    Cannot open TUN/TAP dev error

    Here is a services-start script I got working. It did not work until I added those longer sleeps. For some reason with a simple 1 second sleep it was testing positive for the mod loading, but then the mod would unload again. Probably something the firmware was doing at the same time. #!/bin/sh...

    Cannot open TUN/TAP dev error

    Short question: what is the best script to run the modprobe tun command to ensure tun devices are setup after reboot? It does not appear to work correctly when included in services-start Long version with background: I am using fastd to setup an IP tunnel to another Asus-Merlin router, but ran...

    Change Priority of somba service

    It looks like the somba service on my AC87U uses a LOT lof router CPU when my clients use it as a backup destination. For a decently powerful router, it is a surprisingly big problem, a single computer running robocopy is enough to increase internet latancy. I would like to lower somba's...

    CM-32 AC2600?

    That is fine, thank you for everything you do! I choose my devices based on what you support :-)

    Killswitch: move to next VPN client in line?

    You actually don't need the two VPNs to use different port numbers. The router (or any device) is able to establish multiple sockets to the same destination port number (otherwise it would be impossible to use more than one webpage at a time). The comment about overlapping addresses is valid...

    CM-32 AC2600?

    Is there any hope for getting Merlin support on routers with built-in cable modems like the CM-32 AC2600? I don't own one, but like the idea of a single device. I would imagine the modem hardware has a dedicated firmware that is control by the ISP, so I would guess flashing the router firmware...

    N66U - Latency Issues on League of Legends

    Have you tried leaving a ping /t running during the game to see if the drops correspond to increased ping time? I like to leave two pings at the same time, one pinging the router (to test WiFI) and then other pinging Google's DNS 8.8.4.4 (to test the internet). It would also be worth testing...

    Chromecast Audio?

    Do you have more than one router? My parents had the same problem. When I looked at their setup, my dad had 2 different routers connected, but all functioning as routers, so he really had 2 different networks, and depending on which one his phone connected it, it may or may not have been able to...

    Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities on Asus routers?

    Considering ASUS routers are single user devices (everything runs as root), I don' think it matters if the router is vulnerable or not. The issue allows non-privileged processes to access privileged memory addresses. If everything is privileged, does it matter?

    Your ISP's DHCP does not function correctly

    I have seen the same thing. My modem takes a very long time to boot, so I assume the problem is that the router starts up before the modem is ready. It appears like uhdcpc does not retry getting an IP address if it fails the first time (not sure why, I verified the -n flag is not set, which...

    Killswitch: move to next VPN client in line?

    If the provider allows it, then yes, it would be possible. If they do not allow simultaneous logins, or if both connections get assigned the same virtual IP address, then no, it would not be possible. This falls in the category of "try it and see." It might be a simple solution, or it might be...

    GRE Tunnel?

    It looks like the vtun package does what I needed it to. Had to add a command to the firewall-start script to allow the server to listen for the connection, but it seems to work now. I had some stability problems which I have not tracked down yet. It seems like the built-in VPN has some strange...

    GRE Tunnel?

    Has anyone found a way to create a gre (or gre-like) tunnel on an Asus-Merlin router? Using the ip tunnel command fails, it looks like that kernel mod is not included. My goal is to enable site-to-site routing, so that every device at every location can communicate with each other. I have...

    Killswitch: move to next VPN client in line?

    Another approach you could take is leaving them both connected all of the time. If you don't care which one is primary then that is all you need to do. If they are both active, the router will do some kind of crude load-balancing between them (not that it matters, they are sharing the same WAN...

    Windows 10 Updates and QOS

    You are totally right, I did not fully read your OP, just skimmed some key words and started typing. I am sorry my reply was not very helpful. After fully reading, it sounds like you have been able to make QoS work about as well as can be expected using a single router implementation. Keep in...
