Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

[XIII]

I want to try IKE v2 VPN (which I believe is new), but:

1. The username/password I added with supported IKE version "v1 & v2" does not get saved (the old v1 only credentials are still there)
2. I'm not sure how to set this up on iOS. Where can I find instructions?

AC86
A few questions about the new version.


4. The description for the firmware says that aimesh nodes can now broadcast guest networks to their coverage area. How to see or understand this?
My part of devices (smart home) will still connect to Aimesh Router, although they are closer to Aimesh Node.

Beta - Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

RT-AC1900P coming from 384.19 (known good reset and restore after playing briefly with Alpha 2 & 4). I finally bit the bullet and did a full reset and manual reconfig after a "dirty" upgrade to beta1. With 30 devices, two VPNs, and a media server, it took about two hours to get everything...

i'm on the same DSL line for the past 30 years

You would be scaring me if you also said the same DSL modem too

The whole thing scared me. Cranking up Green Day -> Warning!

Delete the old credentials first, apply then add. In that config page there are links for windows, iOS, MacOS and android on how to set those clients.

Hi
A question for other users like me having issues with Let's Encrypt.
If you tried to revert to 384.19, certificate works or not?

Thanks

Did not work. I did a 30 30 30 reset after downgrading to merlin 384.19 and also tried asus stock firmware

Having a flashback to my DSL modem back in 1995... at the time it was 2Mbps which was considered INSANE FAST. Good times.

I can't believe we are still seeing this reference to the 30-30-30 reset that is from old, old DD-WRT days of early Linksys routers. It no longer applies to anything from Asus made in the last decade. Please search for the many posts on how to do a proper full factory reset of Asus routers.

Dirty upgrade to 386.1 Beta from 384.19 went smoothly. So far no issues. Not using VPN or Mesh, so just basic setup for now.

Not so bad the old days.... any way made the reset.
Thank you for the information:
1. Turn the router off.
2. Press and hold the "WPS" button and turn the router on.
3. Power light is on (keep holding the WPS button).
4. Release the WPS button after the power light is off.
5. Reboot your router by manually pressing the power button.

Thank you @Vulcano.
I don't know what to do (I hope @RMerlin can discover how to fix this),
even in my case neither a downgrade solved the issue.

The Merlin version 386.1 beta has VLANs different from the official: doesn't have VLAN 501 and 502 when I run command "robocfg show".

Hard Factory Reset is not the same for all Asus routers.

No, VLANs are identical to stock. Asus changed things with 386.

I have the extra stuff at the bottom on the VPN Server page. Router is RT-AX86. See image.

Having a flashback to my DSL modem back in 1995... at the time it was 2Mbps which was considered INSANE FAST. Good times.

When I was in college dorms in 1996 we had 100Mbit Ethernet access to the Internet, complete with a static routable public IP address. It was especially good because my university was part of UCAR, so we had extra good network speeds. That ruined me for home internet access for decades. Running Quake servers was amazing. I refused to even consider renting or purchasing anywhere that didn't at least have megabit service, which was fairly rare back then.

Yeah, we had access to the good stuff at Uni on campus too. Ahhhh... those were the days. But 2Mbps at home was nice. How far we've come.

dat klinkt meer geschikt voor een script voor mij. [USER = 53009] @Jack Yaz [/ USER] lijkt de systeemmonitoringscriptgoeroe hier in de buurt te zijn ... misschien kan iemand hem vriendelijk vragen daarnaar te kijken, misschien als een verbetering van een van zijn bestaande creaties - scMerlin, misschien ?

since when did I speak Dutch?

@heysoundude, please take this kindly, but I always knew you weren't speaking Greek, to me, but it isn't English. Lol...
