    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    @bennor mentioned earlier in post #3 about the EULA when first running the updated firmware. But it keeps popping up frequently. The only way to get to the gui is to hit the OK button. Where is the "acceptance" stored? Browser cookie? NVRAM? JFFS? Is there anything I can do (browser settings...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    After accepting EULAs some weeks ago, these are popping up annoyingly again. It happened on both router and AP when their web ui both open in tabs in the same browser (firefox). Navigating from Administration --> Temperature tab to Network Map causes the EULA popup to appear. I do not use any...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    After putting off updating for too long I had a similar issue after dirty updating and thought "oh no..." After multiple browser refreshes, cookie deletions and I can't remember what else (ipconfig /release, renew, maybe rebooting router and PC etc.?), it started working again. I didn't need to...

    Band steering in Asus Merlin

    +1 My EOL RT-AC66U_B1 doesn't have Smart Connect, so the separate SSIDs per radio is what I use. It works, but I still find some clients get a bit too clingy to a bad signal when moving around. However, there is a setting in Advanced Settings > Wireless > Professional > Roaming assistant. When...

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

    I choose Asuswrt-Merlin because I trust it more than I trust Asuswrt to look after the important stuff. There is a community of testers (of varying thoroughness and expertise!) and add-on developers, so when issues are discovered they are addressed when needed by @RMerlin. This forum contains...

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

    @RMerlin has stated on another thread [https://www.snbforums.com/threads/current-plans-regarding-separate-version-branches.89312/page-2] that "386_51997 is the final GPL merge for these models". The assumption is that the vulnerability fixes listed by Asus for 3.0.0.4.386_51685 firmware are...

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

    I see that just over a week after 386.13_0 was released, on 2024/04/15 Asus released RT-AC66U B1 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51685. I assume given the EOL announcement this is probably the last Asus firmware release for RT-AC66U B1. It contains 8 vulnerability fixes (details here...

    guest network questions

    Thanks. Is there any way to make GN2 and GN3 available wirelessly from a second AP, for example, AiMesh? or YazFi? My understanding is that APs have no guest network capabilities, while AiMesh extends only GN1 from primary router to nodes. To consider for future upgrade, are there any Asus...

    guest network questions

    Thanks for answers explanations and suggestions. This is what I observed when testing, but does it mean the devices on GN2 & 3 can access other devices on the LAN? In other words, Intranet Access: Disable setting not respected on GN2 & 3?

    guest network questions

    Clients unable to connect to internet, and an "unfixed bug" from what I read on this forum when searching for info on guest network. But I have closed those pages so I'm afraid I can't quote them here. The changelog does suggest there were issues with GN1. Do GN2 & GN3 use different subnets to...

    guest network questions

    Looking at the changelog, I see "guest network 1" listed three times for fixes relating to dnsfilter, NTP and OpenVPN. So I can see why there was advice given on several threads to avoid using it. Can guest 1 be considered the same as guest 2 and guest 3 now, or is it different in some way, or...

    Solved 386 Changelog disappeared?

    Thanks. This was what I was looking for

    guest network questions

    Did the guest network 1 bug get fixed in the 386 lineage (RT-AC66U-B1) or does it remain inadvisable to use guest 1? Are guest network index 1, guest network index 2 and guest network index 3 isolated from each other when Access Intranet is set to disable? Do these get subnetted to...

    Solved 386 Changelog disappeared?

    I went looking for the changelog for 386.12. It's not here: https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/changelog-380 and it's NOT linked to on the sticky page (only 388 changelog is there): https://www.snbforums.com/threads/about-asuswrt-merlin-custom-firmware-for-asus-routers.7846/ It would be useful if...

    Upgrade time ... RT-AC66U-B1 to RT-AX68U?

    It actually makes perfect sense from a business perspective. If new regs mandate new labelling (e.g. UKCA) then manufacturers are dutybound to comply in order to continue selling product legally. If some more radio bandwidth becomes available (e.g. U-NII-3) then you might expect that to feature...

    Upgrade time ... RT-AC66U-B1 to RT-AX68U?

    Ah. So ASUS are behind the curve and not catering for changes to UK regs for product manufactured 2+ years after the change. But contrary to that observation, they are putting UKCA marks on their UK mains adapters, so it is not as if ASUS are blind to UK regulatory changes in recent years 🤔

    Upgrade time ... RT-AC66U-B1 to RT-AX68U?

    How is this controlled? Is there a non-changeable regional configuration stored in a non-user-accessible area of nvram?

    Upgrade time ... RT-AC66U-B1 to RT-AX68U?

    In the UK, Ch.149 is currently legal (since 2017). Asuswrt Merlin is behind the curve in restricting this on my existing router manufactured in 2019 ☹️ https://www.snbforums.com/threads/u-nii-3-5-725-to-5-850-ghz-uk-legal.40216/

    Upgrade time ... RT-AC66U-B1 to RT-AX68U?

    So our US friends are free to select 2.4GHz Ch.12 & Ch.13, just as I am in the UK? Or will I find that Ch.13 power has been overly restricted to accommadate US requirements? Guest network on floor 3 from AP2 is absent from the current system, so my mid-life crisis upgrade can skip that...

    Upgrade time ... RT-AC66U-B1 to RT-AX68U?

    Duh! I mean Ch.52. I have a cold and my brain is not working.
