    Manually DHCP List and Domain Name Showing Unremovable Items

    Do you use DDNS? That might explain the 'asus.com' thing. Try checking the mac addresses here: https://maclookup.app/ Anyway, I would definitely do a factory reset.

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    You sure like to kill the messenger when you disagree. In this case you (deliberately?) misunderstand what I said: I did not say that the program KNEW the first 7 characters. Just that it reached a step in its iteration where the first 7 characters are lower case letters. In that case it can...

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    I think @Merlin was talking about hashing a password, then it's correct. Your formula is correct when there's no restrictions. With restrictions the N is no longer a constant value. It depends on the position in the string and the characters to the left, For instance, say you're brute forcing...

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    Ah, ENTROPY, new word to learn, sounds good to me. That's what fighting brute force attacks is all about.

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    Yeah right, if you disagree, shoot the messenger. English is not my native language, I won't fight over specific words. May be I do mean permutations, that's not important. Although if I remember my school math, permutations are used when each character is unique in the string. As stated in my...

    How do you know, you're not a 'specific valuable target'?

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    I forgot this is Linux (Linux has never moved to Unicode). Windows has supported Unicode passwords in more that 30 years (Windows NT). About the length: Why does wi-fi allow 63 characters (or 64 hex) if it doesn't matter? Why does encryption use such huge key lengths? And browsers today does...

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    Restrictions make some combinations illegal = fewer legal combinations! That's gold for professional hackers. They should instead make more possible combinations by using unicode passwords and allow more than 32 characters. At the end of the day it should always be up to the user, Asus doesn't...

    BE92U firmware question

    If you shift between Merlin and stock (and back again?) then it is recommended to factory reset every time you shift. Why not stay on Merlin? Mine is running fine.

    Throughput/bandwidth of asuswrt-merlin supported routers

    You're absolutely right, I meant HIS router has a 1GBit connection which should fit his new connection. (My own routers do have 10 GBit) If he's going to buy a new router I will definitely recommend at least 2.5Gbit.

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    The point of my post is: The claim to strengen security, but they are actually making it easier to brute force attack! That's what makes it ridiculous.

    Throughput/bandwidth of asuswrt-merlin supported routers

    All routers made the last 10-15 years have a 1Gbit wired connection, this means about 900MBit/s throughput WIRED! Wireless is another matter, your current router won't be able to fill your new internet connection. But, as others have said, try it, you can always upgrade your router (and your...

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    Just upgraded my Zenwifi BT10 and was met by the new Asus password security policy (again), which I call ridiculous. Why? Password security (against brute force attacks) is very simple logic: It's all about the number of possible combinations! And that's exactly where this policy fails. When...

    BE98 PRO What's Next?

    There's a new RT-One billion coming, I have spied on Asus, here's a picture of the new antenna they use on that model: The bad news are you need a nuclear power plant to power it and as you can see it gets glowingly hot
