    amtm Why does amtm install Entware armv7sf-k2.6n builds that are running the 4.1.52 kernel

    Yeah, makes sense.... Well thanks for looking into it.... I'll remove and re-install one of these days when I feel like torturing myself.... in the meantime, if it ain't broke... screw with it until it is... LOL

    amtm Why does amtm install Entware armv7sf-k2.6n builds that are running the 4.1.52 kernel

    Hm.... I hadn't thought of that... I suppose that's a possibility.... so question... is there a way to force Entware to the newer kernel version without losing everything i've got installed? (i.e. is remove entware and re-install the only way?)

    amtm Why does amtm install Entware armv7sf-k2.6n builds that are running the 4.1.52 kernel

    Is this just a case of least commong denominator, or is there a bug in the entware_setup.mod script? I see the setup script has this section: armv7l) PART_TYPES='ext2|ext3|ext4' if [ "$(v_c $(uname -r))" -ge "$(v_c 3.2)" ]; then...

    How to open ipv6 firewall to a port on the router?

    sure.... when you've got a USB gps plugged into it.... Chrony gets its time reference from the GPS, so by the time the router is actually responding to any ntp pool requests its got a stratum 1 time source.

    How to open ipv6 firewall to a port on the router?

    So, after much digging, I found the answer to my question. Seems you CAN'T open a port to the router's IPv6 address from the IPv6 firewall in the web UI. I expect this may have something to do with the fact that rules added there are added to the FORWARD chain in ip6tables, and when its the...

    Philips Hue - LAN Port to be part of YazFi Wireless Guest Network Subnet

    Its not a question of Philips doing anything nefarious to my network... Its the fact that these IoT devices typically don't see firmware upgrades, so may be vulnerable to security exploits that then can be used by nefarious people as a gateway into the rest of your network.

    How to open ipv6 firewall to a port on the router?

    My isp provides native ipv6 support and it's enabled. Ipv6 works as it should. So let's say I run a web server, and I want to expose it via ipv6... That works, I put in my web servers ipv6 address and the port in the ipv6 firewall rules, and traffic is allowed through to that server...

    Philips Hue - LAN Port to be part of YazFi Wireless Guest Network Subnet

    No, I don't think everyone understands what this person is trying to do.... I think I'm trying to do the same thing... So.... lets say I'm using YazFi, I've got an isolated guest network for all my IOT devices on 192.168.6.0/24 subnet to keep them isolated from my primary network.... Well, I've...

    Asus Captive Portal

    The BRT-AC828, 4G-AC68U, 4G-AC86U, 4G-AX56 models all support captive portal.. A rather nice one from what I can see. I wonder if those firmwares are also open source, and that capability could be ported into Merlin?

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.17 (and 384.13_8) are now available

    Ever since I installed 384.13_8 on my AC-3200 I have to reboot at least once or twice a day because the 2.4 GHz radio seems to go down... (If I look at the connected devices, 5ghz devices are connected but nothing 2.4ghz)a reboot and all my 2.4ghz devices will then connect. Reverting back to...

    YazFi YazFi - enhanced AsusWRT-Merlin Guest WiFi inc. SSID <-> VPN Client

    I just discovered this, and absolutely love how it handles the guest wifi as separate subnets.... and setup was so simple. I do have but one request, that I'm hoping you can tell me how to do. I run pihole on a raspberry pi to cut down on ads, which is 192.168.1.2 in the primary subnet I would...
