    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 Beta is now available

    Same router GT-AXE16000? HB

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 Beta is now available

    GT-AXE16000 - all seems OK. Found one UI bug (which may have been introduced in a previous firmware). If you disable other WiFi bands whilst leaving 2.4 on, the UI reports that 2.4 is disabled when it is not. I do not use Smart connect. HB

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    Same here for two RT-AX86U nodes. I just use the ASUS app (which reports them as ‘off’) to turn on the LEDs (which are already on) and then toggle them to off. An annoying bug for sure! HB

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.5 is now available

    Thank you so much. I couldn’t work out how to see these on GitHub. I’ll be doing the same as you and skipping the release then. @RMerlin - a nice to have would be an asterisk or similar against any components that have changed since beta in your future final release notes. And thanks as always. HB

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.5 is now available

    Late seeing the release. Has anything changed from beta>release or can I leave on beta? Apologies if this has been discussed already. HB

    [ 3004.388.5 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Same here. Another big thanks to RMerlin from me too. 👊 HB

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 beta is now available

    No issues here so far with GT-AXE16000 and two AX86U wired nodes. Did you complete a full factory reset once you had flashed Merlin over the stock? HB

    Difficulty Updating to latest firmware RT-AX58U_388.2_2_puresqubi.w (existing AI mesh set-up)

    Do you have the newer v2 AX58U’s? If so, that’s the issue as only v1 is supported by RMerlin. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/fork-asuswrt-merlin-for-rt-ax58u_v2.81804/ HB

    Merlin 388.1 AX86U, Wi-Fi connection is to phone dropping frequently, have to turn off and on Wifi on phone to 'fix'. Happens again minutes after.

    It’s a known issue. If you read through the 388 threads, RMerlin has provided an ASUS test firmware that hopefully fixes this. Alternatively, roll back or wait for 388.2...

    good practice wifi settings 2,4 & 5GHz ?

    And me. Same SSIDs for almost 10 years now over many ASUS routers, the first being an RT-AC66U. I’ve not noticed any issues either. HB

    AX88U PRO hit FCC

    The ASUS Zen range are nicer looking IMO if you want a router that doesn’t scream ‘look at me’. https://www.asus.com/uk/content/zenwifi/ I do agree that the ROG range are all pretty hideous though! HB

    Solved Help! Cannot update GT-AXE16000 to 388

    I gave up trying in the end and returned the router for a replacement. Per my previous post all ASUS could advise was that the router was crashing according the the feedback logs I sent them. Letting it auto-update to 388 resulted in the same boot loops that you are experiencing. I suspect...

    Solved Help! Cannot update GT-AXE16000 to 388

    I factory reset each time setting up just the bare minimum every time before trying to flash so AiProtection and the like had not even been switched on. I also tried the latest release and beta - same result (failed). My replacement actually arrived earlier today. I flashed 388.22237...

    Solved Help! Cannot update GT-AXE16000 to 388

    Just posting to close this thread off and in case anyone else has the same issue and stumbles across this thread. I spent several weeks going back and forth with ASUS support and sending them logs after attempting to update to firmware FW_GT_AXE16000_300438821617 after full resets (WPS/power...

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    Did you ensure that only your PC was connected via Ethernet when you set your router to rescue mode? HB

    Asus RT-AX88u flash / nand / storage issue?

    @killeriq - how are you getting on? Have you managed to update to 388? If so - how? Thnx. HB

    Solved Help! Cannot update GT-AXE16000 to 388

    Correct. Support is being given under the ASAUS 386 official version. I can flash any older firmwares just not the latest 388 (ASUS or Merlin). HB

    Solved Help! Cannot update GT-AXE16000 to 388

    I have not. I’ve opened a ticket with ASUS and they’re looking at my logs. They initially advised that they can successfully update their test GT-AXE16000 router without issue and thought I had corrupt setting somewhere. Not sure how as I fully reset the router several times (GUI and the...

    Solved Help! Cannot update GT-AXE16000 to 388

    Thank you again. I'm definitely trying to flash the correct firmware (RMerlin and ASUS): I tried all morning again today with PC and laptop, fully reset the router, switched MS defender and the like off and finally got the ASUS recovery tool to flash ASUS 388 after 20 or so attempts. The...
