[384.11_Alpha - builds] Testing all variants.

[XIII]

ntpMerlin is stuck on waiting for nvram variable "ntp_ready" to become 1.

@RMerlin: Does 384.11 Alpha 2 still set that?

Installed a few spare routers I have with the 384.11 Alpha 2 firmware here. No real issues, but some notes I made while I was doing these upgrades.

RT-AC68U, with a full amtm (i.e. all available scripts installed, including FreshJR QOS) menu:

• Rebooted the router, installed the firmware, rebooted, no internet.
• Note: I did not remove the USB drive from this router.
  
• Changed 'Connect to DNS Server automatically' in the WAN section, rebooted.
• Working.

RT-AC3100, with a full amtm (i.e. all available scripts installed, including FreshJR QOS) menu:

• Rebooted the router, tried to install the firmware, locked everything up. Internet kept working, but no scripts were running, nor was the router accessible via the GUI or SSH.
• I unplugged the router, waited 2 minutes and plugged it back in. Internet was working.
• Scripts dead. Signing into the GUI (SSH, not working), the USB drive was not mounted.
• I unplugged the router once more, waited 2 minutes, unplugged the USB drive, powered it back up.
• Internet still not working, GUI working, SSH working. Flashed to Alpha 2 and this time, it 'took'.
• After it rebooted, I unplugged the router, waited 2 minutes, plugged in the USB drive and powered it up.
• Internet not working. But we are on the Alpha 2 build.
• Changed 'Connect to DNS Server automatically' in the WAN section, rebooted.
• Working.

After seeing the results with the above two routers, (everything seemed to be speeded up, very responsive), I decided to flash my main router too. But I changed the order of things:

RT-AC86U, with a full amtm (i.e. all available scripts installed, including FreshJR QOS) menu:

• Uninstalled Stubby. Rebooted. Unplugged router, waited 2 minutes.
• Removed the USB drive. Power up the router. Flash Alpha 2.
• After it rebooted, I again unplugged the router, waited 2 minutes.
• Plugged in the USB drive. Powered up the router.
• Everything working and did I mention its fast.

I'll try to play with the new options, maybe by this weekend, but so far can see a noticeable improvement in the router's responsiveness (all of them).

Too bad Asus' 'release' versions aren't as polished as the Alpha builds RMerlin gives us.

And don't forget when in doubt use m&m for better results.

You know, it was ready to go. Just didn't need it yet.

Hey! There it is. Where did that come from!

 

[L&LD]

Ha, ha, ha. Just finished installing 384.11 Alpha 3 on the same routers as in post 83.

I should have been patient for just a few more minutes!

I was just thinking that after seeing your post about Alpha 2!

 

[no_name]

Flashed RT-AC86U from 384.11_alpha2 to 384.11_alpha3

Format JFFS partition at next boot, factory reset and manually reconfigured settings

Settings used

VPN Client using ExpressVPN
DHCP Server
Traffic Analyzer
Adaptive QoS
AIProtection

All work as expected as they did with alpha2

amtm, diversion, skynet & spdmerlin installed plus both iOS shortcuts

Still having fun playing with scripts

Diversion is disabled because the internet side of my Tivo v6 box does not play nicely when the VPN clients policy rules are set to all

Still no IPv6 address from Internet with 384.11_alpha3-g0bf64b1597

• IPv4 is OK
• Simple Comcast IPv6
  • Native
  • DHCP-PD Enabled
  • Stateless
• No router VPN client
• Router GUI shows LAN IPv6 Address
• System Log - IPv6 Network Information appears as if nothing is wrong
  
• No IPv6 issues with 384.10_2 or before
  • http://ipv6-test.com/ is 19/20
• Weird delay from https://browserleaks.com/ip as if packets dropped rather than rejected
• http://test-ipv6.comcast.net/ is 0/20 "No IPv6 address detected"

What router? And also on system log page the ipv6 tab do you see a wan ipv6 gateway address?

RT-AX88U
No, WAN IPv6 Gateway is blank

 

[Swistheater]

No, WAN IPv6 Gateway is blank

That means your router is not detecting the ipv6 default route provided by your isp, if it did it would have established connection. This must be an issue introduced by the new firmware released by asus.

 

[Swistheater]

If you put the router in passthru mode it will.show you

That means your router is not detecting the ipv6 default route provided by your isp, if it did it would have established connection. This must be an issue introduced by the new firmware released by asus.

If you turned passthrough mode on and go.back to this page I bet you would see your wan ipv6 gateway address. The down side is this doesnt distribute it though like native mode does.

My comcast ipv6 is working with those settings.
Did you verify Tools-Other Settings-Advanced Tweaks and Hacks:
Yes for drop ipv6 neighbor

 

[Swistheater]

It may not have anything todo with comcast itself as a service but more to do with modem that is being used.

 

[Swistheater]

Give the drop solicitation a try and see if it helps.

Reverted back to 384.10_2 and now I have a WAN IPv6 Gateway

Guess I will try that next time

I will try that next time but I was under the impression it was a workaround for a Comcast problem which is no longer a problem. Has not been a problem 384.10_2 and earlier.

it definitely has to do with a combination of the new firmware brought into this beta from asus and the modem you are using.
