    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 beta is now available for AC models

    Fair enough. Done. Thanks. :) I installed the 386.13.beta1 here on the AC68U and so far so good after a couple of hours. Nothing noteworthy to report after a dirty install.

    Merlin "End of Life" for 386.x firmware implications

    Seeing that my RT-AC68U will be able to run "new" Merlin releases only through 2024, I assume that means my router will technically work, but eventually be vulnerable to security issues, or just that there won't be new Merlin features? Not sure exactly what "end of life" means, but it doesn't...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 beta is now available for AC models

    Just saw the new release and will install the beta over the weekend and report results. Seeing that my RT-AC68U will be able to run "new" Merlin releases only through 2024, I assume that means my router will technically work, but eventually be vulnerable to security issues, or just that there...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12_6 is now available for AC models

    Successfully installed a dirty upgrade on RT-AC68U, on top of 386.12.4 and ran for over a day without problems. This evening, for some reason, wifi just stopped working. Ethernet direct connect just fine. Was able to reboot the router and everything seems back to normal. My 12.4 ran...

    hosts / dnsmasq / Android coordination

    I originally read the 386.11 note, but was on the "ain't broke, don't fix" plan at the time. Ran it with confidence and happiness! I think it will even gain back more memory if/when I do a clean firmware upgrade, but happy for the free gain. :D (latest: 386.11_0) size: 57986 bytes (7550 left)...

    hosts / dnsmasq / Android coordination

    Also, in case it matters, here's a minor section of my Network Map, which shows Bard in the list.

    hosts / dnsmasq / Android coordination

    I undid all changes from my Google suggestion page. Back to DHCP, not static. FYI, here's the NVRAM results from the last two versions of firmware. Looks smaller, but 386.10 was a virgin reinstall and 386.11 was an upgrade. (latest: 386.11_0) size: 59949 bytes (5587 left) (latest: 386.10_0)...

    hosts / dnsmasq / Android coordination

    Aha!!! I think Google and your sentence have gotten my 95% of the way there! https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/features/how-to-change-dns-server-on-android-1672117 I've manually set my IP address on my tablet to the one DHCP assigns it locally in the router (192.168.1.41). I've set the...

    hosts / dnsmasq / Android coordination

    My Asus model is the RT=AC68U and I have many earlier threads where the answer was "put it in the .add files" to conserve NVRAM. Mission accomplished and it's been working fine this way for years. I have 80 machines in the hosts (Bard is just my media server) file and I think the .add files...

    hosts / dnsmasq / Android coordination

    On my Asus/Merlin router, I have both a hosts.add and dnsmasq.conf.add file configured. In them I have the two respective lines to define a local server: 192.168.1.15 Bard dhcp-host=AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA,Bard,192.168.1.15,1440 The server Bard is well configured as per the router. It shows up...

    Request: move custom_clientlist, dhcp_staticlist, and dhcp_hostnames from NVRAM to jffs

    Took me a while to figure out how to do this, so figured I'd answer my own question, in case anyone else has the same issue. Hope this helps! :D =====Custom logo icon for each router device ***** /jffs/usericon/ icon specifications - named <mac-id>.log - resize 85x85 resolution...

    Request: move custom_clientlist, dhcp_staticlist, and dhcp_hostnames from NVRAM to jffs

    Installed 386.10 with a hard factory reset and followed your instructions. Everything is (almost) great. Put all jffs addons/configs/scripts manually back editing them each with vi. Fully functional and as it was before (almost). I wanted the /jffs/usericon logos back. I created them first...

    Request: move custom_clientlist, dhcp_staticlist, and dhcp_hostnames from NVRAM to jffs

    Could be. Grateful it worked. :D No idea why http://router.asus.com/ doesn't work, but don't care. Everything else working great. :D

    Request: move custom_clientlist, dhcp_staticlist, and dhcp_hostnames from NVRAM to jffs

    Well, worked through that problem. Can't seem to access the router via http://router.asus.com/ and my 'hosts' entry of http://dacasus/ did not have access, but going explicitly to http://192.168.1.1/ seemed to do the trick. Finished configuration and all seems stable and wife/son back online...

    Request: move custom_clientlist, dhcp_staticlist, and dhcp_hostnames from NVRAM to jffs

    Through upgrade to 386.9 successfully. Logged in and all looked great! "WPS reset again." OK. Came back on. Asked for password. Asked "Change the router login password." Changed login and password. Asked to login. New login didn't work. Only admin/admin worked. Change router login...
