Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.12 is now available for AC models

[dave14305]

Is there a fix for this vulnerability in the Ac86u firmware?

If the article says you need 51915 or newer and Merlin has 51997, you can be reasonably confident it’s included.

Timely security update, thank you very much

American consumer law disagrees with you, this forum has been in the wrong the entire time

Some say - don't cut the branch you are sitting on. Asus unhappy - no more Asuswrt-Merlin. No Asuswrt-Merlin - no more SNB Forums.

That does not give you the right to install a retail version of Windows 11 on it without paying the appropriate fee.

No one cares about the licensing. We can discuss installing of Windows 11 on unsupported officially hardware, no problem. We discuss VPNs mostly used for downloading unlicensed or restricted content, no problem. Must be about something else when TM-AC1900 was provided almost for free to T-Mobile subscribers and RT-AC68U was sold for $200-300. I did support the restriction for the reasons above, but I don't support the official explanation.

Same issue here but haven't tried umounting. Uploading firmware through wan connection, maybe because of this? Model is ac68u

Rebooted from the GUI...
Tried to upload a couple times, as I described, but until I rebooted (and unmounted my entware drive with unbound, diversion etc) and then upload/flash, I only got that "standby" message rather than the expected progress bar.
It's weird, because before I unmounted the entware drive, the router theoretically (as I understand things) would've had the 2GB swap partition available. the firmware image is only 79MB
(It's quite possible I need a refresher on swaps...)

Anyway, you should be good...no physical access req'd

Was 386.12 for the AC68U taken down? A few people said they installed it but I don't see it here.

Not that I'm aware of — it's still posted on the mirror site (OneDrive Mirror)...

Looks like something went wrong with Sourceforge, 386.12 files seem to all be missing. I'll have to reupload them later.

EDIT: something going on with them indeed, half of the files are failing to re-upload:

Could not chdir to home directory /home/users/r/rm/rmerlin: No such file or directory

And I see they posted a notice on Mastodon that they were investigating issues, from 8 hours ago.

AC88U - on 386.12 I am getting a blank AI Mesh Topology screen. Works when router is first rebooted then checking it later on it shows absolutely nothing.

Tried to D/L 386.12 from Sourceforge this morning (Sept7th .. ~8AM EST) .. nothing happened.

I did manage to download 386.12 from the OneDrive mirror .. it updated my Merlin .. I trust this OneDrive mirror image is fine?

It is an official mirror maintained by @RMerlin .

Yes. It is an official mirror. You can verify it yourself by visiting the Asus-Merlin download page:

Login via ssh and run killall asusdiscovery and see if it starts working. If not, try the reset.

just update AC88U ( both Main and node ) i was wondering and hope the fix for 5Ghz wifi. before i connect node as ai mesh. i am able to select wifi channel of 5Ghz as low as 44 ( Regen ,asia) after connect both AC88U as ai mesh, it's no longer allowed me to choose low channel for 5Ghz, only 149 up.. one of my phone unable to connect or to find on that frequency..

Not likely WiFi is closed source and that router is End Of Life and no longer supported by Asus.

I'm about to update my RT-AC86U from 386.11
Do I need to remove the USB flashdrive before starting the update?
I use the USB for skynet and entware.

i did a factory reset and reconfigured all my settings, and the network map is still not working correctly. it doesn't show some connected devices and doesn't detect new ones. any other solutions?
