[Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 Beta is now available

[L&LD]

@randomName, are you doing a full reset on b3 when testing?

 

[lilstone87]

@lilstone87, you confused me when you said 'from the other day' in your post earlier today. As that build was available yesterday.

Have been running that g6ed03020e2 beta 3 build without issues, btw.

Well for me he released that build on the 7th, reason I said the other day. But I understand you getting confused by what I said.

Also I seen the other user reply, saying that person used a self compiled build. Which ultimately, this thread is about Merlin's builds. Not to be rude, just pointing out. Also I appreciate the user mentioning that though, so this didn't turn into a longer, unneeded discussion. We all know the newer SDK for the AX88U is pretty broken right now. Hopefully all that stuff is corrected, and Merlin can include it with his 384.15 release build.

@randomName, are you doing a full reset on b3 when testing?

Everytime I upload a new Firmware whether beta or release I begin with a full reset/initialization

 

[randomName]

I think what might have happened is my QoS download table/speed might have got corrupted, my download speed dropped horribly from my manual input of 31mbps to 2.95mbps

 

[ryannathans]

Are your drivers and os version the latest?

Yes, using Windows 1909 fully up to date on a new OS install with the latest driver 21.50.1.1. I've tried reinstalling the driver and doing network resets in Windows.

With each drop out I must manually reconnect and I get capped at 40mb/s with poor latency until I reboot the PC (turning wifi on and off again doesn't help).

Each time the log is spammed with those "packet received from deauthed client" messages that I posted previously.

On beta 3 I can't stay connected for more than 15 minutes without it dropping out. On the previous version 384.13 I never see the issue, stable as wired Ethernet.

I could have sworn that in previous .13 versions, LAN ->DHCP Server -> lease time number was in minutes, but in 384.14B3, it appears to be seconds, so have just had to set lease time to 604800 - in order to get back to 7 days.

Can anyone confirm?

AFAIK it's always been in seconds. That said I havent checked it specifically in 384.13, neither can I remember reading any posts about thats been changed lately in the forum.

I’m still on .13 and my 1 day lease time is 86400. So seconds it is.

L&LD,
I have been running the same g6ed03020e2 beta 3 build for close to 11 hours ...

Edit: 1 day 20 hours

 

[skeal]

+1 Also have the beta 3 g6ed03020e2 new on my AX88U and everything for me works. Including bandwidth limiter. I'll run this a while and let you know how things go Eric.

If people are having VoIP issues, I recommend disabling the NAT helper for SIP (i.e. set the passthrough to Enabled instead of Enabled + NAT Helper).

give a go at forgetting the network in your devices and re connecting them again, see if that helps at all.

Running self compiled 384.14_beta3-g907d21657b (7756 branch). Can confirm the DPI engine is working again and correctly identifying traffic. QOS is still broken but besides that everything else is running smooth, can't replicate any of the other issues people have been posting about the new SDK,

Switched to Merlins pre-compiled test build as it seems its on a different commit to the github repo, turns out QOS is working for downloads but not uploads.

To test this limited my connection to 10/10 with Adaptive QOS

Just installed 384.14_beta3 on my RT-AC86U:

- FTTH 100/50 Mb (Huawei upstream fiber modem in Automatic IP)
- DDNS disabled
- Samba share
- MiniDLNA
- AiProtection
- 12 devices connected (ethernet, WIFI 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
- Access point Netgear EX7700 connected

I did an update without resetting the router it went smoothly and all my settings are still here.
Now everything seems fine and I only have this in my system log:

Great job as usual many thanks to @RMerlin !

Switched to Merlins pre-compiled test build as it seems its on a different commit to the github repo, turns out QOS is working for downloads but not uploads.

To test this limited my connection to 10/10 with Adaptive QOS

Using bandwidth limiter, same firmware build, mine works fine. Set at 60/10. Tested on an active system with a multicast video stream and no pixels.

Isn't https://www.speedtest.net/ a more reliable test than dslreports..?

Not in my opinion. I get the same results.

 

[MDM]

Probably dependent on your location, for me it sucks (closest server is more than 2.000 km away - Ireland!). No good for Europe...

 

[netware5]

If people are having VoIP issues, I recommend disabling the NAT helper for SIP (i.e. set the passthrough to Enabled instead of Enabled + NAT Helper).

BTW, what is the difference between "Enabled" and "Enabled+NAT Helper"? I've tried to look for some simple explanation, but didn't found.
