Asus RT-AC86u

ASUSWRT-Merlin gives you lots more options for Logs than Standard ASUSWRT for the RT-AC86U

I assume you was looking at the General Log for this information?

If i backup my settings and then upgrade to the Merlin FW will the saved backup file be compatible with the Merlin FW?

You should be able to just flash the RMerlin firmware straight onto the router, without needing to back it up and restore. just make sure you use the major releases like RT-AC86U_384.6_0.zip etc

Note; back-up config is wise, just incase you hit an issues, but usually it works well as a straight flash

Since updating to the latest Merlin FW (384.7) my system time is correct but the time on the logs is an hour behind ?

With Your RT-AC86U, under Advanced Settings > Administration > System, – Time Zone is there a  message saying (* Reminder: The System time zone is different from your locale setting.) ?

If this is so, then you need to go to Advanced Settings > Administration >System and change DST Time Zones as in Attachment and make sure Time Zone is – Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London.

Hopefully this will fix issue with time discrepancies.

It is set exactly the same as in your image.

 

And i am not getting this message – Reminder: The System time zone is different from your locale setting.

 

Tried a reboot and changing time zone to something different and back again with no joy.

Interesting, I am on 384.5 and log time is correct relative to system time, I will upgrade to RMerlin release 384.7 tomorrow and see if I have the same issues ?

I have flashed my RT-AC86U with RMerlins – 384.7  and did not factory reset, so far Logs WEB History and General Logs are synched with System time?

When you get a moment, give us a screen dump of your System page so we can have a look ;)

And What time reference are the Web History logs (Under Adaptive QoS) if you are using this?

Web history is turned off.  Turned it on and is logging at correct time.

That is interesting, I assume General Logs are still 1 hour out?
