Ahhh, seems you have unknowingly upgraded to a dual band model. Those nightly builds can be game changers.I have one dual-band AC5300! One of the 5GHz radios is broken...
Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available
- Thread starter RMerlin
- Start date
- Status
A lot of these vulnerability fixes are already included in 386.4. Same with the DDNS fixes.
I don't have time to work on a point release right now, and a new customer contract signed today means I probably won't have much time either for the next two weeks.
Today was the first time in nearly a week that I actually had time to eat lunch.

That explains why I couldn't find 386_45958 or anything newer on ASUS-wrt official up until yesterday. Current now is 386_46061, but RMerlin was ahead of Asus itself for almost two weeks
With stuffed crust
EDIT:
Just out of curiosity @RMerlin, and forgive my ignorance, but why aren't your releases and ASUS' own synchronized and having the same version-numbers? Why would they give you "older" GPLs and then release newer ones themselves sometime after? And what and who decides which ones you get, and why do you get those specifically and not the absolute latest? Just trying to learn about your process
Also hope you get some well deserved rest the next few weeks.

One of the reasons is Asus themselves don't release all models on the same firmware version, as they release each model independently. My own development model however has me releasing all models at the same time, which means I need the same code version for all my models - that means even if Asus doesn't release a firmware for some models for that same version.
The other reason is I get GPL code from Asus separately from their own release, as they send me code based on my own development cycle. Sometimes it's the same version as an intended release, sometimes it's a snapshot in time as they are themselves still busy working on things for an incoming release.
And finally, it's the only way I can get code ahead of time. Otherwise if I we have to wait for them to release something, it means I can only begin working after their own release is out. That would mean I would always be 1-2 months behind them.
So during my own development cycle, we just settle on a specific release that they feel is in a good enough state to be used as a base. Sometimes they send another update, or separate patches afterward if serious issues have been fixed on their end. This is why 386.4 is based on 45958, but it does contain a number of additional fixes that Asus had implemented after 45958. During the 386.4 development cycle I received two different GPL versions.
They didn't. They gave me what was up-to-date at the time, which was early November for 45958. Development simply takes time, there's is a lot of work to do on my end after I receive GPL archives. So while I was working on 386.4, Asus didn't stop developing on their own end.

In Paris...
EDIT: Back in 2018 we had a layover in Paris on the way home from South Africa --> Toronto. Had enough time to get out to the city and see the sights.

I've been stable since 386.4's release date but had a crash today. Configuration changes since 386.3_2 include enabling IPv6 and an OpenVPN Client profile added but the crashlog makes me lean towards something around the USB subsystem. I'll check my external devices for errors and if it happens again, I'll use a new AC86U power plug I have hanging around.
Just wanted to throw this out as an FYI, unless someone has more insight.

Yep, corrupted USB filesystem.

will a factory reset fix that?

No. It needs to be repaired using
fsck.Hi,
please excuse me, any hint on this?
Setting "Intranet access = ENABLED" solved the problem, however this makes no sense.
Best regards
The Internet is a globally-connected network of computers that enables people to share information and communicate with each other. An intranet, on the other hand, is a local or restricted network that enables people to store, organize, and share information within an organization.
after upgrading to this version on a AX68U, i started finding all my 5 Ghz clients disconnected. after a few hours. They were unable to reconnect.
didn't snag the log, but it seemed to imply my client had left the area.
tried a couple settings in the professional tab recommended for this problem, but no joy.
backed up the config, downgraded back to 386.3_2, restored the config. no issues on the older firmware.

After ~ 5 years my RT AC88's ET WAN Port died, nothing for it. I got an RT AX88U, updated to Merlin and restored settings. I had few neurotic tweaky things to do, of course, but very easily back in business. Made good use of the wifi radar site / traffic features; hadn't looked at my surroundings in while and things had changed.
