I'm plugging the stick into the USB2.0 port directly. I will try the 3.0 port.try swapping USB cable, on USB 2.0 everything was ok, but on 3.0 I had similar problem and that was the cable
im currently running Merlin's 3.0.0.4.246.20 on my N66u
do i just flash to Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.35 and do a factory reset? and setup from scratch?
or will i need to go back to Asus stock firmware first?
thanks
What are the firewall rules for this config? I'm using tinc instead of openvpn and wish to connect two routers.For site-to-site VPN you should use OpenVPN.
iptables -A forwarding_rule -i pvpn -j ACCEPT
iptables -A forwarding_rule -o pvpn -j ACCEPT
i've also discovered a bug in the PPTP/L2TP Client feature on Firmware 3.0.0.4.374.35_4. When I Add profiles they work for a while. As soon as I reboot the Router or change a major setting the profiles just dissappear. When I try to add the Profiles again, the popup for adding the settings appears but after entering the settings I click on 'ok' but nothing happens. The window remains open and the settings are not saved. The Table does not show "No data in table." but is empty. The only thing that helps to restore the functionality is to completely reset the router.
nvram get vpnc_clientlist
nvram set vpnc_clientlist='name>type>ip>login>password'

Let's hope Merlin will find time to look at this next year ;-)
A new qos-start custom script was also added, for people wanting to manually customize their QoS implementation.
For the N66u did you try Merlin's SDK5 version of the firmware? The standard SDK6 version does cause the N66U to lose signal output it's a known issue. The SDK5 version workers great no signal issues.
Just to back this up, I'm using build 3.0.0.4.374.35_4-sdk5 and the Wi-Fi strength and responsiveness is much better than the SDK6 version.
AIUI, the SDK 6 only caused problems with the 2.4 band (and fixed some issues on 5).
What's the location of the qos-start script? I tried 'find / -name "*qos*"' and 'find / -name "*start*"' and found nothing. QOS is enabled and I have some user defined rules in the gui.
Hi I'm having trouble updating my FW I'm currently on 3.0.0.4.270.26 I tried updating to the newest but it gets to 95 and fails...I tried the one after 270.26 I think its 30 and another newer one and it all fails at around 90-95 what could the problem be? I'm updating using LAN
