Thanks for your unrelated answer, but I am not interested in teoretical advantages of new firmware with new security issues. I have multiple networks connected 24/7 for the last 25+ years with 0 problems with my programs monitoring and maintaining them. They are apparently secured well enough...

The Main router is connected via OpenVPN clients to two other routers: One and Five. I can access all the devices on all three networks from my computer seamlessly. When I am outside, and I connect a phone to my Main OpenVPN server, I can access only its own LAN. To access other two LAN-s, I...

It would appear that the chinese s*!$ Lenovo is to blame for me having problems with ssh / scp to the RT-AC66U_B1 fw 380.70. ssh (putty) would simply hang and no log would appear on the router. Same for WinSCP. It would manage to connect ocassionaly after long break, say 20 seconds. Mostly...

ssh does not return proper exit codes. My routers are 380.59 except for the new one which is 380.70. The old fw has even quite unbelivable extra ssh bug! On my network, there is a .2.8 computer and there is no .2.18 one. Meaning: ssh itself fails when .2.18 is the destination. So, I will use...

On scripts and the Interet life: my network changed branding from VIP to A1 days ago. Since then - disaster. Last night: entire routing outise of their network failed. My DNS tests detected that. But, no rebooting I could do could fix this. 2 Days ago, they had power outage in one area her my...

It is great that the inbuilt DDNS service will be improved, but there are many situations where it will likely never be usefull. So, ones who have such funny demands will have to take control by themselves, even with newer and better solution. But, for most users, this will be a significant...

People love theri apps and phones. Did you not notice the dissapearance act of computer monitor sized Web pages and emergence of the phone sized ones :) From what I see, app is mostly useless. It can show what is connected to the network and bar their Inet access. Maybe turn the Guest network...

I peeked: Asus Android app connects to 210.65.113.169:443 and some addresses around it. Taiwan. There is no Asus account defined anywhere in my app. Remote Connection is off in its settings. Without that Taiwan connection allowed, the app will not be able to find a new router. Once allowed and...

Device which has private WAN IP address will not be able to receive incoming VPN and ssh connections (initiated from outside). Its outgoing connections will work perfectly fine. Only something with the "middleman" like TeamViewer will work. You would neeed a port forward on the provider...

Yes, I have Asus RT-AC66U_B1 but with 380.70 and it behaves exactly like that. But, I did not observe difference vetween bands. I normally use only 5 gHz. If I have Web interface open, it seems to decrease sharply my chancec to ssh in. If I sshe before I open Web interface, it works well...

I started from here and with @Steffe help over 2 years ago, and now my ddns script has close to 3000 lines :) and everythign is merged into it. It even works at Raspberrry Pi :) So, I wish to share some ideas. Important: when in DoubleNAT, the only way to be sure of your WAN IP address is to...

As I have handled Internet breaks for years, I may have few usable pointers. - ping is useless, please, just trust me - skip it completely! There is an explanation there any expert can give you, no need to trust me. I tested it with over 10 different solutions for long time in parallel. -...

I prefer to adapt if possible :) 380.70 works very well and has some improvements (NTP server, nano, time, naming VPN clients), I adapted to its quirks and there are several. The worst is: ocassionaly 66U_B1 380.70 refuses to connect ssh for some time. I did try the RT-AC68U_380.59 fw on my...

How about some comparison? I have different models, but they are actually mostly the same. Nothing is overclocked and switches do the heavy lifting, so routers load is very light. Asus RT-AC68U is the hottest one. At the summer, its proc is over 80C. Works normally after 3 years. Asus RT-AC56U...

If it stil matters: I use RPis for years now exclusively for all my TV (DVB-T tuners connected to RPI) and Video needs, I use exclusivelly Logitech Harmony remotes, and I connect with no problems BT keybaord to my RPis (2 and 3). All works perfectly. BT headset too. I use a diode costing...
