Installed via a dirty upgrade on my AX88U from 388.3. No issues found yet but I have not analyzed loge as some have. Went very smooth and not sure if it’s my imagination but the WIFI seems to be faster on the 5GHZ side after some tests. Love the new WIFI log page with detailed radio information.

Started having issue where client are connected but no internet connectivity. after reboot it works for few hours than again webpages not being loaded. I will reset the modem again and do clean install to see how it goes.
also there is client showing up with name dhcpcd-5 2 12 Linux-4 4 185 aar which I can't figureout what it is. amazone stick is connected as a different client as I checked the MAC address and I don't have any other amazone devices.
edit note: I am referring to beta 1 here.
just upgraded to beta 2 and will report if had similar issues. dirty upgrade

I thought it'd be interesting to have a look at WiFi Radar and use the "Save Database to File" option. Only this threw up a script error on the router and all the router WEBUI page entry fields became filled with garbage. Initially thinking this was an issue on my laptop I rebooted the laptop and switched to accessing the router WEBUI through a pi connected to the TV - which also showed all that garbage (and no reboot button). SSH into the router and "reboot" from the command line. I really thought this could have been a "full reset" worthy incident and possibly even "recovery level", but after a reboot all is fine.
I'm assuming this is not Merlin beta firmware related, hence keeping it out of that thread, and I looked for similar reported issues and can't find them, so it's here!
Is anyone else brave enough to see if this is a general fault or just a freak that hit me?
If it is a general fault, I guess it's one that would need reporting to Asus, and is probably not going to be a high enough priority to get fixed anytime soon!

Upgraded from one year old 386.7_2 version, and it worked without factory reset. Did factory reset anyway.
Was VERY pleasantly surprised to see router remembers port forwards and OpenVPN server settings! I'm guessing it's stored in JFFS partition which I restored after factory reset.
Minor issue I have is when connected to VPN server on router, I cannot access Internet but can access LAN (yes, I have settings on accessing both LAN and Internet), but I need to fiddle with that some more. There were probably bigger changes from 386.7 -> 388.4 and I need to recreate server from scratch, not from JFFS backup.
Good job @RMerlin and thank you.

I had 2 devices reporting this kind of string. One was an ecobee thermostat and the other an Amazon Echo.
The ecobee had a staric IP address (via YazDHCP) and the Echo dynamic.
I took the MAC address and went to any device I hadn’t assigned a static to. Found those!

Not yet. 
As a matter of fact, those models are the recommended products from Asus for the models that are EOL, as of today.

what model router are you using? From what version did you upgrade from (and was it factory or Merlin)? All working flawless on my AX88U pro.
