I have upgraded from 376.45, did factory reset and installed Astrill via telnet (wget command). Since then there are no graphic icons next menu item under "general".
I tried to reinstall everything but it is the same.
I'll fix this once stable version is available. Please use previous stable version instead. Beta versions may contain various bugs and we do not recommend them, therefore we will not be fixing Astrill bugs in beta versions either.
NOTE: resetting to factory default after flashing is
strongly recommended for the following cases:
- Updating from a firmware version that is more than 3 releases older
- Switching from a Tomato/DD-WRT/OpenWRT firmware
No issues, I'm getting 930 Mbps on speedtest.net with 378.50.
Did you reset and reconfigure the settings after the upgrade as suggested?
dd-wrt and tomato don't have NAT Acceleration, you won't be getting much in the terms of speed because of this.
Thank you Merlin for your dedication and enormous effort you're putting into these builds.
So I understood I need to do Factory Defaults reset and reconfigure my RT-AC68U manually.
I am currently on RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_376.49_6_cfeupd, so what would be proper update procedure in my case?
Update to 378.50_0 before I do factory reset or should I do factory reset now while still on 376.49_6_cfeupd, and then update my router with new firmware, and reconfigure all settings manually?
Just want to make sure I am not "destroying" anything here on my end
Thanks and have a wonderful evening everybody!
EDIT: I just found this inside Merlin's text file that was in the firmware ZIP file:
I am sure second point does not apply to my case, nor the first one (I believe), but I still think it would be good to do factory reset.
So I understood, I have to proceed with updating my firmware to the new version, and after it's completed, do a factory reset, configure my router and all the settings manually. I am correct?

I've been really loving the .50 betas, and so far this final is just fine.
You've really made my 87 into a reliable workhorse. Never had better wireless coverage and the throughout on 4 servers out in the garage is more than I could ever expect (using an RT-N66u with John's fork as a bridge).
You are appreciated.
I have notified them that it is now out of beta but no reply yet.
I urge everyone who is using the Astrill app to submit a support ticket to get this fixed.
All the wifi credit should actually go to Asus. I'm just reusing their drivers, chances are the newer version I'm using is better than their last public release.
Merlin said this in post #1 :
a factory default reset is required, followed by a manual reconfiguration of your settings.
This is not required if you were already running the 378.50 betas.
So if you were not running a 50 beta then you indeed need to factory reset after you install the new version.

Thank you for your answer, but my question wasn't weather I need to perform factory reset or not... I know I have to and even if I didn't have, it's OK if I do it. It would just require me inputting all the settings manually once again, but that's OK.

I had to do factory reset after updating it from Beta 1. The internet connection just didn't work. Local lan did work though.
I see this in the release notes -
NEW: Merged with Asus GPL 378_4129 code.
What changes are in 4129?
Thanks
