Hi there,
I do not own a DSL anymore and I cannot test this... https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/issues/29
Would anybody check this out?
Thanks a lot.
From the logs it looks fine to me..

Mine seems to work fine and I do not have the same problem.

@GNUton, if you don't have a dsl anymore are you still going to continue with development?

It's a long time I do not have a DSL connection now.. and I'm still actively maintaining this project.
The DSL-AC68U is still my main router to access the internet but I do not use its DSL capabilities for now.

Thanks, good to hear.

May I ask a feature ? Sorry if this is has been answered before,

Is voip function supported eitheir from asuswrt0-merlin firmware itself or from this firmware?

I currently use dsl-ac68u as modem/router but because I dont want to have 2 devices I dont use the voip services of my provider.

thx in advanced and well done @GNUton , keep the good work mate

I can confirm that the problem referred to has never occurred in any of the @GNUton firmware releases - and certainly not in ver 384.14.0

I have 3 DSL-AC68U’s in the “family” at different locations - all running @GNUton released firmware - and none have had any issues with reconnecting via PPP on DSL lines after reboot.

Are you going to incorporate 384.15 into your GNUtonwrt realm? I am curious to see how well the add-ons adapt to the dsl branch.

Can indeed confirm this bug, and the workaround does rectify it.

I'm not having this problem. It's all working great for me. Thanks

I really don't believe this is a bug in the firmware - or many folk would experience the problem.
Suggest a factory reset and then reconfigure all settings manually without restoring from any prior settings.

[GNUton]

Hi there,
I have built a new pre-release https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/tag/384.14_2-gnuton0_alpha1 which is waiting for some testers.
I would like to thank all the people who help me in testing the firmware and support other users! cheers mates!
I just noticed Asus has released new binary blobs so I will update the firmware most probably this weekend. No idea what are the changes yet there.

 

[GNUton]

Hi there,
I have merged the latest ASUS binaries in 384.14_2 and here is the build: https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/tag/384.14_2-gnuton0_alpha2
This will require more testing than the alpha1 because ASUS has changed a few functions.
So once again, please test and let me know if the latest build works for you. Expecially the DSL part which I cannot test by myself.
Thanks a lot.

This one running rock steady as ever ... includes Merlin fixes between 384.14 and 384.14_2 - so better than ever.
Great work @GNUton once again ... {Thumbs Up} .

I can see lots of changes and bug fixes from Asus in their latest release.
I will test this alpha 2 of yours over the weekend and report back.
I don't doubt it will be as plain sailing as usual .

Ooops - this one did not work for me ... uploaded fine - but then on reboot could not gain access to router at all - webgui or via SSH.
Boot process seemed unstable - lots of intermittent LED activity.
Sorry no logs - had to revert to running Asus Rescue to stock firmware to get the router back.

Suggest you hold off anyway - and rather do next release when RMerlin releases 384.15 - which has some amazing additional features.

 

[insp1re2600]

bricked my router this one, cant seem to get into recovery either. lovely stuff.

The cautionary from @GNUton was clear - which is why I held off on the alpha 2 until ample time to play with the alpha [expect issues]
If you went ahead after reading my post above - then ...

While router is powered on - press and hold the reset button for at least 6 seconds - then press the power button and hold it in while still hanging onto the reset button ... wait until the power LED blinks slowly - then release. Run Rescue program asap with Asus Stock firmware selected. Do not restore settings from backup - reconfigure manually.

I suggest you stick with GNUton 384.14_0 stable release - it is rock steady if carefully an correctly configured.

I'm having problems flashing stock, reaches 85% then fails. Is there a smaller stock firmware or a way to flash from usb?
