Also yes, try to put the modem in normal mode (no bridge), disable wifi on the xb7 ; set as DMZ or forward the OpenVPN port to your asus router (you need their horrible helix application to do this). Doing this, your XB7 will handle the 3 days DHCP from the ISP, then your asus will have a by...

I have Videotron too, with the 400/50 plan. What's your version of the XB7 ? I noticed mine does not have the same wording in the channel bonding Mine is : HW Version: 2.0 Vendor: Technicolor BOOT Version: S1TC-3.63.20.104 Core Version...

It stopped doing it, magically, around May 2023, after an automatic upgrade/reboot of my XB7 that happened at 3 or 4AM, I have not touch anything since. Clearly as all my ports were going down, it was the XB7 dropping them, I guess most people use wifi and not ethernet ports, so ISP is not well...

Using Merlin for multiple years here, was on AC68 now on AX86. My GF Samsung phone also always got disconnected. While I was able to go everywhere even remote backyard and still had 5GHz, my GF phone would lose connection on 2.4 in the house. I installed WiFiAnalyzer on her phone, and her phone...

Windows do not use pool.ntp.org, some devices you have no control on use different NTP servers. I had problem with distcc for instance when using multiple PC to compile files, with "time in the future" problem.

My issue seems to be that TPLink is using a non-standard or not-supported protocol on the port 123 to get its date/time, so I bypass the redirect

Yeah the first command tries to remove a rule, if it does not exist in your setup you have this warning, it's normal.

oh god iptables... I played with it 10 years ago and remember it is nightmarish, but I know I needed to dive in it again to fix my problem :) So I checked in firewall.c how the rule is added, then googled a bit to find how to filter a particular MAC address for this rule not to apply, then how...

For a long time now I have this option "Intercept NTP client requests" set to enabled, and all my devices basically are using the router as NTP server. But, one of my new device, a TP-Link tapo C200 webcam, cannot update its date/time if this option is enabled. I have to disabled it for it to...

Interesting, thanks! Anyway on 2.4 I only have smart plugs, so I don't really care... I'll double check my 2.4 "professional settings". Everything else is wired or on 5GHz.

I thought you should only use channel 1, 6 and 11 when using 20MHz wide channel. Imagine a 3 lanes highway. Of course you can drive between 2 lanes, but you f*ck up everything. If you use an in-between channel, like 8, your AP sees other RFs as noise, as well as APs on 6 and 11 will see your RF...

Funny enough, I am using an XB7 too (Videotron) and starting in April I had the exact same problem as you, after months and months of a forgotten setup that was running perfectly fine with 0 downtime (and everything is on a UPS). see...

The problem was ASUS own file chknvram20230516 that got downloaded by ASD and was faulty, whatever your firmware revision or router. Starting from May 18 the right file chknvram20230518 is downloaded and everything reworks by itself :)

I have not reverted nor reseted my RT-AX86U, I just removed the mesh node from it. Then I reseted the RP-AX56 to factory reset, and re-add it from my router. May 16 or 17 it crashed/disconnect after a few minutes, but starting from May 18 it is solid because it took the new file. @Maneck...

Factory reset the RP-AX56 this morning and re-linked it, I connected on it to check the infamous ASD log: It seems the culprit, invalid chknvram20230516 file, is now replaced with chknvram20230518 on my setup and log file does not fill JFFS nor take 100% CPU. I guess ASUS fixed their file...
