ASUS RT-AX58 - Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.24762

[prosperot]

Yesterday my RT-AX58U router found this new firmware. It isn't posted here or on the official Asus firmware download pages.
So no changelog (yet)

They also added freemyip.com DDNS provider but didn't mention it in the changelog.

Upgraded from Merlin 388.6_2 a few hours ago (Merlin 388.6_2 -> Asuswrt 386.45898 -> Asuswrt 388.24762) and everything works fine.

This is exactly the same router running exactly the same firmware. Different marketing only.

I know, but it does have its own webpage and the file says AX3000..

FWIW, I installed this on mine this morning, haven't seen any issues. (But am simple- no mesh or anything.).

It broke my AiMesh system reboot (booting master and nodes in sync). And if I just boot the master node, a day or later the secondary node will disconnect itself from the master node from admin web page point of view. I can still get LAN connection to Internet on secondary node, but the admin web page won't see it and declared it is disconnected.
Haven't done the full reset / restore setting trick yet.

UPDATE: after 30 minutes of manually rebooted the secondary node, now the AiMesh/System Settings/System Reboot is willing to boot BOTH my master node and secondary node. How strange...

After more than 24 hours of use, I would say the new firmware (388.24762) really has some issues, at least on web admin UI.
The AiMesh connection would disappear (Disconnected status) from the admin page from time to time, you leave it alone for a few minutes, login again, and it will come back. The connected devices on the second node cannot be seen but to gradually appear.
On the network side, it looks like working normally, both the wired and wireless network on the second node.
Tried AiMesh System Reboot, power off/on the devices physically, with no apparent improvement.
Did think about to revert the firmware to previous version, but given it doesn't have any actual networking issue, I decide to keep it for a while and see if Asus would come up with a firmware update.
p.s. Mine is a pair of RT-AX3000, with wired backhaul to run AiMesh. The web admin UI is run on a MacBook Safari browser.

Yes, on one client. It looks like on mine the long name from the previous device decided to roll over onto the garbled looking device name.
