[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.66 is now available

[Morac]

I switched IPv6 from native to disable and the interface reset and the lights went off on the router and came back on. I then reset my cable modem and then I logged back in and switched it back to native and despite the GUI saying it was doing something the lights on the router never went off and also I lost the ability to connect to the router or the Internet. I had to power off the router and turn it back on.

After doing that IPv6 worked again and I could access the router and the Internet again.

I've never lost network toggling IPv6 off and on before. I've also rarely lost IPv6 and never got it back simply by rebooting the router. I hope IPv6 isn't broken in 380.66 as it was working great in 380.65.2.


Edit:

Checked the log and something didn't go right re-enabling IPv6, but I'm not sure what.

Had some different small issues when testing all the 66-Betas + the final.. Did a totally recovery + factory reset this morning. Reinstalled the 66-Final.....
WOW.....totally new piece of art. Works like a charm...thanks a million for all your work and effort MrMerlin. Big hug....

 

[Martin_D]

This is normal.
If you are playing a lot with the GUI; adding new devices ... etc. I see this message also sometime just by playing with the UI.Nothing to worry about here

Thank you.

I use Home Assistant on Raspbarry Pi that connect with my AC66U via SSH to scan connected devices. After upgrade router to 380.66 in log there is

May 14 10:24:35 syslog: Detect [192.168.1.20] abnormal logins many times, system will block this IP 5 minutes

Any chance to disable this?

 

[Adamm]

Solved

 

[tonysamson]

AC66U user here. Worked fine for me. Thank you so much Merlin.

 

[HawkInOz]

WPS switched on after loading 380.66 on my RT-AC88U as well.

Same here. Thanks for the reports, or I wouldn't have checked mine. Stayed off after a subsequent reboot.

 

[eclp]

For RT-AC87U users to be on the safe side, I've added this to my /jffs/scripts/services-start to make sure WPS is set to off after reboot:

#!/bin/sh

# make sure WPS is set to off after reboot
if [ "$(nvram get wl0_wps_mode)" != "disabled" ] || [ "$(nvram get wps_enable)" != "0" ] || [ "$(nvram get wps_enable_x)" != "0" ];then
   sleep 5
   logger "WPS has been disabled by $0"
   nvram set wl0_wps_mode=disabled
   nvram set wps_enable=0
   nvram set wps_enable_x=0
   nvram commit
   service restart_wireless
fi

@thelonelycoder
Suddenly, WPS (only 5 GHz) is active again despite script after the reboot.

Upgraded from Beta 1 yesterday and my AC68U has been rock solid, thank you!
I'm a long time user of Merlin's work and just registered today to say I really appreciate your time and effort you put in to this, I only buy Asus routers to use your firmware, so I think Asus should be grateful as its on most tech forums that the recommendation is to buy an asus that can run Merlin....so if no merlin for Asus routers I would move to another make, I can't be the only one so Asus take not if you read this. (Which I doubt)

Will updating to this update the bootloader on my rt-ac3100?
Right now it's on 1.0.3.9 and I have dd-wrt on it.
I don't want to lose the ability to flash dd-wrt back on.

There's no CFE update for the RT-AC3100.

Upgraded to 380.66_0 for the RT-AC 3100 .

Unfortunately, my Dell Printer and Onkyo Receiver fail to appear in the network Client List. Re-added Receiver through Pin Number to Router, but it intermittently appears/disappears from Client List. Wireless devices, IPhone and IPad, no longer find these devices either!

Reverted back to to 380.65_4 and all works fine, again.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Did you disable Airtime Fairness as documented in the Changelog?

 

[Clark Griswald]

Updated from 65_2 to .66 and all is working well with my vanilla setup.
I did notice WPS was active after update, when it was disabled previously.

Thank You RMerlin

 

[Oxybeles]

Thank you for the extremely expeditious reply.

As an amateur; I did not.

I have not changed any of the settings...

However, I noticed it is enabled in 380.65_4 without the issue. Is there something that has changed?

Please understand, the software is far better than ASUS firmware, as I have been able to have a stable connection to the Receiver for the first time ever.

Considering Merlin is the author of this firmware I think he knows this

 

[AimDev]

AC3200, no problems with install
WPS on 2.4G enabled (previously disabled), 5G disabled
Safari experiencing no issues with the gui.

What do you have set for the Authentication Method in the administration/system tab?

Http/https/both?
