    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    I saw an update to the VPNFilter router malware story that seemed to indicate that a number of ASUS routers are now considered to be vulnerable after all. Other than pushing in the reset button for five seconds, and reloading current firmware does anyone know if there is anything else we need...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Perhaps a dumb question but when I was running Merlin's firmware I was able to "name" clients so that I'm not just looking at mac addresses or ip addresses in the client list. I've poked around with John's fork but haven't found a way to do that. Is there a way to do that with John's fork or is...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Was able to connect to 192.168.1.1 and then wait an hour or so and it all eventually loaded. Thx!

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    RT-N66U Running Merlin's 380.7 I'm concerned about not receiving future security patches so I tried flashing with John's latest 32e4 but ran into difficulty trying to get the router into rescue mode. I used the nvram-save-r26.2 utility to do a migration save (-M) to a USB stick, although it...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.58 is now available

    RT-N66U. Downloaded 380.58 from Mediafire from the RT_N66U directory. Attempted to load the firmware and I received the following error "Firmware upgrade unsuccessful. This may result from incorrect image or error transmission. Please check the version of firmware and try again" part way...

    Did I brick it? RT-N66U Dark Knight

    Phew! It has rebooted and is now accessible. I must have just been too impatient before, combined with not correctly setting my laptops configuration to use the manual ip settings. I very much appreciate this community and its helpfulness. Thanks!

    Did I brick it? RT-N66U Dark Knight

    So I uploaded RMerlin's 380.57, got the screen that states "Upload completed. System is going to reboot. Please wait a few moments." The power led light is out, the ethernet port 1 is lighted. I'm going to wait until the power led light comes back on before doing anything else.

    Did I brick it? RT-N66U Dark Knight

    My DNS Server is unset, and the Gateway Setting is unset. Ok...I had 802.1X on a default setting of "Enable automatic connection". When I unchecked, at least I think that was it, I now get the "ASUSTek - CFE miniWeb Server" page. Woot! Woot! Now what, Should I attempt to upload RMerlin...

    Did I brick it? RT-N66U Dark Knight

    Holding down the WPS button didn't seem to change anything unfortunately.

    Did I brick it? RT-N66U Dark Knight

    Thx hggomes for the manual ip suggestion. Got a little further by setting the IP manually. I've set the laptop up to configure the IP manually, with an IP address of 192.168.1.20, Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and router with an address of 192.168.1.1. The laptop thinks it is connected. The...

    Did I brick it? RT-N66U Dark Knight

    Thanks for the suggestion. I connected the router to a laptop with an ethernet cable. The laptop has wi-fi turned off. The laptop can see that the ethernet cable is connected to the RT-N66U, as when I remove the cable the laptop notices. The laptop has a self-assigned ip address. When I...

    Did I brick it? RT-N66U Dark Knight

    I've been running Merlin's 380.57 firmware on my RT-N66U since December with no issues. I've been running his firmware since I got my router and have contributed because I've been so pleased with the firmware. Last night I wanted to tweak some of the parental settings and tried to access...
