    US bans sale of all *new model* non-US made wifi routers

    UK. Happened when they decided to remove the Huawei equipment and replace it with trash. Just this weekend another report on all the back doors in the 'new' gear we got. Civil servants think remote access and firmware upgrades mean that they're dodgy. Other side is now have only very few 5g...

    US bans sale of all *new model* non-US made wifi routers

    They did this with mobile phones and masts/repeaters a few years ago. Our cellphone coverage went to 10% of what it was previously, with the network only able to handle 5 or 6 calls per transmitter. Battery drain on cellphones and inability to make calls, mixed with much poorer security. Dumb...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.7 is now available

    Shows 102.7 still after update... I'll redownload and try again, I'll leave this here just in case. BE88U Edit: So two attempts and both to no avail, not even the 'applying settings', just the please wait and then a reboot.. Then I downloaded the OneDrive version and it worked first time...

    Solved Virgin Broadband Static To Dynamic IP Easy? UPDATE: not easy!

    Switched from domestic to business a year ago, changeover for me was smooth, the IP is fairly sticky and had 8+ months before it changed. Definitely good advice to switch off both devices for a bit before changing, definitely the hub doesn't like different devices on the modem port and needs a...

    Dead insect inside my LED Television

    I had this decades ago (decades before this thread even :p) with a regular analogue monitor, it went on for months and I had to wonder what the heck it was, and no, it wasn't software - it remained (and moved) even when the VGA cable and power were removed. Wish I'd looked into it more, but I...

    Running Asus routers on battery

    Running an AC88U (tomato firmware) and AX88U (Merlin) on battery here for the past couple of years. My office it's basically off-grid with lithium batteries charged via solar. I use a step up buck converter (from AliExpress) to get the 19V - works flawlessly. The BE88U and BE92U appear to use...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.6 is now available

    First of all, big thanks to Merlin for all of his work :) So, running the latest since it came out, here's my findings: WAN takes longer to connect, complains about ISP DHCP. I've been busy debugging other things so not looked at the logs yet. Happens every reboot. --- Clients list, some...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.6 is now available

    BE88U - looks good so far but I'll still seeing lots of 'can't delete as device not a mesh device' (or similar) - is this just a regular log for the 3006 branch or just me? Curious to see if the growing client list bug is present as I think it's related to the cannot delete when static devices...

    Client list showing hundreds of extra clients.

    Little update on this, happens infrequently but seems to happen more when devices switch wireless network. Also noticed it's not just my phone (though this seems to cause more). Doesn't reset on DHCP restart but restarting wireless on the router seems to fix (easier than a full reboot)...

    Client list showing hundreds of extra clients.

    First thing I do is turn off randomisation, I like to know which device is which.

    Bug: Clients count on Network Map

    No, static IP and using device mac. MLO turned off and so far all is good, but I'm not convinced. So far disabling MLO has worked, but time will tell if it happens again as it's been intermittent.

    Bug: Clients count on Network Map

    I've a separate thread on what looks like the same type of issue. Reading this made me realise I'd missed something out in my thread. I'm not using Synology, but I am using MLO, and although my main router is a BE88U, I do have an older AX88U in the mix. Mine seems to be caused by my pixel 9...

    Client list showing hundreds of extra clients.

    Nothing that's new other than the BE88U and the BE92U. Unsure if it's related to MLO as that's something new for me? I do have a Bluetooth to IP proxy on the network that I have only used for a couple of months. Problem returned today, again saying multiple clients connected via my pixel 9...

    Client list showing hundreds of extra clients.

    Bit of a strange one I noticed this morning. At one point 196 clients connected, though I have less than 40. Looking in the client map they appear to come from one device - my phone - a pixel 9, unmodified and all trusted apps that I've used for years. Firing up my old phone with same apps...
