    Need help with system log interpretation

    My merlin-powered RT-AC68U was recently becoming extremely lethargic. After reviewing the logs, I found nearly constant brute force attempts at my OpenVPN server. Once I moved away from the standard port, that stopped. However, ever since the logs are flooded with these DROP entries. I've set...

    Network Services Filter not blocking pings?

    I apologize if this is too much of a noob question, but I'm trying to convince my brother to use my old RT-AC68U. He's using the NSF, but when he blocks a given computer (either specific IP or IP range /24), while it does block LAN to WAN traffic (all ports left blank), the PC can still ping...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    BINGO! Running on 385_6 now. My problem had to do with a auto-reversion due to some "partition" oversights. TY!

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    Good to know. Let me get back to that point, and I'll make sure I go from _4 to _5 via the admin panel (or restoration util) w/o a USB installed :)

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    Actually, the fact that it would work on anything other than Asus-flavored firmware made me dig a little deeper. This, it turns out, is one of those they-who-shall-not-be-named converts. Apparently something got missed in a step eons ago, and now came back to bite me. I am now on the right...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    I appreciate your help. Well, still no bueno. The pattern is the same regardless of whether I install merlin or stock - it goes through all the motions, but ultimately fails. On a whim, I just attempted to install the DD-WRT firmware (which I had used eons ago before switching fully to...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    Prior to your post, I had not tried it with 386.3.2. Also the firmware restoration utility I was using was apparently not the latest. After updating it to Asus' most recent offering, it did show progress all the way to 100% when pushing the 3.2 FW. Unfortunately, it then indicated: "Failed...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    Ha, that always makes me feel like me :) If I had a nickel every time I was told, "We've never seen that happen before..." Thanks for the suggestions. I was going to include those additional steps and background, but didn't want it to get too wordy. Last thing I did was flash stock FW and let...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    I posted this two pages back and had no replies. I'll rewrite it shorter in hopes it snags someone's attention. My 68U was on 386_4 and I went for the stable release 386_5. I didn't realize I needed to pull the USB (skynet/diversion) when I initiated the update. There were no errors, and...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    I apologize if this has been addressed in the previous 9 pages, but I could not find it. I tried updating from _4 to _5 on my RT-AC68U using the admin page. All appeared to work, no errors, however, it ended up stuck on the mini-cfe page. I apparently forgot to pull the USB stick (diversion)...

    AC68U OpenVPN server won't allow more than one credentialed user...

    Ah, sorry @RMerlin, I didn't realize that thread existed. Will head over there. Thanks for the reply.

    AC68U OpenVPN server won't allow more than one credentialed user...

    No, unfortunately. And based on the lack of replies, I felt like it was probably just unique to how I set things up. In my case, I'm using this at home - so having multiple credentialed users isn't critical. I just wanted to have a unique one for myself and my wife. For now, we're just both...

    AC68U OpenVPN server won't allow more than one credentialed user...

    Under the Merlin firmware (386.2_beta1), under VPN/OpenVPN server, I've successfully generated and applied the ovpn config files and they work perfectly on multiple android devices (using openvpn connect) - however, I am only able to save a single username/password credential set under the...

    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    My apologies for coming late to the party. After reading all they hype on the AiMesh improvements, I purchased two RT-AC68U's (TMO units flashed to 68U). However, after upgrading to the latest firmware on the first post (Dec 15), both routers have the same LAN and WIFI MAC addresses. That...

    ASUS RT-N56U beta firmware

    I'm not familiar enough with routing tables to accomplish this. Besides, with 30+ devices that need WAN>LAN access (security cameras, thermostat, powerstrip, router, several PCs,sprinkler, alarm system, etc), I don't know how a single entry could point to all those devices. As it turns out...
