I'm not associated with Asus in anyway. If I were, you would get what you want and perhaps a much better experience with ASUSWRT.

I'm just one user like any of enthusiastic users on this forum.

The RT-AC66U breakage is caused by a compatibility issue between the 378 closed source binary blobs and the 380 source code.

Good that you found it! Too bad that it's out of your hands.

BTW: How did you find out? (if you can tell)

Any improvement on 5GHz throughput with the new driver?

Yes, but you quoted the old ones...
The new version for the AC68U/P is: 6.37.14.126 (r561982) and only Broadcom (and maybe partially Asus) knows what changed!

Anyway a factory reset and manual re-config (or use the backup/restore script) is suggested when the drivers change!

lol. I may try and find out any improvement on wireless speed next year.

"wl ver" is a alot easier, but you only get your current driver version.

I started replacing large portion of the firmware with the GPL code, until I tracked it down to libshared. Then I swapped portions of it until I found the file. The file in question was just a single include, and the only real change in it was that enumerated list of IDs. When I tried just switching between GPL 378 and GPL 380 for that file, the issue reappeared with the 380 GPL.

Yes, lots of trial and error, and part of my Sunday lost to it

Anyone using this FW on the AC 3200? After having problems with my AC66 don't want to go through all the resetting of my main router if there are problems with the FW on the 3200

Well I tried it and so far it is working well , no noticeable improvements in range or signal , no drop in them either .

 

[tomislav]

I'm a little confused now. Will 380.57 work properly on the RT-AC87U?

Yes, I think so,
my 87U rocks in Norway. AC66U does not.

Officially, only the AC56, AC68, AC88 and AC3100 will be supported (they're the only only ones with real 380 support). I might release the following as experimental, unsupported builds: N66, AC87, AC3200. Undecided yet, I'll take the final decision when the release happens.

If the 'N66 doesn't make the cut; it will finally be time for me to personally move to a newer router model (that you support, of course).

That sounds like a good thing. Alpha 4 is working on my Ac66U, but that just might be cuz i haven't reconfigured anything at all (or its dumb luck)
Could you put alpha 3 for the AC66U back up, since that isn't on 380 yet?)

Which alpha you are using?

I am running alpha 4 on my RT-AC87, no issues so far.
Alpha 3 worked well too.

Great, do you have drain battery on Android devices and do your hard disk spinning continuous?

No hard disk connected and my Sony Tablet Z is resting without wi-fi on.
I do not think this version have the fix for the android battery issue, I might be wrong though.
Perhaps I should activate 5GHz wi-fi on the tablet, just for fun?

Battery at 87% now, let's see how it stands tomorrow.

Alpha4 working fine on my AC3200.

So AC3200 will no longer be supported ? WOW that sure did not last long , under1 year old and no more FW , shades of Netgear !
