U EOL question.

    Quite stable on my end. No reboots or freezes or ping spikes or other issues, so far. I'm not on the latest _2 release yet.

    Dual WAN Failover ***v2 Release***

    Hey, would you be willing to implement a new feature? I just realized that something is turning flowcache back on, on my RT-AX56U router. On it and the RT-AX68U (and probably other AX models), when it's enabled, traffic doesn't show up in FlexQOS. You can be downloading a game at 50mbit from...

    Upgrade time ... RT-AC66U-B1 to RT-AX68U?

    I don't know anything about the Decos, but EAP access points have a setting to restrict devices connected to them from talking to other devices on the network. It's perfect for guest networks, where such a thing won't matter because there's no printers on the network anyway. It is not a VLAN...

    Upgrade time ... RT-AC66U-B1 to RT-AX68U?

    Ideas for you: I'm using MOCA adapters here. 2.5gbit, so I can max out my 1gbit LAN with them. Much better and more stable than powerline. If you have old coax outlets all over, it's worth looking into. I personally mix ASUS Merlin routers with TP-Link EAP access points. They're not as heavy...

    Dual WAN Failover ***v2 Release***

    Mine is still cutting over 1-2 times daily. I ended up shifting the config to 5 pings with 3 second timeout. It's only ever one line at a time. Usually the DSL, but sometimes the Cable. I knew the cable node was ornery in this area, hence choosing DSL initially, but I think now I might just have...
