    RT-AX58U with RT-AC68U AiMesh node - all devices dropping from all networks regularly

    I've been seeing something very similar...basically a "mass reconnection event" that occurs a few times a day. Looking back in the logs, for me, it began roughly concurrent with version 10_0 (1H October). I haven't spent much time investigating it because I haven't seen any negative effects...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.10 is now available

    Dirty upgrade on RT-AX86U from 3004.388.9_2 to 3004.388.10. No issues whatsoever.

    no intranet with WireGuard last firmware Merlin

    If you're running the Wireguard client under windows, this may help: I had to manually change Wireguard to a private network (while keeping the overlying WiFi network defined as a public network) before I could access my intranet. After making that change, I was able to access intranet devices...

    AX86U Pro as NAS

    I can't speak to the experiences of others, but I've been using both the Samba and media server functionality for years without issue. I've never seen a RAM spike or high CPU usage. RAM usage is about 40% and stable. CPU usage only runs high when the media server is indexing after a reboot...

    ASUS RT-AX86U Network Share Problem

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I gave this a try. Samba threw a warning in the log that the command was in the wrong section of the .conf file. I used this .postconf script that cleared the warning and put the command in the [global] section where it wanted it: #!/bin/sh CONFIG=$1 if...

    Wireguard Wireguard: No access to LAN on Windows 11 Client

    I'm running the Wireguard VPN server on an RT-AX86U. I use 3 clients: 1 android, 1 Win 10 and 1 Win 11 client. Config files are identical except for the address and keys. I can access my LAN devices and Samba shares without issue on the android and the Win 10 clients. I cannot access...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    Just brainstorming....things that I would do to further diagnose: - is your media server visible to Windows (explorer network page) as a media device? - if you activate your Windows Media Server on your PC, do your Roku clients see it? - is the miniDLNA process running on your router ("top n 1"...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    Google "ssh to asus router" for instructions on how to access router files. This video: is a good reference also. Note that, once you log on, commands are Linux commands... forward slash vs. backslash, cp to copy, ls to list files, rm to delete a file, etc. You log in using the same...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    An additional test that can be run is to turn off and on the media server via the GUI without rebooting the router (be sure "rebuild database at start" set to "yes"). As both devices remain mounted through that step, that would either suggest or eliminate any sequential mounting effect on the...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    If you find that it's an indexing issue, one of the problems that arises when media files are spread across multiple physical devices is that miniDLNA restarts every time a device is mounted, and the indexing process gets interrupted. This comes into play when the router is started or rebooted...

    UPnP Media Server not being "seen" from AX86U Pro - Ideas?

    I would first look to see if your media files are being scanned and indexed correctly. In the minidlna.conf file (located in /etc), you should find a line "db_dir=". That will point to where miniDLNA is building its sql database (files.db). That file can be copied to another location and...

    Solved: RT-AX86U Required /jffs Restore

    I should think about that, thanks. I copy log files to the USB every 12 hours and I create a .tar file of /jffs /etc and nvram once a week. I had thought that was enough, but I may have just learned that it's not.

    Solved: RT-AX86U Required /jffs Restore

    First thing this morning, I noted that my phone was not connected to my network. Android threw a "unexpected security handshake error" or something similar, and suggested a router reboot. I attempted to connect via PC/ethernet without success...connection refused. I rebooted twice before I...

    AX56U traffic log questions.

    I use the standard process to save the traffic monitor file to USB every hour. I prefer to keep the daily traffic data for the long term, though, so I run a "copy_logs" script every morning as a scheduled cron job. It performs a number of housekeeping functions, including archiving the system...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    I'm running a media server on RT-AC68U with 386.14 - no issues. If I recall correctly, the 386 branch is still on version 1.2 of minidlna, which has been unchanged for some time. As others have said, suggest removing minidlna.postconf temporarily and see if it builds a db based only on the...
