You probably have a strong enough signal at that location that the device doesn't NEED the extra hop through the node to make/get/keep the connection. I put nodes in dead spots to serve access from that deadspot where clients drop out on their own. This seems to aid the client device getting...

@brownie112 , as an access point the RP-AC68U shouldn't have any true routing capabilities. With it in your system , as an access point, you will still be relying on the Linksys router for actual control of the packets , including the parental controls...

I only get/got these "spikes" when the time on my computer would update or "catch up" as I was monitoring traffic. The time on my router was always SPOT ON but the time in the computer would "drift" from power line voltage/phase fluctuations. This was with a HP dc5800 SFF. When it quit it...

What are the chances the AP on the Public Network is channel hopping ? Have you checked this regularly ? If you don't own the connection ... you might have to "suffer through" this. Or add another cheap AP for your guest network.

Could it be that your router is renewing it's IP address from your ISP that is causing some of the the disconnects ? especially with your vpn ? In my case the problem stemmed from this and in the Wireless setting tab, the channel was set to "Auto" on 2.4 GHz. Every time the chanel would "hop"...

I'm under the assumption this behaviour is because those devices show up in the arp tables for the RT-N66U. Whether or not those devices are connected to it they are reachable by it on its bridged LAN. Since they aren't connected wirelessly,The other devices usually show up in Network Map >...

The strongest signal might not be the "best" signal. Consider it to be similar to 7th row center stage at a concert versus 1st row far right/left next to the speakers. To much signal could be degrading the "signal quality" at the receiver. And then there are the "nose bleed" seats where the...

Yes, Thank You. I've missed that little tidbit, apparently, more than once over the years. This is much better than multiple entries and still better than 5 or 6 to 30 comma separated values in the minutes field.

I seen it's been a while since he'd been here. I followed up with everything , not only for his benefit on his return, but for anyone else that found this having similar issues. After sorting the file and sending it to less, so I could search the file, it wasn't so bad . Surpisingly, ssh login...

I don't kow if 'cru' works with commas to specify minutes, hours, day, month or week. But it does work with the wild card "*" in each of the time fields. Typing 'cru' in a terminal connected to my router reports back # cru Cron Utility add: cru a <unique id> <"min hour day month week...

@ Wallace_n_Gromit , You are right. A hyphen isn't needed when using cru with the factory firmware. Good catch. I've tried Open WRT but don't recall much from that short exposure, except the jffs part was used as an overlay. And it's been a while since I'ved used Tomato on one. I'd forgotten...

Instead of crontab -e to edit a crontab, they use the smaller cru -a to add to the cron settings. With no USB available and no jffs partition on them, I haven't found a good place on an RT-N12D to store this that will persist after a reboot. There is some space for a jffs filesystem , though...

Are you connecting to the WAN Port or one of the 4 LAN Ports ? If you were connecting to one of the the lan ports and it's not working, I'd replace the RT-N12E's with the RT-N12D version which has wireless bridge mode available as well as the 3 modes you have listed. My 12D's have been very...

There are differences between Tomato on a RT-N12D and factory firmware on a RT-N12E. "Repeater Mode" is not the same between Tomato and the factory firmware. To get this to work , use "Wireless Bridge Mode" on the RT-N12E .

As mentioned, Knowing how the RT-N12 is being used makes a difference. If your RT-N12 is in Router Mode getting it's internet connectivity from another router/gateway and it's not in AP mode you face a "double NAT" problem that some client devices don't like. This asumes the heatpump is...
