It depends on the UPS. The beeper status was persistent on both of my APc units. I use NUT to monitor UPS and to initiate shutdown of my servers prior to UPS battery critical to protect my systems.

@kramttocs just looking at your post 39 above and saw you were using the -u option. Did NUT just up and stop working out of the blue on you? After a firmware upgrade?

Entware was developed for OpenWRT where the root user is root. For me, I just used the -u switch with the various NUT component executables to specify my router login ID. Glad you got it working via the config files. I may go that route too. Seems cleaner.

Thanks @ColinTaylor

I am looking to be a bit proactive and backup some of the more critical memory areas of my AX86U-Pro, such as the MTD10 partition, where a lot of the WiFi data is stored. That way, should I ever have to replace the NAND chip or reformat it due to corruption, I can restore the information...

+1 - This is what I do using a Google email setup just for the router. I use both SMS and email notifications using a single script that I wrote, which I can call from any other script I'm using. The other two options sound like neat things to play around with. Except I won't give $5 bucks US...

EDIT: I found the issue.... I had to change the syslog error level from ERROR to WARNING. All tests are passing now. Will have to wait to see if I start getting any stats now. I finally took the plunge and update Skynet to the most recent version of Ver8. After a week, I have no stats...

The AC68U is still a capable router. Install DD-WRT on it. Will give years more service. I have one still running as an AP (using Dd-WRT).

I have run NUT on my various Asus-Merlin Routers for a few years. The router shuts down my various systems when the battery reaches critical and puts the router into a safe state (i.e; sync;sync;halt). I did run into a race condition that prevented the HID drivers from starting sometimes on a...

Try a different browser. My AX86U Pro (running on 388 firmware) is experiencing the same issue as you - very sluggish and slow to respond on Chrome. Using Brave, the GUI is its normal snappy self.

Bonus!! Funny story with my ISP (Bell Canada Business) - and I put this out there for @Tech9 - I was offered a 1.5 Gbits/1 Gbits service on a special offer. A big step up from the 75/75 mbits service I was using. Not needing a 1.5 GBits service, I tried to get a lower speed service for a...

You can call your ISP and see if they are willing to give you a public IP. Otherwise, connect to your network through IPv6 as you have already indicated that you are getting an ipv6 address

Most Asus Merlin use Entware. It is somewhat the backbone of doing all the extras on the router. You can use the router's builtin amtm script to install entware. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/AMTM

Just making sure of things... Do you have Entware installed?

Besides this being an old thread, any changes you make to the passwd directly will not survive a reboot. I believe Merlin has a postconf script you can use to make changes to the passwd file, if required.
