Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 is out

[primitivo]

No problems for me, I get the max my ISP can give me in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

Your signature says you are using 378.50_0, so just to confirm: do you have this problem on 378.51?

Just forgot to change the signature, I am using 378.51 for a while now.

Hi RMerlin,
I'm now testing your firmware RT-AC87U_3.0.0.4_378.51_newqtn
So far so good

Only thing i notice was this line in the TOOLS tab.
HW acceleration Disabled - incompatible with:
But you already answered that, so maybe not much to worry about.

That happens if you disabled the feature that was incompatible with it, but didn't reboot the router afterward. I don't systematically reboot the router in those scenarios since a reboot is always disruptive for the network, and the router can still work properly without CTF getting immediately re-enabled.

3 hours uptime, everything ok here

There's a bug with AiProtection - Web & Apps filters. Streaming and Entertainment: "Games" and "Internet Radio and TV" is always checked together automatically. I can't apply one without the other getting checked.

I factory reset 378.51 after upgrading from 378.50. I don't think this problem was in 378.50.

The Traffic Analyzer is buggy. It doesn't list all clients correctly when you select a date.

Edit: This strange I went back to FW 378.50 and Streaming and Entertainment still doesn't save properly.

Has anyone noticed excessive RAM usage by the miniDLNA server in 378.51 and 378.50? On my system (AC68R) it is using around 100MB of RAM for about 500 mp3 files on the USB3 drive, which seems excessive to me considering the media server database is stored on disk. The problem I am running into is that the LAN crashes when I have heavy traffic, either for a torrent download or a large file copy to the USB3 drive. I am suspecting that this is due to the router running out of RAM space. So I am trying to figure out whether the fact that JFFS is enabled by default in .50 and beyond has pushed the RAM use to the limit or whether something changed in the miniDLNA code to increase its usage of RAM.

Since upgrading to .51 the internet LED on my AC66U turns off from time to time, stays off and then at some point turns on again. The network (and internet) are working fine even when the LED is off.

I wonder what could cause that? Haven't noticed any other issues.

Hi,

Are you using AC87U, if so. Try out the "new" RMerlin firmware in the Experimental folder http://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/download
3.0.0.4.378.51_newqtn

RT-AC87U owners:

I don't have the newest GPL code from Asus yet, however I was able to extract the Quantenna firmware from their recent beta release (378_4608) and to transplant it on top of 378.51. This updated Quantenna environment included at least one change related to the br0 bridge, which might resolve the br0 loop errors (I just don't know yet if an additional fix is required on the Broadcom side - I'll know once I get my hands on the newer GPL).

In any case, so far my syslog seems to be fairly quiet on that front after running this newer Quantenna build for a few days, so I decided to upload an Experimental build of it (labeled 378_51-newqtn).

Please give it a shot.

Make sure you do a factory reset. And manually add all your settings.

What I do everytime I gonna install new firmware is to do a factory reset. (push&hold the reset button on the back of the router for for 5 - 10 sec to the power led is blinking) Then install the firmware, when finish, reboot the router ,after boot up i do again a factory reset. Then boot up and insert all your settings.

I am using RMerlin firmware on AC87R and of course version is 378.51. I have done a factory reset and still have thoes problems... Anyone have the same problems like me???

This indicate that you have a wireless device that was previously connected to a network that used the 192.168.11.0 subnet, while your home network is on 192.168.1.0. This is normal, and can be ignored. This is quite frequent with phones and tablets that you use in multiple locations. In this case, this is an Apple device, I bet it's probably an iPhone.

How many 378.51 on Download Page? I just see 378.51_0 and can you give me a link to 378.51_newqtn?

Thanks RMerlin. How about:
Mar 12 19:42:31 kernel: br0: received packet on vlan1 with own address as source address
and: Mar 12 20:05:43 kernel: net_ratelimit: 30 callbacks suppressed

That is RMerlin link to his downloads, you will found the RT-AC87U folder there and inside that folder you will found the Experimental folder

which might resolve the br0 loop errors: kernel: br0: received packet on vlan1 with own address as source address

My RT-AC87U have been running for over 8 hours now, i haven't seen kernel: br0: received packet on vlan1 with own address as source address yet, so for so good

Thanks so much!!! I will try it right now!!!

Remember to do a factory reset (push&hold the reset button on your router on the back. To the power led is blinking)
This is what I always do before updating new firmware :

- Factory reset (push&hold the reset button on your router on the back. To the power led is blinking)
- Install new firmware
- Reboot router
- Boot up
- Factory reset again
- Boot up
- Then manually insert all your settings you used to do. Do not restore from previous versions.

I know this is the hard way, but I believe is the best way

OMG... I restored my Setting from CFG file... Fine, just factory reset again and go setting manually...
