Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_4 is now available

[octopus]

with the upgrade 3004.388.8_4 in 86u pro I have a serious problem with the kill switch.
and generally with openvpn tcp.

Accept DNS Configuration = exclusive
Redirect Internet traffic through tunnel = vpn-director
Killswitch = yes

some times the router after restart or pppoe disconnection the vpn client(openvpn / tcp) does not connect and the Killswitch is useless with the result that the all devices uses wan ip

Killswitch only working if vpn is on.

Think might be a bug for QoS, the download seems to apply and stick, the upload either doesnt appy or stick or both?
Same issue as previous version

AX86U Merlin and Cake QoS

So I was/am having issues with DL/UL pings all over the place, as in up to 600ms. Connection is 250/30. Setting cake qos manual to 245-DL basically fixed the DL. UL manual settings from 30 to 20 in 1Mbps increments, no change. WAN packet overhead set to internet with VLAN. Just wondering...

Can anyone test this on the AX86u pro?

I had a similar problem when I had vdsl but it was fixed by changing the wan packet overhead values. If you don't know the provider's wan packet overhead values, try setting the bandwidth limiter to about 15% less than your normal speed.

in older versions it worked great without causing any problems.... what's the reason to change something that works properly for the worse??

Another thing I noticed is that The "Internet Traffic" counter in index.asp when there is traffic via a vpnclient cannot correctly divide it into upload and download and as the download speed increases, it shows (incorrectly) that the upload speed is also increasing at the same time.

This is 250/30 fibre, I did try from 1Mbps all the way through on this and last version of merlin, DL fine, it's the upload that doesn't stick or work at any setting. Thanks for tip though.

"If you don't know the provider's wan packet overhead values," I could try to find that. thanks.

I hadn't planned on applying this upgrade, but Comcast had an unplanned outage right after this firmware was released, so I did the upgrade to my GT-AX6000 main/AP combo. Rebooted the routers, installed the update, and rebooted again. No issues during or after the upgrade.
