the Archer C2600 is out of stock where I live, how is the Archer C7 and how stable are the OpenWRT/DD-WRT systems on TP-Link products? TP-Link seems to comparatively cheap what corner do they cut in general? Otherwise yeah I probably go with an AC68U

I Just realized that my trusty AC56U is EoL and wont get any more updates. So far I was using wrt merlin on it and liked it very much. I'm looking for something that a) stays supported for a while (I know no one has a crystal ball) b) does not brake the bank (sub 100 USD/Euro) c) has some...

yeah I did all those things Factory reset -> re-flash -> reset again -> closed previous vulnerabilities

Until shortly I was running an ancient firmware because I did not realize the update was not happening, because I did not do the intermediate CFE upgrade. Then I directly patched to 380.65 but without a factory reset. My laziness serves me right...

Oh sorry yes web access via wan was open and I read in the other thread that that was most likely the weakness.

yeah I will it is 8 I miss typed

no I did not use the default password. I used a randomly generated 8 symbol password. One that I thought was secure. anyway changing the password to a new one did in deed put a bandage on. And ssh is no longer exposed to the wan. But there are still attempts. Mar 4 04:46:37 dropbear[29942]...

I did I just noticed the intrusion will see if it helps as a bandage, but I will wipe it first thing in the morning.

I find stuff like this in my log looks to me like i got owned. Am I right in my perception? Mar 3 10:57:59 dropbear[807]: Child connection from 91.135.254.35:42806 Mar 3 10:58:08 dropbear[807]: Password auth succeeded for 'admin' from 91.135.254.35:42806 Mar 3 10:58:16 dropbear[807]: User...

Thanks!

My router is a AC56U and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the correct version RT-AC56U_380.65_0.trx from the mediafire host. Now when I go to the Firmware Upgrade tab on my router an select this file the procedure starts and runs until it hits 100% and tells me it was successful. The browser...

to wrap it up here is what I did. used the nvram save and restore utility: www.snbforums.com/threads/user-nvram-save-restore-utility-r19.19521/ factory reset the device. restored the nvram from the dump. thx for all the help!

I get 573 admin 3420 S httpd -s -p 8443 but if I try to connect I get a "connection was reset" error

thank you! But is there a possibility to do it without a factory reset? I still have access via SSH and I now cleared the firefox cache, so I no longer get the "settings have been update" message.

ok I thought I could boost my wifi over the 100% and probably did something stupid. I connected to the router via ssh and set wl_txpower to 500 and then rebooted via the Web GUI. I still have access to the device via SSH but when i try to connect via the web GUI I get the page that says: Is...
