Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.9 is now available

[ColinTaylor]

ASUS RT-AX68U fw 3004.388.9

Does the new dropbear have limitations?
I'm seeing an access problem from the Home Assistant integration:

Apr 12 09:04:13 dropbear[5255]: Child connection from 192.168.2.225:44326
Apr 12 09:04:13 dropbear[5255]: Exit before auth from <192.168.2.225:44326>: No matching algo hostkey

See RMerlin's post two places above yours.

P.S. You never followed up on your previous question: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/mdns-on-different-subnets-via-vpn.94195/post-948589

I have just installed the FW 3004.388.9 in an RT-AX88U and I have found in ADMINISTRATION - Firmware Update Tab the following option that I thought does not apply for RMerlin firmware:

I have not accepted the second EULA that has appeared the first time I have accessed to the GUI, but if I finally accept, does this mean that the firmware will be updated automatically?.

Another cosmetic change I have noted is related to the network map:

The space for the clients name seems shorter and the space for the client IP address seems wider than before (maybe is this the reason why some people has overwritten names?).

"Security updates" and not firmware updates, they are two different things.

Firmware updates aren't automated on Merlin firmware, at least without AMTM add-ons.

OK, so then, is it related only to the Tendmicro stuff?. I have Ai Protection ON, so I do not understand to which security it applies ...

Asus' security daemon (asd) process I believe. More info here:

What is "asd" process?

Hi guys, I am wondering what is the "asd" process, which produces the following log in /jffs/asd.log: 1525496708[register_feature] chknvram registered 1525496708[register_feature] misc registered 1525496708[init] Load existing signature files. 1525496708[update_signature_in_feature] Update sig...

Thank you for pointing me to this information!

My guess is that the name is too long to fit within the field, and there`s no vertical space to add a second line, so it wraps on top of itself.

I was the first to post this issue with 388.9. None of my devices have changed names. There are no new devices. I was on 388.8_4 and all was fine. I upgraded to .9 and the issue appeared. This isn't a one off problem since a number of others have reported the same issue now as well.

Thanks, I think the problem is this: "Disable SHA-1 algorithms by default". I wrote to the author of the Home Assistant integration about the problem, but I haven't found yet how to temporarily enable SHA-1.
