    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    Does anyone else have an issue with the Release Note preview not working? This is the box that pops up when you click an available firmware update. The box displays "Loading release note, please wait…" but then never fills in. I can't say when this broke for me, perhaps on 386_12 (?) but I...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    Updated to 386.12_4 today and is working well. OpenVPN fix looks to be good. Thx for the quick turn-around!

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    Eric, thanks for the quick reply, but I'm pretty sure the source is "friendly fire," i.e. "my" clients. I'm already using alternate ports for the in-bound vpn server traffic; that dramatically cut down on hacking when I implemented that change several years ago. As one of my retirement gigs, I...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    As another data point, I'm hitting this same issue too with 386.12_2. My openvpn server is pretty much useless shortly after reboot. I noticed I'm now seeing an 'undef' client in the connected client list (never saw that before), and although I have other connected clients, I can't access any of...

    NVRAM [Release] NVRAM Save/Restore Utility

    1) The parameter 'log_port' (the compliment to 'log_ipaddr') is missing from 'nvram-merlin.ini'. It should be added to the [System - Basic] section right below 'log_ipaddr.' Once added, that parameter transfers fine. 2) Your POSIX change on line 712 of 'nvram-save.sh' broke the proper...

    NVRAM [Release] NVRAM Save/Restore Utility

    So, my experience ... Using the migrate function of NSRU actually worked quite well, even between FW instances 2 yrs apart. In total I had about a half-dozen issues to be resolved, and found an additional 3 problems in the NSRU tool itself. I will post a separate note with those details so...

    NVRAM [Release] NVRAM Save/Restore Utility

    First things first ... We must be talking past each other on the scripts and the awk commands I'm referring to. The "generated script" in my case is named "nvram-restore-202004271709_RT-AC68U-MIGR.sh" (located in the backup directory of my nsru installation). I had to insert a screenshot as...

    NVRAM [Release] NVRAM Save/Restore Utility

    I believe I ran into a bug in the "generated script to restore user nvram settings" (VERSION=30.3.0). I was attempting to migrate settings between two AC68U's one running 380.70 and the new one on 384.17. The backup ran fine on the older unit, but when trying to restore (nvram-restore.sh) on...

    Is there a list of all the apps that can run on Asuswrt-Merlin?

    I'll throw in my 2 cents on this thread ... most of the "apps" mentioned so far are related to the router's core functionality, that is, routing. That's as it should be. But if you think of this platform as also being an always-on, network connected, small Linux server, then pretty much...

    Entware missing after reboot

    If you followed the guide in the original post, and you're seeing "Could not start Entware" after reboot in your system log, the problem is likely the timeout is too short in the wait loop in /jffs/scripts/services-start. This is an old problem associated with the original Entware installation...

    fsck in pre-mount w/mixed file system types (EXT2 & FAT32)

    Colin, you are right. I retract what I previously suggested about copying fsck.fat to /jffs. It is dynamically linked, so won't run without the Entware lib directory available. Thanks for catching that.

    fsck in pre-mount w/mixed file system types (EXT2 & FAT32)

    Given the RT-AC66U doesn't include a FAT-compatible fsck tool, my other suggestion would be to install the 'dosfstools' package from Entware. "The dosfstools package includes the mkfs.fat and fsck.fat utilities, which respectively make and check MS-DOS FAT filesystems." But if you're still...

    fsck in pre-mount w/mixed file system types (EXT2 & FAT32)

    I'm still confused about this. app_fsck.sh calls 'fatfsck' for FAT filesystems, but that command (fatfsck) doesn't exist on a '66U' router? So you're just SOL if you're using a FAT32-formatted USB stick (the most common formatting you'll ever find on an off-the-shelf USB stick)?

    fsck in pre-mount w/mixed file system types (EXT2 & FAT32)

    OK, well my mistake/ignorance about the various router models supported by AsusWRT-Merlin. I have an RT-AC68U, and just assumed all the *fsck's were included on all models. Sorry about that! Colin, is there some other flavor of fsck included on the 66 that will indeed check a FAT drive? Or...

    fsck in pre-mount w/mixed file system types (EXT2 & FAT32)

    That's certainly a strange one. fatfask comes built-in with the firmware load, so hard to believe it's not there. But that's the first thing to verify. Is it found if you invoke it from the command line (ssh or telnet)? You could also run 'which fatfsck', and that will report if it's found...
