Update: looks like it cannot start one radio interface during the boot. It should have 3 interfaces - eth1, eth2, eth3, but have only 2 of them: 2.4G and 5G-2. So, is it the hardware problem for sure? Or can it be still the software problem (e.g. CFE misconfiguration)?

Finally I was able to flash firmware with tftp. Thank you. But now I'm stuck with WiFi configuration. I'd like to configure 5G-1 for 36 channel and 5G-2 for 100+ channel. However the firmware only allows me to select channels 149-165 for both radios - 5G-1 and 5G-2. This really means that I can...

Hi, I bought AC5300 in the middle of 2016 from US Amazon and setup Merlin firmware on it. In December I updated to the very recent Merlin firmware (most probably - to 380.63 or 64, possibly 64beta, I don't remember it well) and soon after that I noticed that something strange happens with the...

RMerlin, I'd try to create a kernel module that exports few functions from rtl8365mb module via ioctls. Which git branch should I use? I tried to compile master and got compile errors. Then I tried 380.57 branch, but also got compile errors. What I'm doing wrong here...

Ok, thank you again. Here is is the sources of the switch driver. It is not the latest version, but it let's understand what's inside. And here is the datasheet with registers description for the very similar switch chip. The driver provides access to the registers via ioctls. Also it...

Thank you for the answer. One more question: what is the fwd1 network interface for?

swconfig is absent in Merlin's firware. I cannot find it in entware either. Do you know where can I download the binary?

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/blob/master/release/src/router/rc/sysdeps/init-qca.c#L220 I'm not very familiar with the current firmware files structure. Does this code setup 8365 switch?

Hi, Is it possible to configure VLANs on RTL8365 switch (LAN5-8)? Should I use rtkswitch utility for it?

Partial luck. I setup tunnels in "router" mode without much problems. I setup avahi reflector for mDNS, and that was easy part /jffs/configs/avahi-daemon.conf.add [reflector] enable-reflector=yes Now I'm route multicast traffic (including dlna/upnp) through the tunnels and that's the real...

I'm getting 5GHz disabled sometimes. 1. At tools->sysinfo: 2.4 GHz: 43°C - 5 GHz: disabled - CPU: 78°C and empty space in "Quantenna Firmware" field. 2. At wireless log: Wireless 5 GHz is disabled. On rebooting it sometimes get work again, but sometimes remains in "disabled" state. I tried...

Hi, I'd like to connect 4 home networks (mine and relatives). All networks have asus routers with merlin FW. Every network connected to the different ISP. First home has network 10.10.1.0/24, second - 10.10.2.0/24 and so on. I'd like to them all together with VPN and have SMB and DNLA...

Ok, I'm tring to configure openvpn client on the router with TLS authorizaton. However the openvpn is not starting, and I got an error in log: Sep 23 22:49:21 rc_service: httpd 480:notify_rc start_vpnclient1 Sep 23 22:49:21 kernel: tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6 Sep 23 22:49:21...

Well, the full story: I need to pass all traffic from one local TCP client behind the ASUS router to the external Linux Server, do SNAT on the server side and release the traffic pretending it is originated from the server. So, I planed to create a tunnel between asus router and linux server...

I need to create a simplest ip tunnel between Asus rt-68 and linux server. The traffic is already encrypted, so I'm not interested in (double) encryption, but I'm very interested in speed. At first I planned to use gre or ipip tunnels, but realized that the kernel modules for that tunnels are...
