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

    Any chance of it being put back in with a later release? I use an SNMP app to track throughput when I don't have the Asus UI open.

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

    384.4 Beta for AC86U is missing the SNMP tab under Administration Tab. Not sure if this is Asus or Merlin. 384.3 has it.

    [Beta 382] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.2 Beta is now available

    The new boot loader prevents overriding clock settings in the NVRAM now.

    [Beta 382] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.2 Beta is now available

    I loaded the latest 382.2 Beta1 firmware on my AC86U and AC68U and I am not seeing the new IPSec Tabs or options for an IPSec VPN. I have reset the caches in all my browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and did a power cycle on the routers after I loaded the firmware. Am I missing something or...

    [Release 382] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 is now available

    With the AC86U and the new 382 code, Flow Cache is CTF and Runner is hardware acceleration. Runner does not work with AiProtect and QoS. Flow Cache still uses the CPU so that is why you still see it being hit as bandwidth goes up. Only Runner is true hardware acceleration bypassing the CPU...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    Not sure if this is an Asus closed-source issue and thus Eric can't fix or not, but I am noticing with the 382.1 Beta 1,2,3,4 code on the AC86U when I am connected to the router via WiFi, QoS gauges only register Upload bandwidth but not Download bandwidth. When I am connected via Ethernet, the...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    BTW - nothing big but something I noticed - when you have an OpenVPN client configured to automatically launch after a re-boot or when the router is powered off then on, the VPN Status and Client pages do not show the external IP address. You have to manually stop then re-start the VPN again...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    Doh! That was it. I mistakenly downloaded Beta_3 for the 3100 not the AC86U. Thanks.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    HMMM..... Why Am I not seeing it with Safari? I cleared the caches.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    Ah OK. Does this mean we will soon have CPU temp in the GUI? I just loaded your Beta3 for the AC86U and cleared my browser caches but do not see the CPU temp.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    What does " WebUI: Convert HND CPU temperature from float to integer values" do? There still is no CPU temp under Tools or Temperature tabs as I thought Broadcom either doesn't report CPU temp or it is closed source.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 382.1 Beta is available

    It may be too early to know at this point but I figured I would ask - Does anyone know what features affect Flow Cache and Runner? That is, what features when activated will de-activate Flow Cache and Runner? It appears AiProtection and Adaptive QoS turn off Runner but not Flow Cache with the...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-merlin 380.68 Beta is now available

    So what does this mean? When the official 382 code comes out, will all new and legacy models run on it? e.g. AC68U, AC86U, AC88U, etc. If all new and legacy routers will run the 382 code, this means no more of your firmware? The stock ASUS firmware, especially on their newest hardware, is...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 Beta is now available

    It is not the devices dropping the connection but rather the AC88U having the 5Ghz SSID just suddenly disappear and all connected clients are dropped. The router LEDs and router logs show the 5Ghz network is still active and broadcasting however the client devices can't see it anymore in the...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 Beta is now available

    As I stated, it does not happen to all AC88Us. I can say that all the people complaining of the 5Ghz channel dropping are not using their routers in AP mode so that is probably why you are not seeing it.

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 Beta is now available

    Hard to say. All I know is Merlin has not experienced it with his AC88U and so far Asus is claiming there is no issue. I have researched this a lot and there are tons of complaints about the 5Ghz wifi dropping issue with these routers (88U, 5300, 3100) on Amazon, SNB, and Maylyn's blog to...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 Beta is now available

    Don't use 20/40/80 Mhz or 80 Mhz channel width settings with 5 Ghz. Use only 40Mhz. There is an intermittent issue with this family of routers (88u, 3100, 5300) whereby the 5Ghz network intermittently drops connections and/or drops of completely even though the LED and router report it is...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 Beta is now available

    If you have your 5Ghz channel width set to 20/40/80 Mhz or 80Mhz, this happens with some AC88Us. It is either a bug with Asus or Broadcom firmware. If you set your channel width to 40Mhz or 20Mhz, this doesn't happen. No solid explanation why some AC88Us have this problem and some don't...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 Beta is now available

    As I stated earlier, I do set the control channel. I have tried all the channels available on my router and unless channel bandwidth is kept at 40Mhz, all connections drop and the SSID disappears even though the router LED shows the WiFi still broadcasting. You may be right about clients but...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 Beta is now available

    Thanks. You are set up exactly like me except I use channels 1 and 44. Again, it still doesn't address why some AC88Us can't use 80Mhz wide channels and some can. Really disappointed as this is supposed to be their flagship router yet it can't provide the added WiFi bandwidth 80 MHz provides...
