Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.3 is now available for WIfi 7 devices

[Lucifinil_Chen]

After updating the firmware on my BE 98 Pro, it started recognizing the HomePod as if it were physically connected.

And the last digit of the HomePod’s MAC address is also different.

Try using MerlinAU to upgrade (install using amtm) — I have been able to upgrade other routers that otherwise refused to update. @ExtremeFiretop and @Martinski have created a masterpiece!

Sadly no luck I even tried forcing the update using recovery mode but that just puts the pro into a bootloop tried even changing to default firmware and it does the same so just stuck on 3006.102.2_2

If even Recovery Mode is causing issues such as a boot loop then I would double check that you really have a GT-BE98_PRO and not a GT-BE98.

It’s definitely a GT-BE98_PRO

It’s definitely a GT-BE98_PRO

Have you tried restoring the BE 98 Pro to factory settings by holding down the reset button on the device?

You can try:
1、Update the router's official firmware to the latest version.
2、Before installing the Merlin firmware, perform a factory reset to ensure the router is in a clean state. This can be done by holding down the reset button on the back of the router for about 10 seconds.
3、Try using different browsers (such as Chrome or Firefox) to upload the firmware. You can also clear the current browser's cache and cookies before attempting the upgrade again.

I’ve tried this as well last night but still no luck, gonna wait a while and try again

My GT-BE98 Pro is refusing to upgrade for some reason I’ve factory reset and tried but it keeps coming up as 3006.102.2_2 and I’ve also set the ram setting to bypass downgrade blocking

Did you commit the change after entering your downgrade exception?

Just wanted to quickly stop by and kindly ask if you could potentially send logs from a regular update (not recovery)?
System logs showing the update process would be incredibly valuable in situations like this, and may give a hint as to what the cause of friction is.

Waiting for 3006 AsusWRT Merlin for AX86U Pro

It don't look like it's going to be supported with 3.0.0.6 from Merlin. He has shown zero interest in supporting the AX models with the newer code branch. He just keeps doing more of the same 3.0.0.4.

He has stated many times that there is nothing he can do about Merlin 3006 for AX Pro until ASUS gives him binaries for those devices (which to my knowledge has yet to happen).

He can only work with what GPL's Asus provides him. (Link)

This has always been the case, each model always had its own separate GPL. It's impossible to share a GPL for more than one model, as each GPL contains precompiled pieces that only work for one specific device.

Will send them as soon as I can try the process again

I'm not the one with issues. I think you meant to tag @rcfw

Also if you read the initial post above, it sounds like they said they already tried that.

Hello
Many thanks for your work, hope BQ16Pro will be supported soon too ^_^

Hi,
I've updated a RT-BE88U to this firmware and I'm having a problem if I use a Wireguard client.
I'm not sure if here is the place to post this.
The problem is I lose internet access from any LAN device if I reboot the router with the Wireguard client connected. The access through VPN works without problem. The Internet access from router works also.
I'm able to recover Internet access if I enable o disable the Enable DoS protection, for example. But if I reboot the router I lose again Internet access from LAN devices.


Details:
Firstly, I've updated with no restore to factory defaults, keeping the settings and the problem has shown up.
Secondly, due to this problem, I've reflashed the firmware (last version again), restored to factory defaults and reconfigure the router manually, avoiding restore with backup file, but the problem remains.

Wireguard client:

interface: wgc1
  public key: ESuRxg7qrQ33O+f8ZNvUq6lEhu25Yrx4/La/x+2cJWQ=
  private key: (hidden)
  listening port: 41800

peer: rRCPBi8gzsnIVMpMIytNShJGdMFJbzX/X9yyMJRaF2U=
  preshared key: (hidden)
  endpoint: SERVERIP:PORT
  allowed ips: 0.0.0.0/0
  latest handshake: 7 seconds ago. (sec:7)
  transfer: 184 B received, 520 B sent
  persistent keepalive: every 25 seconds

VPN Director:

According to this, only traffic to these network o that IP would be sent through VPN. Otherwise it would use WAN.

If I reboot the router:

• From a desktop I can reach other LAN through VPN:

$ traceroute -n 192.168.60.11
traceroute to 192.168.60.11 (192.168.60.11), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

 3  192.168.60.11  131.645 ms  131.583 ms  131.519 ms

• From a desktop I can't reach any other network:

traceroute to 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

What could be happening? Why do I lose Internet access from LAN devices when I reboot the router, but when I modify DoS protection or even disable/enable Firewall the problem disappears until the next reboot?
This behavior worries me in case the router reboots and I don't notice.

He has stated many times that there is nothing he can do about Merlin 3006 for AX Pro until ASUS gives him binaries for those devices

What Merlin said was, He has never asked Asus for 3.0.0.6 GPL for supported AX devices. That sums it up pretty well.

With the 3006.102.3 Merlin firmware on my RT-BE88U, I am still having the same issue that I had with the initial 3006.102.2 beta.

I cannot get IPv6 working with Connection Type set to 'Native' and Interface set to 'PPP':

Everything else is working fine using IPv4.
I am using BT FTTP in the UK and my WAN Connection Type is set to PPPoE.

BT issue a dynamic /56 prefix.

The IPv6 functionality worked fine with the latest stock firmware.

If it is relevant, I am using the 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN1 port as my WAN port:

I created a system log (attached) by disabling IPv6, clearing the system log and then re-enabling IPv6 with the settings seen above.
