    AiMesh multi-band security issue - network can become unsecured!

    I'll bump them back to stock to report as soon as I can get the workaholic and the gamer off the network. Between the two of them and overnight system backups we're up and in use 24x7x365.25 :)

    AiMesh multi-band security issue - network can become unsecured!

    That's a really good point, I certainly didn't report it to them, and it's a weird enough edge case that it's possible nobody has. I still have this hardware in use, if I can kick the family off it long enough I'll bump it back to all stock firmware and make sure the problem occurs on it (99%...

    Shoutout for Medo's WRT Settings Utility - Bailed me out of failure!

    That's definitely the better way to go, but I wasn't prepared with that so it was nice to have a workable alternative. :)

    Shoutout for Medo's WRT Settings Utility - Bailed me out of failure!

    I just wanted to give a shoutout to @medo for his excellent WRT Settings utility - all these years later and it still works great. I'd managed to somehow screw up whitelisting a site that AIProtection blocked (TBC I think this was a "me" screwup, not a problem with Merlin) and wound up with no...

    3004.388.4 Time Scheduling Question

    Hello all, A question about time scheduling with Merlin - I'd like to setup a block for all devices EXCEPT a specific handful; in other words during the blocked time interval I want even unknown MACs to be locked out from internet access, but permit a specific set of MACs to still work normally...

    Is intranet a monitoring/bandwidth/QoS blind spot?

    Just realized another thing to test is how the Traffic Analyzer-Traffic Monitor tab handles AiMesh - my guess would be that traffic for a wireless client connected to an AiMesh node that is using a wired backhaul is going to show up as wired traffic, if at all. @Viktor Jaep how does RTRMON...

    Is intranet a monitoring/bandwidth/QoS blind spot?

    Thanks all - @Justinh is right, I know that internal traffic affects the WAN<>LAN bandwidth (or more specifically in this case, the internal traffic is so high that the WAN bandwidth is kind of irrelevant); and in this case it was easy to diagnose since I was the only one other than her...

    Is intranet a monitoring/bandwidth/QoS blind spot?

    My wife just mentioned that she's had periodic slowdowns today, and as I was starting to dig into it I realized I may have a blind spot on monitoring and bandwidth tuning. As far as I know, the bandwidth monitor and QoS only show & impact WAN traffic (please correct me if I'm wrong). I was...

    Debugging internet connectivity issue with one client

    Nearly two weeks later and everything remains rock solid - considering this thing solved!

    Customization for Traffic Analyzer - Statistic data?

    Thanks, that's good news on the /jffs writing! As to the source, right, I'd forgotten the Traffic Analyzer was part of the Trend Micro setup, I seem to recall hearing that's closed source so probably not a lot to learn about it. I did find with a little grep searching that the database sits in...

    Customization for Traffic Analyzer - Statistic data?

    I've been playing with the "Traffic Analyzer - Statistic" function on my Asuswrt-Merlin install (388.2 beta1 on a GT-AXE11000), and have a couple questions about customizing it: 1) What's the source of info it uses to classify the traffic, and can that be customized at all? For instance, there...

    Debugging internet connectivity issue with one client

    Sorry to be revisiting this thread with more information so late - short answer is I've resolved the problem, but I want to post what I discovered in case it helps someone else. It turns out, it was not just a single device experiencing issues, my wife's laptop was just much more prone to it...

    Debugging internet connectivity issue with one client

    Hello @drinkingbird, thanks for jumping in on this. She can ping the router and other internal devices when the internet doesn't ping (I have her running two command prompts with constant pings to the router and to google - can watch Google pings fail when Zoom, O365, etc. lock up on her, while...

    Debugging internet connectivity issue with one client

    Thanks Morris - her wireless drivers are up-to-date, ipconfig /all shows the same DNS as everyone else (and the connection log bears out that she's using it), and her default route is correct. She's got automatic AV scans running and none have picked anything up yet, but I'll run a deeper scan...

    Debugging internet connectivity issue with one client

    I'm running Asuswrt-merlin 388.1 on a GT-AXE11000 and am trying to debug an intermittent connectivity issue with my wife's Windows 10 laptop. Initially I thought she was losing the wireless connection, or that hunting was taking place between the main router and my AiMesh node, or across...
