[Alpha] 386.2

[heysoundude]

Alpha2 but I think it's been like this since 386 it's just now that I actually see it. My provider usually is reliable but this time not.

I'm just going to leave this here:

Tunnel Server Status

and maybe
ipv6.he.net <- their free "certification" might be worthwhile (they give you something like 5 tunnels just for successfully completing a level of the "course")

 

[bluepoint]

Are there no further update attempts later by watchdog (within 30 seconds or so)? You're only showing 16 seconds of the syslog, so more log info would be helpful.

No later watchdog attempts. I have to chop the bottom as they are all wireless logs and it will be too many to sanitize.

I was hoping Cake and/or the new GPL would solve the irregular short network disconnects on my MacBook Pro (less than 2 meters away from the router...), but unfortunately not: happened again this morning.

(I have had this with the last few 384 builds and all 386 builds I tried - also after a full reset of nvram/settings)

 

[XIII]

I'm also surprised by the reported DL/UL speeds: 16/15, where I pay for 250/25 (and most other speed tests report 200/25)

Actually all tests report at most 20 down (instead of 200+) since installing Alpha 2...

(might be coincidence)

 

[juched]

I was hoping it would address the buggy protocol messaging when Guest Network is setup without Intranet access, but it is still there on my AX88U. However, it is very stable for me otherwise, so I live with the log spam.

I still seeing a crash on boot (sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries to successfully boot) in mcpd because of the mcast messages from the google home devices in the house.

These are spanning-tree logs, so every time you connect a network device, the switch port goes through listening and learning states before starting to forward traffic. It's safe to disable spanning tree as long as you don't have a downstream switch connected by redundant links. Frequent spanning-tree port negotiations might be triggered by bad cabling, so make sure everything is fine at that level.

Actually all tests report at most 20 down (instead of 200+) since installing Alpha 2...

(might be coincidence)

Wow, difference is huge on AC86u:

* Cake QOS enabled: 20 Mbs down / 20 Mbp up
* Cake QOS disabled: 250 Mbs down / 25 Mbs up (which I what I pay for)

(I chose cable and entered 95% of 250/25 in the router settings)

After re-enabling QOS my router lost internet connectivity and I had to reboot.

 

[wonderiuy]

Wow, if 20 Mbs down / 20 Mbp up is the max throughput available with AC68U which is dual core 1.8Ghz, better forget about Cake QOS on actual and future internet connections

 

[underdose]

Disable cake from the UI, install CakeQoS from here and try again to see if that works for you. Also, you can display detailed information about your cake settings from CakeQoS menu (In terminal: cake-qos, 3, 3) and share it here or in the script's thread.

I have used that in the past; DL speed was way better back then.

 

[dave14305]

I have used that in the past; DL speed was way better back then.

I’m getting 240 Mb down with alpha 2 and Cake on the 86U. So it’s possible. Maybe you have competing devices limiting your per-device bandwidth.

I use Ethernet with VLAN option and Auto on a 200/200 connection (not sure what would be the best yet). A AX88U though.
No bad speeds here

 

[kernol]

My 2 x RT-AX86U - like 386.2_A2 a LOT ... ... everything working well - and appreciate all the security patches that came with latest stock Asus GPL.

 

[swejuggalo]

I had issues with this back on 386.1 betas, I have wiped and setup fresh since then.

Error : NTP failed to sync after 5 minutes
And then most of my scripts refuse to start (listed in my signature, as well as my router model)

But it has returned with these 2 last builds of the alpha. I have to restore JFFS to recover from it. But even then it is a hit and miss on when and if it solves itself (and then it stays solved until a possible next upgrade).
I've read a few pages here and it does not seem to be mentioned. So I assume it does not happen for many users.

I'll search some more about it and see what I can find... But if someone has an idea, let me know.

 

[brummygit]

I've only swapped to Alpha 2 today after a full reset & reconfigure, but my RT-AX88U main router with 2 RT-AX86U nodes is really flying. It's early days but the performance of CAKE baked-in seems snappier than the old script. Additionally I've been able to remove my USB stick for now.

I'm also using Guest Network 1 on 2.4Ghz with intranet access disabled, distributed to all my mesh nodes, and so far the 1 device I've moved to it seems to be working well and I'm not seeing spurious log entries

 

[RMerlin]

Wow, difference is huge on AC86u:

* Cake QOS enabled: 20 Mbs down / 20 Mbp up
* Cake QOS disabled: 250 Mbs down / 25 Mbs up (which I what I pay for)

After re-enabling QOS my router lost internet connectivity and I had to reboot.

Something is wrong with your setup. That router should have no trouble hitting 250 Mbps.

 

[saleanddeki]

RT-AX56U, 386.2_alpha2, everything is ok.
Thanks RMerlin

 

[Matthew Patrick]

I saw a new GPL merge on alpha 2. Does it apply to the AC86U units too??

Anyone using alpha 2 on AC86U, any bugs so far?
