Still my bootloader was on 1.0.1.6. Then I flashed ASUS 3626 and the bootloader went to version 1.0.2.0 and after that I re-uploaded the 378.50b2. With the new bootloader seems I've fixed the problems described earlier, excepting the MAC Adress selection based on band
I had already done that, it was a FYI to merlin.

378.50 Beta 2 (31-Jan-2015)
- CHANGED: Moved the AC68U CFE update process to the same location
as in GPL 3626 to see if it works more consistently.
After the upgrade, CFE still shows 1.0.1.1
- FIXED: vsftpd wouldn't start if you had IPv6 enabled.
Indeed, no issues with that anymore.

No need to revert back to defaults - upgraded using this file:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/RT-AC68U/FW_RT_AC68U_30043783873.zip
and then move back to Merlin firmware.

Regarding nmbd and smbd failing to start on my AC87U, I looked at the running processes on my AC66U and tried to start them manually:
And now the services start OK. Some kind of race condition during boot perhaps?
Code:
/usr/sbin/smbd -D -s /etc/smb.conf
nmbd -D -s /etc/smb.confAnd now the services start OK. Some kind of race condition during boot perhaps?

Hi there.
Wait, what? I'm running 376.49_5 do I need to do a factory Reset before installing 378.50 beta 2?
Still having custom dns issues...
So, my no-ip address was working under beta1 but my afraid.org host wasn't.
installed beta2 & configured custon ddns setup to run my afraid.org script. as with beta1 the page hangs waiting for a response from the ddns-start script which never seems to run!
script is chmod 777 so should be readable to all...
manually running the script causes the DDNS page to respond with "registration successful" popup.
so, navigate back to home page and hostname appears there okay. try to navigate to said hostame from my phone, doesnt work. disable wifi so using cell coverage, page loads fine!!
RT-AC66U, although i would assume DDNS code common across devices
syslog for relevant events :

Yes, if you are coming from anything other than 378.50 Beta 1, you should do a factory reset. Read the Beta 1 thread to see all the other changes:

My N66 is at 1.0.1.4. The N66 Boatloader is not updated as part of this release.

If I do a Save Setting can I restore that after I do that firmware upgrade? (on a RTN 66U)
You should be able to use the utility described in the thread below to save your settings, and then restore them after the upgrade. I had a new router, so I ended up manually moving configuration info over from a router that was running different firmware.

Will the 'Save Setting' under Administration work, or do I have to use the one in the link?
Merlin's documentation suggests that you should not just use the Save Settings button on the Administration menu.
