password

Just upgraded my Zenwifi BT10 and was met by the new Asus password security policy (again), which I call ridiculous. Why? Password security (against brute force attacks) is very simple logic: It's all about the number of possible combinations! And that's exactly where this policy fails. When...

I had this issue which appears to have ben discussed at least once here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/openvpn-usernames-and-passwords-not-working.73912/ However that was from a while ago and no definitive troubleshooting/root cause was listed. I have some more specific information and I...

Let's assume you like to rotate your WPA2 shared secret (SSID passphrase) once a year. How do you do it without downtime and with minimal fuss? Is it possible to do it without changing SSID? Here's how I do it: Start with existing SSID `wireless-net` Add new virtual SSID `wireless-net-A`...

Hi there, Just bought a 4G router from Asus, the 4G-N16. I want to access this router by Telnet. I enabled the Telnet function, and on networklevel I am able to connect. However, I dont know the login credentials. It is not admin/admin, nor it is not my personal credentials I use for the...

I have an AC88U from 2016. Still a great router. It is currently configured with the latest firmware which is Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.386_48260. I try to change my admin password once or twice a year. But about 12-18 months ago, I hit a snag and it now thinks the existing password I input on...

Lately my guest network password isn't recognized as correct. I tried on several computers, and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. It used to work perfectly, but at some point after an update or reset, it stopped working. I use WPA2-personal AES and a 12 character password. The normal network works fine. I...

Asus and Asuswrt-Merlin have introduced encrypted passwords since 3.0.0.4.384_81790 and 384.17 firmware, which I appreciate, but I messed up a few days ago. I tried backing up all encrypted password hashes in nvram in ssh and re-writing to nvram, but I found that even though nvram didn't change...

Hello, this is the first time I post something on this forum. For some reason, I can login with the password. But when I trying to change the password, it shows the message "the old password was incorrect". The problem occurred in both the stock Asuswrt firmware and Asuswrt-Merlin firmware. I...

I am testing latest merlin firmware. I have 3 routers: 1. RT-AC68U 2. RT-AC86U 3. RT-AX86U All are set as: Operation Mode:Wireless router Firmware Version:386.3_2 Same firmware, same settings. If i set password for wireless (without quoutes): "ThisIsATestP4ssword " With the space at the...

Hi guys, The security aspect is important and many people have more than 12 characters. In my case, I have more than 16 and I have to change the HTML attribute maxlength="16" to a higher value at each connection. It would be interesting to increase the password length to at least 20 characters...

I just flashed the latest Merlin firmware on my Asus RT-AC5300 from the default and now I'm unable to log in. I didn't see any documentation saying the password would change and it seems strange since it's my understanding that no other settings are supposed to change either. I tried the default...

Recently I purchased a used N5200 Pro off of eBay. The item wouldn't pass self-test at the time I purchased it. I reseated the RAM and it passes self-test and completes the boot process without any problem. It does not indicate any alarms or failures on the front panel, but the power...

Hey guys, I need some support to fill my websites database. Its about registering the default settings of a router to help people find their default password, username, IP etc. Have a look at my website called Routersnitch please. If you like it you can share it.

I have an RT-N66u router with a USB stick plugged in as my NAS so I can watch movies with other devices on my network. If I setup a new account and password in the router setting page "USB Application ->Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk" and try to access it via the AiCloud app on my...

Hi, I hope this is the right place to report: I've attempted to connect to a Samba share served by an RT-68U running 380.66_2 from a Windows 10 machine, and found that I can't authenticate to the share if I used a password that contains a dollar sign ($). Replacing it with something...

Hi All, I have just upgraded the firmware for Asus RT-N66U from 378.53 to 380.64_2. Once it has completed I have been forwarded to the new router login page which is now web based. It turns out that after the upgrade it no longer accepts the password I had before nor the default "admin"...
