    Announcement: 3006 progress report - it's a go

    Asus implemented support for DNSDirector within SDN (probably they intend to eventually use it for their mobile app support of DNS blocking). I implemented a web interface so Asuswrt-Merlin users can now apply DNSDirecctor to specific Guest Networks (on top of the fact that you currently can...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.8 is now available for specific models

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    Yes, that checkbox will erase the JFFS partition.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    It's never been there. These router uses the UBIFS filesystem, not JFFS. And since the router now stores a lot of its configuration there, erasing its content makes no sense unless you were doing a factory default reset. The last router that used JFFS was the RT-AC5300.

    Bugs in WireGuard config UI

    The WireGuard implementation comes from Asus. Due to the size of this project and being the sole developer, I have to prioritize things. VPN-wise my focus is solely on OpenVPN, so any implementation change in WireGuard would have to come from Asus or a contributed patch. The fact that client...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 / 386.13_2 is now available for AC models

    These are hardly better. Asus is definitely the most opensource-friendly of the bunch, beside rolling out your own router from something like OpenWRT. All the other hardware manufacturers (like Netgear) are flat out hostile to potential third party developers. There's someone on SNBForums who...

    CVE-2024-3661 Attackers can use TunnelVision to snoop on users’ VPN traffic.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 / 386.13_2 is now available for AC models

    And what about the security fixes that my firmware has, but stock doesn't, like CVE-2023-5678 & CVE-2024-0727? Or the fact that Asus's OpenVPN is 2 years older than mine? Unless you can point at a specific issue that they address and that I don't and that actually is an issue for your network...

    Fun with ChatGPT...

    Your AI is clearly hallucinating. That changelog is actually being read by someone.

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    Just VLAN and Guest Network Pro features alone are MAJOR changes that involve thousands of lines of code throughout the firmware.

    BCM4916 process node?

    My GT-AXE16000 sits at 75C, however that doesn't necessarily say much since there's often been a lot of variance in temperatures between routers of a same model.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 / 386.13_2 is now available for AC models

    Asuswrt-Merlin is not Asuswrt. I base all 386.xx models on the same code branch, because I don`t have the resources to manage 10 separate branches for a given platform. How things are done internally by Asus is only known by Asus, but the fact that different models have vastly different...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 / 386.13_2 is now available for AC models

    I don't know as I have no idea what specific code changes these fixes are. Some of these aren't even relevant to Asuswrt-Merlin (such as the OpenVPN fixes - we don't use the same OpenVPN code). Asus' releases aren't linear and come from multiple parallel branches, I have absolutely no idea...

    Fun with ChatGPT...

    Our parents used to spend their time sitting in front of the TV throughout the evening. Spending a few minutes to fiddle with an AI chatbot seems like time better spent to me since it does require you to think :) And it also gets people to interact with one another, rather than just absently...
