Oops .. so they are !! Just shows how often I check my logs !!! :-)

No nothing is attached . There "was" a USB disc attached a while ago , but I had to remove it. Would that be the cause? If so, how do I remove these errors etc?

I have the RT-AC5300 router and have just upgraded to latest firmware. The log has the following errors that I havent seen before: Jan 31 10:12:19 kernel: EXT4-fs error (device sda1): __ext4_get_inode_loc:4908: inode #524290: block 8388640: comm minidlna: unable to read itable block Jan 31...

That didnt help much to be honest. Shows the following : LAN 4 1 1000 Full Duplex B0:93:5B:B4:XX:XX LAN 5 (RTK) NA Unplugged <unknown> LAN 6 (RTK) NA 1000 Mbps <unknown> LAN 7 (RTK) NA Unplugged <unknown> LAN 8 (RTK) NA Unplugged <unknown> Everything else is working OK.

Nope, thats one step i didnt do. It was powered down and restarted a number of time . Do I need to do more ?

And magically they reappear after some time.... this router seems to be full of flakyness. I also lost ethernet ports 5-8 :-(

Set values in the QOS , Manual Settings for Bandwith . Then set it back to Automatic. All the stupid errors disappear like magic.

Aye, all looks good. Hawkwind were so true with "Hurry on Sundown" :-) Cheers guys.

I wanted to add 2 port forwarding rules for QNAP (ports 8083 and 8084) , which i did in ASUS and applied. The QNAP diagnostics shows ones i added a couple of days ago and not the 2 new ones. Therefore the ASUS "apply" did not take effect.

I have a QNAP Server on my local network. I forgot to add some forwarded ports on the RT-AC88U, which I duly added and applied on the router. Guess what, they didnt "apply". Not surprised to be honest. Following is from the QNAP diagnostics, showing previous forwarded ports OK, but not the...

Hi everyone, I am using a VPN provider (PrivateVPN) but am noticing that VPN recovery isnt too good if the tunnel disconnects. What are the best VPNs around (at reasonable cost) that you would recommend? I dont want to block internet access if the tunnel drops (wife would go crazy!!). Nick

I have the same issue, but the port actually operates ok. just plugged in laptop cable and all is good. But, my general level of cofidence on the 88U is dropping. Day 1 of purchase I"lost" the 2.4G Wifi band Day 2 is see this same issue with ports indicating down. Been monitoring Wifi...

I think everything has settled down now. all browsers seem to be working OK at the moment. Nick

Thanks for the fast response. I will remember now that Default means "delete current selected client" . Thanks. I will also check out different browsers andf see if its the same across all. Thanks Nick

OK, new to this router so have a couple of basic questions. 1. How do I get rid of "vpn client" entries? I have ended up with duplicate profiles, so want to tidy up. 2. The Web access to VPN clients can seem to become incredibly slow. Is this a known problem? Nick
