    N66U froze and won't turn on

    A couple of days ago the N66U I've been using with Merlin's firmware as an access point just froze out of the blue. The LED's were on but not blinking, no ping response, no SSID broadcast. Turned it off and won't turn on anymore - LED's not lighting up, no boot, absolutely nothing. Things I've...

    Apple Exiting Wi-Fi Router Biz

    *made ;) Just like the Esc key and the MagSafe on the MBP. Where art thou, Steve?

    Mac users | Tell me about your wireless backups with asusWRT-Merlin (Time Machine, CCC, etc)

    I've been using it for ~2 years over wi-fi on a Macbook Pro, no problems. Had to restore files a couple of times, worked as expected. Time Machine is set to check for changes every hour (had to use some utility to set the interval, by defualt it's buried somewhere in the command line).

    https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/ access now secured through Let's Encrypt

    The browsers complain only when loading http assets for an https page URL. https assets in a http page URL are fine (most of youtube embeds in forums is done using https, for example).

    Transmission...for Asuswrt/Merlin

    It's there in Transmission 2.84.

    Memory leak in Asuswrt-Merlin

    I gather you're a Windows user. :) There is no leak, it's just how the Linux kernel (very effectively) manages and uses system memory. As soon as a userspace application requests allocation, the kernel flushes as much as it's needed from its own buffers/caches/etc and allocates it. There's even...

    Is it possible to change 5Ghz channel on RT-AC66U?

    Install hggomes' firmware, you'll get all 5GHz channels.

    Possible Regression/Undocumented Feature Removal with 380.57 Firmware

    As a workaround, you can enable it via the nvram settings. # nvram show | grep jumbo size: 47842 bytes (17694 left) jumbo_frame_enable=0

    Transmission for Optware

    The very first line of the /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission file should be a shebang, like: #!/bin/sh Can you check if that's the case?

    Forwarded connection refused by server, using the SSH tunnel

    Does telnetting to the configured SSH port work? It should like something like: $ telnet 192.168.1.1 22 Trying 192.168.1.1... Connected to router.asus.com. Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-dropbear_2014.66...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Monitoring the N66U which runs this firmware. Tried snmpd in entware, crashes randomly, does not start on device reboot (although the jffs initscript is configured), and it's generally a pain to keep running. The bundled SNMP agent in the latest Merlin builds is rock solid, though.

    V14E1 factory reset after power outage

    Used to happen to my N66U as well after power outages. The firmware has nothing to do with it, just the spikes on power restoration, it simply erased the NVRAM. After I moved to a new home, the problem went away, so the problem looks to be related to the electrical grid in the area. Try a surge...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Is it possible to backport the SNMP v2c agent from the newer versions (noticed it on an AC68U with 378.5x) to this firmware?

    Does AC68U and AC68P hang for anyone else?

    Do the routers respond to ping after they hang? If they do, can you ssh into them?
