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.
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)...
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...
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.
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.
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"
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?
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.
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...
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...
