    Sparrows Suricata - IDS on AsusWRT Merlin

    Just a friendly heads‑up from someone who’s spent a lot of time with Suricata. Running Suricata directly on an Asus router might look like a clever way to add IDS/IPS, but it’s really not a great idea from a security or stability standpoint. These routers simply aren’t designed to run a full...

    New Script: TurboAsusSec (Beta)--Foray into the world of AI development

    Thank you for the scipt. Installing it was a breeze, but the script only runs if I call it with /bin/sh /jffs/addons/tcds/scripts/tcds.sh. The symlink exists and permissions are fine, but tcds alone gives: tcds -sh: tcds: not found Looks like the shebang or alias isn’t being respected by...

    ASUS AC86U replacement , 2.5 Gb lan .

    I appreciate your concerns, but the RT-BE92U should be good enough for what they are doing. I finished installing it yesterday and everything went well. They have no public facing WiFi and won't need remote access, so SMB features aren’t required in this case. The router is running the latest...

    ASUS AC86U replacement , 2.5 Gb lan .

    I’m about to set up a new RT‑BE92U for a small business. My plan is to run CakeQoS and avoid any of the AiProtection features that rely on the bwdpi engine. The WAN connection there is only 350 Mbps, but I’ll have 2.5 GbE available for backup and database server access.

    ASUS AC86U replacement , 2.5 Gb lan .

    How about the RT-BE92U. It was down to US$ 176.00 on black Friday. It comes with the latest WiFi and four 2.5GbE and one 10GbE ports.

    [ 3004_388.11 alpha Build(s) ] available build(s)

    Loaded the alpha onto my AX88U and it seems everything is working as expected. Traffic monitor looks fantastic. Saving stats to JFFS or USB disk is working well.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.6 is now available

    Before flashing I always run this command: sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches to clear the caches. I’ve been doing this for a couple of years now before flashing a new firmware. In the past, when performing dirty flashes, I occasionally ran into issues. After I started clearing the caches...

    [Announcement] Removal of AiCloud from Asuswrt-Merlin

    Does anyone here actually use AICloud in their Merlin setup? I haven’t seen much discussion about it. I’m also in favour of removing it from the firmware to simplify things and for security reasons.

    Asuswrt-Merlin donation thread

    Thank you for all the work you put into Asuswrt-Merlin. Running two routers on your firmware has been a big benefit, and I wanted to show my appreciation with today's donation. Happy Thanksgiving, Stefan

    Skynet Skynet v8 - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I did a quick check to see if the router reports any active VPN server, but that is not the case. nvram get vpn_server1_state = 0 nvram get vpn_server2_state = 0

    Skynet Skynet v8 - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I don't have any VPN server active on that router. I think line #12 is looking for WireGuard VPN. Here is what I tried next: iptables -S FORWARD | grep Skynet-IOT didn't return any result Next, I manually add the missing iptables: iptables -I FORWARD -i br+ -o tun2+ -m set --match-set...

    Skynet Skynet v8 - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I updated to 8.06 and tried the IoT feature on my RT-BE96U again by blocking just one address 192.168.1.94. Immediately after saving the blocking file I get: IPTables Rules | [Failed] When I try to get back into the [11] Settings / [12] IOT Blocking I get: Skynet Not Running - Exiting And...

    Skynet Skynet v8 - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    It happens every time I enter an ip address into the IoT blocking list. Router Model; RT-BE96U Skynet Version; v8.0.4 (17/11/2025) (96cf724ff10212dc5631cb34cea25af7) iptables v1.4.15 - (eth1 @ 192.168.1.1) ipset v7.6, protocol version: 7 IP Address; (xx.xxx.xxx.xx) - (xxxx:xxx:xxxx:xxx::/64)...
