    Windows could not automatically detect the proxy settings, default gateway not available?

    The router is not rebooting itself. I checked that. So far, I have not found anything which I have recognized in the syslog as pertaining to the problem, but maybe I need to change my logging level. It happens on both wired and wireless connections.

    Windows could not automatically detect the proxy settings, default gateway not available?

    I frequently receive the "Windows could not automatically detect the proxy settings" error or a similar error about "The default gateway is not available." This happens on multiple machines. Sometimes using the windows network trouble shooter can fix the condition, sometimes, not. Sometimes...

    low cpu, higher load

    Ok, it is nice to know that everyone thinks it is fine. Often when you have a high load, low cpu there is a bottleneck, just somewhere else other than cpu, disk, swap, io or something. For some reason other than cpu busy, a process is being placed in a wait state.

    Odd lockup with Merlin

    I am running Merlin 384.13 on an RT-AC86U. I love all the features, DoH, etc. I have a situation which i can't seem to track down which causes the router to lock down forcing a complete reset when it happens. Sometimes when I cycle the power or when it is cycled for me. The router will come...

    Suricata 4 on Asuswrt-Merlin

    Marco I hope you get feeling better! Anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce the memory requirements? It is not uncommon to have over 1GB in swap allocated and that is a bit too much for my AC68. This should be able to be mitigated with some settings changes, but I have not been...
