[scjr]

All running smoothly thus far on beta 2. Thanks, RMerlin.

I just updated from beta 1 to beta 2 on a RT-AC88U.

I noticed this popping up in the System Log every few minutes. Sometimes a single entry, sometimes multiple bursts.

Nov 25 06:28:44 dnsmasq-script[314]: connect error: No such file or directory
Nov 25 06:28:44 dnsmasq-script[314]: [SEND_AMAS_NODE_EVENT:(4684)] ERROR connecting:No such file or directory.

It's probably nothing, but I thought I should report it.

Cheers!

Updated my AiMesh home system of RT-AX88U + 2x RT-AC86U from beta1 to beta2. All worked flawlessly on all three units. 10mins after the firmware update completion, did a power off/on of the RT-AX88U, always a key step after any products firmware change, the 2.4GHz light on the RT--AX88U front panel didn't come on. The Wireless Log had no clients attached on 2.4GHz & 5.0GHz bands. The Network Map showed 2.4GHZ & 5GHz clients attached. Everything functional on both bands though. Both bands visible to access on Laptop & iPhone.
20mins later (approx.) did another power off/on of the RT-AX88U, 2.4GHz light came on front panel, wireless log now showing client attached in both bands.

Upgraded from 384.13 (final) to 384.14 Beta 2 and updated the router host name in the LAN page.

First issue I noticed: my Raspberry Pi Zero (connected to a smart energy meter) does no longer connect to the network (wirelessly).

Unfortunately I run this Pi headless and rebooting a few times did not help, so this is going to take some time to investigate/fix.

(I also use a Raspberry Pi 3, but that is connected via a cable and works fine).

Does the Pi Zero need an update && upgrade perhaps?

No issues detected. 30% improvement on Wireless 2.4ghz. Running smooth.
Error found in the log's, but do not affect the operation.

What's the content of your /etc/inadyn.conf file? Looks like it's missing either the password (based on the secret_code nvram setting) or the username (based on the MAC address).

DDNS was enabled by default. I disabled it. I have no need.

You have no hostname - you have to chose a desired hostname after you enable it.

I observed this. I made the hostname. I don't use DDNS

Does the Pi Zero need an update && upgrade perhaps?

No, it came back online later during the day...

 

[Matt Hettermann]

I was one of the ones having dnsmasq issues (AC86U, DHCP server disabled) on 14b1 ... had rolled back to 13.

Upgraded (dirty) to 14b2 two hours ago, and all seems fine.

I know there may be some problems with DDNS since the fix but here is my two cents.

Status :    OK
Issued to :    xxxx.asuscomm.com
SAN :    xxxx.asuscomm.com
Issued by :    Let's Encrypt Authority X3
Expires on :    2019/10/3

cat /etc/inadyn.conf
iterations = 1
provider update@asus.com {
hostname = xxxx.asuscomm.com
username = "mac address"
password = "xxxxxxxx"
checkip-command = "/bin/nvram get wan0_ipaddr"
}
secure-ssl = false

Why the expired certificate yet everything in the log looks fine?

And also when trying to import the certificate to my browser, I get a response from the browser saying, "Too many certificates to import"

Here is a new one, I have never seen this before.

nslookup: getaddrinfo*.gaih_getanswer: got type "HINFO"

They are coming at about 4-5 per second, for the last half hour, but no effect on router performance that I can see. Google search and SNB search get zero results, which is rare indeed!

I think the answer to my question above by RMerlin explains what you see, maybe?

Had to reboot my AC88U because after the dirty flash from beta 1 my USB drive was not mounted. After a reboot it seems to be fixed.

Something new I noticed..:

"Your router will be automatically upgraded to the latest firmware at night. Or you can check your firmware version by visiting Administration > Firmware Upgrade page and decide if updating the latest firmware version to your router."

My SAN though is not, nor was it ns1.asuscomm.com. It was the same as my ddns domain name.

 

[Sanna1967]

I really dont know what is happening. Since 1 year that I flash this router (ac86) and since 384.14 ALpha and beta, I must absolutly reboot the router after a Factory reset to get ip .It shows in the GUI that I am disconnect!

This problem is not present with AsusWrt, 384.81351, 384.81049.I tested several times between .14 and AsusWrt and 384.13 (45717)

Sticking with 384.13 for now
