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

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

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?

nvram set DOWNGRADE_CHECK_PASS=1
nvram commit

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

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

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

Routes:

1.1.1.1 from 192.168.50.3 via MYGATEWAY dev eth0
    cache iif br0

If for example I enable (or disable) DoS protection (no reboot) I can reach any Internet network from any LAN device. But the routes remain the same:
Code:
# ip rule
0:    from all lookup local
20:    from all lookup 8437
11210:    from all to 192.168.60.0/24 lookup wgc1
11211:    from all to 54.242.237.204 lookup wgc1
32766:    from all lookup main
32767:    from all lookup default
Code:
# ip route show table wgc1
0.0.0.0/1 dev wgc1 scope link
10.60.0.1 dev wgc1 scope link
SERVERIP via MYGATEWAY dev eth0
128.0.0.0/1 dev wgc1 scope link
Code:
# ip route show table main
default via MYGATEWAY dev eth0
76.76.2.0 via MYGATEWAY dev eth0 metric 1
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
MYSUBNET/MASK dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src MYIP
MYGATEWAY dev eth0 proto kernel scope link
192.168.50.0/24 dev br0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.50.1
192.168.52.0/24 dev br55 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.52.1
194.242.2.2 via MYGATEWAY dev eth0 metric 1
239.0.0.0/8 dev br0 scope link
Code:
# ip route get 1.1.1.1 from 192.168.50.3 iif br0
1.1.1.1 from 192.168.50.3 via MYGATEWAY dev eth0
    cache iif br0

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.

Regards
