    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    I noticed, that is why I asked. It would be a bummer to update and not being able to login..

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.55 is now available

    I noticed that the new beta 7177 for AC87U has a fix for login if the router has a 10.x.x.x address. Can anyone confirm that it's possible to login to 378.55_0 if you are on a 10.x.x.x network?

    [RT-AC66U, RT-AC87U] Roaming assistant RSSI span

    It could be worth trying. The GUI will set it to -70 using javascript validation rules, so you would have to re-apply this change everytime you change a field in the Advanced_WAdvanced_Content.asp page in the web GUI. I'll set it to -65 and see if I notice any difference. #nvram get...

    [RT-AC66U, RT-AC87U] Roaming assistant RSSI span

    The problem is that low signal strength equals low link speed. I have 250/100 MBit line and it's no problem maxing it if the signal strength is OK, but lower than -70dB I have actually had the client not being able to access Internet at all, even though it shows two bars or so. That with the...

    [RT-AC66U, RT-AC87U] Roaming assistant RSSI span

    It's working OK I guess, but I still have the problem that clients sometimes stick to one AP with a weak signal instead of moving to the other one, meaning that ASUS doesn't seem to actually kick out clients. I use one ssid for 2.4 and another for 5 and my Macbooks and Nexus devices only use 5...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.52 is available

    I experience that the httpd (i.e the whole web UI) doesn't start reliably on boot when RT-AC87U is in AP mode. Very frustrating - meaning that you are effectively locked out of the router after setting it to AP-mode. Current workaround is to make sure that ssh access is checked after factory...

    Strange. now I rebooted using ssh and now the httpd came up after boot. Boot log here: http://pastebin.com/eSthbFgJ smbd still fails

    [RT-AC87u] locked out of router after setting to AP

    Thanks! Now I have web GUI again. I guess something has changed in the interfaces coming up or taking longer time since ssh starts but not httpd. This makes AP mode quite unusable unfortunately. Could this be related to my other problems with smb not starting at boot? Are there any syslogs...

    [RT-AC87u] locked out of router after setting to AP

    httpd is not running and netstat -an shows no port 80 or 8080 being used. I always have had problems with smbd not starting on boot showing some logs under /var/log.smbd. So I suspect that httpd failed to start. I really would need the proper flags for starting httpd, as If I just type httpd...

    [RT-AC87u] locked out of router after setting to AP

    Updated to latest merlin 378.52_2 factory reset set up as an AP and now it won't let me connect over SSH or web on the external address. Do I need to set up something before converting to AP? OK, so I realize that ssh is not enabled by default, but earlier the web interface would start up...

    Thanks for the new release! Samba still refuses to start att boot time on my AC87U: Feb 7 12:01:27 RT-AC87U: start httpd Feb 7 12:01:27 crond[600]: crond: crond (busybox 1.20.2) started, log level 8 Feb 7 12:01:27 kernel: gro enabled with interval 2 Feb 7 12:01:28 disk monitor: be...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 Beta 2 is out

    OK, just curious as to why it works on AC66 and not AC87. Feels like there might be a simple solution if the startup of samba could be delayed a little bit. But I understand if you don't want to waste time on unsupported configurations. I can always learn how to make a custom boot script and...

    Resetting Asus RT-AC66U

    Connect a computer in a LAN socket on The AC66 and go to The default page (192.168.1.1 I believe)

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 Beta 2 is out

    Is there a difference in the start order when it is in AP mode? Mine runs as AP, but so does my AC66 where it works.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 Beta 2 is out

    Regarding nmbd and smbd failing to start on my AC87U, I looked at the running processes on my AC66U and tried to start them manually: /usr/sbin/smbd -D -s /etc/smb.conf nmbd -D -s /etc/smb.conf And now the services start OK. Some kind of race condition during boot perhaps?
