    Failed wifi connections still logged as successful?

    Ah, looks like WPA2 associates first and then does its handshakes, ect. afterwards, so that's probably normal. Still a little odd it doesn't say anything about the connection failing though.

    Failed wifi connections still logged as successful?

    Is it normal for failed wifi connection attempts using the wrong key to be logged as successful anyway, just with a "station is leaving" deauth afterwards? This is on an RT-AC66U B1 running 3.0.0.4.386_51668. Failed connection with incorrect wifi key: Jan 19 12:07:56 syslog...

    Release ASUS RT-AC66U B1 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.51665

    Updated this morning and everything seemed fine at the time, but I just came home this afternoon to find the router's web UI and SSH not responding. The PPPOE WAN connection was still functioning and the router responded to pings, so it wasn't completely frozen. Power cycled the router and it's...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.10 beta is now available for AC models

    Not sure if it had anything to do specifically with 386.10 or just a "regular" TM/Asus glitch, but wred crashed this afternoon on my RT-AC66U B1 running 386.10_beta1, dirty flashed from 386.9. Mar 8 16:56:19 kernel: wred/1111: potentially unexpected fatal signal 11. Mar 8 16:56:19 kernel...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.9 is now available for AC models

    The Adaptive QOS -> Internet Speed page has been a bit problematic on 386.9 on my RT-AC66U B1. Sometimes it'll seem to finish the upload and download tests but then just sit for a while saying "Testing" before popping up a error saying "NOTICE Failed to complete the Internet speed test. Please...

    Not hanging up PPPoE connection when rebooting for firmware updates

    ISP is Nex-Tech, it's FTTH, and yes, there are PADO timeouts in the log, I think it takes about 5 minutes for their end to close the previous connection if it's not properly terminated and allow a new one. You can avoid the wait by manually disconnecting before running the firmware update, but...

    Not hanging up PPPoE connection when rebooting for firmware updates

    A bit of a minor thing, but when updating the firmware on my RT-AC66U B1 the router doesn't hang up the PPPoE connection before rebooting, causing a delay of a minute or so after the router is back up before the ISP side will let it reconnect. When performing a regular reboot it does hang up...

    Request for ASUS Merlin firmware update for RT-AX55 router

    Merlin runs perfectly fine with 256 megs on AC68 variants, is there some reason why that's suddenly an issue on an AX router? I'd be more suspicious about the AX55 just because Asus themselves haven't updated the firmware for quite a while now: 2021-11-03 was the last official update.

    Radon tester and asus ax3000 question

    Not likely, but unfortunately not impossible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_scrap_metal Although, most of those contaminants wouldn't give off radon, "just" gamma rays. I'd think RF interference would be the most likely cause though.

    Wireless > Site Survey not detecting any 5Ghz signal after upgrading to 386.5_2 version

    Maybe this issue: Thread 'Wireless MAC filter shuts down site survey (386.2_2)' https://www.snbforums.com/threads/wireless-mac-filter-shuts-down-site-survey-386-2_2.72319/ On my RT-AC66U B1 with 386.5_2 the Wifi scan works fine on both 5 and 2.4.

    AC at 2.4 GHz?

    N normally uses up to 64-QAM, 256-QAM just uses smaller differences in phase and amplitude, meaning it's more sensitive to interference but can squeeze a bit more data into the same bandwidth.

    AC at 2.4 GHz?

    Ah, I think I figured it out: TurboQAM was enabled on the 2.4 GHz Wireless - Professional settings on the router, so apparently the phone can use that on 2.4 GHz while my tablet, a Galaxy Tab A, SM-T510, doesn't.

    AC at 2.4 GHz?

    Not sure if this is a bug in the wifi drivers (which I know are a closed box) or maybe just an UI glitch, but my phone, a Moto G Pure, gets reported by the router as connecting at AC rates on 2.4 GHz. Router is an RT-AC66U B1 running Merlin 386.5_2. SSID: "xx_2.4GHz" noise: -89 dBm Channel...
