    Use DHCP, DNS, and Apps Only with a Merlin Enabled Router

    I really just want to use the AC68U as a better DNS server than the one the new router has. Can you route forwarded DNS queries out a LAN port?

    Use DHCP, DNS, and Apps Only with a Merlin Enabled Router

    Very confused on your answer, I don't think this would work as i want clients to use features like skynet, diversion and using the asus as the local dns server. Sounds like your solution would not let the clients talk to the asus.

    Use DHCP, DNS, and Apps Only with a Merlin Enabled Router

    I was recently gifted a WiFi-6 modem/router combo. Benefits... it's a WiFi-6 router with options to add satellite access points. Drawbacks... everything else... very basic in what it can do. My old router was the AC68U. I want to use the new router for WiFi 6 and a gateway (as its a DOCSIS 3.1)...

    What's the maximum capacity of hard drive that AC68u can run?

    Add my 2 cents... I had a 5TB drive connected to my AC68U. I think it was formatted EXT4 (or it could have been EXT3). Zero issues. Replaced it with a 10TB drive. At first I formatted it EXT4. The AC68U would see it, but never mount it. Reformatted it with EXT3 and all works. The AC68U reports...

    Slow and Unresponisve Transfers Using SMB2

    I will give hggones fw a try. In the meantime I overclocked the RT-AC68U and was able to get an extra 5MB out. At this time the speed issue is a CPU bottleneck and nothing can be done for that. I'm very satisfied with the fix you (FTC) found and hope to see it in the next FW.

    Slow and Unresponisve Transfers Using SMB2

    Did a test going up and down on a gig wired connection... It's better at 24MB/sec but never close to the 40MBs (or 50MBs you experienced). Time to see if there are tweaks I can do to get that speed. What is your drive formatted as? Mine is EXT4.

    Slow and Unresponisve Transfers Using SMB2

    How should my smb.postconfig look? I've tired a few combos but I don't think I have the right code in. Currently it looks like this: !/bin/sh pc_replace "use sendfile = yes" "use sendfile = no" "$CONFIG"

    Slow and Unresponisve Transfers Using SMB2

    I followed the instructions here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ac86u-smb-tweaking.44729/ Nothing helped... same slow speeds. Qing what does your smb.postconf look like?

    Slow and Unresponisve Transfers Using SMB2

    Just noticed that the max CPU and 0 bytes transfer is from the USB drive attached to the RT-AC86U transferring down to a Windows box (wired or wireless). If transferring up to the AC68U it's slow (around 5MBs) but never max CPU or 0 byte transfer.

    Slow and Unresponisve Transfers Using SMB2

    With the FW 384.4 and newer the Changelog reads. "Ideally, people should change it to SMBv2 only". I went back to SMB2 and still the speeds are slow to unresponsive with the 2nd core max out at 100%. There is no way ideally I'm sticking to SMBv2 only. There has got to be an issue with the code...

    Slow and Unresponisve Transfers Using SMB2

    Why does the interface show Enable SMB2 protocol (default: No). Is SMB2 that buggy that is not on by default?

    Slow and Unresponisve Transfers Using SMB2

    Hello RT-AC68U with FW 382.2_beta3. USB3 EXT3 drive connected. When SMB2 is enabled the transfer speeds going from the router to a Windows 10 system is slow. It starts out strong with a 20 to 30 MBs transfer, but quickly drops below 1 MBs. It will get to the point the transfer fails. This is on...
