So I got OpenWRT with vlan but I still need a switch behind to have my 8 ports.
Anyway, that could be a cheaper option but I won't have MerlinWRT anymore. And I'm used to it and it's convenient amtm scripts/modules.
And in that case, what about just adding a manageable switch to my router and...
Here is the answer:
So if I wanna have vlan support, I have to upgrade to a "pro" version (at least) and buy a managed switch. :(
I see some scripts here and there to enable this feature on current devices. I'll give them a try first.
Thanks everyone for your kind answers and AsusWRT-5.0...
Dammit! I don't want to spend hundreds of bucks to only have a firmware upgrade. :mad:
I don't care about hardware upgrade as that won't make any noticeable differences.
Is an AX Pro version with 8 LAN ports exists btw?
Thanks for your replies anyway.
Do you guys think ASUSWRT 5.0 will be ported back to "old" RT-AX (non-pro) devices ?
I don't plan to change my RT-AX88U atm but really hope to have vlan support.
Hardware won't be enough to support these new features?
I tried this BETA 3 version.
First, I run it with previous configuration and it runs flawlessly. Good job by shoved it!
Second, I couldn't modify my USB flash mount point. I don't know if it's intended or not but once it's correctly defined and there's only one USB drive attached there's no way...
I planned to do it this evening or tomorrow but I will wait a bit.
Is there something to now before update to Beta version? Will it replace the amtm one?
Is there a way to backup and retore Backupmon? 😇
Interesting points of view here.
Maybe grabbing only sdterr into logs.
Or in each part of the backup process, grabbing stderr/stdout in a temp file (in ram) and add it in log file only if there's an error.
My 0.02 cents.
Well @ColinTaylor command line. 😇
If I understand correctly what it did, it "forced wipes" partition blocks with dd and /dev/zero. I guess it's what should have been done with hard reset but didn't.
I won't publish all commands as it may lead to router's bricking if applied incorrectly.
Enjoy!
My bad, I managed to solve this issue while grabbing a screenshot of the encountered error :
It's waaaay more explicit than the log 😅 :

Is there a chance it could also be forgotten in Backupmon (1.7.2)?
I got an issue with my external drive. Here is the log:
