    IOTop

    Just installed iotop from entware and realized this issue. It would be helpful to have this enabled in the kernel config for those using routers as an all-in-one (including NAS) as mentioned above. Not sure there are any downsides, either.

    Entering data for "SSH Authentication key" kills router..

    Thanks, I was looking for something like this, since I got odd behaviour from copy-pasting my desired authorized_keys into the web interface. To answer your question on services-start, https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/User-scripts indicates its only run on boot/reboot.

    Test for speed/bottleneck in wireless to USB-connected HDD

    Yeah 10MB is just my minimum because its large enough to actually show a reasonable estimate of speed. There's much larger files there. I did try channel 11, no difference in speed. The thing is this would be time-dependent as well, I tend to only have time to check these things at 2-3 am when...

    Test for speed/bottleneck in wireless to USB-connected HDD

    Thanks, that makes a lot of sense, and would explain why the (much less capable) Raspberry Pi gets slightly better performance. Looks like I need to look for a device with a better chip to test if that's the case. Or simply use the LAN cable...

    Test for speed/bottleneck in wireless to USB-connected HDD

    My laptop's built-in wifi is a Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 (n-capable), and I'm backing up an assortment of files. The 2.2MB/s is measured over the largest files (at least 10 MB up to a couple of GB), I'm aware that transferring small files will be slower. I've picked channel 6 (2.4GHz as this wifi...

    Test for speed/bottleneck in wireless to USB-connected HDD

    I'm not sure why you've reached the conclusion I'm bringing up a hardware issue. I'm looking for advise on how to test throughput and speed. For example I just came across iperf, which seems to give me slightly over 30 Mb/s over wireless (presumably without any I/O involved), significantly...

    Test for speed/bottleneck in wireless to USB-connected HDD

    If you're purely on Linux sure, but I'm willing to give up the safety net of extended journaling for the convenience of ext3 which is easier for Windows computers to mount/read directly (in case of having to recover a backup). Beats having to copy all the files out using LAN or wifi.

    Test for speed/bottleneck in wireless to USB-connected HDD

    I'm not reporting an issue, I'm asking for advise in locating a bottleneck. As far as I can tell such advise depends only on the firmware running, and this router is running asuswrt even if its not manufactured by Asus.

    Test for speed/bottleneck in wireless to USB-connected HDD

    That wouldn't solve anything as the Huawei firmware wouldn't even be able to do the role I describe. In any case this firmware works fine on the router (which is basically identical to AC68U hardware wise).

    Test for speed/bottleneck in wireless to USB-connected HDD

    I've got a Huawei WS880 which I've flashed with Asuswrt-Merlin via the Vortex fork. A USB HDD is plugged in with a single ext3 partition, and I've got entware-ng set up, just to install rsync (so far). Running an rsync from my linux seems to top out at 2.2 MB/s, which seems slightly slow to...

    [TUTORIAL] Transfer a backup to a remote location using Rsync through a SSH tunnel be

    Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Most of it was stuff I already knew and ran on my Raspberry Pi 3, but now that I've got a better router I thought to move the NAS load to it to free the Pi 3 for more interesting stuff. Came across your previous thread while searching for solutions to the OOM error...
