    RT-AC56U - Should I use the latest Merlin 380 or 384?

    kfp, Hadn't really considered John’s fork, and don't know much about it. Easy Limits and jtp10181, Thanks for sharing your personal positive experiences with the 56u. As I have been happy with Merlin's versions so I think I will upgrade to the latest 384.5 version and see how I like it...

    RT-AC56U - Should I use the latest Merlin 380 or 384?

    I have an Asus RT-AC56U currently running Merlin 380.57 so as you can see I don't regularly update! :rolleyes: Has been working very well for the most part, but the router has locked up twice in the last 6 months needing a hard reset. So I thought I should probably update the firmware. My...

    Parental Controls - Is it possible to block a specific website from a specific computer via router?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! For blocking specific websites constantly for the entire network I use OpenDNS and it works great. I should probably be a bit more specific in what I would ideally like to do . I would like to block access to a list of websites based on the day of the week or...

    Parental Controls - Is it possible to block a specific website from a specific computer via router?

    Read it for a while then got numb. TL;DR version: https is tricky to block and as of this thread from 2012 does not look possible with Tomato. I am currently using OpenDNS for on the router for the entire network.... I suppose I could setup a different account just for that one computer...

    Parental Controls - Is it possible to block a specific website from a specific computer via router?

    If I am reading the information on the links below correctly it appears that tomato may be able to do what I am looking for https://learntomato.com/how-to-block-internet-access-with-tomato-router/...

    Parental Controls - Is it possible to block a specific website from a specific computer via router?

    Thanks for the suggestion! But when I looked at firewall controls it would only let me block website for the entire network rather then block for just one computer.

    Parental Controls - Is it possible to block a specific website from a specific computer via router?

    Quick question to see if anyone knows if this is possible. I am looking to block a specific website(s) from a specific computer (ie specific mac address) on the network using a router. I am currently running AsusWrt Merlin firmware on a RT-AC56U router. Parental controls let you block a...

    Can connect to router via SSH in Terminal but not GUI, why and how to fix

    Before I got around to figuring out and setting up a swap file, I needed to shut down the router to replace surge protector (to add another outlet for the hard drive). But when when the router booted back up, entware / rsync / ssh did not work any longer. I am sure there is a way to make it...

    Can connect to router via SSH in Terminal but not GUI, why and how to fix

    Apparently not out of the woods yet. Grsync gives me errors.... rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32) ERROR: out of memory in flist_expand [generator] rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util2.c(106) [generator=3.1.2] Rsync process exit status: 22 Haven't...

    Backup desktop files to hard drive on router, best method?

    Just to give some closure on this thread. I am now using Deja Dup and Grsync. Here is how I got it working: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/can-connect-to-router-via-ssh-in-terminal-but-not-gui-why-and-how-to-fix.34261/#post-277854

    Can connect to router via SSH in Terminal but not GUI, why and how to fix

    Well I thought I would try find a program to use just simple FTP instead of installing Entware, but was unsuccessful (FullSync came the closest to working). So I finally broke down and installed Entware: entware-setup.sh and openssh-sftp-server opkg install openssh-sftp-server but I couldn't...

    Can connect to router via SSH in Terminal but not GUI, why and how to fix

    ColinTaylor and john9527, Thanks for all your assistance. As you are both aware (and now I am also!) rsync doesn't work over FTP. Looks like the next step would be installing Entware. Briefly looking at the wiki it looks straightforward enough, but I want to read a bit more to be come...

    Can connect to router via SSH in Terminal but not GUI, why and how to fix

    Thanks for the suggestion! I have been able to get ftp working (thanks for the suggestion ColinTaylor!) with Deja Dup, but have not gotten a chance to try it with a rsync based backup yet. If ftp doesn't work with rsync you gave me another option to try, which is great!
