Asus RT-N13U B1 - DD-wrt thread
- Thread starter dinjo
- Start date
Just wanted to post an issue with the latest version of dd-wrt, r23838 and r23720 - both were not allowing me to change the WAN MAC address, and both LAN and WAN mac's were the same. Tried everything, resets, reboots, even cron commands to set the addresses manually, but to no avail. Finally, went back to r22118 and working fine now.
Am planning to enable openVPN, so am looking to upgrade anyways - more so with heartbleed. Tried openVPN last time, was not a sucess.
No thanks - I absolutely hate the LuCi interface plus the fact that WiFi does not get auto enabled. Also, comfortable with DDWRT.

Guys I have a N13 lying unused with me. Was planning to go DD-WRT way with it. Right now I'm using Cisco e900. Tried using n13 as a repeater with e900 but there were a lot of stability issues so from then on n13 has been lying unused.
I'm a complete noob in this area so kindly suggest where to begin with the dd wrt installation & which would be most stable firmware ??

r18777 is what most people who want to use it as a downloader would recommend. I would suggest to stick with r22118 otherwise. If you are are comfortable flashing multiple times, start with the latest firmware.
Ensure you have the ASUS flashing software, ASUS backup files, DD WRT install files, and your internet settings ready. Then proceed.
@dinjo it's been almost 2 years I own the device, since the time I followed this guide and your recommendations things are smooth... no bumps.. nothing at all... am on fw 16804, 2tb Seagate ext3 external hdd.... transmission and the works... the best way to accomplish something is to follow the instructions and the instructor.... the urge to use the "latest" is so tempting that we forget the recommendations.... my humble request to everyone is to follow the guide.... if stuck... refer to it again... and yes if you don't know what you are doing.. please refrain... @dinjo... you are the best... I return to this thread after a long time and still I see it active... you have sold the device but still actively assist.. that's awesome... I know, in the past you have denied a paid support.. that's completely adorable... what else can I say... its simply awesome to know people like you still exist.. keep up the good work...

You are using a FAT32 partition @ sda1 - so it cannot download any file above 4GB. Try using ext2/3 for the same.

Thanks vivek. I changed parition to ext3 and now able to download on this partition.
If you do not disconnect the drive from the router and connect to a TV - why have you formatted with FAT32? Any particular reasons?

Last week transmission stopped downloading data. checked with different torrent but it wont work. Hence tested with Fat32.
Also I had problem with wifi range. I am not able to connect with wifi in another room.
Router is placed in Hall and I am not getting poor signal in next room. Tried changing power, channels but it wont work.

Guys...facing a weird issue from last 6 hours.
My Asus router has DD-WRT for 24*7 since last 10-12 months and things were running smooth (After powercuts - router use to start perfectly and torrents used to get resumed without any issues or manual intervention)
From since the pwer cut today I am getting a weird input/output error (See screenshot.)
no changes have been made and suddenly it has stopped working
Below is the output of mount
and this is my startup script

@ReVo_007[DOUBLEPOST=1398864598][/DOUBLEPOST]Just to update...This happens within 2-3 minutes of resuming download...Initial 2-3 minutes the file downloads and then I get this error (and I lose the downloaded file till then)[DOUBLEPOST=1398866021][/DOUBLEPOST]An update...its only happening for that particular torrent...if I add a new torrent that runs fine

firstly check the partition for errors by running a scan on your system and if that doesnt solve it then can you put a dmesg ? or do one thing .. unmount the /mnt partition and remount it as ext3 manually then check after rebooting the router that it mounts to ext3 or not.. Maybe that bug of FS being changed to read only is occurring.Guys...facing a weird issue from last 6 hours.

- How do i scan my drive (asking as its coming as network drive in my computer and not able to scan it).
- I did a unmount and re-booted - how do I mount as ext3? its mounting as ext2 (uits been ounting as ext 2 since last 10-12 months as well)
