Asuswrt-Merlin 380.57 is now available

[tzzhc4]

Can confirm this is also the case with my RT-AC68U. Switching to legacy b/g results in receiving DHCP information, switching back to AUTO or N does not. Leaving it on legacy for now.

Same problem with only one of my RT-N66U running 380.57. The four other APs don't have the same issue. The only differnce is this one AP has a SSID that is 18 characters long (all the others are 15 characters or shorter). Not sure if that makes a difference.

Correct. It's still the same Broadcom SDK 6.37 platform, and it also uses the same firmware image.

Thanks Merlin. As always a great build and very fast response!

Hi,

This version is working just perfect. The only thing that is causing my trouble is the syslog flooded with DHCP transactions.
Any command I can run to take DHCP's transactions from the syslog?

Thanks,

Under Lan Section , did you check "HIDE RA"

There is an option to disable the DHCP logging. On the latest Merlin, I think it's under LAN>DHCP Servers (on my fork, it's under Administration>System, in the Syslog section).

No, I have just did it after you mentioned it. Thanks

Brand new AC68U router out of the box , flash to merlin 380_57 . Did factory reset and 30/30/30 .
I noticed : 2.4ghz when set to channel 1-10 , no clients can connect with error that password is wrong .
Setting 2.4ghz to channel 11 works , clients can connect .

After a few days on this firmware , i can't login to the management page anymore , as it gives me a blank page (tried chrome , IE , Firefox) :
http://192.168.1.1/Main_Login.asp?error_status=1&page=index.asp&lock_time=0

Logging in to SSH i get -sh: can't fork messages :

ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4 Thu Dec 24 18:54:10 UTC 2015

Bit strange and i don't know how to fix it , never had much issues before on Merlin's releases .
Other people having this too ? Any tips ?


I can also mention I have another AC68U , running 380_57 which was upgraded from an earlier Merlin release with NO factory reset which is running fine .

EDIT :
After being logged in to the SSH for a few hours suddenly i can input commands again . Also the webpage is available again . The router did not reboot .

30/30/30 is not the way to Hard reset an Asus Router
Factory to Default in the GUI(administration) or WPS button trick(search on this forum) or "reset" button 10 sec to clear nvram
Knowed issues you have with this latest firmware for the AC 68
Read this treadh from the beginning
Revert back to 378.56_2 is the solution til a fix from asus

Another option instead of reverting to RMerlin's 378.56_2 firmware is to use john9527's or hggomes forks (based off of RMerlin's work).

With @hggomes, you have the option to use the new build (380.xx) with the old wireless driver. PM him for a link.

 

[eyeks]

I can corroborate - With 380.57 - my 2.4Ghz clients were bobbing up and down - connecting, with no Internet access, going down, coming up with Auth Failure, going down, indefinitely.

Downgraded to 378.56_2 - seems stable for now. Now I have to inform other device folks who I mislead to look at their devices for problems!!

[criminala]

Thank you all for the advice !

I did reset to factory defaults though (through webinterface. The 30/30/30 i did is just a habit i have from my DD-wrt routers ) , but that's clearly not where the main problem is in this case .

On which router model?

Have a problem on RT-AC68u, firmware 380.57. If I default the firmware, go immediately to the Tools -> Other Settings page, change traffic history to custom, enter path via the Select button (which turns out to be /mnt/ASUS/, a USB thumb drive which I used on previous Merlin firmwares, select create or reset data files, and, enable IP traffic (per IP), then save, it saves, and then the router crashes or something as you can never access it again, wired, wireless, ping, whatever. Did this 8 or 9 times until I figured out if I do not enable per IP monitoring, it works fine! I like using per IP, but, obviously, I won't enable it for now. Used to work.

There's about a dozen posts regarding this on the forums already. Anything that causes NAT acceleration to be disabled on the RT-AC68U with firmware 380.57 will create issues - you have to fall back to 378.56_2.

 

[sfatula]

Ok, can do, though, it's otherwise working. I actually searched for quite some time looking for anything to do with traffic history and never found such a thread. Must have missed a key word.

If you look, you'll see every firewall rule is 'doubled'.....one in function filter_setting, and one in filter_setting2

Are you running dual wan?

No I'm using single WAN. Security chain have only been there for 2-3 fw back asus have changed that lately.

Other than the cpu usage reporting issue, are there any known problems or precautions to upgrade an RT-N66U from 378.51 to 380.57?
