Note: Set the "Unsplitted" Wifi Settings first and save the Changes. After the Wifi is working just activate the Smart Connect feature.
Upgrade some Stuff via JFFS Scripts and Configs:
-
Grab an USB Stick (at least USB 3.0) and Format it with Ext4 in Windows via AOMEI Partition Assistant Source
-
Connect it to the USB 3.0 Interface of the Router and Reboot the Router
-
Login to the Router -> Administration -> System and tick Format JFFS partition at next boot -> YES (dont forget to confirm at the bottom)
-
Reboot the Router
-
Connect to the Router via SSH or Terminal/Putty -> ssh LOGINNAME@IPOFTHEROUTER (Login using the Router Credentials = mostly Admin and the Router IP)
-
Install amtm SNBForum Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu or check out amtm step-by-step install guide - L&LD
-
After Installation: type "amtm" and if not everything shows up type "i"
Decide now what u want:
-
At the moment im just using: Entware packages, Disk check script, Swap file (256MB), FreshJR Adaptive QOS
-
This tools work like a charm in blocking Ads and other Stuff too, if u have 1-5 Clients in the Network, everything is fine but i dont recommend it with more Clients. In the moment, im not using Diversion/Skynet.
I can recommend installing FreshJR Adaptive QOS via SSH/Terminal on the Router.
-
Please use my Router Screenshots above to check out the Settings or please use the recommendation from FreshJR and try his QOS traffic priority list.
