My AX88U_Pro is currently on 3004.388.8_4; is it safest to move to the released 3006 version before trying this beta?

For various reasons I have multiple phones with mobile hotspot plans and fairly large monthly data allocations. I semi-tested with one of those phones tethered via USB, but I wouldn't call it a full validation--more of a "I wonder if it'll actually work?". Once I decide which of my broadband...

@Tech9 in your experience, is the feature more reliable with a USB-based secondary? I actually did experience a genuine service outage and it failed over, but the failback is definitely not reliable. This was for hookups via ethernet, though.

Seems that the feature almost works correctly, but almost isn't good enough.

Is a correct interpretation of this that 'Dual WAN w/failover/fallback" is not reliable? I've never had the occasion to use it until the last month, when I signed up for ATT Fiber but still have Charter/Spectrum running to ensure I like ATT. Spectrum is set up as the secondary. It definitely...

So the advice is really "be aware that the features in the two firmwares aren't identical, so understand what you want and need before moving to merlin."

Could you give some a brief summary of the rationale for the advice of steering clear of merlin firmware on this device?

Were there more than 100 lines in it? That technique will work with a standard linux/unix syslog because that code does an `fseek` to end-of-file before every write, thus it properly detects file truncation (or shortening). If the logger that's used inside merlin doesn't use that practice and...

I'm not sure why I thought this wouldn't work, but y'all are correct. It didn't work for *me* because at the time, my laptop was connected into the office via VPN, and VPN grabs all traffic not on the same subnet as my local address. The phone app doesn't find the TMO router b/c it uses some...

That script will fail at some point when the content of however many lines overruns the maximum command buffer size for `/bin/sh` as part of the `echo $(tail ...)` Safest is to do something like: tmpfilename="/tmp/mktemp.$$" tail -n $LINES $LOGFILE > $tmpfilename cat $tmpfilename > $LOGFILE rm...

is there a feature in merlin either directly or as an add-on that would permit me to access the web-based mgmt portal of an upstream device? I'm trying out a T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway to see if it can replace my hard line. The jury is still out on the raw service for me because they're...
