You are right! Used RAM memory just dropped from 77% to 68% and I did not do anything different .... Tks! :)
You can also disable memory management at the bottom of the other tab under Tools menu. It lets Linux manage the memory totally. This is one of the best settings to disable to increase performance.

Could not find this option .... could you confirm? Tks!
 
What router do you have? On my AC3100 you go to Tools on the left of the webui and select the "Other" tab. Scroll down to the bottom and you should see this.
If you have an AC86U it may be different.

FYI That is one of the options that is missing with 86U, yet still available with 88U.

Gotcha... maybe default on the AC86U is no additional memory management. That would explain the high memory readings that AC86U owners see. They become worried because of its high reading yet it is quite normal. My router gets up to about 80% and then recovers and rises again. Obviously Linux is handling things quite well...;)

As a main router I have a AC 86U. And you are right, it does not have additional memory management. But, RAM usage increases and then get down again. It is quite all right! ;) Tks!

I'm on an ac68u, with the memory management (flush caches) enabled... and while the cached/buffers numbers are relatively consistent, the memory usage (especially the httpd process) simply continues to rise and never goes back down to where it started... I know it will crash and it's because there's a leak somewhere.

If I turn off the memory management, then I'm sure I'd see growing memory use, mostly due to caching for a long time, but eventually that would be overwhelmed by the process size of what's running.

So, yes, linux can DTRT, but there can also be memory leaks which linux itself can't help fix. I think that's what I (and Morac) have been seeing.
 
hi all,

Just stumbled upon this... I have an RT-AC68U fw: 384.5. After installing Download Master and doing a power cycle reboot my System Log will get bloated with the below:

Jul 17 22:56:43 kernel: ERR[qos_start:3363] qos_wan or qos_lan is NULL, plz fix it!!!
Jul 17 22:56:43 kernel: ioctl_iqos_op_switch(1) fail!

And on the QOS Statics window the information will disappear until the Download Master gets disabled or unistalled

Just moved to 384.5. Ran into an issue.

This one client is not showing any data moving and my app is not working. I am running a app on a Roku TV (vpn client side) against the VPN Server.

There is also an UNDEF shwoing up with a 189.xxx.xxx.123 IP showing up. This neither the client router or the server router. No idea , error log says "TLS handshake failed". Not sure two issues are related.

Something in my settings is not working right. I tried to match my settings prior to moving both vpn client router and vpn server router to new 384.5. Both are AC68's.

Anyone mind taking a look at my pics of my VPN client to see what the heck I am missing?? Pulling my hair out. Keep in mind, I am not an expert but I have fun playing with Merlin stuff.
thx!! In meantime I will keep trying everything.

Update, just figured out that UNDEF 189.xxx.xxx.123 IP address. Still haven't figure out why that one Asus VPN Client isn't working.
 
CLIENT AND SERVER SIDE LOGS. NO ERRORS THAT I SEE. ONLY THING I SEE WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS ON CLIENT I SET "Legacy/fallback cipher" AS AES 256 CBC" BUT ON SERVER LOG IT SAYS "Cipher 'AES-128-GCM' initialized with 128 bit key". I would expect that to be AES 256....maybe not though.

Would you consider changing your “Accept DNS configuration” from DISABLE to Exclusive and see if that makes a difference. This would allow you to strictly use your VPN provider’s DNS servers.

I actually tried that. But, so last night I decided to Factory Reset my router AT THE ROUTER (Reset button 5 sec while router running). Previously, after firmware upgrade, I did Factory Reset using the GUI. After the Factory Reset, all of a sudden my client started working!! Good. I am not sure if it was that or going to the DEFAULT Client settings.
DEFAULT Client Settings:
float
keepalive 15 60
remote-cert-tls server
resolv-retry infinite

Previously I had and have always used this in previous firmwares so not sure if I should have or not:
float
keepalive 15 60
remote-cert-tls server
auth-nocache
pull-filter ignore "ifconfig-ipv6" (not sure these 2 entries to use this since I don't use ipv6)
pull-filter ignore "route-ipv6"

Side note: I live in Marin County, CA. "Marin"where you live? thanks for response.
 
I am in Iowa but I have been in Marin county quite a few times when I lived not too far from where you are (in Vacaville[emoji6])

Ah, smart man! You got out!! I take it those tornado's out there spared you. Tornado's out here are called "traffic congestion"...

If you have any thoughts on my settings let me know. thanks, and be safe.
 
Hi all,

the WLAN config seems buggy to me since 384.XX.
I use a RT-AC87U for a long time now and with merlin from the start. Thanks for all the effort providing it.
With 384.5 (after hard reset and factory default) it is not possible for me to make a 5G guestnetwork working.
I've configured "normal WLAN" 2,4G and 5G - no prob. I've configured a 2,4G Guest WLAN - no prob.
I configure a 5G guest WLAN - it is displayed on the configpage and the nvram entries seem to be correct, but none of my devices displays the ssid of the 5G guestnetwork.
It's the same with more than one 5G guest-WLANs configured.


Any ideas?

Asus broke it, I can recreate on stock.
 
Running 384.5 and all has been amazing now for a few weeks. I have one small question tho and im not sure how to go about it. I set up a vpn client thru policy rules and all is great. I then wanted to run a few other items thru a vpn client but on a different address as to not congest a single devices and have the router differ them all ... i do believe all was working great until today i realized all my devices in the house was running off of one of the clients even tho i only had 3 specified.. this is in no way a flaw in the build and an obvious setting error on my part but i figure someone has done something similar to this in here before or hoping so... appreciate all advice and help in this matter thank you .. and also great job merlin .. i wish i would have switched over to your firmware before ... oh btw im running it on an ac88u router.. ipvanish and wanting to run multiple vpn clients instead of all on one.
