Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.1 is now available for all supported Wifi 6 models

Cant setup AIMesh after upgrading to 388.1
I have AX-3000 as router and AX56U that I had as ai mesh node.
All of a sudden I am seeing the node is missing from the Mesh nodes list and set as repeater in the client list.
I tried to reset the node and re apply it as AiMesh not but without success.
The router does detect the AX56U but after finishing to set it up it doesn't appear.

Any idea of what might be the issue?

Setup:
Modem --- (wan) AX-3000 (lan) --- (wan) AX-56U

hi, i think you must do it the first time with cable, not with wifi, try and see if work.

This is exactly what I'm doing... It looks like the process is successful but then it doesn't appear in the node list

Good afternoon everyone.
After updating Merlin from 386.7 to 388.1, I have an issue with the Wireguard VPN client.
Every time I reboot the router, this client appears at not connected, with a log message such as 'no such device'.
My VPN supplier is AirVPN.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Edit: I'm talking about an ASUS RT-AX86U. I have already Wireguard Manager from Entware, but I wanted give a try to Asus Merlin GUI Wireguard Client.

you will likely receive other responses but i've had several issues with vpn including wireguard on the 388 release. everything returned to normal after reverting back to 386.72 - by far the most stable rel.

the 2/7 "official" release mentions a fix for wireguard that is specific to surfshark. you may want to check, but i doubt if 388 contains this fix. at this point, taking a "wait & see" course may be the most prudent.

I'm having issues with seeing the 6 GHz band with my new 2023 MacBook Pro. I've been searching around about the issue and found the following thread below. One post talks about “Reduced Neighbor Reports” (RNRs) to advertise the presence of 6 GHz networks on the router. Anyone familiar with that on the ASUS routers, specifically the GT-AXE11000? I'm using the Merlin 388.1 build. I also have an Alienware laptop and it can see and connect to the 6GHz band just fine. So wondering if it's a bug with the MacBook or Router. I contacted Apple support and they have no idea what the issue is at the moment.

A couple of "events" that I've noticed. Neither stop me doing anything at all, but I haven't seen them before this firmware release, so, just-in-case:

ALL the content of 'Authorised Keys' on this page: /Advanced_System_Content.asp are lost (i.e. deleted / removed) after any re-boot. Have local copy, so it's easy to add that again, in order to invoke SSH access only via key, not password, but never seen this previously. Anyone else noticed this?

DDNS via WebUI now works much, much better than it did previously and this includes the IPv6 address as well as the IPv4 address, which is great. However... IF... I try and add content for a second DDNS provider so as to operate this, with the existing WebUI DDNS setup (i.e. updating multiple DDNS services) exactly as per THIS Merlin link, by creating a /jffs/configs/inadyn.conf.add file, this just doesn't work at all now. Yet previously, it did, every single time, without fail. I see that in the 'other' firmware (386.9 which will soon be 386.10 for AC Routers), inadyn has been upgraded to the 2.10 release. Maybe, I'll just need to wait for the upgrade to take place in 388.2 (?) before investigating this further, but just curious to know if anybody else has noticed this too?

AX-3000 --- AX-56U is LAN to LAN not LAN to WAN like your setup

Anyone else unable to keep the LEDs on the front off?

Turn them off either in the admin menu or via "lc" in amtm.

Working perfektly here...

By the way: Is it possible to have a signature with the modell you are referring to?

I’ve turn them off via the app under management in the individual node but I’ve noticed they keep coming back on at some point. Edit: XT8 is the model I have.

Sorry for the question, I have an old AC56U that is becoming "instable" (a ten-years old machine could to this...), so I want upgrade to a new AX model.
A reasonable cost/price model for me should be the AX86S, but it is not a "supported model" by Merlin fw, despite the previous AC86U and the more powerfull AX86U are supported.

Someone is using the Merlin fw on the AX86S, probably installing the fw version released for the AX86U ?

On the official ASUS websites the two models seem to be very similar, the four main differences are:
- CPU 2-core (AX86S) vs 4-core (AX86U)
- 512MB RAM vs 1GB RAM
- second USB port is 2.0 on AX86S, 3.2 on AX86U
- leak of 2.5 GB WAN/LAN port on AX86S, with the leakness of the relative LED

Thank you in advance for any help/suggestion

Thank you Dave, I've read on the Merlin's home page the list of new fw release and stupidly I though it was the full compatibility list!!

I have the same problem
