I decided to do another build for something to do so I did a "lite" version. Only the minimum packages needed plus xeye theme, webshell and logread.

The wireless issues are still there but I figure the MR3420v5 will no longer be supported soon and I can run the R8000 the same, with wireless off and the Asus RT-AC1200 AP.

I should be able to run the latest Gargoyle builds for quite some time and it won't sit in a box and die a slow death. I just need to do some tests to make sure there aren't any other problems.

Cheers

After a few tests, I did all my settings and connected the R8000 to my network with wireless turned off. So far it's running without any issues, the AP is even connected at 1Gbps which is a nice surprise.

Code: Select all

b53-srab-switch 18007000.ethernet-switch lan1: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx
I guess I need to swap the LAN cable I use for testing and check my laptop network card.

Cheers
