[Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 Beta is now available

[Sonyrolfy]

Factory reset with Beta2 on the RT-AC86, A bunch of devices manual assigned and flying with good and strong signals across 2.4 and 5, When I turn on a wireless device, it will trigger amas_lib and restart firewall, while I have no amas? AiProtection enabled with no errors. 1-day uptime.

Thanks Merlin!

A week or so ago, I reverted back to 384.13 after having various issues again with 384.14_b1. Flashed to 384.14_b2 and everything plays nicely. Thanks, @RMerlin !
This is a self-compiled build. Little or no trivial issues except the ever common dcd_taint complaint issued by the router.

Beta 2 working well here

It's worth noting that "unexplained" log entries are most definitely not the same thing as "problems". Developers turn on debugging outputs and forget (or don't bother) to turn them off, some developers think everyone will "obviously" know a certain log entry is just for information no matter how poorly worded, and English is not the 1st (or sometimes not even the 2nd) language for many developers, so the log entries may not be worded to reflect the developers' intent. I'm sure there are other caveats I've omitted.

The point is, even ominous-looking log entries can be purely informational, or just debugging outputs only useful to the original developer. Even somewhat meaningful log entries such as the infamous dcd_tainted crash, are really a "so what" because the service just restarts itself (and then crashes again, rinse, lather, repeat), which, while it is crappy programming on ASUS/Trend Micro's part, it doesn't affect router operation at all.

worthy of a sticky. great post

I'm going to put a version of it on my top post in the scribe thread and in the scribe README. I feel like I owe that much to RMerlin for all the "OMG WHAT'S THIS IN MY LOG??!??!?? " messages that come up because people start reading the logs looking for trouble.

If only people actually took the time to read these...

- FIXED: IPv6 neighbour solnicitation drop toggle not working...
Typo?

It goes out of necessity. At least home, I have no need for MU-MIMO. I often isolate on the guest network the Alexa echo dot and Android Box. I have few devices.

Enable IGMP Snooping
Preamble Type: Short
Disable UPnP

There's another thread aimed at 2.4g settings, but I can't find it. Its not the 5g recommendations threads.

I agree with your post. I don’t want to turn into the poster child for commenting on log entries— My post was due to real experiential problems, here a just a few:

Nest camera glitches
Google Home Hub losing and regaining connectivity
My MacBook Pro throughput stalling and slowing to a crawl
My sons Dell gaming PC losing connectivity

I looked at the logs to see if they could help inform a solution. They didn’t help me find a solution, but did call my attention to a bunch of unwanted services turned on.

The older ASUS firmware continues to work as expected for me.

Cheers!

Mine is only showing "updating" under status.

Do I need to reset router?

 

[Neil62]

When you say might be an issue with how the wifi is setup what should I be looking for?

Please ignore this question

Is there a requirement to use a host name on the LAN IP page? Can it be left blank without any issues?

It can be a problem of how you set up your wifi and clients. Here normal. All updates need adaptations.

When you say there may be a problem in the Wi-Fi setup, what exactly should I be looking for?

No, that's just the price to pay for using a common domain name like asuscomm.com (or any other DDNS service). Let's Encrypt will throttle requests, causing delays from time to time.

No. After a factory default reset, it will default to the model name (combined with part of the MAC if I recall). Just enter anything that's valid for a hostname (letter, digits and dashes mostly).

Great thanks for that info. There is a field under it also, titled rt-Ac 86u domain name, I leave that blank, should I be inserting something into that field?
