@brentil, things change.

I'm not really sure what that's supposed to imply. That Asus is blocking outbound DNS from everything but the router itself on purpose?

 

[L&LD]

No, that things change, and we need to adapt.

SMB2 share connects with macOS and android, but not Windows 10

I was recently able to flash my RT-AC66U_B1 to Merlin version 386.1. I set up an OpenVPN server and successfully can connect remotely with my MacBook, my Pixel phone, and my Windows 10 desktop In my USB Application - Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk settings, I have the following...

Yep...also online times of devices stopped working on the gui...seems .386 still has tons of bugs compared to the last .384

If you do, cycle power afterward to give 'em a clean boot. I did.

@DarkKnight75 mentioned about the bugs ++++ in the 386 version compared to 384 which am still on, is it wise to update?

Many user have been running 386 code for a long time now. It's also in Asuswrt-Merlin. It's running fine here.

Cycle power means power down/OFF and back ON again... a hard reboot.

I tried initial .386 and this latest and it was no go..so rolled back to latest. 384 which was up for 3.5 months with no issues...I'm gonna wait a bit longer before updating to .386.

Do a clean install coming from 384 to 386... install, reset, and configure from scratch.

And if your nodes are not far enough apart, be prepared to raise the 2.4 Roaming Assistant RSSI threshold... the WiFi in 386 is a bit stronger.

Up to you..you may have better luck...I also depend on stable connection and don't have time to beta test and downgrade firmware all the time..btw I did do the wps resetbafter upgrading firmware and configured from scratch.

Lockups, tons of bugs, no go... you are sort of just spreading FUD. Asus has been releasing 386 firmware for some time now.
