    AC3100 384.4_2 SAMBA error 0x8007003b after 10% file xfer

    I had a similar experience with my RT-AC68U (technically RT-AC56U hacked) running Merlin's 386.2_4 firmware. I would transfer a batch of large files over to my attached USB storage on USB 2.0 port and it would fail within seconds (e.g., fast 10 MB/s would then suddenly drop down to 0). Windows...

    Asus RT-AC56U worth reviving?

    I acknowledge that this is about a year old thread, but it's worth noting that AC56U can be repurposed as a AC68U clone (with some minor issues that might be fixable) and allow the router to have extended life with Merlin's current 386 firmware (2021+).

    Asus RT-AC68U NVRAM maxed out

    If you haven't already seen this thread here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/router-running-low-on-free-nvram-yellow-alert-notice.69861/ take a look at it to free up your NVRAM. I'm in a similar position like you where it seems that my NVRAM is starting to get filled up. Time to clean it up...

    i upgrade firmware my ac86u from 384.19 to 386.1_2. Now i cannot access asus router settings page.

    I'm currently in the middle of this where I updated my main router (Wireless Router mode) RT-AC68R and the web GUI is being unresponsive. At first, no wireless connection was available. I power cycled the router to see if wireless connection shows up. It does, but I prematurely power cycled...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    I just updated my slave router with 386.2 beta (RT-AC68U) set on "Repeater Mode", and it shows on index page (front page) that the "Security level" is "Open System", which is incorrect. Bug? On the side of the Security Level under System Status, the slave router shows that encryption is enabled...

    Aimesh on RT-AC56U

    Thanks for the instructions. The only thing I would suggest adding is in step 10, if "bus error" pops up, just ignore it. I was able to convert my RT-AC56U to RT-AC68U. At first, I did try AiMesh, but wasn't satisfied with its limited control on the AiMesh node (the RT-AC56U). I use my slave...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    I'm not sure if anybody experienced what I experienced recently: I remotely viewed my RT-AC68R with HTTPS (with Merlin's 384.9 firmware running for 12 days) and saw that CPU core #2 was at 100% for a while. This wasn't normal, so I decided to reboot the router (GUI reboot button). I waited for...

    AC86U - 2.4Ghz Band Dropping Connection

    Although I do not have the same router, lately I've been experiencing 2.4 GHz instability with Merlin's 384.6. I'll have to see if the alpha previously mentioned, if available for 68U & 56U.

    Slow transfer rates from HDD attached to RT-AC68

    What's the file system format of the USB HDD, just out of curiosity? As for any suggestion to troubleshoot, would you happen to have a USB flash drive on hand so that you can format it to different file system formats that your Asus router can accept, such as FAT32, NTFS, EXT3 to copy a 10 GB...

    Overclocking RT-AC56U

    You can do it with a 2018 version, assuming Windows 7: 0. Enable telnet from the router's Administration (left side menu), System (tab), Service (section). 1. Install (enable) Telnet built in for Windows 7...

    [Preview] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.3 pre-release test builds

    Thanks. I flashed it the first time over Wi-Fi (RT-AC68U [wireless router] -> RT-AC56U [repeater]) and it semi-bricked the router. Never happened with all the flashing done over Wi-Fi with both routers. I powered down the RT-AC56U and powered it back up (via power button in the back of the...

    Overclocking RT-AC56U

    @Special-K , just do incremental overclocking and see where the performance and temperature are stable. Same technique with overclocking CPUs in PCs...
