    FYI, possible help re: instability on the RT-AC66U

    I generally find myself incredulous and see that others likewise may be left feeling incredulous in the face of snarky comments, but never have I found a post itself incredulous since it in all likelihood is incapable of forming an opinion. But I do get the gist of what you were trying to...

    FYI, possible help re: instability on the RT-AC66U

    This post is informational/placekeeping only. I wanted to post my experience to hopefully help others who may run into the same issues and not get anywhere on the forums. I ran an older version of Asuswrt-Merlin for quite a while and it was rock solid. I had updated to .32 without taking...

    Spurious DNS lookups to phantom domain

    This is likely unrelated to Asus routers, but I've been having stability issues with my AC66U, and have discovered some odd behavior that I'd like some opinions about.... I have been trying to figure out a stability issue with my router. I've posted about it elsewhere, but won't repeat that...

    RT-AC66U Instability - hardware or software?

    Similar issue... same time... I've had nearly the same issue since the upgrade to .32... Never had the problem until then. I get the same message saying settings have changed and need to reconnect... but only on the 2.4 Ghz band. Once that goes down, I can connect to the 5Ghz band with...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.33 is out

    I have a recurring problem with the last couple of versions of this firmware. Namely, the 2.4Ghz band is not stable. It stops working after a period of time (between about 1 and 4 days). At that point, the only recourse is to reboot the router. I can still connect over the 5 Ghz band, and...

    Iptables stops logging

    Thanks very much... Simply changing OUTPUT to FORWARD did the trick. Obviously, I'm pretty new to iptables. But, I'm not going at this completely blind. I did some research first, and some of what I found seems inconsistent. For example, the page at...

    Iptables stops logging

    The command I showed specifies the OUTPUT chain, and eth+ interfaces, not br0. So I'm not following you here... Thanks...

    Iptables stops logging

    I'm trying to log all web page access using Iptables. I placed the following in /jffs/scripts/firewall-start and rebooted... #!/bin/sh iptables -I OUTPUT -o eth+ -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-level 7 --log-prefix "FIREWALL: " touch /tmp/firewallstarted After reboot...

    ether-wake not working for me...

    Seriously, no joke... We also have differential rates based on time of day, so at .20 a peak KWh, it would almost be cost effective to charge batteries off the grid at night for use during the day... Installing solar panels is on the to-do list, and if they do away with net metering here as...

    ether-wake not working for me...

    Very good points, and right on the money... It took a fair amount of fiddling and ultimately a new NIC to get my NAS (Freenas on an N40L) to WOL. I'm just being bitchy. ;) Agreed. But with the exception of spotlight (which I disabled ages ago), I just do not see any significant...

    ether-wake not working for me...

    Hello again, I have already tried the toggle in pref pane to no effect. I have Plex Media Server (http://www.plexapp.com/) running on the iMac. It autoconfigures via UPNP, and streams media to the client on my other devices (Android phone, iPad, laptop). The transcoding is required for...

    ether-wake not working for me...

    Hey again... This is all very interesting... I'm back at it again with this issue because while my work around works, it doesn't work for long. If the Mac sleeps too long (I don't really know how long), I can't get it to wake anymore. I tried the mobile mouse server trick that seems to work...

    ether-wake not working for me...

    Thanks very much for your thoughtful and detailed answer. A number of your suggestions were considered and implemented just to get the WOL app to work (e.g. clearing PRAM etc). It was indeed interesting discovering the bonjour related issues that seem to plague folks. There is a plist tweak...

    ether-wake not working for me...

    I'm trying to wake a sleeping iMac using ether-wake and failing miserably... Using an Android app called 'WOL', I can wake the iMac by specifying its MAC address, the broadcast LAN address (e.g. 192.168.1.255) and port 9. So, I know the iMac is setup correctly and can be woken up with a...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.32 is out

    Thank you for the information... good to know re: number of upgrades. I am not using Media Server, nor most of the bells and whistles. Mostly vanilla routing albeit on both bands. I'll give the firmware another go with the above instructions. Thanks to all.
