    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 Beta is available for select models

    Saw similar behaviour. I had no add-ons installed (XT12 no usb), did do a factory reset and re-configure and the problem persisted. I went back to stock 386 version. I have no idea what caused it.

    ASUS AX6000 (XT8) when the main router fails

    You would need to reset to factory defaults and setup from scratch to change the node to behave as a router. If you can buy a single xt8 then you can add it as a node, the difference is that these two devices won't automatically pair as the devices in the two pack often/sometimes do. Just add...

    ASUS Mesh Network - Firmware Question

    Check out https://gnuton.github.io/asuswrt-merlin.ng/ for a fork of the Merlin firmware for the XT8. If the AX92U is used as a node its firmware could just stay as stock. In my experience there can be some hiccups if the firmware gets out of sync. between the devices on the AiMesh but not...

    Will Asus RT-AX86U support VPN Tunneling for defined subnet?

    Hehe, don't forget to give CleanBrowsing.org at quick look.

    Will Asus RT-AX86U support VPN Tunneling for defined subnet?

    The developer of a Merlin VPN add-on script recommends TorGuard. A bit more expensive but mostly it works very well. I tried several of the current VPN providers myself and ended up settling on TorGuard too. Only problem I have had with it is that on Windows it seems to stop working properly...

    How to force XT8 mesh into particular topography config

    Mmm ... that -65dbm is quite low IMHO, the selection algorithm is probably set to be a bit too pessimistic but ... It will be interesting to see if you find a way to influence the selection in favor of what actually performs better for you. IIRC the last time I had connection drop outs I had to...

    How to force XT8 mesh into particular topography config

    None that I'm aware of. Are you sure it's actually better to have it the way you think it should be. Using the "Preferable Uplink AP" has to bias the selection so maybe the difference is great enough that it's not being used. For example, for the uplink to be better going via a nearby node it...

    upgrading router from GT-AC5300 to ZenWifi AX (XT8)

    The advice so far is good IMHO, but just in case your as weak as I am when it comes to buying routers Wireless1 has the two pack on special for AU$650. It seems my experience with the XT8s is not the same as many others, but I've only used them as AiMesh nodes to my GT-AX11000 and they mostly...

    XT8 constant disconnects

    I notice you have the 2.4GHz channel set to auto. I have a Solar system that doesn't like that setting. It seems to me that since the "auto" setting actually does change the wireless channel from time to time these days (historically it didn't AFAICT) some devices can react badly to it when it...

    UDP from wireless through wired

    Or a tcpdump on the router wireless interface the broadcasts are being sent to. And, once you work out what the broadcast looks like, compare with what your seeing on br0 to prove they aren't being forwarded. You could log a bug report to ASUS with that information. There might be a kernel...

    New Asus RT-AX88U Slow Upload speeds on Wifi only

    I believe it's because your device will use a fresh config if you do that. It should be sufficient to clear the existing connection (eg. forget the connection on a phone) and re-establish the association so any stored parameters are refreshed. Using a different SSID makes absolutely sure there...

    UDP from wireless through wired

    Broadcast to what address? AFAICT multicast address are forwarded, you should see a route in the routing table for them. Essentially 239.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 via br0, and br0 should include all the local interfaces including the wireless interfaces. If it's a straight network broadcast it should be...

    UDP from wireless through wired

    I wonder if "Enable IGMP Snooping" will make a difference, if it isn't already enabled of course.

    Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Issue - NAT Issue With Two Xbox One Consoles

    It's not the default setting though. You do need to go to the WAN tab and select it for NAT Type.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    When you look closely there's not much you miss out on, the Merlin VPN implementation offers more than VPNFusion, and the gaming features are mostly available just without the flashy interface. And for people like myself that got the AX11000 purely because it had three wireless radios and there...

    What's the latest on QoS in 386.2?

    That's kernel version and the kernel version is generally tied to the router main board used in each model and the development SDK that is provided with it. If the board manufacturer hasn't updated the SDK by now they aren't going to. They will be devoting current effort on the newer technology...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    snip... Possibly not that useful but I have installed beta 2 on my AX11000 last night. I'm using the AX11000 as the AiMesh main node with two XT8 nodes. I'm not using any addons, only AiProtection, Adaptive QOS/Automatic Setting on a 50/20 WAN link and CleanBrowsing DoT DNS. I want to see how...

    kernel: Slab corruption

    It's not hard to find out what the linux kernel slab allocator is with a web search. I don't think the memory used by the slab allocator is swapable so it might be faulty memory hardware, or a bug in the kernel. It might be from a failure to allocate a chunk of memory from the memory reserved...

    [Thread-1] [ 386.1_Alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Loaded alpha3 with factory reset. Without any other configuration changes started adding my reserved IPs. Added them all (about 43) and hit apply to be met with an empty list on return. Started adding them again applying after every few addresses and noticed the host name setting wasn't saved...
