So did anyone end up trying one of these as I'm very interested for if and when the power goes out as a battery power station could run this MUCH longer just powering this via straight DC, instead of having to use the inverter and converting twice (DC -= AC -=> DC)???

Thanks for your reply but unfortunately the node needs to be in that reset state before I can join it, as it currently only looks to join what was the previous mesh network and can’t.

Hi all, I cannot for the life of me reset my remote XT8 v1 node. I was trying to upgrade to the latest Gnuton version (388.4_0-gnuton0_alpha1) and started, like I always do by upgrading the remote node first. That apparently failed as it never came back up properly and it does not even show as a...

I loaded this new beta firmware on my CT8 yesterday and I've had zero issues so far. It's nice to see the new Backhaul options, among other things!

A new firmware version was released yesterday for the Zenwifi CT8, 3.0.0.4.386.22245, and to my surprise was automatically installed last night (I would not have enabled that). The good news is that the Ethernet Backhaul is working again, after the July firmware disaster broke it, and all seems...

The latest firmware version (2020-July) breaks the Ethernet Backhaul and honestly seems to cause other issues for me (stability, etc...). Once I discovered this, I flashed back to the 2020-March firmware and everything is running Much better, including Ethernet Backhaul again!

I've had my Asus ZenWifi CT8 pair for a couple of weeks now and I can't get mine to use a Wired Backhaul either. If I switch it to wired, my secondary node goes off the network and appears to be completely reset (unpingable). This is with the latest firmware as of last week and the one from...

Thanks for the netstat syntax as that ultimately allowed me to figure it out / remember what I had done. 1-2 years ago I setup my OpenVPN server to use port 443, hoping that port would allow it to work from behind other firewalls better. It didn't fix my access to home from behind the school's...

Thanks for the reply, but I've already modified the AiCloud port t0 444 and it didn't help (I haven't tried a reboot). Are there any command line commands that would help show the issue and lead to a potential fix? Thanks again, Stach

I don't think that it's the certificate, I think that the port 443 port forward is either being blocked or intercepted by some process within Merlin.

That sounds like a possible reason, but I would assume that there's a way around this as well?

Thanks for the tip, but I'm positive that traffic is making it from the internet to the webserver on port 80, since if I try just a normal http request, it fails when redirecting to https (ssl error only on port 443). Any other ideas as https works just fine internally?

I am trying to connect to a web server that is running on my LAN, from the internet. I am running the latest Merlin FW and have forwarded ports 80,443 TCP to my local web server IP. While I can connect to the web server just fine from another PC on the LAN, I get SSL sockets errors when trying...

The GUI was unresponsive again today. It looks like there is still a memory leak, at least for the RT-AC86U builds as the httpd process is huge (shown below). ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC86U 384.9-beta1 Sat Jan 26 23:15:15 UTC 2019 admin@RT-AC86U-2A88:/tmp/home/root# ps |grep httpd|grep -v grep 763...

The httpd still freezes up and must be restarted in order to gain access to the GUI on my AC86U. This happened after less than 1 day on the new beta, where the previous versions of the newer code, the GUI would work for a few days (depending upon usage), before becoming unresponsive and need a...
