ASUS RT-N66 Firmware Request

[slotkar]

I have requested (a year ago) from ASUS to add a feature to the RT-N66 router to provide copy and paste for the MAC filter list and IP addresses. As of the last FW update, they have not implemented this significant time saver. I wonder why?

Because Asus can't even make the features they already have work right why would they add more.

Is this in the stock firmware?

Copy/paste works fine with Merlin firmware and Firefox.

Perhaps this is a browser issue.

Some browsers have issues dealing with the Javascript-based key filtering. Try Shift-Insert if Ctrl-V does not work.

@RMerlin - Thanks for the tip... Shift-Insert works. I wonder why ASUS has to be different instead of using the standard Ctrl-V

Shift-Ins isn't something Asus support, it's something your browser support. The problem is Asus filtering invalid keys. Some browsers will refuse Ctrl-V as it treats it like a user-entered key sequence, other browsers will accept it as it considers it to be a system key sequence of some sort.

Just your usual situation where not all browsers handle things the same way.

If Ctrl-V does not work, try a right mouse-click on the data field and select Paste.
I have seen different behaviour here as well, guess as mix of firmware (or application) behaviour and browser response.
