None has appeared yet on the FCC public database AFAIK, unless that website is out of date - been a while since I've last monitored it. I'm only starting to see traces of Wifi 8-related code appear in the GPL sources, so it's probably still way too early. Politicians themselves probably don't...

Reproduce the issue with the stock firmware, then contact Asus. I have done all that I could, and since mine no longer crashed after that GPL update, there`s notthing more that I can do. They fixed it because I reported it to them a few weeks ago. I couldn`t integrate the fix myself because...

It's a CMS caching issue. While my deployment script does purge the Cloudflare cache through the API, my website has some custom modules that I wrote to dynamically display version/hash values on the website from data files that my deployment uploads. I forgot to purge the CMS cache after...

And restricted to specifically the FCC decision and the effect it will have on routers.

I don't know off the top of my head everything that tmight trigger a firewall restart, but there are a few events such as a WAN restart. Check the log for any mention of a "restart_firewall" event.

I don't know about US regulations, but here in Canada to be allowed to use the "Made in Canada" mention on a product there are various things that need to be fulfilled in terms of the amount of materials, components, labour, etc...

Note that on stock firmware you still have to deal with the fact that these rules will be gone whenever the firewall gets restarted - not just on reboots.

I would add a second rule with "-p tcp" instead of "-p udp".

Note that DNS can also use tcp (whenever a query is too large to be resolved over udp).

3006.102.7_2 is now available. Changes since 3006.102.7: 3006.102.7_2 (24-Mar-2026) - NEW: Added Cake support for GT-BE19000AI (implemented the missing webui to configure it). - UPDATED: Merged GPL 102_39848 (RT-BE92U only). - UPDATED: curl to 8.17 (backport from 102_39848)...

There are no GPL changes in 3006.102.7 beside the GT-BE19000AI (because my previous release was based on much earlier code for that model) and the RT-BE92U in 102.7_2 (because of the stability issues in the previous GPL for that model). I won't be getting updated GPLs until late April or early May.

Same with stock firmware. Wifi 6 and Wifi 7 device are on separate code branches internally.

ISPs won't be affected since they always offer older products, and the ban only affects products not already approved by the FCC. If anything, it will greatly slow down Wifi 8 adoption in the US since all these products will need to be FCC approved over the coming months/years. Until TACO, though.

7_1 is the test build. For point releases, I do like Linux used to do: use odd version for development builds, and even version for release. So, 7_1 is a test build, 7_2 will be the final release once available.

Yes - centralized management. You will be able to monitor ALL clients from the main router interface rather than having to move between two different web interface. You will also be able to force a client to connect to one specific interface. It will also let you manage firmware updates...
