Seeing all the reports of issues with the RT‑BE92U lately makes me wonder if there are some bad units floating around. My own BE92U has been rock‑solid on the latest Merlin build, so it doesn’t seem universal.

Just quick feedback installed version 3006.102.7_1 on both, RT-BE96U and RT-BE92U. No issues detected.

Suricata 7 isn’t compatible with the kernel used on Asus routers, including the RT‑AX86U. These routers run a very old Broadcom‑modified Linux 4.1 kernel, which lacks the packet‑capture and networking features Suricata 7 requires. Even if installed through Entware, it won’t function as a real...

Probably best to report your findings in the Diversion thread.

Installed beta2 on RT-BE92U and have zero problems. All the ethernet ports work as expected.

No issues here, running it on beta1 for over 8 days without any issues. But I have only a TrendNet switch connected to the 10Gbps and the cable modem on the 2.5Gbps WAN port.

Short answer: No — there’s no realistic possibility of Merlin ever supporting the BT10. Asuswrt‑Merlin only supports models that use Asus’ standard Broadcom-based firmware. The BT10 runs a completely different platform and firmware stack, so it’s not something Merlin can be ported to. If you...

For Sale: Asus RT‑AX88U (Pristine, Latest Merlin Installed) Condition: Excellent / pristine. Firmware: Updated to the latest 3004.388.11.0 Asuswrt‑Merlin release. Environment: Non‑smoking Usage: Light, never overclocked, never used as AiMesh node. Includes: Original power adapter, antennas, and...

Everything is working well with this alpha update. Just some benign Broadcom VLAN cleanup error after rebooting that I haven't seen before. [ERROR vlan] vlanIoctl ,668: Failed to delete VLAN device wds2.0.1.52

Yes, that enclosure works very well, and it uses the Realtek RTL9210B controller as mentioned above.

For Asus routers, the USB enclosure matters more than raw transfer speed. If you want TRIM support and full compatibility with the router’s Linux OS, choose an enclosure with a Realtek RTL9210B or ASMedia ASM2362 chipset. Avoid older ASMedia bridges like ASM235CM, as they typically do not pass...

It’s very possible your issue is coming from the USB drive that Skynet is using. Skynet relies heavily on that drive for its working files and the swap file, and when the USB stick starts to fail, you’ll often see symptoms like “lock file busy,” “metadata invalid,” or Skynet refusing to start or...

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...

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...

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...
