After two weeks of setting up AiDisks for local network file sharing among my family members for the first time, a week later, someone began attempting to guess the password for access every five minutes, with five login attempts. As a result, I increased the timeout to 60 minutes with a limit...

Funny, I just added 30 secs sleep command and seems to be working when I saw your post. Two URLs stayed in the list this time. I should increase it to 60 secs to be safe. I timed my router's boot time to 55 secs. Thanks for all of your help!

Ok. I did the /jffs/scripts/services-start and it says "Done." then I looked in System log as soon as 10am just showed up: Mar 3 09:59:35 watchdog: New firmware version 388.6_2 is available. Mar 3 10:00:00 rc_service: service 3666:notify_rc restart_firewall firewall restarted. I tested it...

Hello everyone, I need advice on automating URL address management in the Firewall's URL Filter settings. I'm tired of manually logging in, finding the Firewall tab, and adding or removing URL addresses via the router's GUI every day. I have an ASUS router RT-AX86U flashed with Merlin v386.5 and...
