    Exporting Certificates from LetsEncrypt

    nm - I missed that this certificate is meant only for the webui. In that case, it's better that I have my own processes for using letsencrypt and I upload the certs up to asuswrt-merlin.

    Exporting Certificates from LetsEncrypt

    I was recently surprised and delighted that Asuswrt-Merlin has letsencrypt built-in. I see through the GUI that there is an 'Export' button so I can grab the certificates for my webservers. How can I programmatically access those certificates so I don't have to go through the GUI? Through...

    Google Wifi Questions

    Some additional comments if you decide to go through with Google WiFi. I was previously running an ASUS RT-N66U for 6-7 years on Merlin's firmware. After moving, I got AT&T Gigabit Fiber (wired 880/634 Mbps down/up) so I thought it was time to try out AC on some of these new mesh networks. So...

    Google Wifi Questions

    1. I don't know. 2. Same SSID - I don't know the details of how the handshake goes but your devices will only see one SSID. 3. No. The hardware in each puck is identical. However, during the setup, the puck that is connected to the modem is designated as the master. The slaves may talk to...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    Many thanks, John, for a great utility. I managed to upgrade from 376.47_0 to 380.67_0, on a RT-N66U, with just a few edits to my nvram-restore. The details are here. Your QuickStart.txt was so detailed, walking through all the funky cases - simply indispensable!

    Firmware upgrade 376.47 to?

    On a RT-N66U, I just upgraded from 376.47_0 to 380.67_0. - Ran Save/Restore Utility onto an USB stick. - Upgraded to 380.67_0 - Got the exclamation mark with "Your router is running low on free NVRAM, which might affect its stability. Review nvram-intensive settings such as OpenVPN, or...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.47 is out

    OpenVPN Now Working [upgraded from 3.0.0.4.354.29] I just wanted to follow-up from my post earlier in this thread about getting OpenVPN to work from earlier versions. Here are some tricks that I've found (thought I'd post them in case others may find it useful): I no longer use the...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.47 is out

    Thanks - that's good to know. FWIW, with the updated FW, I still cannot ping my GW - although openVPN connects fine. I suspect that either the configuration files are out-of-sync or something is wrong with my routing configuration. I will start a new thread listing my .ovpn files to...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.47 is out

    openVPN Server tab gone! Ack! The openVPN Server tab has disappeared. Edit OK - I see that the tabs have been integrated now (v.nice!!!) I think I got the server up - will try logging in from the outside later today. Does this mean that these comments about configuring...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.47 is out

    Just upgraded from 3.0.0.4.354.29 I recently updated all my openVPN keys and couldn't get routing to work (although the openVPN connection to the N66U as an OpenVPN Server worked fine) - I couldn't even ping the default GW! I found this odd as it seemed to be working fine before. So I...

    SSH vs OpenVPN

    I've used ssh for terminal use and for tunneling for years and years. Now, I exclusively use openVPN - ssh is only used as a backup, in extremely rare cases. The biggest advantage of openVPN is convenience. With ssh, I used to have issues with accessing intranet services like mediawiki or...

    How to tune WIFI performance?

    I am using iperf: On host A, iperf -s -B XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX On host B, iperf -c XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -d -t 60 -i 10 where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the local IP of host A. Both machines are local. I record the largest file transfer result from iperf. Host A is wired win8 running lubuntu 13.04...

    How to tune WIFI performance?

    Does anyone have any links to threads or WIKIs on how to tune WIFI performance for the N66U (both 2.4/5)? Trying out a few tests on my LAN, I've noticed that WIFI to LAN (Ethernet) seems to be quite slower than WIFI to WAN. I suspect something might be wrong with my settings. For example...

    From WAN to home lan access

    There is no issue: that's the firewall/router doing its job! If you want a specific home machine to provide a specific service like a webserver, you can use port-forwarding: Advanced Settings/WAN/Virtual Server/Port Forwarding/ and add the appropriate services to the port forwarding list. If...

    Help with OpenVPN on RT-N66U

    Which OpenVPN client are you using? ymmv, but when I used TunnelBlick on OSX, I, too, initially found that it would drop and relog in every 15-20 seconds. In the end, I found that the issue was caused by the client end : under Advanced... While Connected, there are settings to tell the...
