[Raiu]

RMerlin, are there any other changes to beta 2?

No it was just correcting a syntax error that caused the IPTables rule not to be applied for the comcast fix.

Noted, thank you.

My client list is not updating with new clients when ipv6 enabled, can anybody else confirm this?

Just one script that Asus had added in 5047 and which I have removed (it wasn't even working anyway, so that means no functionality change).

No other issues noted with IPv6.

Well, not so fast.

I lost my v6 address and this showed up in the log. Clients are unable to make a connection via v6. RT-N66U. Reboot fixes the problem.

No neighbor messages in about 12 hours but there was a spontaneous reboot. 7+ hours uptime at this point. RT-N66W.

 

[jim769]

I doubt it. The only change is the same firewall rule that various other users had been previously using. Be patient - I got similar feedback with Beta 1 too where people sometimes didn't immediately obtain a new IPv6 from Comcast. Sometimes, Comcast seems slow at handing out a new IPv6 after a router reboot/reflash.

Ok i finally last night was able to get a V6 address and so far as of now i can confirm the comcast overflow patch is working.

Is it worth updating to 374.40 or maybe soon 374.41 build from 374.39 build?

Should I stick with my current build until I get some problems?

Can anyone confirm if this build fixes whatever causes the DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK log spam in previous builds?
I get thousands of lines like this every day, all day in the log...

Apr 13 23:40:09 dnsmasq-dhcp[636]: DHCPREQUEST(br0) 192.168.1.101 00:24:1e:45:c0:87 
Apr 13 23:40:09 dnsmasq-dhcp[636]: DHCPACK(br0) 192.168.1.101 00:24:1e:45:c0:87 Wii

Try creating a file "/jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add"
containing the line
dhcp-option=252,"\n"
Note the "s are needed in the line.

This option will stop windows7 machines from doing a dhcp request every second.

This option will stop windows7 machines from doing a dhcp request every second.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. However, by far, it seems like my Wii is the worst offender. After doing some research, people are pointing fingers at the WiiConnect24 feature, so I need to turn that off and see if helps.

I also have an HP wireless printer that seems to reconnect over and over again, causing me to get spammed with system tray balloons on my desktop PC warning me that the "scan to computer" feature would not be available.

exact same problem here, after reboot everything is fine. (RT-N66U)

 

[neil0311]

More v6 stuff in the logs, and while I still had a v6 address, browsing in general was very slow and webpages were timing out. Only a reboot brought things back to normal.

I just uploaded a Beta 2 build. Main change is a fix for the Comcast IPv6 filtering rule that wasn't properly applied. Please give this new build a shot if you are on Comcast with an IPv6, and were previously experiencing table overflows.

Results after ~12 hours (where I would have previously seen the overflow message in the syslog):

I noticed that the only time I'm automatically logged out of the web GUI on 41 Beta 2 is when I have the web interface open in a tab/window for 30 minutes (per Admin/System settings, browser is Chrome).

Any time I close the tab before 30 minutes elapses, I can access the web interface without logging back in.

Has anyone else seen this result? (For my own setup, I'm going to disable this anyway, but I just happened to notice it this today.)

Yes, i can just close the window and come back anytime and it will load right in. It will only auto log you off if you leave that window open.

Thx for pointing this out...

I didn`t notice that it doesnt have GPL available yet.
Fortunately RT-AC68U Source contains this fix aswell.
