    kernel: TCP: Possible SYN flooding

    OK, that command worked - I can see 4 different IP addresses associated with the port number 38071 which is flagged with the flooding message. I was unplugging chunks of my network to see what impacted the messages. I have an AC3100 I'm using as an access point (nothing wired into it) and...

    kernel: TCP: Possible SYN flooding

    No BitTorrent or anything like that. I have a large number of 'smart home' devices - lights, plugs, thermostats, etc. The port number in the message does not show up in the Connections page - I refreshed multiple times to see if it would show up but it never did. :( Is there any way to track...

    kernel: TCP: Possible SYN flooding

    This morning I logged onto my AC88U and it took a while to get into it. Once in, both CPUs were pegged at 100% and the System Log was full of these messages: kernel: TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 56293. Sending cookies. I rebooted and it seems to be back to normal however I am still...

    RT-AC88U alternative

    Thanks for that info - I thought the AC88U was a good unit when I bought it! I had rearranged the networking in my basement and had populated most of the gigabit ports on the AC88U so there was a lot of switch traffic that was neither wireless or WAN directed. I've since moved most of that...

    RT-AC88U alternative

    I've had an RT-AC88U for a couple of years - it replace an RT-N66U. Over the past year I have used both of them with the AC88 as the primary router/WAN connection and the N66 as an AP. Recently the AC88 has begun acting up - losing both 2.4 and 5 Ghz wireless (hardwired keeps working). With...

    How Not To Fix a Hot-running ASUS router

    I used this on both an AC87 and an AC88 - makes the top of the case much, much cooler!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MUAD9DA/?tag=snbforums-20

    Bandwidth monitor wrong statistics

    I had the same issues on an RT-AC87R. I tried versions .67, .68 beta and .68, QoS on/off, IPTraffic on/off, factory reset and nothing really seemed to fix the issue. My internet use is nearly all download - the per-IP traffic looked normal with devices showing .5GB to 1GB download. The router...

    Yet another malware block script using ipset (v4 and v6)

    Thank you for the confirmation!!

    Yet another malware block script using ipset (v4 and v6)

    Hope this isn't an ignorant question - I've been using WRTMerlin on a couple of different routers and recently installed the Ad-Blocker solution. Based on name/description I presume ad blocking is different than malware blocking? If this is correct, can both ad blocking and malware blocking be...

    RT-AC87U: get live traffic stats?

    I have been using an RT-AC87U for several months - I was getting plausible receive/transmit stats on both the ASUS firmware and Merlin firmware. I recently switched ISP to a fiber-based provider. There is no modem, it just presents a WAN connection to the router. Due to issues getting it...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    The USB drive formatted Ext2 on my desktop did not want to mount after removing and reinserting on the router. I found commands to format it on the router and then rebooted the router and all was good. I'm noticing a lot of blank space on the pages now!!! :)

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    I am trying to install A-B Solution. When I try to install it tells me I don't have an ext2|ext3|ext4 device available. I formatted the flash drive as ext2 using MiniTool Partition Wizard. The USB drive is visible on the router but shows as UNMOUNTED. I'm not sure how mount the USB device...

    ASUS RT-AC68P and 4G LTE USB modem - need help

    I am in the same situation and trying to figure out if my RT-N66U with WRTMerlin will work with the Verizon U620L. Or if there is another ASUS router that I can get that will work with the U620L.

    Traffic Monitor Problems

    New WRT Merlin user. Recently upgraded my RT-N66U to 380_63_2. Was excited at the Per IP stats and started storing data to a USB flash drive - I did set to create new data files. Traffic Monitor would work fine for a while and then lose all Per IP data and then the aggregate Daily and Last-24...
