Those of you who want to test alpha builds are aware that no support is given.
This is for more advanced users who want to try in an early injury.
If you have problems return to the previous build and wait for regular releases.

New RT-AX86U

Just upgraded from my RT-AC87U to this new RT-AX86U. It wants to update the firmware. Current Version : 3.0.0.4.386_41535-g1caa24a The latest version : 3.0.0.4.386_45934-gb23bdac Should I upgrade to the latest firmware or a different version? Stay with Asus or switch right to Merlin? Thanks

ALPHA 1
386.4 (xx-xxx-2021)
- UPDATED: wsdd2 to 1.8.6, and rewrote Asuswrt patches for it.
- UPDATED: curl to 7.78.0.
- UPDATED: vsftpd to 3.0.5.
- CHANGED: replaced jitterentropy-rngd with haveged.
It uses more flash and memory, but it
works properly on older platforms, and is
generally less CPU intensive in regular
use. This is enabled for all router
models.
- CHANGED: No longer restart nasapps/wsdd2 on WAN start.
- REMOVED: jitterentropy-rngd (replaced with haveged)

Working fine for me on 2x AC86Us.

Been using Haveged for several years with DNSCrypt installer, Uninstalled that version of Haveged and flashed 386.4_alpha1-g8f4afe6890 on my AX88u.
All looking good

Updated to alpha dirty with no issues seen thus far.


My entropy was all over the place (down as low as 1050 a few minutes after reboot) but this was the high:

Alpha is running. Seamless upgrade so far.

 

[Sonyrolfy]

Dirty upgrade from 386.3. Maybe unrelated to this alpha? GUI unresponsive after hoovering away to a new tab in browser and willing to go back.

Hmm... I am surprised that we are seeing yet another round of development without a new GPL drop from Asus being built-in. I am aware that there have been problems with those GPL builds, but still??? It has been a while now...

 

[Clark Griswald]

Working fine for me on 2x AC86Us.

Me Too!

 

[Howard_inGA]

Did a really dirty upgrade...so far, all seems well!
The upgrade was flawless.

 

[Gar]

Working great.

 

[shabbs]

Joining in on the Alpha Fun... but only with my APs. Router staying at 386.3_2 for now.

All three APs upgraded filthily. No issues observed.

Hold up, stop the press, maybe someone should call asus and find out what is going on.

Hmm... I am surprised that we are seeing yet another round of development without a new GPL drop from Asus being built-in. I am aware that there have been problems with those GPL builds, but still??? It has been a while now...

When I visit the Asus support site for my RT-AX3000 (or its match, RT-AX58U), I no longer even see the GPL listed to download. It's been that way for 2-3 months (maybe longer, I don't visit there, that often).

I should add that I'm connecting to this forum successfully via 386.4_alpha1-g8f4afe6890. No major issues so far on dirty upgrade from 386.3_2.

Alpha 1, 386.4 installed.
Nothing broke.
