Yes that the spirit. Try and error.

Probably a client that bounces between radios.

This router has one client only, connected to 5GHz band. No SmartConnect. I will keep monitoring the log.

too sometimes on my wifi, dont know if it also has something todo with later intel wifi drivers

It's a Realtek 2x2 AC WI-Fi on an HP laptop.

Can anyone confirm if scrips are executed on nodes?

Hi again @Pergola Fabio
Yes, once you install Asuswrt-merlin on your nodes, you can run any of the scripts.
Amtm also becomes available.
In have ntpMerlin and syslog-ng running on my 2 nodes.

Moved to aimesh 2 months ago. Router is AC3100 fw Merlin (386.3_2) and a node Ac68u stock (3.0.0.4.386_43129). All is working well. Got to this thread wondering what's happening since Asus stock proposed 2 new versions for the ac68u. Would like AC3100 upgraded first before my stock node. But i'd be patient and i'm pretty sure RMerlin will come up with a great miracle for Christmas.

Sane and sensible advice for sure, but... I will wait and see - my network is not exactly crippled by this, and I really think there are already or will be others popping up with the same mystery.

And yes, I do assume that reverting would bring all that IPv6 goodness back.

EDIT: all right, I couldn't resist... reverting to 386.3_2 does restore IPv6, including "10/10" @ https://ipv6-test.com (which does seem faster than the "expanded version" I had been using for some reason - why is this?).

Which leaves the question of why did BETA1 seem to break IPv6, but [possibly] for only for a small # of us?

Being hopeful, I am looking forward to BETA2. Guest Network 1 with Access Intranet set to Disable?

I suspect that you use Guest Network 1 with Access Intranet set to Disable. I know that this configuration is what broke IPV6 for me starting with 386.4 Alpha 2. Below is the workaround that I did to get Native IPV6 working for me in the Alphas and now the Beta.

Probably better to block ads locally anyways. At least there is some level of control on what gets blocked. I imagine they will keep a free dns service going that doesn't support ad blocking. Does that mean I should remove AdGuard from available presets? I use AdGuard DNS as a custom...

Both routers updated to Beta 2. Seems to working just fine.

Have someone have courage to test: Disable 11b button ? Is it working now?

Thank you for new firmware.

rc: ensure that do_dns_detect() always has a valid test server even if nvram is empty

@RMerlin Could you tell me the address (es) of the server (s) that you have hard coded in.
Thanks

 

[ColDen]

Just updated from 386.4 beta 1 to 386.4 beta 2. Just performed a quick check and did not observed presently any issues...

Thanks you for your dedication in supporting our ASUS routers Éric.

@RMerlin Could you tell me the address (es) of the server (s) that you have hard coded in.
Thanks

I assume he used the code that Zastoff had tested:

nvram set dns_probe=0;nvram set dns_probe_content='131.107.255.255 112.4.20.71 fd3e:4f5a:5b81::1';nvram commit

AX86U had been cruising along on beta1 for a couple of days. Flashed beta 2 and lost Internet. Router said connected, though. Dumped DoT and custom DNS Servers and still no connection. Wife needed to do some banking so went back to Asus firmware. Sorry but I did not save any logs.

Edit. Not too sure but my problems could be related to the AWS issues in Northern Virginia. Unless others report issues I will give beta 2 another chance later tonight.

 

[FLA_NL]

Dirty upgrade from beta1 to beta2. Everything seems to be running. Thanks RMerlin.

 

[jsbeddow]

Hmm...almost seems like a holiday season/Christmas gift from @RMerlin: dare we hope for a stable Release by New Year's day?

 

[elorimer]

Update from B1 to B2: Asuscomm DDNS was listed after reboot as "inactive". I had to disable the client and then re-enable it.

 

[XIII]

Updated my AC86u from beta 1 to beta 2.

Too early to report anything else.

 

[JGrana]

I noticed that for HND routers, wireguard and the user tools are mentioned.
On my AX88U, I see /usr/sbin/wg, the kernel module (wireguard) loaded but no wg-quick. This was on both beta 1 and 2.

 

[torstein]

@RMerlin, shouldn't you take a holiday break, maybe? This can wait

 

[maghuro]

On beta 2, same ddns problem occurs.
And the ddns doesn't update... I have to manually call it

start_ddns: eth0 has not yet obtained an ipv6 address
