NTP works on your 384.19 in Repeater mode. The syslog doesn't even show any attempt to do NTP on 386.2 I will say, that Asus's official firmware has several serious bugs when using Repeater mode since 386.40558, and their bugs are also in your recent versions. So, I am trying to notify Asus...

NTP still doesn't work with Asus_Merlin 386.2 It works with Asus 386.41994 My router is RT-AC68U in Repeater mode.

RT-AC68U with 386.2 beta 2 in Repeater mode: ok, did factory reset, and still see same problems:- - Network map, security status: Open System (false) - Network map, client view: No local clients shown - System log - wireless log: Shows local clients, but can not set nicknames problems solved by...

It would be nice, if the firmware identified itself in system log after reboot.

rebooted RT-AC68U with 386.2 beta 2 in Repeater mode. NTP still not done, and shows date/time 3 years ago Last NTP was done 9 hours ago, when I was still running official ASUS (41nnn). It got into bad habit of rebooting by itself every so often, so I decided to try Merlin again.

sure, but it doesn't make any difference. these observations were also there on Merlin 386.1 where I *did* do hard factory reset, and are common for recent versions of both ASUS official and Merlin firmwares. So, probably not even a Merlin bug.

Using 386.2 beta 2 on RT-AC68U running in Repeater mode. Installed over ASUS official 385_20633-g593a8ef (no factory reset) Parent router is Netgear R7800, connected on 5ghz, 702Mbps, RSSI -61 dBm. Observations:- - Network map . . clients, view list: Does not show locally wifi-connected...

RT-AC68U in Repeater mode - upgraded from 384.19_0 to 386.1_2 - oddities the upstream router is a Netgear R7800, which provides DHCP service clients connected to RT-AC68U are invisible on RT-AC68U "view list" (both wireless and wired), but can be seen in NG-R7800's "attached devices" clients...

Thanks for the ultra fast response. Asus should make a press release "we have a patch". 66_4 has run 8 hours on my RT-AC68U with good performance and stability on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Bravo, bravo!!

oooooh! It may be simpler than I thought. I did not think you may reserve IP outside the dynamic range, but there was no complaint when I changed range from 100-254 to 200-254, while keeping the known reserved addresses. I don't think that was allowed on my old D-link DIR-655, but it looks...

Woooow! :) That is fantastic, and hardly surprising that Rmerlin already had a fix on the way. I had checked the beta 67 changelog.txt, but not the github text. Will install on my RT-AC68U, when it becomes available.

What happens when the laptop PC or mobile phone is outside your Router's domain, f.e.x when children visit their friends, and connect to their home Routers there? the PC should not be locked to my home network, so it has to use DHCP client. I also like the quick glance based on the IP, so I...

I would like to assign IP addresses in groups like this:- - static devices, f.ex. printers, file shares, and media servers - 192.168.1.10 - 99 - home users, f.ex. PC's, tablets, mobiles - 192.168.1.100 - 199 (may use file share and media) - guest users - 192.168.1.200 - 250 (may use printer...

Asus Router uses SMB v3.6 on Linux kernel v2.6 (armv7) Synology uses SMB v4.4 on Linux kernel v2.6 (armv5tel) Should I worry about the fileshare on my router? ref: http://www.databreachtoday.com/samba-patch-critical-bug-now-us-cert-warns-a-9947

When did you start using syslog watcher? Before or after the gap ? On 23rd May or 25th May? I have had syslog server on Synology DiskStation for quite some time, but it is definitely possible that it got reset when I came back from dd-wrt to Merlin 380.66. My router was reset and booted with...
