Concur here on my rt5300...Content is adding and deleting from the network drive, and all content is present and as it should be. Plus, it all plays now!!Minidnla fixed in Alpha 3
Thanks, Eric!

I consider 2.4 GHz to be on its way out, as clients tend to be dual band these days, except maybe still low-end laptops (do manufacturers still cram these with single band single stream crap?)
Minidnla fixed in Alpha 3
I hope not as I have a metric crap ton of devices that only do 2.4 GHz from WiFi controlled electric plugs to sprinkler system.
Will it ever be possible for the AX-88U to have hardware acceleration fully enabled (runner & flow cache) with QoS on?
Well whatever you did fixed miniDLNA for the indexing of .vob files for me since 380.65. Since then miniDLNA log file would log a failure to index each .vob file. Whenever I would add a new .vob file to my video folder I would flash back to 380.65, force a complete index scan, then flash back to current firmware. The quick test I just did with one .vob & .m2ts file was properly indexed & played with alpha3. The miniDLNA log file shows no failures to index.I suspect the issue was only with specific codecs, as I tweaked the ffmpeg settings. Probably none of my test files used the affected codecs.
Thanks for the reply.No, for the same reason as with other router models. Hardware acceleration works by taking shortcuts and bypassing various Linux subsystems. One of these is involved in QoS handling.
With QoS on, I can only get about 420Mbps on gigabit fiber.
Yes, it is. I use a lot of bandwidth at times. I want low priority interfaces to throttle down when high priority interfaces are using a lot of bandwidth.Is your gigabit fiber asymmetric? With symmetric gigabit fiber I can't see a reason why one would need QoS.
What kind of cpu power would you need to run gigabit and qos in that case if you done mind me asking?No, for the same reason as with other router models. Hardware acceleration works by taking shortcuts and bypassing various Linux subsystems. One of these is involved in QoS handling.
All my tests were also done by only indexing a specific folder (as I only had one folder containing test files), so I don't think that's what makes the difference.

Upgrade AC3100 from V384.9_alpha2-g2c530c696 to V384.9_alpha3-g90685d684, and dirty reboot router. All appears to be working except the following that still worked in V384.8_2:
- Under "General|Network Map" Clients are back to listing only a few clients on my network, and when you click "View List", Clients disappear and list resets, never showing all clients
- This also resets the clients shown in the "Adaptive QOS | Bandwidth Monitor" section, until it populates again with LAN and Wireless clients. Those clients will stay there unless you go to the tab "General|Network Map" and click on the "View List" Tab or the "Computer Button" that runs "<IP Address>/device-map/clients.asp"
I guess it was just that I was trying to use traditional QoS. I got similar results with the stock firmware, so I enabled adaptive QoS in Merlin, and it's going at full speed. For traditional mode, you would need two full cores at 100% to max out a gigabit connection.What kind of cpu power would you need to run gigabit and qos in that case if you done mind me asking?
On my AC3200 the opposite has happened, never had an issue with client list in years, the first to 349 alphas saw the client list fail , having flashed the latest alpha the client list now works perfectly again.

Although the minidlna's log timestamp is still off by a few years
