Asuswrt-Merlin 378.51 is out

[sbailey4]

Might have helped here: with 51 Beta 1 I have not experienced the issue I had with 378.50 so far, so I will definitely install 51 now.

What issue was that? I thought 378.50 was pretty solid on AC66 but seems once in a while on .50 wireless would slow to a crawl and wireless client reset would get it back working. Seems .51b1 definitely made for a more consistent wireless connection as far as speed. Been running it since release with no reboots and speeds and connectivity remained consistent.

Wirelessly streaming SG-1 episodes for 2 hours for the kids on 378.51 via RT-AC66U + Universal Media Server+PS3 console and not one hiccup. Rock solid and thank you Merlin for the fantastic logs too!

Working great here on N66U, love the new wireless log display.

But why does the RX column always report "??" for Rx rate on all my 2.4GHz devices?

 

[VANT]

i confirm this. I also have ?? for Rx Rate

 

[RMerlin]

Already running on 378.51. Thanks for the hard work.
Is it just on my router or did I just found a tiny bug?
Traffic Analyzer is showing a great traffic graph. After selecting todays date again under "Last date", the graphic is changed. Todays graphic is only shown, selecting date+1 (or tommorow if you like).

There's a lot of bugs left in that page. Switching between various display seems to randomly end up showing the wrong page. Since that page is still a work-in-progress from Asus (so far they only enabled it on the RT-AC3200), we'll have to wait for them to fully complete their work on it. But since it works reasonably well (enough to be useful), I decided to include it by default on all DPI-enabled builds now.

But why does the RX column always report "??" for Rx rate on all my 2.4GHz devices?

For some reason, the wireless driver does not report both rates in certain cases. When that happens, I display "??" rather than display 0.

Hello!

I run 370.51 beta release (as I'm one the pity Beeline users, so I'was a bit tired with 370.50).

Am I right or is it something else? Maybe it's a glitch of the beta version?

One more question bothers me - Is there a way to include support for extend command in net-snmpd compiled in the firmeware?
It looks like the version in firmware is newer than in entware, but despite optware has extend, it has a memory leak too

I use it to get some temperature readings and connections stiatistics through the snmp protocol. So I want to put in snmpd.conf something like:

extend temp24 /bin/sh /opt/usr/local/bin/temp.sh 24
extend temp50 /bin/sh /opt/usr/local/bin/temp.sh 50
extend nf_count /bin/sh /opt/usr/local/bin/connections.sh count
extend nf_max /bin/sh /opt/usr/local/bin/connections.sh max
extend nf_active /bin/sh /opt/usr/local/bin/connections.sh active

The Apps analysis still show all traffic as General for me but the user eaz said that his is showing up. This problem is caused by Trend Micro?

I have the AiProtection options on.

 

[tsunami2311]

update from 376.49-5 to this and all looks good and seem to running good, my d/l speed look like they might droped some but i will just chalk that up to the nature of the speedtest server cause everthing else is fine as far as i can tell

I had that issue for a few weeks until I ran a few commands while troubleshooting something. I'm not sure which of these commands did resolve the issue for me, so give it a try.

nvram unset bwdpi_sig_ver
nvram unset bwdpi_rsa_check
nvram unset bwdpi_dpi_ver
nvram commit
service stop_wrs_force
service start_wrs

Either it's a mismatch in engine/sig version, or there was a problem with the rsa-signed version of the rules file.

I updated my firmware to this version but in Administrator> Firmaware Upgrade i have still Signature Version 1.016 not 1.030. Why ?


And i have temp CPU 81*C. Are you also temp CPU about 80*C ?


And Merlin i have one suggestion. Maybe we can add green icon to VPN about icon WIFI. It icon will be show status tahta VPN server is running or this icon show that some user is connected to VPN server.... I think it is good function. What you think ?

Which router?

 

[pepeEL]

It's still based on 4129, which is the latest GPL available.

For AC87U is avaible firmware based on newer 4376 but sources is not avaible.

Which router?

RT-AC87U

 

[L&LD]

Try rebooting the router and see if the Signature Version changes.

Those temps are normal. Were yours lower before?

 

[pepeEL]

After reboot is OK. I have Signature Version 1.032

No i still have temp about 80*C...
I wanted to be sure that other people have the same. I overclocked the CPU to 1100MHz. Has anyone for more, and it's OK?

 

[VANT]

My 87U have also temp about 80C

 

[The Cool Dude]

Hello everyone.

Long time reader, 1st time post...

I am running 2 x RT-AC87U routers. Main one in Wireless router mode, and the 2nd in Access Point mode.

Just upgraded from Merlin 378.50 to 378.51 on my main RT-AC87U and have had this stuff flooding my logs since 378.50 and am wondering what it is:

The above is just a snip. It goes on and on and on.... Doesn't seem to be hurting anything though as I can still surf.

Any ideas? I searched but can't find anyone mentioning the above before.

Thanks in advance!

And i have temp CPU 81*C. Are you also temp CPU about 80*C ?


And Merlin i have one suggestion. Maybe we can add green icon to VPN about icon WIFI. It icon will be show status tahta VPN server is running or this icon show that some user is connected to VPN server.... I think it is good function. What you think ?

What is the signature version and what should it be on the 87U? Mine is 1.016 with F/W version 378.51. My CPU temp is usually 82 C.

Reboot your router. My after reboot have 1.032
