Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

[bonk1990]

I tried out the rc2-7 build on the RT-AX58U and also found that it worked pretty OK. I did not run it for weeks and weeks or anything because it doesn't have the @RMerlin features that I depend on. I just kicked the tires for part of a day and the main features I use seemed to work. I did a clean flash.

I tried out the rc2-7 build on the RT-AC88U and couldn't add any of my Lyra's (factory reset first).

Maybe below is right and AC88U has more bugs:

I think you're beta tester number 3, maybe 4, to say they cannot get the system working with an RT AC88U router and beta firmware. I'm back to being convinced there is a device specific bug to that model. The "disable Ethernet backhaul" lured me into a false sense of hope, as that did get me farther down the road towards a working system, but that was only part of the problem.

Hi All,
Update status.

The RT-AC68U 386 rc2 formal firmware RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_386_40558-gc48f410.trx is in process and it will appear on support site tomorrow.
The next formal release model is RT-AX88U.

RT-AX55 update fail
--> The firmware is too big. We will reduce the size in the next build.

Ethernet backhaul and switch problem.
-->It should be a UI bug. Please try the workaround (1) enable the ethernet backhaul model in AiMesh --> system settings (2) set connection priority for each node to Ethernet first.

Any ETA for RT-AX86U?

It is enabling the 'ethernet backhaul mode' that causes the problem. I thought the fix was to disable it and enable 'ethernet first' or '1G WAN first' instead.
Please can you clarify.

I think the problem with that is my ax88u main unit with two xt8 nodes i don't have the 5G-2 frequency free and i am not able to connect with WiFi 6 to ax88 or xt8 nodes.

Dear AsusWRT_2020,

can you share what is the latest difference in regards to fixes/ changes between the formal new firmware for RT-AC68U and the last rc2-7 (40577) is? Just looking at the number 40558 vs 40577 I am curios, whether from the last rc2-7 for RT-AC68U has been removed?

Thanks, Sebastian

I would be afraid to try out the next update. Over a week with ZERO issues. I will let you guys try it out

And you call yourself a 'beta tester'.

Im actually going to wait until the weekend, as my wife works from home and needs internet, with no new issues.

Is this workaround likely to work for the RT-AC66U B1 as node or should I hold fire?

Thanks.

Any updates for the RT-AC88U? So far there's 4 (maybe 5) us who have tried this beta firmware with that model, and to my knowledge nobody has a working system when that model is involved.

This workaround did not work for me

Okay, thanks for the tip-off. I'll sit-tight and test it on a future release. Fingers-crossed.

Anyone getting a blank page on the support site for the RT-AC68U?

Hi,

Any estimation for the .386 update for AX11000?

Thanks

Well with asus, sometimes days... weeks... or potentially months... let us hope they don't get distracted halfway through the release process. We may even see a new firmware update to the rtac68u before long....

 

[banger]

Nope.

I meant from the beta and release firmware at the bottom of the page, Manual and Utility Links to blank page.

I understand now... barely. Yes, the Support links to Asus' website at the bottom of the router webUI seem to be broken:

I have been running rc7 on Ax86u for past week or so. Everything has been good so far except:
I see a lot of kernel entries in my system log such as: kernel: CONSOLE: 192017.857 txrep:802.1x
And many others.

is this normal? Is it because it’s a beta version, hence we can see the kernel stuff on the log or is there something genuinely wrong? All the devices are working fine - no issues.

second, today evening asus app on ios updated to 1.0.0.6.2. After the update, speedtest disappeared from the qos. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app but still cant see it. If i logon to web, i can speedtest under qos. Can anyone share their experience please?

thanks
