[Preview] 380.57 alpha test builds for all models

[RMerlin]

thank you RMERLIN found it

LAN -> DHCP

Or that. I wrote it in the Changelog.

 

[RMerlin]

sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is on

Check if your card has a write protect switch.

I ask it again, just in case RMerlin you would read it this time ;-) : could it be possible to still show the "Switch Control" page when operating as AP?
Or at least to give access to Jumbo Frame and Spanning-Tree Protocol somewhere in the interface while in AP mode.

I opened a ticket with Thomas on it. I found out that reverting the UPNP version to 1.0 fixes the issue (Thomas bumped it to 2.0 in a recent update).

Confirmed, I set UPNP major and minor to 1 and recompiled, UPNP 1.1 also behaves properly.

Non-router modes are not a priority for me at this time. There's only so much I can deal with as the only developer on this project, versus Asus having an entire team of full-time engineers. I have to prioritize work. It's not just a matter of showing/hiding a page, the entire firmware source code also needs to be analyzed then to determine which setting currently works at all if the router is not in router mode. We're not talking a 5 mins change here, probably a few hours of work.

Ok I can anderstand.
I wonder why Asus doesn't give access to this 2 option when in AP mode since both are relevant even if operating in AP.

On the AC66u the BSSID for 5GHz = 00:00:00:00:00:00 after upgrade and even a factory reset doesn't change that. After a downgrade to 56_2 everything works fine again.

After updating firmware I notice the QOS was on by default (set to automatic), it was not before, and DNSSEC support didn't work until after Factory reset of router.

RT-N66W

Not the case on AC68u

This may not help but worth a shot and also this is off the top of my head but I believe under LAN settings there's a setting for aggressive or normal. For my ISP I have to have it on Normal or sometimes especially with an IP change (if internet service goes down for long or if modem is without power for too long my ISP assigns new IP) my internet will not come back on with aggressive turned on.

This did not help. It seems like my RT-AC3200 is not able to handle any connection whatsoever. When connecting cable to the WAN port its reported as a 10mbit connection in the webui and it keeps telling me its disconnected and running the Internet Connection wizard only claim there is no connection.

I even tried to test Dual WAN and assign port 1, then 4 as my Secondary WAN but even the LAN ports does not say anything other than disconnected when used for WAN. Local network is working so the LAN ports and the DHCP is working so I have no idea whats going on here.

Here is the system log after my RT-AC3200 has booted, I'm now on the oldest of the official Asus firmware on a factory reset config;

I have UPnP issues as well with xbox and ps4. On AC88U with Merlin alpha_3

Running RT-AC68U in ap mode (nvram reset). Missing Preamble Option(short/long) on 5GHz UI page.

Yep. Checked on mine and the option is missing here too.

Thanks for the info. I have never seen this log message before.

I was messing around quite a bit today with all three band power levels on my AC3200 trying to see if I could improve wireless signals - I think I may have. Anyway, I wonder if there is a memory leakage in that operation that caused the lack of memory.

When I got the errors in the log, I was doing a copy of a large file (120Gb) to a USB 2.0 attached hard drive. I stopped the copy, rebooted, and started the copy again. Hasn't happened again.

When I read this, I realized that we have learned something new since then.....the drop_caches change on the ARM routers. On the latest Merlin build, you might want to experiment with drop_caches=0 and see if it changes things. Since it appears there was a difference between ARM and MIPS, and the drop_caches change makes the ARM router work the same as MIPS, it may be interesting.

Still lose IPV6 information with any setting that does that almost boot thing. And on any warm boot lose IPV6 as well. Have to turn router off, on to restore the IPV6 information.

I know there's a WAN-UP script out there that addresses the problem. Would of course like to see the issue fixed without adding a script.

 

[jsmiddleton4]

Getting good results though. Nothing fancy, no hieroglyphic entries in any fields.
