Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 beta is now available

[RMerlin]

Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 beta 1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 devices.

Changes since last release:

  - NOTE: RT-AX56U is exceptionally included in this release.

  - NEW: IGD2 support for UPNP/PCP.  This will allow IPv6 pinhole
         support for clients.  It must be enabled on the WAN
         page.  Existing pinholes will be listed on the
         System Log -> IPV6 page.

         Note that IGDv2 has compatibility issues with various
         clients that do not properly follow the standard.
  - UPDATED: Openvpn to 2.6.10.
  - UPDATED: TOR to 0.4.8.10.
  - UPDATED: wsdd2 to 2023-12-21 snapshot.
  - UPDATED: miniupnpd to 2.3.6.
  - UPDATED: wireguard kernel to v1.0.20220627.
  - UPDATED: wireguard tools to 2023-08-04 snapshot.
  - UPDATED: dropbear to 2024.84.
  - CHANGED: Hardcoded location of the CA bundle in inadyn, so it
             no longer needs to be manually defined in custom
             configurations.
  - CHANGED: Re-designed Tools->Sysinfo page, adding graphs
             and removing useless content.
  - CHANGED: Updated free memory report on networkmap to also
             consider reclaimable memory as being free (kjbracey)
  - CHANGED: "Prevent client auto DoH" will also prevent the use of
             Apple's iCloud Private Relay.
  - CHANGED: NAT Passthrough page - removed the "Enabled + NAT
             Helper" option as the firewall no longer blocks
             traffic when set to disabled.  This is back to the
             former behaviour, where this setting only controls
             whether or not to load the NAT helper.  You might
             need to readjust that setting if you had previously
             changed it.
  - CHANGED: SIP, RTSP and H323 ALG (NAT helpers) are now
             disabled by default, as these legacy features tend
             to create issues with modern VoIP setups.
             This change will only apply to people doing a
             factory default reset of their router.
  - FIXED: Concurrent cronjob changes through cru could cause
           collisions, leading to missing jobs (dave14305)
  - FIXED: crond would not use the new timezone if it got changed.
  - FIXED: MiniDLNA web interface could only be accessed through an
           IP address (regression in 3004.388.6).
  - FIXED: CVE-2023-5678 & CVE-2024-0727 in openssl (backport from
           Ubuntu by RSDNTWK)
  - FIXED: Long lists on System Log -> Connections tab could result
           in a timeout (Sani Huttunen)
  - REMOVED: Temperature page (charts are now part of the redesigned
             Tools->Sysinfo page).

Things requiring particular testing:

• Wireguard
• IGDv2. Make sure you read the changelog first.
• New Sysinfo page
• WSDD device discovery

@RMerlin did you end up fixing the bug or reverting the kernel module on the RT-AX58U? Just curious.

“
I did some research, but don't have time to test a possible fix at the moment. Worst case scenario these two models (one of which is EOL anyway) will be reverted back to the previous kernel module.

The kernel module hasn't been updated since 2022 by its developer. “
