dd-wrt on Asus RT-N66U
by David Mehler 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Hello, I've got an Asus RT-N66U rev b1 currently running the latest merlin firmware. I'd like to get it going with dd-wrt. I've downloaded the .trx file for dd-wrt, but am unable to get the router in to recovery or rescue mode, the asus rescue utility won't see it, so it's not in recovery. Any suggestions on how to go dd-wrt from merlin? Thanks. Dave.

Gateway laptop password unlocking

Hello, I'm working on a gateway laptop it's NE56 something, it's a newer machine, it's got a 500GB hard drive, 4GB of ram, 64 bit running either windows 8 or 8.1. The original user of it has passed, and the family need in to it to see if there are any files they need/want. I've tried in both CD and USB stick bootable talking windows media nothing has worked. A friend of mine also tried NT offline recovery, that didn't work either. We are not sure why the machine is not booting from non-hard drive media. The bios is set to UEFI, if we set it to legacy then my friend's NT offline recovery disk does boot, but it can not access the partition error code 0 and says the machine is hibernating. I'm suspecting the issue is one of fast startup. Any ideeas? Thanks. Dave.

merlin firmware on Asus RT-N66U Rev B1 Router, external storage
by David Mehler 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Hello, I'm running the latest Merlin firmware 3.80.67_0 June 2017 on my Asus RT-N66U rev B1 router. I'm having issues related to the external USB storage. I've got an USB portable hard drive plugged in to it. According to sighted help the drive is showing as unmounted. I've tried both ports same result. This indicator is not reading with a screen reader. It has at least mounted in the past at least where it showed up, yet adding a user to it so that said user would have more than read only access, also was inaccessible with a screen reader. Does anyone use this firmware and have any ideas? Thanks. Dave.

NVDA with Secure CRT is amazing!
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 09 Aug '17

Because I'm having a lot of problems with Jaws at the moment, I'm using NVDA a lot more than I would have. NVDA is slowing me down in Outlook and of course, I cant use it in remote desktop environments reliably but where it is really shining is in SecureCRT! I've just successfully connected to a Linux machine, Then used SSH to connect to a remote server where I needed to update some files. I used simple commands. Ls, pwd, ps etc and the feedback was perfect every single time. Then I ran nano and to my delight I was able to accurately navigate by character and by line. I haven't had that kind of reliability from a Windows screen reader in an SSH session before. I'm just delighted! I've also found good success in the command line and in powershell.
