Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.9 beta is now available for AC models

[MysticGold04]

So far so good, but I’ve only tested AP and media bridge modes on an RT-AC3100 and RT-AC68U.

Thank you, Merlin!

Based on your screenshot of the "top" command, it seems that "/usr/bin/find /tmp -iname crrt*" is a child process of the ASUS "Security Daemon" (asd).

See some info about "asd" on this thread here.

What is "asd" process?

Hi guys, I am wondering what is the "asd" process, which produces the following log in /jffs/asd.log: 1525496708[register_feature] chknvram registered 1525496708[register_feature] misc registered 1525496708[init] Load existing signature files. 1525496708[update_signature_in_feature] Update sig...

Thank you so much for clarifying this. I was beginning to think, a device on my network was compromised.

Sorry about getting off topic. As a final note, I just dropped off the RT-AX86U at the UPS Store to send back to Amazon.

I put my AC86U back online and I am sticking with it for now.

I am not saying this is my “final” solution but it is a simple, reliable setup.

Same here smokey - still off topic, but I'm wondering if you would mind explaining your reasoning? I personally love my AC86U for all its (alleged) faults and will stick with it until it dies. Planning on switching from 386.7_2 to 386.9 as soon as it comes out of beta.

Is anyone here having trouble accessing the nextdns web control panel with this update?

Just now I was having trouble opening some sites, I did a ping test for nextdns by cmd and it gave 100% loss.

There was also no internet connection on 5ghz. I changed nextdns both in ipv4 and ipv6 for cleanbrowsing and everything worked perfectly again. Would it be some merlin bug, mainly in the option where you can manually set the dns?

My router is a RT-AC68U v3.

386.9 Beta has been working flawlessly on all 3 of my AC AiMesh nodes.
Of course, AiMesh devices are more of a black box setup that you don't have much control over what's happening, or ability to view basic health status such as CPU info, uptime, etc., through the GUI. More seat of the pants assessment or reactive troubleshooting if connectivity issues ever happen. But, as far as I know, beta is working great!

I've had beta1 installed on my home main/AP setup for a few days now. No issues compared the 386.7_2. Site-to-site VPN, port forwarding, parental controls, and DoT all working same as before. The only new entry I see in the log is the DNS pack size message. Oddly, a few of my settings were changed after installing beta1, e.g., AIProtection became enabled.

Final release is now available - locking this thread. Thanks everyone for the feedback.
