    102.7 Alpha Builds available

    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

    Best SSDs to replace my flash drive used for Merlin addons config/storage

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

    Best SSDs to replace my flash drive used for Merlin addons config/storage

    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...

    Skynet Skynet: [✘] Lock file busy but metadata invalid (pid='')

    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...

    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
