    Running Asus routers on battery

    I've tried asking Asus support but just got the "use our power supply or else" type response. All I asked was what are the **actual** power supply requirements for their routers. I.e. what are the maximum and minimum voltages for the router to operate. I want to run from batteries if I can so...

    Reducing power consumption - possible to any extent?

    I'm running asuswrt-merlin on an RT-BE92U and an RT-AC86U. I'm looking at providing power using a UPS as we do have the occasional power cut here. The RT-BE92U in particular is quite a power hungry beast. Are there any things (processes, unnecessary hardware, etc.) that one can turn off to...

    Does minidlna get installed by default (asuswrt-merlin 3006.102.5)

    OK, thanks, that was it. For some reason it was enabled, I'm pretty sure I didn't enable it. (I do have a USB drive as I use entware and opkg).

    Does minidlna get installed by default (asuswrt-merlin 3006.102.5)

    I am trying to get a new (to me) RT-BE92U configured. I ran nmap on the WAN side and it shows that minidlna is running with port 8200 open. Is minidlana installed automatically with 3006.102.5? What's the easiest way of uninstalling it? Can I just use opkg to remove it?

    How to set VLAN ID for internet connection on RT-BE92U

    I'm in the UK, I don't think there's any UK ISPs listed. Yes, but installing the latest asuswrt-merlin makes that disappear, that's the problem that made me ask the question! :)

    How to set VLAN ID for internet connection on RT-BE92U

    OK, thanks, that's brilliant. There's currently a problem with the connection so I can't try it out yet, I'll report if it works when I'm able.

    How to set VLAN ID for internet connection on RT-BE92U

    OK, thanks, what should the other parameter be set to? Leave it at 0?

    How to set VLAN ID for internet connection on RT-BE92U

    I have a new (to me) RT-BE92U that I'm aiming to use with my new fibre broadband connection. The ONT box uses PPOE to connect and it requires a VLAN ID in addition to the user name and password. Installing the Asuswrt-Merlin software (version 3006.102.53) means that the VLAN ID setting in the...

    Throughput/bandwidth of asuswrt-merlin supported routers

    Nothing really, that's why I asked the question! :-) I just didn't have any idea of throughput. I doubt if I'll be pushing its limits especially as much of what's connected to it is hard-wired rather than WiFi.

    Throughput/bandwidth of asuswrt-merlin supported routers

    Brilliant! Thank you for such a quick reply. That means I can continue using the RT-AC86U. Well, it will have to change roles, I currently have a DSL-AC68U running the Gnuton variant handling my VDSL. Not having to deal with a new router as well as a new connection will simplify the...

    Throughput/bandwidth of asuswrt-merlin supported routers

    I am shortly going to get fibre broadband connected to my home. I'll probably go for a 900Mb/s connection though faster and slower ones are available and router performance may affect my choice. Which asuswrt-merlin routers will comfortably manage 900Mb/s throughput? I currently have an...

    ASUS RT-AX59U to be supported by Merlin?

    Can someone clarify/extend this a little please. I assume that "The RT-AX59U is a MediaTek device." means that the RT-AX59U uses Mediatek hardware. Is a consequence of this that asuswrt-merlin simply can't support it? I am just about to get a fibre connection to my house and one of the ISPs...

    Asus 4G-N16 DDNS

    What I do with my router (and Raspberry Pi) behind a CGNAT (4G mobile) connection is to get the Raspberry Pi to set up an ssh reverse tunnel to a system where I have access and then I can ssh into the Raspberry Pi from outside.

    Telnet 'default' password 4G-N16

    Did you (OP) ever get any farther with this? I.e. did you manage to get past the stage where everything you try just returns "operation failed: Permission denied"? I am at the same place, the only command that works is 'ls' which shows the sort of expected things in / on a Linux system. Even...

    Can port forwarding do failover to an alternative server?

    Yes, I realise it's not built in to a standard Asuswrt-Merlin configuration but I was wondering if anyone has done it or if there's an Entware package that provides anything like this. By the way I should have said in my original question this is on a DSL-AC68U running 386.10_0-gnuton1.
