Just a question; why did you choose to run Merlin also on your Node and not stock firmware?Upgraded AX-88U and AX-86U mesh node to 386.7_2 and all is good. Thanks Rmerlin.
Mainly because when there was all the fuss about temperatures increasing using certain builds, i could use ScMerlin on the node to look at the router temps. I also haven’t had any problems using Merlin on the node so just carried on using it.Just a question; why did you choose to run Merlin also on your Node and not stock firmware?
I'm running stock on my node but I am wondering what would be the "best".
Thanks
I have an a1 version and had no issues with wifi I don't think its related to the revision of the router. As Merlin as stated most wifi issues are related to the client devices. And everyone's wifi environments and devices will be totally different from the next person I totally understand why he doesn't go too deep into wifi troubleshooting. The only difference between this firmware and the last was reverting to the previous wifi driver so I think that was the culprit for those having issues.I have two AX88U A1.1 too, but was in no way effected by the any WiFi-driver problems.
Same for me, so I'm guessing you're using Firefox. As Merlin has noted in this thread and elsewhere, it's Firefox that's the problem. Just rename the file with the cfg extension.Just updated to 386.7_2 from 386.7_0 my dear old RT-AC66U B1 using RT-AC68U firmware.
All seems workin' fine, but I found a problem exporting router settings (Administration/Restore-Save-Upload Setting).
Instead of Settings_RT-AC66U.CFG, router exported Settings_RT-AC66U B1.tar file that cannot be opened by WinRAR.
Is it normal?
Thanks in advance.
12 hours up time and all ok so far!
Instead of Settings_RT-AC66U.CFG, router exported Settings_RT-AC66U B1.tar file
For me it was an .XML file (also using Firefox), but renaming to .CFG works just fine to re-import.

Another question, are we supposed to remove the USB drive before updating?
I've never used USB flash drives on the AC86U before, but today installed Entware so the USB drive might stay for a while.
That's what I did but was surprised the extension was missing. I verified the router works properly in Safari and I reported the bug to Mozilla on Bugzilla.Just add the extension .CFG before saving.
Works for me with FF 102.0.1
I noticed one strange thing. My channel for 5ghz changed from 36 (fixed) to automatically with the update. Anyone else had the same? Could it be possible also other settings got changed?Thanks @RMerlin !
Updated from 386.5_2 to 386.7_2 on my RT-AX86U with RT-AX86S as node (running latest stock). All runing smooth and a clean system log!

I already heard back from Mozilla/Bugzilla...this bug was known and is already fixed. Should be out in the next version I believe...103That's what I did but was surprised the extension was missing. I verified the router works properly in Safari and I reported the bug to Mozilla on Bugzilla.
