    Asus updates its EOL list, adds RT-AC1750, AC1900P, AC88U, AC5300

    Yeah, you're probably right. It was a pipe dream about house on Vancouver Island, seaplane and a cabin in the woods by the creek close enough to Whistler. You mean Benidorm? 😂 Nothing works after Brexit....

    Asus updates its EOL list, adds RT-AC1750, AC1900P, AC88U, AC5300

    I can only wish. The closest to this was a day at Jack Brown's Seaplane base in Florida. Can't wait to come back. Or retire to Vancouver. Now that would be great.

    That's about 10 days worth of "work" :cool:. But you're doing a lot of flying! Wilco. If I didn't, my colleague would slap me. If he didn't, our safety department would slap both of us. If they didn't, the aviation authority defo would slap the lot of them. And potentially the company. But...

    Asus updates its EOL list, adds RT-AC1750, AC1900P, AC88U, AC5300

    One of the most regulated industries on the planet - aviation. And trust me, you don't want aviation without laws, legislation and heavy regulations. You really, absolutely, categorically don't, even if you haven't flown once in your life. In the same way you don't want to live in the world...

    Errrm, is that a moan about the tech, or in general? I can assure you that without legislation/laws (and other sorts of regulations) in my industry, there would be a LOT more dead people. And that I can imagine does apply to quite a lot of industries I interact with more or less closely.

    Kernel versions of latest routers with Merlin's FW

    Thanks very much for answers, keep it coming.

    Kernel versions of latest routers with Merlin's FW

    Just a bit of research. I've recently (again) spent some considerable time trying to make things work, only to realise it's an uphill battle due to implementation directly in kernel, which in case of our beloved routers are very old and very static (some backports notwithstanding). I am also...

    Kernel versions of latest routers with Merlin's FW

    Sorry to be a pain, but doing a bit of a research and upgrade planning and I couldn't find an up to date and concise info about Kernel versions for router models. Could I please kindly ask you to run uname -a on your router and post the output here, with the router type and Merlin's FW version...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    Yeah, you could. After [B word] everything in UK is [US number] in £ + customs + VAT + import fee + a bit. Not great.

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    That's the plan ;) So far it's "down" to £280, hoping for some decent drop. Btw, here's my interim solution (don't laugh, thinking outside the box): - spin up Ubuntu Docker container - install smbd - allow legacy SMB settings (server min protocol = NT1 and ntlm auth = yes) - make BACKUPMON on...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    No you're absolutely right, I completely forgot we're quite limited in space/writes so creating a local tar is not a great option. smbclient has a tarmode, but (surprise surprise) it's not compiled in the entware's version. Thanks for thinking about it anyway, much appreciated. I'll move it up a...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    The experimenting was in terms of trying to still make it work. My use case is regular backups of main on-site router to my NAS, which is using SMB2.1+ only. It is EOL, I know. I don’t want to add more workload for anyone of course, just asking if it could be/is considered. It is a neat script...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    AC86U uses 4.1.27 kernel which supports SMB2, unlike AC88U which uses 2.6.36 and only supports SMB1. The problem is that I don’t want to use SMB1 due to security implications, so the script basically won’t connect to my NAS. Even if I enable SMB1 explicitly, it also needs NTLMv1 authentication...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    Hi @Viktor Jaep - great tool! Especially for us lazy script writers ;) The only problem for me right now is the mount limitation on my AC88U kernel 2.6.36, which only supports SMB1 and NTLMv1. Out of interest - would you consider adding routine that would perform backups using smbclient...

    mount using SMB1 only despite vers=2.1 specified

    You're right of course. Just went through the kernel history and it seems only 3.7 properly introduced SMB2 :( Just before I completely abandon the idea of SMB2+ mount.cifs in our 2.6.36 arm7l kernel on AC88U, is there any future hope of backporting SMB2 support? Anyone attempted that in other...
