    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    I did that for the AiProtect feature - no change. However, there was another "withdraw" button that had Traffic Analyzer in it - i do use that to monitor stuff on my network - so I left that in place. (To your point, I may have had to withdraw from both). In any case, I just did Merlins...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

    I tried Merlins "tmpdcd" fix - it appears to be working for me. For whatever reason, turning off AiProtect did NOT have any impact. I am not sure what the dcd process actually does (anyone know?), so unclear what the "real" impact is - however putting it to sleep seems to have allowed my...

    RT-AC88U having high CPU usage from ASD - also dnsmasq-dhcp[410]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device

    UPDATE - after a "crash" yesterday (4 hours in), the router has been stable for the past 20 hours or so. The problem is that the asd.log is showing that "update failed" so I am not sure if ASD is running correctly. When I opened a ticket with Asus, the indicated that I should factory reset the...

    RT-AC88U having high CPU usage from ASD - also dnsmasq-dhcp[410]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device

    UPDATE - after performing those steps, I made it almost 4 hours with no issues, but then the main router froze and i had to hard reset. In the interrim, I was able to reach ASUS support and their recommendation was to wipe and rebuild the main router - NOTE, they said MANUAL rebuild and...

    RT-AC88U having high CPU usage from ASD - also dnsmasq-dhcp[410]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device

    UPDATE - so far, here is what I did with postive results for that last hour or so: 1.) From command line : simply do: rm /jffs/asd/chknvram20230516 and then type exit to close then reboot 2.) after reboot free && sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && free and finally 3.) kill -SIGSTOP...

    RT-AC88U having high CPU usage from ASD - also dnsmasq-dhcp[410]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device

    Thanks for this information Bennor - i looked around a little bit last night, but it got to be pretty late, so I posted here before going to bed hoping that someone else was also see issues. Based on your reply, I gather that it was a bad update to the Asus service - to your point, there are...

    RT-AC88U having high CPU usage from ASD - also dnsmasq-dhcp[410]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device

    THanks for the update, seems like there are others out there having similar issues. Lastly- when I go to the Asus support website for RT-AC88U, the most recent firmware is 3.0.0.4.386_48260 - wondering how I might be "behind" if there are no more updates beyond that - or am I looking in the...

    RT-AC88U having high CPU usage from ASD - also dnsmasq-dhcp[410]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device

    Hello, My configuration is 3x RT-AC88U routers in an AiMesh configuration. This setup has been pretty solid for a couple years until this morning. Not sure what has occurred, but at 5:20am US Central this morning, my main router was throwing this error non stop: ... dnsmasq-dhcp[410]: failed...

    How often do you reboot rt-ac88u?

    @L&LD - I looked at this thread (and many others) with respect to ports 5-8. Already ran into this problem on 1 of my 3 nodes pretty regularly - it was fixed via replacement. There is a real possibility that it's the onboard switch OR the power supply (from other threads). It just struck me...

    How often do you reboot rt-ac88u?

    @eightiescalling - not a stupid question whatsoever. I am trying to avoid downtime where possible as we use the WIFI for Occasional Babycam monitoring. IE - there is an app on my iPad that allows me to monitor my kids. THat being said, when the internt goes offline - bad things happen with...

    How often do you reboot rt-ac88u?

    I guess I shoudl've been more clear. I am NOT running merlin (yet). Is anyone else making it beyond 40 days before having to reboot the main router in an AiMesh setup? @ColinTaylor - I think I may end up going your route and installing Merlin to accomodate my issue - is crontab persistent...

    How often do you reboot rt-ac88u?

    Seems that I cannot make it beyond 40 days without having to restart my router. Everything works great - but then it completely locks up - and I have to unplug/re-plug in the main router for the system to work. Anyone else have this issue? I know there is a reboot scheduler, but it only...

    Fatal errors in syslog for RT-AC88U - help please.

    I agree with you - but is ASUS aware this is a firmware problem? IE - are they working on a fix (or any ETA for it)? Asking since I have asked in many variations to their team -but ASUS seems adamant this is a hardware problem. If, in fact, it is a hardware problem, there is no reason for me...

    Fatal errors in syslog for RT-AC88U - help please.

    I have 2x RT-AC88U setup with AiMesh - and things seem to be working OK, but I see these types of errors maybe twice a day and cannot find the root cause: ##################################### Aug 6 05:07:05 kernel: watchdog/517: potentially unexpected fatal signal 11. Aug 6 05:07:06 kernel...
