[Gar]

From 384.19 to 386.1b5 working fine on my basic config with 3 clients. Thanks!

Edit: Did a full reset too since I haven't for awhile.

 

[QuikSilver]

Updated both AC86 units to beta5, so far so good. Will check again in morning. Thanks Merlin, you're a Wizard.

This contains dnsmasq 2.84 (which was released only three hours ago by its author - just saying...) ...

You're truly awesome.

You're truly awesome.

@themiron did all the heavy lifting there, updating the recent security patches over the weekend so they could work with our OpenSSL crypto backend.

A huge thanks to @RMerlin and also to @themiron too. What a great group here!

So far Beta 5 working great on the AX58U's and 68U
Thanks

Updated on my AX-86U, seems to have updated nicely.

I'll give running scripts with amtm on this version a go and see if it's stable now. I've had unstability on the previous version.

And now with Beta 5, this isn't an issue anymore for all you OCD types either.

The connection now shows 'Great' and a solid green line with 2.5GbE backhaul between two RT-AX86U's.

@ Eric, with beta 5 the issue with guest network is no longer there when using RT-AX88U and guest network 1, if you like i can run additional test, but so far everything is looking good.

Do you mean the issue with the log message?

Upgraded from 384.19 to 386.1b5 and getting stuck at around ~240Mbps download speed still, LAN as well as WIFI. I had the same issue on Beta 3 and Beta 4. Downgrading to 384.19, download speeds are fine (Gigabit, 700-900Mbps usually).

It's basically acting like QOS or NAT Acceleration are On respectively Off, but they're not (QOS is Off, NAT Acceleration on Auto)... exact same settings on 384.19 as on the 386.1 Betas. Not sure what else to try other than going back to 384.19 again. This is on a AC88U.

Yes, what was happening if you enabled guest network, spam log messages were being bombarded in system logs.

Thanks. Sounds like I can switch back to using Guest network #1.

upgraded from b4 (1st version) direct to b5 via webUI (on 2nd try with USB unmounted).
only issue is that guest clients don't show on the network map under the guest network sections.
but it may be related to me using YazFi

I still had the issue here when I tested it, make sure you check with dmesg, not syslog. Also need to have a 5 GHz client transfering data at the same time.

I tested with 2.4, will check with 5 and see how it goes.

Appreciate this...downloading now and we'll monitor. Feels like Christmas again. Thanks RMerlin.
