    RT-AC68U 13.2 update fails almost immediately...

    Yep, totally forgot that the 386.13_2 is only for two routers and the RT-AC68U isn't one of them. @Dudeman should confirm they are downloading the latest correct firmware file (RT-AC68U_386.13_0.zip) for their RT-AC68U router...

    Double the model name of the router on the back or bottom of the unit to ensure you are obtaining the correct firmware file for your model.

    ASUS Firmware update privacy policy?

    No, sounds like the ASD updates that Asus pushes to their routers: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/what-is-asd-process.76242/#post-729340 Per RMerlin: Last year a corrupted ASD update caused all sorts of issues for Asus router users. It took 48 hours, but the mystery of the mass Asus router...

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

    I'd assume either the EU or maybe Great Britain mandated it.

    ASUS Firmware update privacy policy?

    The below screen capture is the relevant info on the Firmware Upgrade page on a RT-AX86U when one disagrees with the initial Asus privacy policy notice. Note what it indicates for Security Upgrade. Also note that both settings are disabled yet according to Asus, and as mentioned in the Firmware...

    RT-AC68U 13.2 update fails almost immediately...

    Is Is your RT-AC68U by chance a T-Mobile branded TM-AC1900 router? If so did you properly jailbreak the T-Mobile router including performing the MTD5 fix? If one doesn't perform the MTD5 fix on the TM-AC1900 they may be prevented from updating to later Asus or Asus-Merlin firmware. What...

    ASUS Firmware update privacy policy?

    Yes that is the way the notice is worded. While you can select "disagree" and "I understand the risk" and the router will disable "Auto Firmware Upgrade" and "Security Upgrade" settings; Asus however will still retain the ability to update the router when they feel its necessary (or at the...

    Need help setting up DLNA server

    What is the device or computer that is storing the media files? If a computer why not simply install a DLNA media server on that computer? If a NAS, most NAS boxes come with a DLNA media server or have the ability to have one installed.

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

    Some comments and observations after spending some time playing with the basic 3.0.0.6_102_34312 firmware settings on an RT-AX86U Pro (no AiMesh, no VPN, no USB drive attached). Some of which has been reported/commented on already by others. The Asus Privacy Notice in the QIS setup section is...

    Release schedule for firmware?

    As others have said, generally no there isn't a set schedule. Asus does have a Product Security Advisory page where they sometimes post security updates. https://www.asus.com/content/asus-product-security-advisory/

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

    Took a quick look at this 3006 firmware on a RT-AX86U Pro and ended up having issues with the Guest Network Pro settings. For what ever reason I couldn't get Guest Network Pro WiFi clients isolated from the main LAN clients in my quick testing. Even tried a Custom Guest Network Pro entry with...

    ASUS Firmware update privacy policy?

    The new privacy screen/information and forcing the user to choose was mentioned and posted to the RT-AX86U Pro 3006 firmware discussion over a week ago: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-ax86u-pro-firmware-version-3-0-0-6_102_34312-2024-05-09.90015/page-2#post-906998 One can just select...

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

    @diabolyk, generally one can flash the newer Asus-Merlin over the top of the existing version. There are some "recommendations" though for doing so on the Asus-Merlin Wiki Installation page: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Installation It is generally suggested to remove...

    asus rt-ac68u disconnecting from internet issues firmware 386.3_2

    Why are you changing that setting to enable HDD hibernation? Are you going to, or do you already have, have a USB storage device attached to the router?

    asus rt-ac68u disconnecting from internet issues firmware 386.3_2

    The general consensus around here by more than a few is to run stock Asus firmware on the AiMesh nodes since one generally doesn't gain much benefit from the Asus-Merlin firmware features due to many features being disabled when the router is configured as a AiMesh node. AiMesh is what it is...

    Transferring the cfg file to another model

    @pavel.tragan, it is generally recommended one does not import a router.cfg file from one Asus router to another (different) Asus router. If you use the forum search feature you'll find a few discussions where people inquired about doing so. For example this recent discussion...

    @Metroguy, you have resurected a discussion from 2021. What firmware are you running on your RT-AC68U? The latest stable Asus-Merlin firmware for the RT-AC68U is 386.13. https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/

    High memory usage in GT-AXE16000

    Yes its normal when you have a USB drive attached to the router and are using that storage as a file server/media streamer. Plenty of past discussions and posts about people asking similar questions when the memory usage is at 95% or higher. For example this recent discussion...

    Smart Band Steering

    Not really. Its just common sense to disable Smart Connect as a troubleshooting step when one is having issues of 5Ghz clients connecting to 2.4Ghz when using Smart Connect. For my usage, I turn it off and assign different SSID's and passwords to each Wifi band due to past issues similar to...

    Hostname DHCP reservation list is too long.

    If I remember right you do not need a comma after the hostname/device in your examples.
