    AC86U: unable to VPN, can't access GUI, how can I fix this via command line?

    Thanks, exactly what kind of usernames/passwords could these be, other than OpenVPN? Wireless I guess...

    AC86U: unable to VPN, can't access GUI, how can I fix this via command line?

    Thanks for your help, everyone. I was able to fully reset my OpenVPN settings thanks to RMerlin and Draco's excellent advice in this thread. Changed my login/password and implemented the security tips on ASUS' page. I am now able to OpenVPN in again, thank $DEITY. Will keep an eye on any...

    AC86U: unable to VPN, can't access GUI, how can I fix this via command line?

    So... I managed to installed a Ubuntu VM on my NAS and now have browser GUI access to my router :p I should be able to do most of the cleanup this way... can't do a full factory reset since I'm worried it'll kill the NAS's internet connection, which is the only lifeline I have right now. I did...

    AC86U: unable to VPN, can't access GUI, how can I fix this via command line?

    Here is my /etc/profile: export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/$USER:/mmc/sbin:/mmc/bin:/mmc/u sr/sbin:/mmc/usr/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/sbin:/opt/usr/bin" export PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' export...

    AC86U: unable to VPN, can't access GUI, how can I fix this via command line?

    I couldn't find any message like that, not in any of the syslogs either. The closest info was in webs_update.log: [FWUPDATE][firmware_check_update_main:(361)]---- current version : RT-AC86U 3004 384 82072---- also: [FWUPDATE][firmware_check_update_main:(438)]---- download real release note...

    For us mere mortals, can you say what exactly about that line makes you think malware? Thanks RMerlin.

    AC86U: unable to VPN, can't access GUI, how can I fix this via command line?

    I am not sure. Pretty up to date. Is there a way I can check this from the command line? /jffs/etc/profile is empty - actually so is all of /jffs/etc, but I'll have another read through the thread that you linked. Is that the "Enable Web Access From WAN" setting? That was definitely...

    AC86U: unable to VPN, can't access GUI, how can I fix this via command line?

    For some reason I've been unable to VPN into my AC86U since a week or two ago... it sits in my second home, so I have no physical access to it right now. Attempts to connect just time out. At first I thought my internet must be down, but I was able to connect to my Synology NAS using...

    RT-AC86U: unable to connect to 5 GHz

    Cool, I never heard of WrtSettings, I will use it to compare the two CFG files and see where they differ! Are you talking about the actual source code (at least the GPL version of it)? I'm assuming it's on github. If you happen to know where the relevant code is, I'd love to have a browse...

    RT-AC86U: unable to connect to 5 GHz

    This is a a good point, but where is it written that the .CFG file is a direct dump of the entire NVRAM? (FWIW I'm using stock firmware at the moment, not Merlin's). Agreed, although so far everything seems to be going well - and I don't fancy entering all my DHCP and port forwarding settings...

    RT-AC86U: unable to connect to 5 GHz

    Is there actually any evidence for this? I fail to see why using .CFG files from an identical model (identical firmware revision too) would cause vague "problems at a later date". I just checked and my router's MAC address (as seen by my PC) is the same that's printed on the label on the back...

    RT-AC86U: unable to connect to 5 GHz

    Just to bring some closure to this thread: replacement model let my Mac connect just fine on 5 GHz. Even loaded previous settings, Smart Connect still worked as I expected it to. So I'm assuming it was a hardware issue!?

    Yes, I tried a couple in the 40s...

    RT-AC86U: unable to connect to 5 GHz

    Thanks. I just tried that, but I can't connect to the 5G guest network either. :( 2.4 GHz works fine! So I really am led to believe it is a hardware issue. I've requested an RMA with Asus, hoping that my replacement model will work as expected...
