    Educate me: WiFi device disconnection detection

    Yes, I should add that's true. It's just the Connections page that doesn't notice (I have the refresh there set at 5 seconds). *That* page will not reflect the missing device & connections for 10 minutes. What's amusing is if I watch, it actually will add and remove connections to/from the list...

    Educate me: WiFi device disconnection detection

    Yeah, there is the new Connections page, which is what I'm referring to. But if you say the 10-minute timeout is normal, then good enough for me. I never noticed it before, but with the new router and Merlin updates I've been poking at stuff and "noticing" things a bit more. :-)

    Educate me: WiFi device disconnection detection

    Home Assistant's integration looks at the list of connected devices parsing by name. Ignore the HA part and tweak the question to: Why does the Connections on the router list take 10 minutes to notice that a WiFi device is no longer there? Once that's solved, the rest will fall into place.

    Educate me: WiFi device disconnection detection

    I'm not 100% certain if this is Merlin-specific, but I'm only seeing this weirdness with 3006.102.5b3 and it seems new to me. Background: I run Home Assistant, with one of the automation triggers being whether family members are home or not. That's triggered by an interface to AsusWRT that...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    Thanks for that. I'll go hunting for the notes on firewall-start. I've never used the features you mention, but I'll see if I can find any clues. I find in general each new generation of Asus router seems to have crappier and crappier 5GHz range than the ones before, so AIMesh becomes pretty...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    No importation was done at all. I know that's a bad thing. I literally re-entered each and every setting manually in the GUI. And there really weren't all that many. But the fact it's not a common problem, despite the 92U being a new addition, bodes well. So I'll try again next release and take...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    Yeah, my immediate goal was to eliminate "bad hardware" as a suspect by going back to stock. I did try with a vastly minimized firewall-start, but admittedly not *no* firewall-start. Next iteration, I'll definitely do that. My settings, in the end, were fairly minimalist. I had a bunch of...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    Yup. I basically hooked it up to my ChromeOS laptop out of the box to do enough preliminary setup to enable SSH, do the nvram thing, then upload Merlin. Method 2. Well and truly nuked. :-)

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    In case it's of interest, I picked up a shiny new RT-BE92U on Wednesday, immediately put this Merlin release on it and painstakingly set up all my personalization. The only "custom" scripts was a firewall-start that is admittedly a bit on the large side. None of the extra bits were turned on...

    How to block port 25 for all private ip (example: 192.168.1.2-253) except 192.168.1.254

    Gah! Apologies, I totally missed the fact I'd switched forums. Oh well, perhaps a reason to upgrade. :cool:

    How to block port 25 for all private ip (example: 192.168.1.2-253) except 192.168.1.254

    Here's what I did... Open /jffs/scripts/firewall-start. Yours may be empty. Mine is pretty large so I'll extract the relevant bits... #!/bin/sh # this makes a match-set called "Mail-Enabled", which makes the next part a bit easier to do/read ipset create Mail-Enabled hash:ip # one line per...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    Tried to downgrade back to .18 and it's "mostly" working except it refuses to accept my username/password or the default username/password. Looks like I'll have to do a factory reset, which isn't entirely unexpected.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 is now available

    I'm in exactly the same boat. Nothing super-special about my setup other than running skynet (except not at the moment, it's "not found").

    Dumb jffs backup/format/restore question (sorry)

    Oops! Learned something new. So in my original question, replace "jffs" with "USB", except now I need to rethink the backup strategy, probably using WinSCP to just copy away & then back. And now that I know what I'm looking for, the only thing there is the skynet folder and a myswap.swp file...

    Dumb jffs backup/format/restore question (sorry)

    AC86U running latest Merlin, and I followed the instructions to install Skynet on it. I have a 32Gig USB key, but I used the UI to format so it's formatted as FAT. After reading & learning more, I want to install Entware. It requires that the USB key be ext formatted, and I know now I can do...
