[Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.15 Beta and 384.13_3 are now available

[skeal]

@RMerlin any idea why asuscomm.com alias won't register? It says:

Request error! Please try again.

I've tried different unique names and all fail with the same error. Can it be tied to no client list?

Asus DDNS authorization is based on the router's MAC, and a secret PIN that's stored in the bootloader (and nvram).

Did you make any change to these?

I haven't made any change to the inadyn Asus DDNS code in months.

All I did was reset 384.15 beta 1 to defaults and it has been like that since. No sir I don't play with anything like a boot loader. I'm a pretty basic guy that has learned a lot from this forum.

Same with the client list bug, all I did was reset to defaults from the webui and no clients shown since.

@skeal Did you try the WPA button hard reset method yet? If not then you should try that and do not use any backup files.

1. Turn the router off.
2. Press and hold the "WPS" button and turn the router on.
3. Power light is on (keep holding the WPS button).
4. Release the WPS button after the power LED light starts flashing.
5. Power light stops flashing and the router will automatically reboot.

Another option is to add the Clients command to profile.add from my GitHub repo (along with other shortcuts and hacks). You can change it to an all lowercase name if you prefer.

# List active LAN Clients from the command line
# Usage: Clients
Clients () {
    GREEN='\033[0;32m'
    RED='\033[0;31m'
    NC='\033[0m' # No Color

    printf '%b%-23s %-15s %-17s%b\n' "$GREEN" "Description         " "IP Address    " "MAC Address      "  "$NC"
    arp | sed 's/(//;s/)//' | while read -r DESC IP AT MAC ETH ON IFACE
    do
        printf '%-23s %-15s %-17s\n' "$DESC" "$IP" "$MAC"
    done
}

When I run "Clients" at the command line I get output without host names. Any idea why?

Did that and more my friend, thanks though for thinking about me.

In that case try reverting back to 384.14 or its stock Asuswrt equivalent. Also format your jffs partition twice as well.

Done and done. I even used the firmware recover tool to flash both stock and merlin firmware.

Hmm, that's strange. Did you check if Asus's router app is showing any clients list or it's empty as well?

I don't use the App. I tried from linux and windows, using firefox and chrome, and edge all show empty. Weird thing is if you change the function of the unit from router to access point the client list works both stock and merlin.

Okay weird issue I must say.
The list is also empty if you tap the circular monitor button on top of "View List" button? The list should show on the right hand side pane.

Because of "Wan: Use local caching DNS server as system resolver (default: No)"

You are right! Can i leave it set at yes or what?

Yep, it can be toggled to Yes, there's no drawbacks for that.

Same in QOS.

But in DHCP Server my offline list is complete.
