[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 is now available

[john9527]

what is the difference between a 'Manual' IP address and a 'Static' IP address, it being assigned to a unique MAC?

I make this distinction....
a Manual IP is assigned at the router, such that the router hands out that address during DHCP
a Static IP is assigned at the client, such that the client uses a specific address, and usually bypasses the routers DHCP

I'm not sure why, but none of the settings on the Tools -> Other Settings from the Resolve IP for Active Settings and up are selectable or changeable on Safari on my iPad.

I wanted to toggle the resolve ip setting, but tapping Yes does nothing. Neither does tapping on any setting above it. Tapping on settings below that works fine.

Hi,

After switching to Asuswrt-Merlin my RT-AC66U started to killing itself by morning after a few days uptime. Connected devices remain connected, but have no internet access and they can't reconnect after disconnecting. I use it just for routing, nothing else. Log shows oom-killer.

It happened twice: once with 380.66_4 and once with 380.67 (only tried these versions)

What can I do to avoid this? Asuswrt was fine. Factory reset? Didn't do it after upgrading from Asuswrt. (Which didn't have this issue.)

That is the reason. Factory reset is obligatory after upgrading from stock FW.

RtAc68U Unable to load the 380.67 coming from 380.66_6. The WebUi displays "Please wait, Applying Settings..." and 0% of the file is loaded. Never before. I tried with Edge, Firefox and Chrome. I generally reset AC68U more times but all is the same. What I can do?, please.

Just a note: I have the below listed entries (bug?) only with activated Adaptive QoS plus fq_codel. With sfq not.

kernel: htb: htb qdisc 14: is non-work-conserving?

Reboot the router with no USB disk plugged in before flashing, in case your router is running low on free RAM.

Also double check that you have the correct firmware model, and that you aren't running any security suite that interferes with web browsers.

These can be ignored. They're kernel debugging info, been there since day 1.

Thanks! I did a reset this afternoon. We'll see...

For some reason this slowed my router speed down. I have an 80mb Fibre connection in the UK, average speed test around 76mb. With this firmware couldn't get above 9mb testing on multiple machines. I didn't do a factory reset though.

Back to .66 and everything is fine again. Weird.

This is on a AC5300.

CHANGED: Remember chosen sort method on DHCP static reservations
page.

Thanks for this.. However was wondering if you could make it sort by IP by default if nothing is set first..

Lowest ( top ) to Highest ( bottom )

Solved! I saved the NVRAM with the NVRAM Save Restore Utility, then performed a Factory Reset, then updated the firmware and finally restored NVRAM. Thtat's okay now. Thanks to all.

Why? It's just one single click for you to do so...

I believe this is a really stable version! Thanks Merlin

LAN ports 5-8 (RTL) don't seem to work with non-gigabit devices after upgrade on my RT-AC88U. I have a device for controlling electric outlets, home alarm etc called 'Telldus Tellstick .Net' and it wouldn't get a connection on any of the ports (5-8) and was blinking red (=no IP assigned), but as soon as I plugged it in on port 4 it got IP-address and is now working. The device uses 10 Mbit Half duplex speed according to what I see in General-->Tools.

I haven't seen an Ethernet device run at 10 Mbps for over 15 years. You should probably check that device's cable and its configuration. This sounds like something is causing Auto-Negotiate to fail.

 

[HugoGTM]

I have been testing the fq_codel and will stick to cable (docsis) option...

however while testing i came across something that might be adjusted... each time the overhead present is changed and applied the drop down menu goes back to "Select preset" it would be nice if the page would remember the selected option... you know... just a nice thing to have

thanks!

My RT-AC87Us have been running without issue on 380.67 since release until today and this happened:

Looks like the QTN radio tripped itself up somehow and then rebooted. When I was running on 380.65 and 380.66_6 I was going for extended periods of time without issue but now 380.67 had this happen. :-(

Just updated my rt-ac68u (previously tm-ac1900) to 380.67 final, everything running smoothly so far.

@RMerlin, Is it possible to add a new feature such as "WAN uptime" under system log>general log, and under tools as well?


Thanks for this great firmware.

There are still some devices out there that are 10 Mbps. For example I recently bought a Secure+ 2.0 gateway for hooking up an older garage door to the Internet. It only does 10 Mbps, probably because it's cheaper and doesn't require faster speeds.

I have it hooked up to my 88U (port 3) which reports it as 10 Mbps. I confirmed it was from this link
