Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 51E3

[john9527]

Yaz, not Yas. Jeez

My deepest apologies.....have to think up a suitable punishment

 

[BaronVonchesto]

I don't use YasFi, so not sure of its inner workings, but if it allows you to set up nameservers for each subnet I could see where it could lead to the same situation I'm thinking about.

okay I'll try asking in the YazFi thread

 

[BaronVonchesto]

hmmm actually now im not sure whether it is the router at all... im finding the dns resolve speed to be particularly bad when im running windows 10,
but i dual boot with windows 7, and on 7 it is absolutely fine.

For the life of me I can't figure out whats going on. need to do some more testing on various devices to figure out if it's OS specific, device specific or across my network.... ugh so frustrating

 

[BaronVonchesto]

Well just wanted to update, couldn't figure out the issue even with the help of Jack Yaz. Decided to go the whole smash. Wiped the JFFS partition and Did a hard reset of the router and reconfigured it from scratch.

So far everything is working fine now. Next step will reinstall entware then wait a day or two, then if still ok will install yazfi.

Hopefully this time things will be okay

Hi, on AC56U have all newer firmwares a bug with IPTV. Last good was release 49E4 from 2.5.2021. On all newer after some minutes of watching is iptv stopped due to unstabile stream. This matter was ok on firmwares from 46E9 to 49e4.372.5.20214.43_49E4j9527

(Merlin LTS fork)​

Yes, provided it's not an RT-AC68U V3. See the installation notes.

I try and stay away from touching anything to do with IPTV (it's really messy code), and haven't touched the AC56 wireless in a long time (you didn't see how you are connected).

Only thing that comes to mind is that I did pick up a new getdns/stubby. If you are using stubby/DoT DNS, I forgot to back out an upstream commit that I don't include in my fork. It's a udp packet size check that while technically correct, in my experience doesn't play nice in the real world internet.
You may want to try the 52D1 build in the Development downloads which includes this change.

I have my stubby.log save to a usb drive. I have noticed larger than normal stubby.log files, mostly due to the presence of large areas of nul in the file. Is anyone else seeing big spaces in their stubby.log files?

@john9527 My guess is that this fix has got lost (mode w changed to mode a):

stubby: update open logfile with append; don't redirect stdout · john9527/asuswrt-merlin@8544a54

I knew I remembered this....you called it.

52E2 is up in the development folder with the fix (will be the next formal release when I can get the release docs done).

On all betas after 51e3 on my rt-n66u ipv6 page is broken missing left and top side of page menus and on dns part it says placeholder.

@john9527 I am experiencing the same behavior of a broken IPv6 page on my RT-AC68P since 51D7 iirc.

Could be related to this change, but purely speculation on my part...

* CHANGED: webui: webui: reboot all except ac68U when disabling native ipv6

Knew there was a reason I didn't push 52E2 over to the Public folder
Could someone check 52E3 in the development folder to verify the fix (dropped a close quote)...

All good on rt-n66u now, thanks for the update.

Those dreaded closing quotes

Looks good now. Thank you!
