Well it's been enough time without the daily spin-ups to confirm that the culprit was indeed Download Master. Either I didn't notice it with the N66U or something is behaving differently. As such I'm going give Transmission a try and follow Merlin's guide. Hopefully it works fine without those...

It's definitely weird. I had Wireshark running by the way and I'm leaning on this being unrelated to the spin-ups that made me start this topic, just a coincidence in timing (it was about 1 minute later, so it was not so exact). I filtered the Wireshark logging to only show SMB protocol...

Thanks, but I've been almost exclusively accessing it through Solid Explorer on Android (configured to use SMBv2). There were no errors when I attempted to access it just now and worked fine. It's just that this message appeared when I wasn't even trying to access anything that is being shared...

Well now I'm more confused... It hasn't spun up with Download Master disabled yet, but instead I got Samba-related error messages in the log around the same time (currently set to SMBv2): Mar 17 23:54:45 smbd[12922]: [2020/03/17 23:54:45.780728, 0] smbd/negprot.c:706(reply_negprot) Mar 17...

Hello, I've been troubleshooting an issue I've only recently noticed since last weekend. Trying to figure it out by myself so far, but the window for returning the router is nearing an end (ends this Friday), so I'm looking to others for help... I've replaced an RT-N66U (which is now working...

So I'm currently troubleshooting my ISP's proprietary router (which I believe is built around a Cisco ME 4600, I found that the CLI commands are similar) due to a problem with the 2.4GHz signal, which stops responding after a few days. After trying everything (different channels, SSIDs etc) I'm...

Did so this week, no good. Asked me for screens of the IPTV tab (which I sent both from RT-N66U and RT-AC86U) and later told me they could escalate the problem to see if it could be fixed in future firmware, but not anymore since I returned. What kind of reasoning is that? Apart from the...

Any idea why RT-AC86U has no IGMP Snooping option? My IPTV channels freeze without it. RT-N66U from 2011 works fine and has this that RT-AC86U hasn't: Is the router itself unable to have "Efficient multicast forwarding" or does this option need to be un-hidden somehow? It looks like I have...

Decided to go ahead and purchase this one to replace the RT-N66U and I've lost the ability to have proper IPTV signal from my STB... freezes every 5 seconds. Culprit is the absence of IGMP Snooping option in IPTV. Latest Merlin fw didn't have it either... Is it hidden somehow somewhere? No way...

I've been using an RT-N66U for 5 years now and since my ISP upgraded to 1000 mbps/200 mbps service I've decided to take a look of what new routers are out there and that'd be best as a gamer who cares the most about stuff like pings/bufferbloat etc. I'd like to continue with Asus for the good...

I have an RT-N66U running latest Merlin firmware and am slated for 1 Gbps/200 mbps service upgrade. How much in terms of benefits should I expect in upgrading to this one? Been using IPTV option for ISP router connecting to LAN4 and direct connection of the Asus to the ONT without any problems...

Hello Deepcuts, indeed you're right, I should've mentioned I used speedtest.net and yes my ISP has provided me with their own speedtest.net server when I called them. I still had it capped. I also do have Kaspersky AV, the simple one without Internet Security, for what it's worth. Perhaps I...

Hello, I've recently upgraded to a 200mbps download/100mbps upload fiber service and the first problem I had was that my download speeds were capped at around 120mbps with old original Asus firmware. I've updated to Merlin's 380.57 firmware (380.58 has a bug in the IPTV section and I cannot...

Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to try that the next time it goes down.

Losing connection on HomePlug: Reboot either Homeplug or Router solves - Whose fault? I have a homeplug (Asus PL-X32) set downstairs next to the main router and a 2nd one set upstairs to connect a PC to the internet. Lately I've been having permanent drops roughly every 1 or 2 days only on the...
