[Alpha] Preview builds for Asuswrt-Merlin 380.60

[bodean]

Still running "380.58_0" without an issue for 42 days uptime.
Nothing juicy yet for a major update to .59 or the alpha for myself but thanks RMerlin for the continued work.

Ok. This thread though is about .60 Alpha....

Probably Asus trying to plug the numerous holes on the webui where people would enter all kind of non-alphanumerical characters in various fields, which would lead to a completely broken webui.

Is + a valid character? If so, why isn't Asus correctly escaping this instead of disallowing it?

Is + a valid character? If so, why isn't Asus correctly escaping this instead of disallowing it?

Because since there's little reasons why the + sign might be needed in a name field, it's always safer to limit the range of allowed characters. You never know when an unplugged security hole might open the door to an exploit. Special characters such as +&? can easily lead to security issues. Better safe than sorry.

380.60 running fine here for 32 hours, just using for a router.
forgot how to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit think there was a dropdown before maybe not.

Thanks Merlin, to those struggling try flashing official first then .60

I gotta say the fq_codel is awesome. Its so much better at capping clients vs the default scheduler. I hope it sticks around, I'm a heavy user of bandwidth limiting and it makes for much less (congestion) issues with a slower connection.

What kind of tests have you done to confirm that it had a positive impact? What type of Internet connection do you have?

Thanks for the update. I am experiencing no problems at all with IPv6 (RT-AC5300)

Thanks again...

Just installed alpha 3 on an 88u. It is running fine after install, although the first time I tried to flash it, the install gave a fail message, and then still went through the install countdown proces. When it was done, I still had version .59 loaded. The second time, it loaded no problem.

You most likely just needed to reboot the router first.

Thanks. I did not know that was a requirement, but all is well now!

Also just installed 380.60 A3 on my AC3100 all working fine including IPv6 will keep an eye on it.

 

[eddiez]

Just installed and rebooted (hard). IPV6 test are ambiguous: ipv6-test.com is unchanged.test-ipv6.com now reports that AAAA records for IPV6 are not checked (so score is 0).Will check later again.

 

[RMerlin]

For IPv6, I'm especially interested in feedback from people who get a different prefix length than a /64, or who previously had problems getting IPv6 to work at all.

 

[stambeccuccio]

I would really like to try alpha 3 version, I'm very tempted... but at the same time I'm very scared that after I'm not being able to come back if I want and this stops me...

 

[eddiez]

Did not do a factory reset after upgrading (power on/off reset though) but real time QOS traffic monitor is blank.

Update: After new login all is working. Apparently one is able to navigate through the firmware pages although the user should be logged out...

Nice thanks for that Eric ! Will try it and report esspecially about IPv6 .

What kind of tests have you done to confirm that it had a positive impact? What type of Internet connection do you have?

My connection is 25d/3u, I have 7 clients I am limiting. The main one is my nas, I have a continuous sync job for my surveillance recordings so as soon as a camera records a motion detection the nas backs it up to amazon cloud drive.

With the default scheduler I would have to limit my nas to .5mb/s upload to leave enough overhead for other devices since it wasn't consistent at maintaining that speed. It would jump all the way up to 3mb/s, then throttle, then jump up to 2.5mb/s, then throttle. I started limiting at 2mb/s but it wasnt enough because it consumed so much more than what I specified, eventually getting down to .5mb/s to be manageable. It would cause issues with streaming mainly (since we have no cable), now though. No issues with the fq_codel scheduler.

With the fq_codel scheduler I set it at 1.5mb/s and the most I have seen it fluctuate is +-.5mb/s. It mostly stays at 1.5mb/s moving +-.1mb/s slightly.

I updated the latest Alpha3 for RT-AC3200 with PPPoE connection.

1) 2.4GHz on my galaxy S7 gets so SLOW sometimes. ( signal is good ) even for LAN communication .
only router reboot fixes it until the next time.

2) I get weird problem with web pages. sometimes they just take forever to open. and if i cancel the request, and refresh the page they open immediately .

Any ideas ?
