[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 is now available

[RMerlin]

Could someone please test if the latest firmware support a USB hub at the USB3 port now?

It doesn't, and it's unlikely to ever do, due to the old kernel used by this platform.

So i had something weird happen last night on my 5ghz, it was going slow like less then 1 Mbit and I have it limited to 15mbit but the hopper 3 actual pulls about 17mbit, not sure if this issue was lying with hopper 3 or vod servers for dish the video and few other i was trying to download kept failing or going super slow or if it was router causing it, I turned off the 5ghz/2ghz and turn it back on with wps button 5ghz was still doing less then 1mbit, finally just rebooted router that same video's where still randomly failing to start but when it did it was downloading at 15-17mbit

anyone else had similar thing happen? were 5ghz/2ghz drivers changed from 380.65_2? When i flashed the FW i first factory reset, then I flashed FW, then i factory reset again before manually put setting in.

I had something similar on both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz, and wired as well. All of a sudden download slowed down to 1 MB then maxed out at 17 MB then down to 5 MB.
I have installed Merlin latest 380.67, cleared nvram, did initial setup, restore factory defaults, setup all my settings/configuration, and finally installed FreshJR script for QoS.
When the issue happened I just rebooted the router And everything is back to normal. I checked the syslog for any irregularities but everything seemed normal.

for me it was happen with only 5ghz wired and 2ghz were fine, there was nothing abnormal in system logs, either and I will keep eye on it see if it happen again, i always had times were either 2ghz/5ghz stop working at random on all fw versions. I usual just chalked that up as wifi being wifi

Thank you very much for the feedback. Would have been a great feature and I had hopes since 2014 that Asus would perhaps add it one day or other.
But what do you mean with old kernel and "this platform"? What would be a platform, besides a NAS, with a new kernel? Any other Asus router?

I have a passive usb 2.0 hub connected to my RT-AC68U (usb 3.0) and two usb flash drives attached. Works OK.

Am I missing something?

When Asus designs a router, they pick up a CPU and a pair of radio chips. The manufacturer of these chips provides a software development environment, which is based on a specific kernel version, and includes hardware drivers. This as a whole defines a platform. The kernel is tied to the specific chips, and the original software provided by the chip manufacturers, and cannot be changed.

That's because it's a USB 2.0 hub. USB 3.0 hubs require driver support from the kernel - that support isn't there in kernel 2.6.36.

May I ask what is the command to reload vsftpd after replacing key and certs?

thanks

380.67_1 (xx-xxx-2017)
- NEW: Merged GPL 380_7743 binary blobs for the RT-N66U.
- FIXED: Duplicate LAN port 1 shown for the RT-AC87U on
the Sysinfo page.
- FIXED: Port forward/UPNP issues with CTF enabled depending on
selected NAT loopback mode.
- FIXED: URL filtering wasn't working over IPv4

Is 380.67_1 still WIP?

 

[MarioCaires]

Is 380.67_1 still WIP?

Looks like it's only available to whoever wants to build it from the source.

 

[RMerlin]

I decided to skip it - none of the present issues are critical enough to warrant the extra workload of a parallel release.

Thanks, I assume these fixes are on the 380.68 alpha?

Yes.

I'm going to downgrade to 6_66 5ghz on Ac3200 drops randomly, never had an issue before upgrading. Could you look into this?

I've done factory reset, 30/30/30 and nvram reset nothing has resolved this.

Having the same issue on AC3100- 5GHz drops through the day over and over.

I upgraded my RT-AC3200 from 380.66_6 to 380.67 and it kills my internet, it cannot obtain an IP address from my ISP. If I go back to 380.66_6 it works.

Has anyone else has a similar issue?

Dear Merlin,
Just updated my RT-AC66U to 380.67 (I had 380.66_6 before) .
It was painful exercise that I seen first time..
First of all I got broken DHCP, so my router was not been able to get IP by ISP (Beeline Russia).
I tried returne to 380.66_6 but it was not fix this. Only re-installation 380.67 + "Factory default" returned router to "working DHCP".
I tried to upload "Restore setting" but it broke the DHCP again. So my choise was make full manual setting..
On this stage I try to setup second WAN like a beckup connection.
And see the same trouble with DHCP on second line.
The both connection is "Automatic IP" with "Fail Over" option.
The "Primary WAN" on WAN port works well now but I had to manually resetup the full options on router and "Second WAN" on LAN1 can't get IP by ISP now.
So I suspect that some issue with DHCP is on it..

My Wifi suddenly got sluggish on my AC88U running Merlin 380.67 and then all the sudden the 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz WiFi just died. Even after power cycling the router the WiFi still shows as disabled

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Here's what displayed in the logs right as it died.

Edit:

I have no idea how, but both WiFi channels somehow got disabled on the WiFi Professional settings page. I've never seen that happen before.

Is there some place that lists the default settings for that page? I want to make sure they haven't changed.

After power cycling this was in the logs:

I had a random reboot today. System log shows nothing. I think Asuswrt-Merlin is not for me...

Reverted to Asuswrt 380_7743, did the factory reset, but after 4 days of uptime I had a reboot again. Memory usage is just growing bigger and bigger, and then my router reboots. Syslog shows nothing but the reboot.

I don't think this shoud be considered as normal behaviour. Does anyone else have this issue?

 

[Sebastien Bougie]

Hello,

Since i update to this version my 5Ghz Wifi is dropping randomly. Do you guys have any solution before a do a factory reset?

Thanks
