They kind of switched out, didn't they.I'm still getting the dcd errors on my AX88u.

Quick question: Is Asus implementation of Wireguard included in this version?
I have three AIMesh routers, one of which is an AX-68U. My main router is using Merlin (alpha 2), but I've always run the AIMesh units with Asus firmware. I'm having no problems with my mesh system using this scheme. Can't really see the point of Merlin on an AImesh unit.Had to revert on an AX-68U AIMesh node as it was going offline repeatedly. Reverted to stock firmware and stable so far.
I just scored myself an (almost new) RT-AX86 for $50.00 CDN reset it & upgraded it to the latest Asus STOCK Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.45898.Wireguard is not enabled in these builds because it's based on older beta code. These are just links to the old test pages, the kernel and userspace tools are not compiled in.

I didn't notice a BETA status within that software & quickly glanced at Wireguard just by checking for it.
So I'm somewhat surprised to hear you say "it's based on older beta code"
Anyways I was somewhat excited to try Wireguard for it's apparent speed increase & simplicity over OpenVPN...
But my usage-case will also require AsusWRT-Merlin.
Do you think Wireguard will be included in the NEAR future?
I understand that you are not a fortune-teller... but you are somewhat of a Wizard when it comes to firmware & most of these devices ;-)
Anyways Thanks again for the hard work & continued efforts.
All the Best

Asus is working on Wireguard in their RC3 branch (386_5xxxx). This Alpha is based on the RC2 branch (386_4xxxx) which contains early Wireguard code that predates RC3 where they are currently continuing its developmentSo I'm somewhat surprised to hear you say "it's based on older beta code"
No.Do you think Wireguard will be included in the NEAR future?
I appreciate the clarification & honesty. I guess to satisfy my curiosity... I can "potentially" play with wireguard via entware. But so much for simplicity, Mehhh Simple is soooo boring.

No.
The reason is that since Asus is still in beta stage on that code in the RC3 branch, that means they will first need to finalize it on their end (which can probably take a few weeks, if not a few months). Once that's done, I will need to merge that newer RC3 5xxxx code into my repo. And I will need to develop a web UI for it (since I cannot share the same VPN interface as Asus), plus the integration into VPN Director. So we have to wait for all of these to happen.I appreciate the clarification & honesty. I guess to satisfy my curiosity... I can "potentially" play with wireguard via entware.

I wonder if Asus' security daemon is going overboard again?I have a strange problem with 386.4-alpha2-ga85421da82.
My file in /jffs/scripts/openvpn-even dissapear from time to time. I put it back and under coming day it get erased.
I have made a script to put it back every 10min. I have a copy in /jffs/openvpn-event and that get erased too.
I renamed it to open-event and renamed it when i move it to /jffs/scripts/ directory and that working.
Have anyone else seen this behave or are I'm hacked? I doubt it.
Or something new in alpha-build get it erased.
Gotta love a Man with a Plan... it actually sounds like a fun project. Hopefully you get some help along the way. I'm Looking forward to seeing it develop, but no-rush (on my part anyway).The reason is that since Asus is still in beta stage on that code in the RC3 branch, that means they will first need to finalize it on their end (which can probably take a few weeks, if not a few months).

I might possibly start compiling with the userspace tools + kernel module enabled before that, which would at least allow third party developers to directly leverage it instead of having to install these through Entware. But a complete firmware integration is still a few months away on my end.
Wouldn't that make it a security demon ;-)I wonder if Asus' security daemon is going overboard again?
Same here. Must be a bug with the GUI cuz its obviously working.. (loil your upload is fast as my download, best connection avaiable in my area is VDSL)View attachment 37312
Is anyone else showing 100% loss when performing the internal speed test?
