Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 beta is now available

[RMerlin]

Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 beta is now available. The focus of this release is the merge of an updated GPL (probably the last GPL merge for the 386 series).

Reminder: 386.xx models are all on Asus' End of Life list since this spring. Asuswrt-Merlin will drop support for these models at the end of 2024.

Changes since 386.13_2

  - UPDATED: Merged with GPL 386_52805.
  - UPDATED: wget to 1.24.5.

Please keep discussions on the topic of this specific beta release.

Working without issues on my RT-AC86U ... save for the expected problems with webui add-ons provided by @Jack Yaz such as Diversion Stats and Scribe UI as well as Skynet webui page from @Adamm. - Can't scroll up or down the page - scroll bar vanishes.

I don't expect those to be sorted by the affected authors before final release version.

Most importantly - the new Asus provided GPL rides well on this router .
Many thanks again - for sticking with these soon to be "legacy" routers for 2024.

Dirty Upgrade from previous RMerlin Release.
Although I am using the 86U as an AP, everything is working well!
I was also presented with two separate "Asus Privacy Agreements", which isn't a concern, but just a "legal heads-up".

YMMV: I did have issues with the main download site, which for the past few hours has only downloaded at 80kb or less, and used the mirror site which was fast.

I shall wait, as always, for the full release.

Sensible for you given that the Asus GPL used in this Beta seems to be shipped with Chart.js 3.9 which, as explained elsewhere, is not backwards compatible with Chart.js 2.x used in many of the add-ons you have in your signature.

oh, good to see that @GNUton has already released a beta for my old DSL-AC68U!

No, chart.js was not updated in this release.

I can't seem to install it on my RT-AC66U B1.
Using the 68U release, as has previously worked.

I'll wait for final release.

Thank you for continuing to support.

Make sure you aren't confusing RT-AC68U with RT-AC86U.

That's exactly what I have done, twice.
Doesn't help that my other device is an 86.
My brain is melting.

The good news is that Asus does model validation before flashing whatever file is being provided by the user.
