    [Preview 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 early test builds

    Installed alpha3 - was looking ok then lost all external connectivity. Router UI was still showing connected, but 0 traffic flow from either router itself or from wireless or wired devices. Nothing I could see in the logs, or even dmesg. Rebooted and though I had an external IP, ddns was...

    384_4 Broke my AC3200

    Ok so it was stable for a week until just now. Lost all connectivity. upstream looked ok but no router connected devices (wifi or ethernet) could get anywhere. After 10 mins or so I rebooted... :-( I *DO* have a USB-3 disk connected (mostly apple time machine, also ad0-hoc file sharing)...

    [Preview 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 early test builds

    Just to update, AC-3200, had a failure today on alpha2. Lost all external connectivity seemingly from all devices both wifi and ethernet. Not just DNS but no connectivity. I couldn't reach my upstream cable modem from the router either. Nothing in the error log. STP is disabled.; No indications...

    384_4 Broke my AC3200

    Things seem to be stable for me this week on the 384.5 alpha2 for the AC3200 I DID do a reset when I was on an earlier 384 build, AND I have disabled STP - though that could be specific to my local network. I have > 20 clients, many on 5 Ghz, but a few on 2.4 Ghz and they are working fine...

    [Preview 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 early test builds

    No bridges in use as such..... But sonos implemented its own black box mesh network.... That's one suspicion. The other one is the cable router (in modem mode)... Because.. Well it's isp provided and many have bugs... But this is all speculation. If I get a chance I'll try more debugging...

    [Preview 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 early test builds

    I was Previously running 384.4_2 and was getting a loss of connectivity (mostly external) after anything from 29s of minutes to many hours. Sometimes it fixed itself after a number of hours. I noticed some bridge reconfiguration in the logs.... Spanning tree activity... And disabled the...

    [Preview 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 early test builds

    Ac3200 here. Factory reset on 384.4 and now with spanning tree disabled. Working well with 26 clients about 1/3 wifi though most on 5GHz. Two devices on 2.4 working fine for 24hrs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    Just a wish update following my troubles with the ac3200 on this firmware.... Disabling spanning tree has resolved the issues. I do now remember making this change in another 384 build. In unclear as to whether this is a firmware bug or issues with perhaps sonos or my virgin hub3... Sent...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    My latest experiment is to disable spanning tree protocol... I remember now doing this on a previous firmware. Too early to know if this is the cause but I do see some spanning tree events around the time I lost connection last time around Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    It didn't help anyway. Issue reoccurs. Yes local net still works and can get to router but nothing external Alpha4 (or3?) was the last build I didn't notice such issues with so if there's no.5 test build by Sunday and the issue reoccurs I'll back off again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    It happened again this morning. I did a little more investigation and could see that there was no WAN connectivity even from the router itself... By a little random fiddling in the WAN section I got the router to come back online (WAN is via Virgin Media Hub 3 ie a cable modem). For now I...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    I continue to have some issues with the AC3200. 384.4 beta4 seemed stable, but with 384.4 release I had some situations where after a while, whilst I could get to my router pages, and the internet showed as connected (cable modem), I couldn't reach any internet sites. This seemed to affect all...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    More problems on the AC-3200 from family... multiple devices... I ended up backing off to 384.4 beta 3 and the issues seem resolved. I had previously factory reset on 384.x (I think x=4, though may have been .3 .. both beta). Anyone else having issues with the 3200 on the latest update. the...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    Thanks for the update Eric. All the work is very much appreciated. I applied the 384.4 on top of 384.4 beta3 on my RT-AC3200. After install I struggled with wifi, in particular on 5 Ghz bands. I connected ok but there was no data throughput. I rebooted twice, slept on it, and had same issue in...

    RT-AC3200 Running Merlin 384.3 Random Reboots

    Yes factory reset. Do not restore bit reconfigure manually. Has it certainly rebooted? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    I'll bear that in mind. I expect my sons' laptop could have ethernet+wifi at once, and 2 of the Sonos devices definitely do (though they also use their own mesh network). The power line is also mesh? loopback/multiple cables unlikely (never enough ports) but I'll need to inspect. Interestingly...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    I looked at my AC3200 logs from last night where the router went offline twice for a few hours at a time. The best I could ascertain was I think I was getting some STP related events or similar: (this is just an example) Mar 6 15:09:43 kernel: br0: received packet on vlan1 with own address as...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    Is anyone else running this firmware on the AC3200? Finding it stable? I am.... It looks as if my router has failed again - previously this happened before I did a full reset, but this time it's happened afterwards. Since I'm away from home I only know it's not pingable, vpn not responding, the...

    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-merlin 384.4 Beta is now available

    Update to my RT-AC3200 issue - it occurred again with the current *STOCK* firmware. I've now done a full factory reset (with limited manual reconfig) directly on the current merlin beta 384.4b1 & will try with that...
