Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 Beta is now available

But what was the solution, can you tell me that. I have tried many thing. I see this in the logs:

Apr 24 07:33:32 dnsmasq[1083746]: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.52.1: Address already in use
Apr 24 07:33:32 dnsmasq[1083746]: FAILED to start up
Apr 24 07:33:37 dnsmasq[1084650]: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.52.1: Address already in use
Apr 24 07:33:37 dnsmasq[1084650]: FAILED to start up

I use only AGH and Skynet on the default set up. In the old firmware the guest SSIDs works perfectly on the new they won't work. The clients can't connect anymore. For now I went back to the 8_4.

This is what i was trying to achieve when enabling MLO on my RT-BE92U but enabling MLO causes the router to prompt that the 2.4Ghz radio needs to be enabled also in order for MLO to be enabled. I don't use 2.4Ghz and only 5Ghz/6Ghz bands. I previously had a TP-Link BE-550 (BE9300) router and it allowed MLO to be enabled only on 5Ghz/6Ghz bands while keeping 2.4Ghz off, would be good if this was an option also on RT-BE92U but it appears it's all or nothing. I contacted Asus with a suggestion to allow the option for 5Ghz/6Ghz only but haven't heard back. Maybe it's something Broadcom need to add support for in the driver/firmware, i am not sure.

Prob the wrong thread, but can I ask why you swapped from the BE550 to the BE92U ?

For me it was a toss up between the 2, but at the time the BE92U was cheaper.

I wasn't a fan of having to sign up for a subscription at extra expense for the Homeshield features etc. Also i upgraded my TrueNAS Scale system with a 10G NIC a few months after the BE550 purchase so wanted a similar spec'd router with a 10G port which the RT-BE92U had and the BE550 didn't.

The AdguardHome installer add-on needs to be adapted for the new firmware. Better to create a post in the Addons forum.

Ahh yes I forgot about the BE550 not having that 10G wan, that did also play a part in my decision, but it was mostly the fact the BE92U was much cheaper at the time.

Wondering if 3006 is mature enough to update or if I should stay on 3004 for next 6 months or so. What's major in 3006 that may push someone to update?

For me, the differences I spotted are attached:
* IPs and MACs are hidden in the images. Not to be considered bugs in the Beta. I havent't experienced any problems with Beta1

Guest Network Pro - Added
Client List - A visual makeover
Smart Connect Rule - Target Band showing multiple drop-downs
VLAN - Added
Internet Speed - Drop-down to select the Interface for testing (eg. WAN or VPN)

Don’t use the MLO tab in the GUI go to Network and create the MLO network manually then you will have the option to unselect 2.4Ghz.

Talk about security. You can’t even know your password now. I didn’t confirm this bug but it’s too funny, so much irony.

Yes I did, you can find the whole story within this thread.

I found this thread yesterday and began reading 3 first pages then didn't want to read all 23 so I went back to page 1 to quote/ask you. As for upgrading I'll wait for at least the next update.

Can't confirm this bug. Everything's as expected in my setup.
