    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I just did a dirty upgrade of my RT-AC3100 from 384.19_0 to 386.1_0. Firmware upgrade took about 3 minutes as expected. Afterwards, both wired and wireless internet seemed ok. Web interface unresponsive, and as noted by Merlin and so many others, to just wait for the database upgrade. I...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    I do QoS at work, and have a VoIP phone while working from home. So here goes... I'm thinking QoS won't really help in the OP's senerio. QoS is great to prioritize traffic, but it's mostly helpful on the transmit side of a connection. If a large amount of download traffic (like Steam updates)...

    ASUS RT-AC88U Dual WAN in Load Balance

    I just started to test a T-Mobile Home Internet LTE Gateway as Secondary. Like craigeryjohn and akmes, I opt'd for Load Balance instead of Fail Over mode. I my case, I wanted to use the Routing rules so I could force a Nest Hello doorbell to go out the T-Mobile WAN connection as it has higher...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    Ok very good. On a side note, I discovered this as I'm graphing my AC3100 with Cacti and polling via SNMP. The SNMP interface data has outbound/TX but no inbound/RX data also. Now that I know this is normal I'll stop trying to troubleshoot it.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    (Apologies if this has been pointed out before.) I just noticed something strange. After ssh'ing into the router, noticed that an "ifconfig" command yields a few interfaces with zero RX bytes. TX byte data appears to be fine though.

    RT-AC66U - During heavy download CPU maxes & WiFi fails - is this normal?

    I know this is an aging thread but wanted to post since I recently received an upgrade from 60/4 mbps to 100/10 mbps download/upload speeds respectively. I also upgraded from an RT-AC66U to a RT-AC3100. QoS enabled on both during speed tests (so hardware acceleration disabled). The RT-AC66U...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    Decision made. I wanted to share with the thread that I returned the Netgear R8000 and purchased a Asus RT-AC3100 (HW Ver A5). Installed and working well on merlin 382.1_beta2 firmware. The router is sitting on one of those closet-wire shelves. Because of all the posts of the AC3100 running...

    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    I'm going to add a "me too" to this thread. Last week, I installed a 2nd RT-Ac3100 Refurbished unit (first one received was missing a part so sent it back). It worked great initially, but started having 5G problems a few hours later. Watching it with a wifi analyzer, I can actually see the 5...

    That was fast! I look forward to testing the next beta.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry not sure if I made myself clear. After filling out the Custom form including the hostname, a popup dialog box appears indicating a password is needed. I'm thinking that password popup on the web gui is a mistake. At that point I just cancel. I was using the my...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    I just upgraded to RT-AC3100. Installed 382 Beta 2 firmware. Custom DDNS not working right. Requires a password but there's no password field on the web page to fill in. (I have it hard-coded in my script anyway.) On a side note, hostname field is also required but don't know the variable...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.48 is out

    I have the exact same problem with either 376.48_1 or 376.48_3. I've also tried various combinations of setting it manually at the command prompt: nvram set wl1.1_macmode="disabled" nvram commit Nothing can turn off the Guest MAC filter once the main MAC filter is enabled. I've turned...

    Netflow

    I managed to get Netflow working on Entware using the package "ipcad". I'm not an expert, but here are simple install instructions I managed to google/piece together: 1. Install ipcad and libpcap (install command installed both for me) opkg update opkg install ipcad 2. Edit ipcad config...
