did you mention that you work for ASUS? I now notice your belittling this bombshell in other posts as well.

is there a topic about these?

and on top of that, they have no shame that THEIR system was hacked and used to hack their customers.

Thank you for your reply I am now back on firmware 3004.388.8_4 on RT-AX86U When I download Merlin's 3004.388.9 from GIT and upload it to the router, after it finishes installing and before opening the index page on the router, I get 2 notices. The first 1 scrolled all the way to the bottom and...

I reverted to the earlier version and reloaded my settings. The first notice is about age, what is this all about, years after owning the router? The second one I refused and saw some warning about google and some others; i just went back to the previous firmware as in any case I do not use any...

thank you bennor. i was up to date on my upgrades and have never seen these; only this last upgrade. I am going through the discussions now to have an idea what it is all about.

tried to upgrade but I am being asked a bunch of questions and served a few pages of text to read and something about ID? what the heck is this? ASUS=spyware?

ASUS DDNS turns itself-off with no warning making the router inaccessible. This is happening all the time.

I set up a vpn server and used the configuration file to connect to it, but then I can browse and do other tasks as usual, but I cannot connect to the router's GUI itself. How do you do that?

Ah ok. Thanks.

Speaking of RAM usage, without the USB HDD the RAM usage is around 480MB with it connected it is more like 975MB. Is this normal that the router uses 500MB for the connected drive?

Funny event. I set up a guest login on slot 1-2.4GHz, even though the guest is showing as connected with strong signal, on the phone it is either appearing as being connected to another network on the router or not showing at all. I removed the entry and put exactly the same thing in slot 2, it...

I found that the USB external HDD is using 500MB of RAM. When disconnected the RAM usage drops to below 500MB. Is this something to have a look at?
