Any ideas why my N16 drops out of tftpd (rescue mode -- restore held on power up until power led starts flashing) the moment I connect any live ethernet cable to any of the four LAN ports? It basically starts booting up. The same applies to the WAN port. I messed up something in the build so...

Yeah, that makes sense. In fact, that's exactly what I did. Took it from 382... Thanks again!

This is embarrassing but I have to admit to it. I've upgraded OpenVPN to 2.4.4 not knowing about those custom changes...

Thanks! Will try to figure out where it's failing.

On N66U and AC3200 (others possibly too), 380.68_4, the EXPORT button for client config file never becomes available. The reason is that the nvram variable vpn_server1_state stays 1. I checked the source code and by the end of the function call start_vpnserver() the state is set to 2 but only...

No response from the OP, but I would like to bring this to Merlin's attention if possible. I played around with this a little more and found out that the serverX-fw.sh script does get run yet the rules are not in place. In my opinion, it leaves only one option left: another iptables instance is...

Enabling OpenVPN server on your Asus should create all necessary iptables rules. However, just a moment ago I ran into an issue where those rules do NOT get created on reboot even though the /etc/openvpn/fw/serverX-fw.sh file is created and contains the right entries. Can you check or paste...

Hey Merlin, guys, For both ARM and MIPS, is it safe to upgrade from 378.53 to the latest without the need to clear the NVRAM? If no, is there any workaround? If yes, are there any other potential minor issues to look out for? Thanks for your time!

I found the solution someplace else in the forum. The problem is related to a borked configure script in router/netatalk-3.0.5. No idea why my clean git clone did not get the right version but if you ever run into this problem again, simply do cd router/netatalk-3.0.5/ rm configure git...

Anyone knows what the reason for this is? arm-brcm-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc: @LIBADD_DL@: No such file or directory My 378.53 compilation always crashes on netatalk afpd with the above error. Edit: Forgot to add that I am on a supported ubuntu with seemingly all of the required packages. The...

What Adamm said, or simply so that you are in control and you know when a further action needs to be taken.

Thanks M! For those interested, the relevant code resides in rc/services.c under handle_notifications() ... if (nvram_contains_word("rc_support", "nandflash")) /* RT-AC56S,U/RT-AC68U/RT-N16UHP */ eval("mtd-write2", upgrade_file, "linux"); else eval("mtd-write", "-i", upgrade_file, "-d"...

Hey folks, I am trying to find a way to implement an automated firmware upgrade process. I went through some of the "relevant" source code but cannot seem to pinpoint the exact mechanism of how AsusWRT handles upgrading firmware manually from the website. If I am not mistaken, somewhere along...

Right you are guys, as I constantly keep rebuilding the firmware, such a simple solution completely slipped my mind. As john9527 said, you have to replace the line with what you need. If you simply remove the line, dnsmasq, by default, uses 0.0.0.0.

I am assuming I understand the problem described. As 99% of the rc base is compiled-in, the code responsible for this behaviour can be found under release/src/router/rc/services.c on line 783 fprintf(fp, "dhcp-option=lan,6,%s,0.0.0.0\n", value); which should generate a dnsmasq config file...
