@GNUtonThis weekend I will most probably release a stable.
We had 3 weeks of testing with 3 pre-release cycles and I have fixed a lot of issues thanks to the feedback that I got from the community.
Each cycle wehad about 500s download, not as big as stable release but enough people for saying the most important things should be fine.
The stable will come with some UI small visual glitches in some models.
These are no functional issues and they will be ironed out in the coming minor releases.
The known issues are listed in https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/issues if something is missing please report it.
So, I would strongly incourage anyone using my firmware to update to the new stable once out if they care about security.
There are some sweet new stuff and improvements too so there is not a single reason for not doing that.
have you factory reset the router after the switching back?Important Note
If you flash Merlin on your DSL-AX82U (beta version), you will not be able to restore RGB functionality "if it was broken" when restoring to original firmware!
I tried every possible combination to make sure to restore to the default firmware and then turn ON RGB, but it will not turn ON at all, but only while booting and or going into rescue mode.
whenever the boot process completes, the RGB turns off immediately.
I have tried turning ON/OFF options from the WEB and from the APP nothing worked with each option + reboot right after.
For the 802.11b UI issue, make sure you have the fix from commit b757e2ebe4e84e6cc4127875a3197271cc462c47 on my repo. It should have been integrated in a recent GPL, but maybe the fix needs to be manually applied to some sysdep files in your case.Once again I thank you all for tesiting. I got feedback from here as well as from other channels and that's great.
@Neil62 all issues mentioned are valid but very small and they do not affect the usage of the router nor the stability.
I filed those bugs here

Just checked issue No 213 again after doing another total reset and rebuild and you are correct, it is working now, on beta 3. Go figure. Thank you.@Neil62 I cannot reproduce this https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/issues/213 it works for me with beta3 on my RT-AX82U and the @RMerlin patch is already there.
as for https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/issues/214 this seems to affect XT8. Investigating..
yup many many times...have you factory reset the router after the switching back?
I can't believe i tried everything with the beta version...@Regexed can you flash merlin stable, then the leds should work then flash orginal
I'm glad its sorted now, that was how I fixed it when i had the problem. And sorry when I say LED, I mean RGB...I can't believe i tried everything with the beta version...
thank you TrebleTA it worked with the stable version!
insane amount of time spent on a small detail that i missed beta/stable
@GNUtonAny news on the new stable or you delaying due to the new offical being releases?
