[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

[RMerlin]

Are RT-AC88U and RT-AX88U the same?

No, completely different hardware and architectures.

 

[Grisu]

Merlin.nodes can operate user scripts if end user feels so inclined.

And which scripts will you have to run preferable on nodes than master router?
Merlin himself recommended to use Asus stock as he sees no or minimal benefit with his firmware on nodes.

I went from Merlin on N66U to a POS SmartRG router provided by my ISP. Put up with it for a few months until I got an AC86U off Ebay.

First thing I did was a factory reset and loaded up Merlin. So glad to back!!

 

[Crash9]

I finally updated my N66U to a AC1900P, and i installed this release on the new router, and did a factory reset and set everything up.

My issue is that asuscomm.com DDNS on the new router isn't working. No matter what I put in for my hostname. It says "Request Error! Please try again."

The log says:

Aug  4 11:49:29 start_ddns: update WWW.ASUS.COM update@asus.com, wan_unit 0

Aug  4 11:49:33 syslog: Error code 48: DDNS server response not OK

The ip address it states is the correct WAN ip.

Any ideas?

 

[fiasko]

My AC87U logs have few of these errors. Anything that I should be afraid of? These probably don't have anything to do with the dead WAN port in AP mode issue?

Spoiler: log errors

how do i get rid of the new feature enabled for ai mesh every time i log into my router now? ac88u

 

[amoney]

Running into an interesting issue hoping some one can give me pointers on how to debug it.

What i am noticing on my phone is that when the phone is not in use after a while it disconects from the wireless. Now my android os has not updated so i am thinking this might be related to the firmware update of the router. I also enabled airmesh so not sure if that is causing this issue where its trying to figure out if to connect to the airmesh node or the main router.

If any one has any pointers on what i should look for in the log to determine what might be going on that would be great.

I finally updated my N66U to a AC1900P, and i installed this release on the new router, and did a factory reset and set everything up.

My issue is that asuscomm.com DDNS on the new router isn't working. No matter what I put in for my hostname. It says "Request Error! Please try again."

Any ideas?

Are you trying to use the same host name? If so, put the N66U back in, change the DDNS host name on it then go back to the AC1900. Ot email Asus support and wait for them to change it for you.

 

[Wallace_n_Gromit]

I just noticed when comparing the AsusWRT Merlin 384.13 GUI's on my two routers -- Both RT-AC68U's that The Hardware Acceleration settings are slightly different. At the [Tools > Sysinfo] Window I see that one router shows "HW acceleration Enabled (CTF + FA)" and the other shows "HW acceleration Enabled (CTF only)"

1) What's the difference?
2) Can I set them myself and how?
3) Might this be the cause of why one router is running noticeably hotter than the other?

EDIT: just found this link/url: https://routerguide.net/nat-acceleration-on-or-off/

2nd EDIT: After reading that article I somewhat answered Questions 1 & 2.

Just "spit balling" here but what browser are you using? Possibly a cookie issue?

It does it with any hostname. I already, on my old router, went in and delisted the ddns i wanted by changing it on there. It worked. This new router doesn't want to register any domain.

 

[menaceinc]

I bought a new RT-AC66U-B1 to set up as an AiMesh node, I did the setup without any problem. My main router RT-AC68U saw the AC66U-B1 but couldn't connect to it. I ended up returning the new router.

Make sure your browser isn't interfering, and also that you aren't running out of nvram space. That page will set a flag on the router the first time you click on Ok to prevent it from being displayed again.

Make sure it's a genuine RT-AC1900P and not a modded model - these are not supported.

 

[st3v3n]

No performance issues after upgrading to v384.13 on the RT-AC3200, other than what looks like an error in the enclosed jpg indicates. Previously, the GUI has always displayed that the internet/WAN is connected when it is, unlike in this shot. Went from .12 to .13, otherwise, a great job as always. The update went smooth as always so as long as the machine keeps powering on, perking up and chugging along...

How do I check that? As far as I can tell it's genuine. Here's the box:
