Can blocking these domains 163.com and netease.com using host file prevent the download an unknown binary file from the server? Thanks for this.

You can find cheap stuffs online. Look for cheap used AC68Us and AC86Us in your area. I was able to buy used AC86U and AC68U on our local online market for 20 USD each on separate occasions. The AC86U I got doesn't have any antennas. The AC68U doesn't came with antenna and power adapter. I...

Factory reset the router then I suggest connect a cables from your AC86u LAN port to the AC68u WAN port. Then try run the Ai-Mesh pairing mode. Also, if you're using the Asus router app make sure you remove the AC68u from the list of devices. I noticed that this interferes with the Ai-Mesh...

Thanks L&LD!

Just want to ask a quick question. Is the Ookla speedtest under Adapative QoS also included in the official asus fw with v386 or is it only exclusive to Asus_merlin fw? I'm checking the change logs for the official fw for AC68u and the latest http://demoui.asus.com/ is doesn't say that its...

Done updating my AC68U C1 and AC68 A1(node) from 384.19 then dirty flash to 386.1. So far everything went fine.

yes, that's what I did. Both routers are running on Meron 384.19 and AI-Mesh was properly setup. Normally, you wont be able to access the AI-Mesh node and will redirect you to the main AI-Mesh router. But when you SSH to the AI-Mesh Node running nvram set re_mode=0 will let you access the GUI...

Just new with AI-Mesh. But after accessing the GUI of the AI-Mesh node its shows that its just on repeater mode. I'm currently on wireless 5ghz backhual.

Thanks for confirming that I can update directly to the latest Merlin FW via GUI. :)

Okay, I already have an AC68U running Merlin 384.19 and I bought a another cheap old AC68U C1 with 3.0.0.4.380_3264 for 20USD. I'd like to run AI-Mesh to extend my network. My question is can I just flash this old AC68U C1 with 3.0.0.4.380_3264 to Merlin 384.19 via web gui directly? Or do I...

Actually I did search the thread before posting. It was already asked here but it got no response. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/release-asuswrt-merlin-384-16-and-384-13_6-are-now-available.63120/page-15#post-568941

I like the new traffic meter. Is there a option we can have the values in bits per second? Thanks.

FYI, even if i have the cron job running to execute service restart_httpd every 6 hours there are times I need to pull up Putty and run service restart_httpd manually. I found the culprit causing the web gui to hang and its the Asus Router app from my android phone. Everytime I use the app and...

cru a restart-webgui-at-6-hours "0 */6 * * * service restart_httpd" #every 6 hours You can also just run that line over telnet with out adding a script. That's what I did and it performs a service restart_httpd every 6 hours. The drawback is if you restart or power off your router you need to...

I was always getting a web gui lockup if I use the Asus router app. Nice to know I can fix it with out power cycling the router.
