Thanks, will be a bit. Migrating the backup shares from nfs to samba on the zfs/linux boxes. Also testing Xubuntu 18.04.1 as a VM on Win10Pro host but Win10 updates keep raining on the networking layer I'm thinking. Actually had an update notice flash without my approval. Then with pTTY...

Thanks for this, just found this helpful to solve similar issue while bringing up samba shares on my mixed samba/nfs/zfs windows/linux network. Set gateway router as master (RT-AC86u) which I hope is correct. Just a small net, no AD. no WINS. The 86u does local DNS and DHCP. cheers

Well don't I feel silly<G>. Cut over to the new replacement RT-AC86u on Merlin 384.7 and everything is fine! Able to turn on all the AIP modules. Will see if this lasts. People have reported gradual slow downs with TLS handshake latency over time, but previousl slow pages are blazingly fast now...

You know, I can't seem to locate where to load signature file or even how to see version! Well, cutting in the new RT-AC86u will kind of do be a fresh start.

Just tested Xubuntu 16.04 client with both Chrome and FF with same problems. Disabled uBlock did not help. I may not have a cert on the Xubuntu machine, so will have to figure out how to put one on it <G>. On that machine, s.yimg.com which redirected to a yahoo site paused for 20 seconds BUT...

Thank you all for the help! ISP is Comcast so is that likely? These are news feeds from Protopage custom landing page that aggregaes news feeds, weather etc. www.engadget.com is also doing this: "Performing a TLS handshake to www.engadget.com" then get the error page " The connection has timed...

The site link from protopage is https://www.huffingtonpost.com/ as well as any of the other links there. I've found a few other sites that behave same. Pinging Huff post just fine from this Win10pro client. I have two way ips turned off. Unfortunately, is see no errors in AIProtection or logs...

I suspect I have a dns misconfiguration affecting AIProtection | Malicious site blocking. Huffingtonpost.com will not load unless AIProtection is turned off. Trend Micro https://global.sitesafety.trendmicro.com/result.php reports as safe. Should I turn off Ipv6 in the Windows client? is that the...

Thanks for the heads up about the saved config! Replacement 86u is configured, and being burned in outside the network with 384.7 on it. 2.4G lit is nicely lit so clearly a HW issue. Seems like less memory being used, which is odd. Yesterday, realized the AC86u doesn't have Tx Power tuning in...

My apologies if this is a thread Hijack but very similar event wtih new RT-AC86u, see thread. Hope your situation is less dire<G>. Perhaps you should respond there, as this is more likely HW vs FW related? Over a day, temp showed same number as yours, 2.4G panel light went out, the Web GUI lost...

Thank you again for the feedback. My thoughts too. Heat and power instability are the big killers. The UPS isn't a pure sine wave, but I assume that should be OK for these units, and has been for years in the data closet. No recent lightning storms and two whole house surge suppressors on...

Well, factory reset RT-86u and was able to flash back to current Asus firmware (3004.384.32799). Tried Merlin 384.6 first and still had missing Wireless pages in GUI and squirrely. With basic config in the Assus FW, 2.4Ghz radio status light not lit despite being turned on in FW so likely that...

Thank you kindly for your quick reply and time reading my post! Yes, my thoughts. Time to online the spare and work the 86u on its own subnet to try and get the GUI back so I can reflash it. I put this together that the 2.4G radio overheated and damaged nearby components? The unit sits on a...

Hi there. In the last 24 hours, my ~3 week old Asus RT-AC86u has progressively failed since it was streaming music over 2.4G to a distant target for most of a day. That is the only thing that seems to correlate with the change. First symptom was some webs sites threw TLS handshake errors. My...

RT-AC3100 ASUSWRT-Merlin 384.6 firmware as primary router. Specific web sites fail to load with AIProtection turned ON, even with sub-components turned off, but not consistently. Constant seems having the MAIN AIProtection button on. Both an HP ElitebookG1 and ZBookG3 on Win10Pro. A bit of...
