    Asus Router app and "unintentional" activation of remote access to router

    I do not know about iOS version - I do not have any iOS devices. I bought my current phone in december and Android version of the app has been updated in december 14th. It can be, that any devices linked before that would not get this treatment, if you do not flip "Remote connection" option ON...

    Asus Router app and "unintentional" activation of remote access to router

    For now there is only one way to avoid this - keep router admin credentials to yourself and get rid of the app. Anybody who - has access to your wireless network - knows router administration credentials - has this neat app on the phone can access the router even after he is left your...

    Asus Router app and "unintentional" activation of remote access to router

    It was discovered "by mistake", but it cannot be described any other way but serious: Asus has introduced DDNS and remote management support into Asus Router mobile app for Android. It might be nice feature to have, but there is one big BUT in this implementation - if router is added/linked to...

    Asus-Merlin RT-N16 - Corrupt Build

    I would start to suspect some hardware issues (RAM or HD) with the computer you are using to download the build, if checksums for "known good" file are coming out wrong all the time. Network issues cannot be ruled out either of course... P.S. I remember clearly downloading this build and...

    SECURITY: LAN-side security hole - mitigation

    Sorry to crash in on this hijacking, but now it seems that port 9999 has the real use purpose - if this port is blocked by firewall rule, real-time statistics (real-time traffic and system monitor) will not work in Asus router mobile app. I am not sure, if mobile app was even available, when...

    378.56, DHCP manual assignments and hostnames

    There has been an option to add manual DHCP assignments in a way, that hostname will not be set by DHCP - by means of including "invalid" hostname into the entry (this entry will then be assigned as description if I recall correctly). I have not been modifying this part of configuration for...

    RT-N66U, 378.51, 5 GHz and OS X - 802.11d available or not?

    wl0: Oct 17 2014 12:47:21 version 6.30.163.2002 (r382208) This is on 378.51. What it was on 378.50 - I am not sure where to look for it right now. Merlin probably knows better :) Maybe there's really some problem, because d+h worked before...

    RT-N66U, 378.51, 5 GHz and OS X - 802.11d available or not?

    Now everything is reset and it seems, that at least GUI is doing its' thing in right way Setting it to "802.11d+h" gives admin@192.168.1.1:/tmp/home/root# nvram show|grep wl_reg_mode size: 43761 bytes (21775 left) wl_reg_mode=h and setting it to "802.11h" gives admin@192.168.1.1:/tmp/home/root#...

    RT-N66U, 378.51, 5 GHz and OS X - 802.11d available or not?

    Of course! This problem is related to Apple devices and (as now observed by little more investigation -> https://www.google.com/search?q=802.11d+OSX) appears to be quite well known - Apple devices are unable to connect or even see networks on high channels of 5 GHz band without 802.11 d+h. I...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Anybody care to tell it to Apple? These kind of do not look same to me... 9.03.15 20:44:22.000 kernel[0]: en1: 802.11d country code set to 'EU'. 9.03.15 20:44:22.000 kernel[0]: en1: Supported channels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 36 40 44 48 9.03.15 19:38:18.000 kernel[0]: en1: 802.11d country...

    RT-N66U, 378.51, 5 GHz and OS X - 802.11d available or not?

    Now some more testing with restarting the computer - result is the same. 10.03.15 20:22:51.000 kernel[0]: en1: 802.11d country code set to 'X3'. 10.03.15 20:22:51.000 kernel[0]: en1: Supported channels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 100 104 108 112 116 120 124 128 132 136...

    RT-N66U, 378.51, 5 GHz and OS X - 802.11d available or not?

    This is N66U and high channels "appeared" with 378.50. Results of channel testing (on different devices) showed, that channels around 100...108 gave much better signal levels that channels on lower end of the band. That was initial reason for this channel selection. Now it looks like going back...

    RT-N66U, 378.51, 5 GHz and OS X - 802.11d available or not?

    Now it seems, that deeming this as a solution might be a bit premature. Connection was up for more than hour - until this "intermittent disconnection" (as known to many Yosemite users). After that it was "country code set to 'EU'" and of course system made itself "blind" again. Disabling and...

    RT-N66U, 378.51, 5 GHz and OS X - 802.11d available or not?

    Well... how about that! I was just writing up the thing about how all worked just a month before, when I was doing channel testing here and only change from that time was Merlin's update to latest version - and regulation mode was not set to "off" back then - "EU" was clearly visible in...

    RT-N66U, 378.51, 5 GHz and OS X - 802.11d available or not?

    This is more or less for you information - I mean, that it just might be of some help for ones struggling with the wifi on their Apple devices... As we know, last months have been a huge problem for many, who are using 10.10 Yosemite - Apple has its' forums full of long threads on the issues...
